EPL DFS

This article focuses on 1/30 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 1/30 EPL Slate and DFS Gameplan

Let’s get ready for another EPL Saturday slate! DraftKings has a smaller slate with only the first three games beginning at 10am ET. FanDuel is also including the two games to follow.

Wolves (+160) at Crystal Palace (+195) – As the goal odds below indicate, this game should be brutal from an offensive perspective. Not a bad place to try to snatch a goalie or grab both and hedge across multiple lineups.

Sheffield United (+2000) at Manchester City (-830) – The clear chalk on both sites. Their ginger leader, Kevin De Bruyne, remains out for City. Meanwhile, this team’s attackers remain underpriced on Draftkings. They get to help fill his void in another plus matchup. However, this lineup shakes out will basically dictate the slate. Fortunately, their game is early.

Fulham (+128) at West Brom (+240) – Another blah game but West Brom is awful and Fulham has been adequate. On the DraftKings slate, Fulham is the second best team to draw from, as sad as that sounds.

Manchester United (+145) at Arsenal (+188) (FanDuel Only) – Coming off a very disappointing loss to ol’ Sheffield United, the Red Devils will look to rebound against Arsenal. This should be a decent game all-around, although United should be able to bounce back.

Aston Villa (+138) at Southampton (+180) (FanDuel Only) – This game will likely get overlooked on the five game FanDuel slate. However, there are certainly some decent contrarian pieces we can use in tournaments.

Notable Goal Scoring Odds

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.

Wolves at Crystal Palace – Wilfried Zaha (+250), Patrick Cutrone (+270), Jean-Philippe Mateta (+295), Willian Jose (+300), Pedro Neto (+310), Fabio Silva (+310), Michy Batshuayi (+310), Daniel Podence (+340), Christian Benteke (+340)

Sheffield United at Manchester City – Raheem Sterling (+112), Gabriel Jesus (+120), Phil Foden (+130), Ilkay Gündogan (+140), Riyad Mahrez (+140), Ferran Torres (+145), Bernardo Silva (+215)

Fulham at West Brom – Aleksandar Mitrović (+160), Aboubakar Kamara (+235), Ivan Cavaleiro (+235), Ademola Lookman (+250), Bobby DeCordova-Reid (+280), Karlan Grant (+300)

Manchester United at Arsenal (FanDuel only) – Alexandre Lacazette (+163), Bruno Fernandes (+180), Edison Cavani (+190), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (+210), Marcus Rashford (+220), Anthony Martial (+245), Eddie Nkietah (+245), Gabriel Martinelli (+270), Mason Greenwood (+290), Bukayo Saka (+320), Nicolas Pepe (+320)

Aston Villa at Southampton (FanDuel only) – Danny Ings (+132), Ollie Watkins (+170), Anwar El-Ghazi (+205), Che Adams (+255), Jack Grealish (+310), Bertrand Traore (+310)

EPL Best Odds

*Bukayo Saka to Score* (+320) – 0.35 Units – “DraftKings Sportsbook”

DraftKings | FanDuel

The Betting Game Plan

This same bet hit last time out, making it four of his last six with a goal for Saka. As a result, the odds got even higher by +10. Manchester United is a tougher matchup than Everton, but still. Whoever is putting these odds together must hate Saka or maybe just isn’t paying any attention.

This article focuses on 1/26 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.

Tuesday 1/26 EPL Slate and DFS Gameplan

Let’s get ready for a four game Tuesday slate!

West Ham (+133) at Crystal Palace (+215) – One of the first two early games, this one should be a tactical affair from the start. Expect a West Ham side that plays better together than Palace to walk away with the win in a low scoring affair.

Leeds United (-115) at Newcastle (+300) – Patrick Bamford has really high goal scoring odds in this one for the striker on a -115 favorite. However, Las Vegas thinks Leeds has too much class in this one.

