4 FanDuel Premier League Players to Avoid in Matchweek 8
Wilfried Zaha is the key man for Palace and has scored three goals so far this season, but he may struggle in a tough spot against Wolves. Which other players should you avoid for Matchweek 8?

Joe Hart, Goalie, Burnley

Salary: $5,000

Tied with three other keepers as the fifth-highest priced keeper on the slate, Hart is coming off his fifth-straight performance scoring more than 10 FanDuel points while reaching over that mark in six matches overall, as the Clarets relinquish a large number of save opportunities. Hart has averaged 15.5 FanDuel points while picking up two clean sheets through seven matches.

The Clarets have a 50% chance to win Saturday’s match, and while the match has a 41.7% chance of reaching over 2.5 goals, the Terriers have a 63.6% chance of scoring at least one goal, a feat they have accomplished in all three road matches this season.

If the Terriers are able to find the back of the net against the Clarets, Hart’s upside would likely be extremely limited as Huddersfield have forced the fifth-fewest save opportunities (15) to opposing keepers this season.

With FanDuel's new scoring, Tottenham’s Hugo Lloris (who started the Champions League fixture on Wednesday) or Paulo Gazzaniga seems like the obvious play -- while Lloris would offer savings and seemingly better upside than Hart.
