3 FanDuel Premier League Under-the-Radar Plays for Matchweek 9

Jonjo Shelvey, Midfielder, Newcastle

Salary: $7,000

The expected popularity of Shaqiri makes other options in his price range appealing pivots. While Newcastle's last match before the international break will be remembered for Manchester United's epic comeback, Newcastle was in control for much of that game. Shelvey played a critical role in that success, creating four chances, an assist and a shot on goal, leading to 37 FanDuel points.

Shelvey has now scored over 15 FanDuel points in back to back matches and faces a Brighton side that historically struggles on the road. Dating back to the start of last season, Brighton has just 3 wins in their last 23 road matches, conceding 1.56 goals per match over that stretch.

On paper, Newcastle appears to be horrible at home, with four losses in four games and eight goals conceded. However, three of those matches were one-goal defeats to Tottenham, Chelsea, and Arsenal. If Newcastle can produce the same form that saw jump out to a lead over Manchester United, they should be able to find success in this match, to the benefit of Shelvey.
