4 FanDuel Premier League Studs to Target for Matchweek 29

Playing as well as anyone in the Premier League, Paul Pogba is in a blow-up spot at home versus Southampton. Which other high-priced players should you build around?

As is the case when playing any sport on FanDuel, it’s imperative to hit on high-priced studs, the players in which you’ve made the biggest investment. This is especially true with forwards in soccer. Not only are the top-end forwards expensive, they are the ones most likely to put the ball in the back of the net, and goals are often the difference between winning and losing in DFS.

Let’s take a look at some high-priced players -- all across the pitch -- who, despite costing a good chunk of change, are worth the investment.

This article will cover FanDuel's main slate that begins Saturday at 10:00 a.m. EST and features six matches.

Matchweek 29
Saturday, March 2nd
Manchester City at Bournemouth
Huddersfield at Brighton
Crystal Palace at Burnley
Southampton at Manchester United
Cardiff City at Wolverhampton
Newcastle at West Ham


The Manchester clubs are the only two big-six sides on this slate. City, as you might expect, are the slate's biggest favorites. Even in a road matchup versus a decent Bournemouth side, the Citizens own implied win odds of 82.1%, per FanDuel Sportsbook. United and Wolves are tied as second-biggest favorites, each boasting 68.8% implied win odds. After that, it's Brighton, who have 56.5% implied win odds at home versus Huddersfield.
