3 FanDuel Premier League Under-the-Radar Plays for Matchweek 5
Aaron Mooy, Midfielder, Huddersfield
Salary: $8,000
Huddersfield's start to the season was less than ideal, to say the least. They lost to Chelsea and Manchester City by a combined score of one goal to nine goals, and have been looked at as an excellent matchup ever since. However, in the two matches that followed, they drew against Cardiff and Everton, allowing only a single goal across both matches. They should continue to hold their own at home against Crystal Palace this weekend.
If the match is close, Aaron Mooy should have opportunities to contribute on both sides of the ball. With Wilfried Zaha ($9,000) likely to return from injury, ownership in this match should be fixated on Crystal Palace's players, leaving Mooy extremely low owned. He is far from an offensive powerhouse, but he did contribute four goals and three assists last season.
Crystal Palace opened the season with a win over Fulham, but have lost three in a row since. They concede the sixth most shots per game in the Premier League at 15.8, which is even worse than it looks considering they have faced only one elite side so far. The match seems set up for a draw, but with ownership firmly on Crystal Palace, Huddersfield's players, such as Mooy, are intriguing for large field tournaments.
