Lukasz Fabianski, Goalie, West Ham

FanDuel Price: $5,500

Fabianski offers a nice balance of clean-sheet odds and save volume this week in a home date with Newcastle.

Newcastle have been playing better lately, winning three of their past five EPL matches to keep their head above water in their relegation battle. But two of those wins were home matches against Huddersfield and Burnley, two of the softest matchups in the league.

Playing behind a fairly pedestrian West Ham defense, although they played superb as a group on Wednesday in a 1-0 loss at Manchester City, Fabianski has made 110 saves this season, the most in the EPL. He's registered at least four saves in each of his last five matches, racking up 24 total stops in that stretch. One of those matches was at home versus Fulham, so he should be called into action fairly often against Newcastle.

Fabianski's clean-sheet win odds aren't great, but they're decent. West Ham are a 0.5-goal favorite with 48.8% implied win odds, and Newcastle carry a 1.0-goal implied goal total.

Manchester United's David De Gea ($6,000) and Manchester City's Ederson ($6,500) have better clean-sheet odds, but neither offers much in the way of save volume. So if they miss out on the clean sheet, they could post a low number. Fabianski has a nice combination of floor and upside in this spot.
