3 FanDuel Premier League Players to Avoid in Matchweek 27
Jamie Vardy, Forward, Leicester City
Salary: $10,500
Vardy is the third-highest priced forward on the slate, and he has averaged 16.16 FanDuel points through 22 appearances. Vardy came off the bench in the Foxes’ previous Premier League match against Tottenham but was able to produce his second-highest FanDuel output of the season, scoring one goal -- while missing a penalty -- on three shots and recording 28 FanDuel points.
Leicester are a slight favorite over Palace, and the match has a 59.3% chance of going under 2.5 goals, according to oddsmakers. Palace have surrendered the ninth-most goals (22) on the road this season but have allowed one or fewer goals in two of their last three matches away from Selhurst Park.
Vardy has scored eight goals, including five as a starter, but has scored more goals (three) as a starter away from King Power Stadium. Vardy, per oddsmakers, has a 43.5% chance of finding the back of the net but could struggle against a Palace squad that has allowed the seventh-fewest shots (316) to all positions while allowing the third-fewest shots (1.77) per 90 minutes to forwards since Matchweek 20.
With only three matches on the slate, any goal will likely have a large impact on the outcome of DFS tournaments, and there are forwards that are in perceived better matchups who could help DFS players win large-field tournaments.
