4 FanDuel Premier League Players to Avoid in Matchweek 34

James Tarkowski, Defender, Burnley

Salary: $6,500

Tarkowski is tied with four other defenders as the third-highest priced player at the position, and he has averaged 19.11 FanDuel points this season -- the fourth-highest FanDuel average among all defenders that have played more than one match. Tarkowski has failed to reach his season-long average in five of his previous six matches, averaging 13.11 FanDuel points over that span.

Burnley are the favorite over Cardiff, who have a 62.1% chance of scoring at least one goal, according to oddsmakers, a feat they have failed to accomplished in three of their last five away matches. The match has a 58% chance of going under 2.5 goals.

If the Clarets do relinquish a goal (something they have done in five of their last six matches at Turf Moor), Tarkowski may have a hard time producing value (as long as he stays off the score sheet), as the Bluebirds have allowed the third-most clearances (21.53), fifth-most blocked shots (2.97), second-fewest tackles (14.13) and fewest interceptions (7.8) per road match on this slate.

Despite sitting second in the Premier League with 195 clearances, Tarkowski has failed to total over five clearances in six straight matches and should be avoided against a squad likely competing in the Championship next season. At the top-end of the salary range, Angelo Ogbonna ($6,500) should see an uptick in defensive statistics as Manchester United should be on the front-foot for most of the match as they desperately need three points.
