3 FanDuel Premier League Trends to Exploit for Matchweek 17

Sporadic Clean Sheets

Bournemouth, Leicester, and Huddersfield are the only teams on the slate that failed to score last week. It had been nearly a month since any of those teams were shut out. Despite their place in the standings, Huddersfield last failed to score a goal on October 27th.

There were six shutouts last matchweek, but there were none the previous matchweek. During Matchweek 14 there were 5 shutouts, but Crystal Palace and West Ham were two of the teams that held their opponent without a goal. In other words, there is no pattern to the occurrence of shutouts.

There are 21 keepers who have recorded a clean sheet. Overall, 12 of the goalkeepers have at least 4 shutouts this season. While it is good to look at odds, the lack of a pattern means looking at the likelihood of a win, not a shutout, for your starting keeper.
