4 FanDuel Premier League Players to Avoid in Matchweek 25

​Patrick van Aanholt, Defender, Crystal Palace

Salary: $6,500

Van Aanholt is tied with two other players as the fourth-highest priced defender on the slate, and he has averaged 13.64 FanDuel points this season -- the lowest average among all defenders priced at or above $6,000.

Fulham have a 70.1% chance of finding the back of the net, per oddsmakers, a feat they have accomplished in three of their last four road matches. Van Aanholt has scored at least 13 FanDuel points in six of his last seven matches but may struggle to reach that mark against a Cottagers’ squad that does not relinquish a large number of defensive actions. They have allowed the fourth-most interceptions (321), ninth-fewest tackles (413), fourth-fewest blocked shots (67) and second-fewest clearances (435) to all positions this season.

Van Aanholt is involved in the Eagles’ attack, producing 11 shots and 10 chances created over his last six matches, but in a match that doesn’t project to see a lot of scoring and against a club that doesn’t produce many defensive statistics, the Dutch player should be avoided in favor of cheaper defenders that should see more action.
