3/5 EPL Top Plays
DraftKings Forward
Milot Rashica – Norwich – $7,300 – In terms of a building block at the forward position, Rashica isn’t very sexy, but is the practical pick. His split on set pieces with Billy Gilmour gives us a floor and he is likely due for some positive regression in the scoring department given his role in open play. This home matchup against Brentford will be one of the easier for Norwich the rest of the way so an opportunity for a solid game for Rashica.
FanDuel Forward/Midfielders
Mohammed Salah – Liverpool – $22 – Not an option over DraftKing with the late game’s inclusion Salah should be heavy chalk. He is coming off of 60 and 49.3 FanDuel point games and Liverpool is far and away the largest favorite on the slate.
Alexis Mac Allister – Brighton – $12 – It’s been a disappointing past two games for Mac Allister but he still comes in here at a punt price that can enable you to stack up the other attack spots. Brighton’s pick ’em matchup with Newcastle is the perfect opportunity for him to bounce back.
DraftKings Midfielder
Mason Mount – Chelsea – $9,900 – Back in his old role dominating set pieces, Mount provides us with a solid combination of consistency and upside. Chelsea is the largest favorite on the DraftKings slate and even if they do not light up the scoreboard should control most of the ball here.
DraftKings Defender
Lucas Digne – Aston Villa – $5,700 – He didn’t have his best game against Brighton but at $5,700 offers us a solid floor with his role on set pieces. Reece James should also be popular at $7,900. However, that is a huge price to pay for a defender, particularly considering he may only play 2/3 of the game progressing back from injury.
FanDuel Defender
Tariq Lamptey – Brighton – $8 – Much like for Mac Allister above, Lamptey’s last effort was certainly not his best as the entire Seagulls team had been stifled. However, this is a great price for his offensive upside as compared to most players
DraftKings Goalie
Angus Gunn – Norwich – $4,500 – Not directly related to either of the old Smoking Gunns of wrestling fame, he has taken a chokehold grasp of the job in net in Tim Krul’s absence. After a heroic seven save game “7/9” he should get the start here. The prior start Tim Krul returned midweek and started in FA Cup play. If Krul starts, I think you just go down further to Nick Pope.
FanDuel Goalie
Jose Sa – Wolves – $12 – This is a solid low total matchup for Sa to put up one of the exemplary performances we’ve seen him often put since arriving in England.
EPL Best Bet
Norwich City/Brentford – Under 2.5 – (-155) – DraftKings Sportsbook – This has hit in 5/7 of their last meetings and Norwich has the worst home scoring record. For the Canaries, they will hope their spirited defensive play keeps up as noted above indirectly in regards to Angus Gunn. The presence of Christian Eriksen should help the Bees’ offense. However, they have struggled mightily on the road this season. Most of the books put this around a -165 but we get a slight discount on DraftKings.
