4 FanDuel Premier League Players to Avoid in Matchweek 25

With most of the top-clubs not on the slate, ​Aleksandar Mitrovic may be an intriguing option, but he's has struggled on the road. What other players should we avoid for Matchweek 25?

This article is geared towards FanDuel's main slate, which begins at 10:00 a.m. EST Saturday and features six matches. The slate features five top-10 clubs, and is capped when Cardiff host Bournemouth, with the Cherries a +130 favorite on FanDuel’s Sportsbook, putting their implied win probability at 43.5%.

As with any DFS sport, it is imperative to have your players, especially the high-priced studs, live up to their price tag. When investing in any player, it is important to determine who will likely contribute in FanDuel's emphasized areas (goals, assists, and shots on target). It's also just as crucial not to overspend on players in bad matchups.

We should try to take advantage of the teams -- and players -- who play especially well either home or away, while also looking at oddsmakers' favorites and over/under totals. With all squads playing midweek matches, DFS players, as always, should check out injury reports and confirmed starting XI's when they become available since some players may be rested.

Let's take a look at four players across the entire pitch who should be avoided.
