3 FanDuel Premier League Under-the-Radar Plays for Matchweek 16

Christian Eriksen, Midfielder, Tottenham

Salary: $8,500

Despite his salary of $8,500 being low for a player of his quality, Christian Eriksen may carry less ownership than he should on Saturday. While his salary is low, there are numerous enticing options in the same range as him, including Felipe Anderson ($8,500), Jesse Lingard ($8,500), and Riyad Mahrez ($8,000). Eriksen may also see a slight reduction in ownership with Tottenham playing in the late afternoon game.

After an injury caused his season to get off to a slow start, Eriksen has been rounding into form since his return. Over his last three matches Eriksen has 4 assists, 12 chances created, and 2 shots on goal. Over those three matches he has averaged 25.9 FanDuel points and now faces a Leicester City side that has conceded 2.3 goals per match when facing elite opponents this season.

On paper, Leicester City seem solid defensively, but they have had one of the easiest schedules in the league. Through 15 matches, they have only faced 3 elite sides; over their remaining 5 matches, they will double that number with matches against Tottenham, Chelsea, and Manchester City. On the other side of the pitch, Tottenham has the second-most away goals in the Premier League with 17. They are on top of the away table and have 8 wins in this last 10 matches overall. This sets up as a spot where Tottenham could surprise a Leicester side and produce a strong result.
