4 FanDuel Premier League Studs to Target for Matchweek 30
Manchester City are massive home favorites versus Watford, putting their stars in a great spot. Who else should you build around this weekend?

Sergio Agüero, Forward, Manchester City

FanDuel Price: $13,500

This slate is all about Manchester City, and the first thing you have to do when building a lineup is figure out how you want to attack Pep Guardiola's side.

At home versus Watford, City boast implied win odds of 88.2%, per FanDuel Sportsbook, and are a 2.5-goal favorite with a hefty 3.0-goal implied total. You could fade Agüero or Raheem Sterling ($10,500) -- who we will get to in a second -- to try to avoid some chalk, but both of them could go nuts in this spot. Guardiola could make this slate really interesting if he rests some of his key guys ahead of an important midweek Champions League match versus Schalke, but with City in a heated EPL title race with Liverpool, that doesn't seem super likely.

Agüero costs a pretty penny, but this is a dream spot for him, and his role as penalty taker cements his status as the slate's top play. Over his last six EPL matches, he's totaled eight goals and has scored at least 27.0 FanDuel points in four of the outings, with two eruptions (both hat tricks) of 61.3 and 67.6 FanDuel points.

While Agüero can break this slate, you need to at least consider passing on him in GPPs for game theory reasons. If you fade him and he doesn't find the back of the net, it would likely give you a big leg up on the field. In small-field contests, though, you pretty much have to plug him in and go from there.
