This article focuses on 3/3 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.
Wednesday 3/3 EPL Slate and DFS Gameplan
Let’s get ready for what for most teams will be Matchweek 27/38 as the midweek matches for the season begin to wind down. DraftKings is running an early slate, consisting of solely the first two games. Since we can basically scratch-off Sheffield United, there are only three teams to choose players from. Both James Maddison and Jack Grealish will be out, leaving big shoes to fill.
The FanDuel slate also includes the Manchester United game afterward, providing us a few more options. All three of the matchups feature decent, albeit not great teams against very poor teams.
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.
Leicester City (+105) at Burnley (+300) – Jamie Vardy (+123), Kelechi Iheanacho ( +200), Chris Wood (+250), Jay Rodriguez (+320), Matej Vydra (+325), Cengiz Under (+350)
Aston Villa (+106) at Sheffield United (+260) – Ollie Watkins (+175), Keinan Davis (+240), Anwar El Ghazi (+270), David McGoldrick (+295), Oliver McBurnie (+295), Billy Sharp (+295), Rhian Brewster (+295), Lys Mousset (+295), Bertrand Traore (+330), Ross Barkley (+340), Trezeguet (+360)
“FanDuel Only – Late Game”
Manchester United (-250) at Crystal Palace (+700) – Bruno Fernandes (+120), Edinson Cavani (+128), Marcus Rashford (+180), Anthony Martial (+180), Mason Greenwood (+220), Amad Diallo (+270), Daniel James (+280)
EPL Best Odds
*Marcus Rashford to Score* (+180) – 0.25 Units – “DraftKings Sportsbook”
The Betting Game Plan
He hasn’t been the goal scorer in the EPL this season that he was in the Champion’s League prior to United’s elimination. However, these are nice odds for Rashy in a game where United is a -250 favorite.
