7/26 EPL Finale DFS and Bets

This article focuses on 7/26 EPL Picks for DraftKings and FanDuel Sportsbook and FanDuel and DraftKings Daily Fantasy. We consider tournament tactics, statistics, pricing, and attempt to tackle this highly variable Daily Fantasy format so we can gain an edge on the field at large.

Sunday 7/26 EPL Slate

We are down to the EPL season finale and for DFS purposes it is absolute sensory overload. The rankings are somewhat less scientific than usual as there are tons of great plays and many stars will be coming in at lower ownership than we are accustomed to. It makes it less of a cash slate and more of a tournament slate with so many lineup possibilities.

So, from the standpoint of an observer, what’s at stake?

Champion’s League 2020-2021 Qualification

Well, there are two Champion’s League spots up for grabs between Chelsea, Manchester United, and Leicester City, the latter two who are facing each other. Chelsea and Manchester United enter the final day with 63 points to Leicester City’s 62. However, Chelsea would lose to both teams on goal difference in the event of a Manchester United and Leicester City tie and Chelsea loss.

Relegation

We also have the finish to the battle for the third and final relegation spot as Watford travels to Arsenal, while Aston Villa heads to West Ham. Aston Villa leads on goal difference, which serves as the tiebreaker in the case they share the same result, but only by a single goal. I don’t know about you but Watford bores me and I never liked insects to begin with, so let’s go Villa!

The Golden Boot

In another matter of interest, Jamie Vardy leads Danny Ings 23-21 in the Golden Boot race. One goal would likely seal the deal for the veteran Leicester City striker, who is on pace to win his first ever Golden Boot at age 33.

The Betting Game Plan

Neck and neck with Aston Villa in the relegation battle, the Watford Hornets need a better result than Villa and hope to get it on the road against Arsenal. The only problem with that is the fact that they are absolute ass.

Watford has been relatively non-competitive their last few matches and with Arsenal coming off a road letdown against aforementioned Aston Villa, I think they bounce back here at very fair -110 odds.

As for the second match listed, Manchester United has put up back to back poor performances against Chelsea and West Ham. However, they have been much better than Leicester City overall since the restart. This game is for a Champion’s League spot and I expect the deeper, more talented team to handle business on the road.
