Saturday 12/19 EPL Slate and DFS Gameplan

It’s time to kick off EPL Matchweek 14/38 with a three game Saturday slate!

We begin with Manchester City (-215) traveling to Southampton (+575). City has been playing phenomenal defense, as of late. However, it has come at the expense of their offense, which has been lacking that final touch.

This will certainly be no easy game for City against a Southampton team that is getting the most out of their abilities. Therefore, after some soft matchups, I am not as high on them today.

Afterwards, Arsenal (+210) heads to Goodison Park to take on a streaking Everton (+130) side. Arsenal has been struggling and have to hope that Pierre-Emerick Aubemeyang’s goal last game will be the first of many.

Meanwhile, Everton comes into this game off the back of consecutive wins against Chelsea and Leicester City. Nevertheless, James Rodriguez will remain out for Everton.

Finally, we close with a pair of bottom feeders as Fulham (+180) visits Newcastle (+155). It might not be pretty. However, this isn’t the worse source of some cheap value where needed.

As a result, I don’t mind grabbing an Aleksander Mitrovic or Callum Wilson to fill out my lineup. Be sure to not to roster them against the opposing goalie, given their goal or nothing nature.

The Betting Game Plan

This will be a tough test for Manchester City but it is a game they need to win, in order to remain in the title race. As for Everton, I think that their good form continues. Therefore, we might as well roll the two team parlay.
