3 FanDuel Premier League Players to Avoid in Matchweek 27

​Andros Townsend, Midfielder, Crystal Palace

Salary: $8,500

Townsend is tied with four other players as the third-highest midfielder on the slate, and he has averaged 14.73 FanDuel points this season -- the second-lowest average among the midfielders priced at or above $8,500.

The Eagles have scored at least one goal in 11 of 13 matches away from Selhurst Park, including six straight, and have a 68.3% chance of scoring, according to oddsmakers. Townsend has contributed on 25.9% -- four goals and three assists -- of Palace’s 27 goals this season and has an 18.9% chance of scoring against the Foxes, per oddsmakers.

Townsend is seventh in the Premier League with 135 crosses, and he has sent in at least three crosses in all but three matches this season while creating 46 scoring chances, the eighth-most. Despite allowing the 10th-most crosses (478) to all positions this season, the Foxes have allowed the 4th-fewest chances created (214) while giving up the 7th-fewest goals (13) on their home pitch.

At his price, Townsend is only $1,000 cheaper than teammate Luka Milivojevic ($9,500), who takes penalties and has scored more than 14 FanDuel points in six straight matches, a mark Townsend has reached in just three of his last six matches.