Arsenal (+120) at Southampton (+240) – Bukayo Saka has been on fire but we will have to see how the rest of the Arsenal lineup shakes out. Meanwhile, on the other side Danny Ings looks to lead Southampton to play the role of dark horse here.

Manchester City (-560) at West Brom (+1500) – Man City is a huge favorite against lowly West Brom. However, they will be missing their main playmaker, set piece taker, and penalty kick taker Kevin De Bruyne for 4-6 weeks. This should result in a huge boost for Phil Foden who should gain more set pieces and I would expect Ilkay Gundogan to be the penalty kick taker.

Notable Goal Scoring Odds

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 Ham at Crystal Palace –  Michail Antonio (+175), Wilfried Zaha (+235), Oladapo Afolayan (+260), Ademipo Odubeko (+260), Christian Benteke (+265), Tomas Soucek (+290), Jordan Ayew (+290), Jarrod Bowen (+310), Andriy Yarmolenko (+310), Mohamed Said Benrahma (+370)

Leeds United at Newcastle – Patrick Bamford (+106), Callum Wilson (+165), Sam Greenwood (+205), Rodrigo (+230), Dwight Gayle (+245), Pablo Hernandez (+265), Andy Carroll (+295), Raphinha (+300), Jack Harrison (+360), Allan Saint-Maximin (+410)

Arsenal at Southampton – Alexandre Lacazette (+150), Danny Ings (+175), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (+188), Gabriel Martinelli (+245), Eddie Nketiah (+245), Che Adams (+300), Bukayo Saka (+310), Theo Walcott (+550)

Manchester City at West Brom – Raheem Sterling (+120), Phil Foden (+130), Gabriel Jesus (+130), Riyad Mahrez (+140), Ilkay Gündogan (+163), Ferran Torres (+165), Bernardo Silva (+255)

EPL Best Odds

* Bukayo Saka to Score* (+310) – 0.35 Units – “DraftKings Sportsbook”

DraftKings | FanDuel

The Betting Game Plan

It’s crazy that Saka has nearly half the goal scoring odds of other Arsenal attackers. The current odds do not seem to take in Saka’s recent goal scoring form at all. To date, he has scored in three of his last five games, with consecutive shots on goal in three straight.

Tuesday 1/19 EPL Slate and DFS Gameplan

There is very little EPL ahead this weekend “only one game as otherwise all FA Cup”. However, we have a pair of midweek two games slate both Tuesday and Wednesday.

West Brom (+480) at West Ham (-165) – See below under Best Odds

Chelsea (+132) at Leicester City (+200) – Both teams are coming off 1-0 wins over inferior opponents, albeit not very convincing victories. Chelsea had come into this season with very high aspirations after a ton of spending. However, a combination of injuries and a struggle to coherently mesh all the pieces has led to an underwhelming performance as of late. They are still favored here on the road against a feisty Leicester side.

Notable Goal Scoring Odds

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.

Burnley at West Ham –  Michail Antonio (+118), Jarrod Bowen (+210), Tomas Soucek (+200), Andriy Yarmolenko (+210), Mohamed Said Benrahma (+260)

Chelsea at Leicester City – Jamie Vardy (+125), Olivier Giroud (+160), Tammy Abraham (+175), Kelechi Iheanacho (+190), Timo Werner (+200), Christian Pulisic (+280), Harvey Barnes (+325), Hakim Ziyech (+370), Kai Havertz (+370), Ayoze Perez (+370), James Maddison (+390), Cengiz Under (+390), Mason Mount (+510)

EPL Best Odds

* West Ham ML (-162) – 1.25 Units – “DraftKings Sportsbook”

DraftKings | FanDuel

The Betting Game Plan

Normally, I wouldn’t necessarily be so high on West Ham. Nonetheless, the Hammers took care of business against a subpar Burnley side last time out. This time out, they get to host an even worse side in West Brom.

There is not much good to be said about the Baggies. At least the Hammer’s previous opponent, Burnley, can hunker down and play some defense. West Ham should be able to show they are a real “albeit, mediocre” EPL team and grab the W against hapless West Brom and extend their win streak.

