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.

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.
