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?

Jamie Vardy, Forward, Leicester

FanDuel Salary: $10,000

Vardy and the Foxes are 0.5-goal favorites with a 1.5-goal implied total at home versus Southampton. That feels a little low as Leicester sit in seventh with a +2 goal differential while the Saints check in 18th with a -17 goal differential.

As always, Vardy is best suited for tournaments, because his DFS value is heavily reliant on goals. He has seven goals and two assists in 14 EPL starts this campaign, and he's been in great form, scoring four goals over his last seven matches. He leads Leicester in shots per match (2.1) and is their chief penalty taker.

Admittedly, it's a pretty weak slate for forwards, but if you are playing in small-field contests, you can pay up for the floor of Roberto Firmino ($12,000), though his salary is restrictive.