Saturday 1/16 EPL Slate and DFS Gameplan

Let’s get ready for EPL Matchweek 19/38! Both sites will be featuring the entire four game slate, beginning with a pair of games at 10am ET.

Brighton (+245) at Leeds United (+106) – The Seagulls have been experimenting with their lineups as of late. However, I expect them to go back to a more standard setup against Leeds United. It has been an impressive first half of the season for Leeds, easily the best of the three promoted teams. Their work ethic and commitment to scoring should serve them well here. Raphinha seems very affordable on both sites and Patrick Bamford has the second highest goal scoring odds on the slate.

Burnley (+390) at West Ham (-129) – The one thing Burnley does well is sit back and play defense. I expect this to be a very tactical, low scoring match with nod to West Ham.

Chelsea (-200) at Fulham (+600) – Chelsea is a huge road favorite here but Fulham has been in extremely strong form. Logic tells you that Chelsea should be able to take care of business but they have been underwhelming as of late.

Southampton (+390) at Leicester City (-134) – Leicester is probably my favorite team on the slate as they are very ease to parse out. You have James Maddison taking all the set pieces and Jamie Vardy, the most likely to score. Vardy has the highest goal scoring odds on the slate.

Notable Goal Scoring Odds

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.

Brighton at Leeds United – Patrick Bamford (+110), Neal Maupay (+165), Rodrigo (+240), Pablo Hernandez (+275), Andi Zeqiri (+275), Tyler Roberts (+275), Raphinha (+295), Jack Harrison (+370)

Burnley at West Ham –  Michail Antonio (+135), Jarrod Bowen (+225), Chris Wood (+225), Mohamed Said Benrahma (+240), Tomas Soucek (+240), Andriy Yarmolenko (+240), Ashley Barnes (+300)

Chelsea at Fulham – Olivier Giroud (+107), Tammy Abraham (+118), Timo Werner (+125), Christian Pulisic (+175), Aleksandar Mitrović (+245), Hakim Ziyech (+265), Kai Havertz (+265), Mason Mount (+380)

The Betting Game Plan

This is a nasty little EPL slate so let’s go a bit lighter than usual unit wise but take a bigger swing. Chelsea is not giving us much juice at -200 and while they have been struggling lately, Fulham has been playing well. Therefore, let’s pair Leeds United facing a woeful Brighton side and Leicester City hosting Danny Ings less Southampton.

This article focuses on 1/12 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.

Tuesday 1/12 EPL Slate and DFS Gameplan

Let’s get ready for EPL Matchweek 18/38! FanDuel is running their slate with all three games beginning at 1pm ET, whereas DraftKings is unfortunately, only featuring the final two.

Newcastle (+205) at Sheffield United (+148) – Surprisingly, Sheffield United is favored in the early FanDuel only game. You can play a goalie but otherwise there is not a whole lot here to like. It certainly makes for a sleepy start to EPL’s return.

Manchester United (-220) at Burnley (+600) – More on this game below under EPL Best Odds.

Everton (+205) at Wolves (+145) – Wolves are favored but come into this winless over their last four matches. However, Everton have only been marginally better. James Rodriguez should have his sea legs back, following a lengthy injury. However, Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been ruled out. As a result, this should be a tighter affair that the other late game.

Notable Goal Scoring Odds

The Betting Game Plan

The odds here are not that juicy compared to the seven piece parlays the people want. However, it also seems safe, as it would be extremely disappointing for Manchester United to squander their league position while away at Burnley. This is the type of game that any real contender for the English Premier League title should find a way to win handily.

Bruno Fernandes will probably be the most popular play on this slate. Edinson Cavani has already been ruled out in advance. Therefore, the trio of Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood, should feature. With United the slate’s biggest favorite they should be the highest owned attacking options outside of Bruno and James Rodriguez.
