Saturday 2/20 EPL DFS

This article focuses on 2/20 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. The goal is to gain an edge on the field at large.

Saturday 2/20 EPL Slate and DFS Gameplan

It’s time for another EPL Saturday morning and we have you all set with a breakdown below.

There are three games on tap, for what should be yet another relatively low scoring slate. Goals will be at a premium, so it is important that we do our homework.

Notable Goal Scoring Odds and Game Breakdowns

Note: Many of these players will not end up starting, but their goal odds are listed just in case. If they do not end up starting, disregard them. All odds listed +300 or below and projected starters are listed in bold.

West Brom (+290) at Burnley (+104) –

Chris Wood (+150), Ashley Barnes (+188), Matej Vydra (+215), Jay Rodriguez (+225), Joel Mubungo (+250), Mbaye Diagne (+280), Hal Robson-Kanu (+350), Karlan Grant (+360), Matheus Periera (+400)

Yuck, what a way to start a Saturday morning. That being said, West Brom will likely make Burnley look good here. Burnley can hunker down and play defense, they have good goaltending, so some things are working for them. That’s more than could be said of lowly West Brom.

Everton (+575) at Liverpool (-220) –

Mohammed Salah (+130), Sadio Mane (+143), Roberto Firmino (+200), Divock Origi (+215), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (+235), Xherdan Shaquiri (+325), Jake Cain (+325), Alex Oxlaide-Chamberlain (+360), Joshua King (+370), Richarlison (+410)

This year’s second rendition of the annual Merseyside derby takes place in Anfield, this Saturday. Liverpool looked strong mid-week against Leipzig in the Champion’s League. They will look to carry that form over to the Premier League, where they have struggled, as of late. Both Mohammed Salah and Sadio Mane stand out as attacking options on a slate with few stars. It seems Trent Alexander-Arnold has retaken control of set pieces and he is my favorite play on the entire slate on DraftKings.

Sheffield United (+260) at Fulham (+120) –

Josh Maja (+240), Ivan Cavaleiro (+250), Ademola Lookman (+280), Billy Sharp (+280), Bobby De Cordova-Reid (+295), Lys Mousset (+300), Rhian Brewster (+300), Oliver McBurnie (+300), David McGoldrick (+300), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (+370), Oliver Burke (+400)

Finally, we have this sad Sheffield United outfit travelling to Fulham. These blades are far from sharp, so as the odds indicate, this is a great opportunity for the Cottagers. Part of the issue is this is the late game and these lineups are both fairly fluid. As a result, this is the game that I would go lightest on.

The Betting Game Plan

Let’s roll with a more popular option to score odds wise than we usually try to target. Mo Salah has been in great form as of late and now finds himself back at home against cross town rivals Everton for the Merseyside Derby. He scored a beautiful goal mid-week and will be looking to add at least one more to his tally.
