​Kepa Arrizabalaga, Goalie, Chelsea

Salary: $5,500

Kepa is tied with two other players as the third-highest priced keeper on the slate, and he has averaged 13.1 FanDuel points this season. Kepa is second in the league with 10 clean sheets including picking up 5 away from Stamford Bridge.

The Gunners, according to oddsmakers, have a 79.2% chance of scoring at least one goal, a feat they have accomplished in 10 of their 11 home matches this season -- including 10 straight -- while scoring at least two goals in three of their last four matches at Emirates Stadium. Despite currently sitting in fifth, Arsenal have only forced the eighth-fewest saves (64) while scoring the third-most goals (46) this season.

With FanDuel's scoring system, DFS players need to attack keepers who will hopefully produce a clean-sheet win or find a keeper who should see a large amount of save opportunities. While Alisson ($6,500) and David de Gea ($6,000) are clearly the two best options, David Button ($4,500) should expect to see a large number of save opportunities and will offer some salary relief, when it could be much needed.
