4 FanDuel Premier League Studs to Target for Matchweek 5
An in-form Eden Hazard is in a mouth-watering spot as Chelsea host Cardiff City. Which other top-shelf players can you trust this week?

Goalie -- Kepa Arrizabalaga, Chelsea

FanDuel Price: $6,000

The clear top two keepers on this slate are Arrizabalaga and Manchester City's Ederson ($5,500). Both goalies play for overwhelming favorites and have solid clean-sheet odds. They are the only guys you should be looking at in cash given their shot at getting the coveted win and clean-sheet bonuses, and picking between the two of them is splitting hairs.

But with Kepa being $500 more expensive, Ederson may end up seeing a good bit more ownership, making the Chelsea keeper a good pivot option in GPPs.

Both City (65.8% possession) and Chelsea (64.7%) should see a ton of the ball, and there's very little save volume in play for Kepa or Ederson. If you want some exposure to that, you can throw out Petr Cech ($5,500) in some tourney lineups as Arsenal have a decent chance at a win (51% implied odds) and Cech should be called into action a handful of times. With that said, his clean-sheet odds aren't great, so he's a low-floor, high-ceiling play.
