4 FanDuel Premier League Players to Avoid in Matchweek 7

Eden Hazard, Midfielder, Chelsea

Salary: $11,500

Hazard is the top-priced midfielder, and third-highest priced player on the slate, and he has averaged 27.10 FanDuel points this season. Hazard has scored in three of his four starts while totaling five goals over that span.

Chelsea are slight underdogs against the Reds as they have a 34.8% win probability compared to Liverpool’s 42.1% win probability. The Reds have won all six matches to start the season, conceding only two goals in six matches, and have played well against forwards. They have allowed the fourth-fewest chances created (0.69), second-fewest crosses (0.28), second-fewest shots (1.52) and second-fewest shots on target (0.41) per 90 minutes to forwards this season.

Hazard has many ways to reach value and is a fine play in cash games. However, Hazard, in a tough matchup, has the second-lowest anytime goal-scoring odds (37%) among the six midfielders priced $9,500 and above, only above fellow teammate Willian (23.1%). Hazard’s ceiling is likely limited in a match that has only a 16.7% chance of totaling over 2.5 goals while the Manchester City midfielders (both with higher odds to find the back of the net) feature in a match that has a 20% chance of scoring over 5.5 goals.
