4 FanDuel Premier League Players to Avoid in Matchweek 7

Rui Patricio, Goalie, Wolverhampton

Salary: $5,000

Tied with four other keepers as the fourth-highest priced keeper on the slate, Patricio is coming off his fourth-straight performance scoring over 10 FanDuel points after totaling just 2 FanDuel points through the first 2 matches of the season. Patricio has averaged 12.67 FanDuel points while picking up two clean sheets through six matches.

The Wolves have a 55.6% chance to win Saturday’s match, and while the match has a 47.6% chance of reaching over 2.5 goals, the Saints have a 65.2% chance of scoring at least one goal, a feat they have accomplished in five of their six matches this season.

If the Saints are able to find the back of the net against the Wolves, Patricio’s upside would likely be extremely limited as Southampton have forced the eighth-fewest save opportunities (3.0) per 90 minutes to opposing keepers this season.

With FanDuel's new scoring, Manchester City’s Ederson seems like the obvious plays -- if DFS players can afford him -- while the other keepers at $5,500 and below should offer better save upside than Patricio.
