4 FanDuel Premier League Studs to Target for Matchweek 23

Mo Salah, Midfielder, Liverpool

FanDuel Price: $12,500

Salah is listed as a midfielder, but he's been deployed as a sole striker fairly often this season, moving in centrally as opposed to being on the right wing, where he played almost all of last season. That's put Salah at the heart of Liverpool's attacks, and it's given him a great chance to be involved in everything the Reds do going forward, resulting in a spike in assists.

In EPL play a season ago, Salah netted 32 goals while dishing out 10 assists across 34 starts. This campaign, he's tallied 14 goals and 7 assists in 21 starts. His goals are down to "just" 0.68 per 90 minutes, but he's averaging 1.02 goals and assists per 90.

Liverpool -- owners of a 2.5-goal implied total -- are the slate's biggest favorite, boasting 84.6% implied win odds and sitting as a 2.0-goal home favorite versus Crystal Palace. As has been the case all season -- and it looks like it will remain this way for the duration of the EPL campaign -- the Reds will be going all out for the three points as they are in a heated title race with Manchester City. That gives Liverpool's DFS stars some added safety as they are unlikely to be subbed off the pitch unless the Reds get a sizeable lead, a lead which hopefully said stars helped build.

Salah is likely to be a chalky play this weekend, and if you want to try to dodge some ownership, you can pivot to fellow Reds attacker Sadio Mane ($9,500).
