4 FanDuel Premier League Value Plays for Matchweek 23

Shane Long finally broke through last week and has a good match up again this week, making him one of Matchweek 23's best value plays.

Value plays are often the difference on the FanDuel leaderboard. Prices are up this week with much of the top half of the table in action.

This article is geared towards FanDuel's main slate, which begins at 10 a.m. EST Saturday and features seven matches.

Roberto Firmino ($13,000) sits atop the player list for the first time all season. The number of players at or over $9,000 is significantly increased over last week as 21 players sit at or above that threshold.

There are three defenders, James Tarkowski, Nathan Ake, and Jose Holebas, from different teams priced at $7,000. There are a total of 19 defenders at or above $6,000.

Alisson ($6,500) leads the keepers again. The expected starters range back to $4,000 due in part to the injury to Crystal Palace's Vicente Guaita.

Let's look at some value plays across the pitch who will make roster construction easier and potentially be the difference between winning and losing.
