3 FanDuel Premier League Value Plays for Matchweek 31

Defender - Aaron Cresswell, West Ham ($4,500)

Plenty of West Ham players will be targeted this weekend given their opponent. Cresswell should be one of the lower-owned Hammers though. He has been inconsistent and dealt with injury this season, but the match up against Huddersfield should allow him to get forward and offer upside at both ends of the pitch.

In the previous match between these teams, West Ham had 56% of possession. If that holds, Cresswell should be able to put in multiple crosses from overlapping runs. He had one key pass and was fouled twice in the first match this season. Cresswell was tied for the team lead with five clearances in November match. He led the team in touches and had nearly an 80% pass success rate as well.

Cresswell has created one chance in three of the last four matches. His defensive numbers were solid last week as he was credited with seven actions with four being interceptions. Cresswell's play and the favorable match up should keep him in the starting lineup, but be sure to check about an hour before kickoff.
