4 FanDuel Premier League Value Plays for Matchweek 9

Forward - Yoshinori Muto, Newcastle ($6,000)

Muto earned more playing time by scoring in his first start of the season. His pace was a problem for Manchester United in that outing, and his partnership with Ayoze Perez ($6,500) worked well. He was credited with one chance creation, two fouls drawn, and two tackles.

Muto should play in front of Perez as Newcastle press Brighton. Brighton have now failed to win their last 17 away matches. They have also conceded at least two goals in five of their last six away matches and are allowing nearly 17 shots per game.

Muto's production went up each of the past two years at Mainz before coming to Newcastle. Not surprisingly, it coincided with increased playing time. His eight goals in the Bundesliga last year were Muto's high-water mark as he also started the most games he had started in any season. Now that he is getting playing time in the Premier League, he could produce similar results.
