Saturday 5/15 EPL DFS

This article focuses on 5/15 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 5/15 EPL Slate and DFS Gameplan

Welcome back as we have a pair of games from Matchweek 36/38.

There is a bit of a time gap as the first game, Fulham at Southampton, starts at 10 a.m. ET and the second, West Ham and Brighton, 3 p.m. ET due to the FA Cup Semifinal.

Unfortunately, as a result, DraftKings decided to turn both of the matches into Showdowns rather than run out a classic slate. Therefore, I will be playing more on FanDuel for a change.

EPL Best Odds

*Pascal Gros to Score* (+375) – “DraftKings Sportsbook”

The Betting Game Plan

Pascal is more of an assist man but his role as the penalty kick taker provides him access to some easy goals on occasion. Given the very low +375 odds, it’s worth a small stab.
