4 FanDuel Premier League Value Plays for Matchweek 5
Forward - Troy Deeney, Watford ($7,500)
Deeney is the fifth-highest scoring forward on this slate, averaging a shade more than 22 points per match. He has scored two goals, created three chances, and contributed 12 defensive actions in the four matches. He is the clear favorite to score a goal for Watford.
Watford have scored at least two goals in their last four home matches. Manchester United have also allowed a goal on their last five visits to Watford, including five goals over the last two fixtures.
Deeney scored a penalty in last year's home match, and he remains the top choice for penalty kicks. In fact, if he scores on a penalty versus the Red Devils this year, it will be the third year in a row that Deeney scored from the spot against Manchester United at Vicarage Road. Manchester United have conceded one penalty this season, and Deeney will be waiting if they concede another.
