4 FanDuel Premier League Studs to Target for Matchweek 26
Alisson, Goalie, Liverpool
FanDuel Price: $6,500
As has been the case in almost all of his home matches this year, Alisson offers superb clean-sheet and win odds. As we've touched on, Bournemouth own a meager 0.75-goal implied total while Liverpool's implied win odds are a sparkling 84.6%. Alisson can net 17 FanDuel points without making a save if he notches a clean-sheet win, and Bournemouth have lost their past seven away matches in the Premier League.
All of that is good.
The bad is that Alisson offers very little in the way of save volume -- hasn't made more than two saves in a match in any of the Reds' past seven league fixtures -- and would likely post a pretty low number if he doesn't get the 10-point clean-sheet bonus, something that's a little more likely with Liverpool's back four missing two key cogs (Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez).
Still, Alisson offers -- by far -- the best win odds on this slate.
Don't sleep on Arsenal's Bernd Leno ($6,000), though. Huddersfield have a 0.75-goal implied total, giving Leno the same clean-sheet chances as Alisson, though the win odds (63%) are quite a bit lower. Huddersfield, to put it plainly, are the worst team in the EPL, and they've got just five goals in 13 home matches this campaign. Going with Leno over Alisson is sacrificing wins odds to get a little more expected save volume while not losing anything in clean-sheet chances.
