4 FanDuel Premier League Studs to Target for Matchweek 6
Forward -- Wilfried Zaha, Crystal Palace
FanDuel Price: $9,500
With Liverpool, Tottenham, Manchester City and Manchester United on the slate, we're spoiled for top-shelf options this week, especially at forward and midfield. That means there's a number of ways you can go with your lineup construction.
One way that allows you to save a little coin and potentially differentiate your lineup is to go with Zaha at a forward spot.
Zaha is the main man for Crystal Palace, who are 0.5-goal favorites at home against Newcastle United, with the Eagles boasting a decent 1.5-goal implied total. Palace have netted four goals this season, with Zaha accounting for three of them despite missing a match. He takes 2.5 shots per match, and he's put up at least 25 FanDuel points in three of his four outings, scoring a goal in each such performance.
These stats are a little skewed because Newcastle has played a rough schedule to start the campaign, but the Magpies sit last in possession (37.4%) and allow the third-most shots per game (15.6). This is a great spot for Zaha, and with four top-six clubs on the slate, he could go a bit under-owned.
