Match Odds

Watford (+370) at Wolverhampton (-120)
3/10 EPL Top Plays
DraftKings Forward
Raphinha – Leeds United – $8,700 – Raphinha’s role on set pieces and customary floor make him an ideal starting spot. Leeds has shown better overall form as of late and hosts Aston Villa in a pick-em game. The defensive side of the ball has been the weaker half for Villa recently, providing us a decent matchup.
FanDuel Forward/Midfielders
Ryan Fraser – Newcastle – $13 – More on Fraser below under DraftKings Defender but his price is very low on FanDuel where he is attack eligible. He is coming off two straight 35 point games in the FanDuel scoring format with no price bump.
James Ward-Prowse – Southampton – $18 – Unlike on DraftKings where is approaching $9,800 we get JWP at an affordable price on FanDuel. While his role on set pieces doesn’t translate over as well in the scoring system, he compensates with defensive statistics.
DraftKings Midfielder
Mason Mount – Chelsea – $9,000 – I think despite a dud last game, it’s fair to hop back on the Mount wagon. His price has dipped $900 from last game against Burnley, despite the juicer matchup here. If Hakim Ziyech ends up getting the start instead, I would highly consider him as well. Ziyech has been straight fire as of late. James Ward-Prowse “$9,800” is perhaps the case game option with a higher floor/lower ceiling than what you might get from the Chelsea midfielder eligible attackers.
DraftKings Defender
Ryan Fraser – Newcastle – $6,700 – Ryan Fraser has been absolutely balling as of late. He is a bit cheaper price-wise than the Chelsea defenders. Perhaps the matchup isn’t as sweet, but with a role on set pieces in Kieran Tripper’s absence, Fraser gives us floor plus upside.
FanDuel Defender
Cesar Azpiliueta- Chelsea – $11 – Cesar gives us some cheap Chelsea exposure in a game where Reece James is expected to miss.
DraftKings Goalie
Martin Dubravka – Newcastle – $4,300 – The third cheapest goalie on the slate for just a few hundred more, we can avoid really punting. This is a slate where unless paying up for a possible clean sheet but low shot volume with Edouard Mendy “$5,900”, there is little to spend on.
FanDuel Goalie
Eduoard Mendy – Chelsea – $14 – With the clean sheet and win so important on FanDuel over here I think you just pay up for Mendy, as opposed to on DraftKings.
EPL Best Bets
Southampton/Newcastle- Over 2.5 (-125), Wolves/Watford – Both Teams to Score-No and Under 2.5 (+100) – DraftKings Sportsbook
