4 FanDuel Premier League Studs to Target for Matchweek 7

With Manchester City a huge home favorite versus Brighton, Raheem Sterling offers enticing upside. Which other high-priced players should you target?

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 is geared toward FanDuel's main slate, which begins at 10:00 a.m. EST Saturday and features seven matches.

Of the seven matches, only two -- Watford at Arsenal and Brighton at Manchester City -- have a spread of more than 1.0 goal.
