Do Not Dwell on Keepers

Since it is a combined week, it is good to add another trend to watch as the holiday schedule ramps up. This is the other wacky season -- not the one where rumors that every star in the league is on the move -- when the games come so close together that an unexpected result is bound to happen. With that, do not dwell too much on keepers as the bulk of your points are likely to come from other areas.

There are only two keepers on Wednesday's slate who scored more than 20 points over the weekend. Only Alisson ($6,500) and Hugo Lloris ($6,000) average over 15 points per game. Lloris is coming off a horrific performance that netted -4 FanDuel points. A keeper's fortune can turn quickly, just ask Jordan Pickford ($6,000).

Take a look at the matchups and the odds on the FanDuel Sportsbook. A clean sheet is rewarded handsomely, so that should be the number-one thought. Liverpool are the biggest favorite on Wednesday while Arsenal are the biggest favorite on Saturday, and their respective keepers should be given a look.

Ownership percentage matters less with the keepers since only a few have been consistent. Having the top-scoring keeper is a solid foundation, even if you go with chalk at the position, and your lineup can separate itself elsewhere.
