As is the case when playing any sport on FanDuel, it’s imperative to hit on high-priced studs, the players in which you’ve made the biggest investment. This is especially true with forwards in soccer. Not only are the top-end forwards expensive, they are the ones most likely to put the ball in the back of the net, and goals are often the difference between winning and losing in DFS.
Let’s take a look at some high-priced players -- all across the pitch -- who, despite costing a good chunk of change, are worth the investment.
This article is geared toward FanDuel's main slate, which begins at 10:00 a.m. EST Saturday and features six matches.
| Matchweek 5 |

| Saturday, September 15th |
| Leicester City at Bournemouth |
| Crystal Palace at Huddersfield |
| Arsenal at Newcastle United |
| Cardiff City at Chelsea |
| Fulham at Manchester City |
| Manchester United at Watford |
We've got two big home favorites in Manchester City and Chelsea, both of whom have great implied win odds -- Chelsea at 83.3% and City at 88.5% -- per Betfair. Outside of those two, ownership should be spread fairly evenly across the rest of the slate. Normally, Manchester United would be a popular target for a fixture at Watford, but given the form of the two teams (Watford is rolling while United have been underwhelming), it's hard to get too geeked about the Red Devils.
Let's get to it.
