4 FanDuel Premier League Studs to Target for Matchweek 28
Manchester City are overwhelming home favorites versus West Ham, putting their stars, including Raheem Sterling, in a money spot. Who else should you roster on a Wednesday slate loaded with big-six sides?

Alexandre Lacazette, Forward, Arsenal

FanDuel Price: $11,500

This is really just a placeholder for whoever starts at striker for Arsenal.

Manager Unai Emery had been using a lot of two-forward formations for much of the season. But over the last two matches, Arsenal have switched to a one-striker formation, and they won both fixtures. Lacazette started over Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ($11,000) in both matches, and he scored a goal in each.

While it certainly wouldn't be shocking to see Aubameyang get the nod in a midweek match due to the quick turnaround and short rest, Lacazette has made a strong case to be the Gunners' number-nine right now. Whether it's Aubameyang or Lacazette (or both), Arsenal's starting striker is in a great spot at home versus Bournemouth as the Gunners own implied win odds of 70.6%, per FanDuel Sportsbook.

Arsenal have netted 30 goals in 14 home EPL matches while Bournemouth have conceded the second-most goals away from home, allowing 30 in 13 road matches.

In 19 EPL starts, Lacazette has totaled 11 goals and five assists while Aubameyang has scored 15 goals with four assists in 23 league starts.

On most slates, the Gunners would be very popular. They may still be highly owned on this slate, but with title combatants Liverpool and Manchester City also installed as big favorites, there's a chance Arsenal's top DFS assets could sneak under the radar a bit. That makes them extra appealing, particularly for GPPs.
