This article focuses on 9/27 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 9/27 EPL Slate and DFS Gameplan
Today’s slate varies between the two sites. Both sites slates start at 9 a.m. ET but DraftKings is only offering the first two games, whereas FanDuel’s slate is featuring all three.
The first two games will be the most popular on FanDuel either way. Manchester City hosts Leicester City and Tottenham hosts Newcastle and both teams should be extremely chalky.
Gabriel Jesus will be out for Manchester City after picking up an injury that should keep him for out for awhile. With Sergio Aguero still out, expect Riyad Mahrez to get bumped into the starting lineup. As for the Leicester side in that game, James Maddison started mid week and may not be ready to start back to back games.
EPL Best Bet
Wolves (+105) at West Ham (+280) – 2:00 PM ET – Sunday 9/27
Picks I like – *WOLVES – ML – +105*
The Betting Game Plan
Wolves came up short last weekend against Manchester City, but also deserved better than the 3-1 final score would reflect. They will face a far less imposing opponent this weekend. West Ham has struggled at home over the last couple of years, setting up a perfect storm.
Given the plus odds on a Wolves away victory, I like the Wolves money line. Defensively, they should be able to handle whatever West Ham throws at them.
