4 FanDuel Premier League Studs to Target for Matchweek 22
Trent Alexander-Arnold has seized free-kick duties and is in a money spot on Saturday with Liverpool a big favorite over Brighton. Which other high-cost players should you build around?

Eden Hazard, Midfielder, Chelsea

FanDuel Salary: $11,500

While the forward options aren't great, Chelsea and Liverpool -- both of whom are 1.5-goal favorites -- offer some tantalizing midfield choices. You can go any number of ways here, but let's focus on Hazard.

In three away matches against top-six sides (Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United), Newcastle have surrendered 9 goals and an average of 19.3 shots per game. They haven't seen more than 27% possession in any of those three fixtures, so Hazard and the Blues are in a great spot to run riot.

The only concern with Hazard is that he's sometimes been used in a false-nine role and hasn't thrived in those situations. If he starts in his usual midfield spot, however, he should spend plenty of time on the ball. He's the Blues' penalty taker and has totaled 10 goals and 9 assists in 17 EPL starts, scoring at least 23 FanDuel points in six of his last eight outings.
