Wednesday 3/3 EPL DFS

143

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

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.
