4 FanDuel Premier League Studs to Target for Matchweek 6
Goalie -- Alisson, Liverpool
FanDuel Price: $6,000
In small-field contests, it's hard to go away from Alisson. Liverpool have great implied win odds -- 82.0%, per Betfair -- and Southampton carry a meager 0.5-goal implied total. A clean-sheet win is good for a minimum of 17 FanDuel points, and that doesn't take saves into account, which are three points per stop.
In GPPs, there are a plethora of ways you can go, but David de Gea ($5,500) is a nice pivot option at the top-end of keeper pricing. Manchester United are 1.0-goal favorites, and Wolverhampton have a 0.75-goal implied total. So de Gea's win odds and clean-sheet chances aren't too bad.
Plus, Wolves are far from a pushover, averaging 15.6 shots per match, fifth-most in the league, meaning de Gea could rack up a few saves. That gives him a decent floor -- better than the floors of Alisson and Ederson, two keepers who probably won't have to do too much -- as well as big-time upside in the event he picks up a clean-sheet win with a handful of saves.
