4 FanDuel Premier League Players to Avoid in Matchweek 12

Danny Ings has found the back of the net just once in his last five matches and faces a tough matchup. What other players should we avoid for Matchweek 12?

FanDuel’s main slate for Matchweek 12, which begins at 10:00 a.m. EST on Saturday, features five matches, with four of the top-10 clubs in action. The late match features the only top-five club on the slate as Crystal Palace hosts Tottenham, and the Spurs are a -120 favorite on FanDuel Sportsbook, which puts their implied win probability at 54.5%.

As with any DFS sport, it is imperative to have your players, especially the high-priced studs, live up to their price tag. When investing in any player, it is important to determine who will likely contribute in FanDuel's emphasized areas (goals, assists, and shots on target). It's also just as crucial not to overspend on players in bad matchups.

We should try to take advantage of the teams -- and players -- who play especially well either home or away, while also looking at oddsmakers' favorites and over/under totals. With some players playing midweek matches, DFS players, as always, should check out injury reports and confirmed starting XI's when they become available since some players may be rested.

Let's take a look at four players across the entire pitch who should be avoided.
