4 FanDuel Premier League Players to Avoid in Matchweek 35
Ben Chilwell, Defender, Leicester City
Salary: $7,000
Chilwell is tied with three other defenders as the third-highest priced player at the position, and he has averaged 14.49 FanDuel points this season. Chilwell has failed to reach his season-long average in three straight road matches, averaging 8.63 FanDuel points over that span.
Leicester are the slight favorite over West Ham, who have a 78.7% chance of scoring at least one goal, according to oddsmakers, a feat they have accomplished in six of their last seven home matches. The match has a 57.3% chance of going over 2.5 goals.
If the Foxes do relinquish a goal (something they have done six straight matches away from King Power Stadium), Chilwell may have a hard time producing as the Hammers have allowed the fifth-most tackles (16.76), fourth-fewest clearances (20.88), fourth-fewest interceptions (10.76) and fourth-fewest blocked shots (3.06) per home match among teams this slate.
Chilwell has recorded just five chances created over his last six road matches as he has recently been more productive on his home pitch. With that said, Chilwell is plenty talented and can play a delightful cross, so he always has upside. He just doesn't have much of a floor, making him more of a GPP-only play.
At the top-end of the salary range, Jan Bednarek ($7,000) has produced more than 19 FanDuel points in three of his last four matches while his teammate, Maya Yoshida ($5,500), has produced at least 14 FanDuel points in six straight matches but does offer some salary relief.
