DraftKings English Premier League DFS Lineup Picks for Tuesday’s Action – Our Top 5 Player Picks for Week 24.

Picks by Lewis @EPLDFS

Tuesday 2:45pm ET Kick-Offs

Games:

Southampton at Arsenal

Liverpool at Leicester

Tottenham at Norwich

Man City at Sunderland

Aston Villa at West Ham

Bournemouth at Crystal Palace

Stoke at Man Utd

Swansea at West Brom

Top 5 Picks

GK – Foster ($3,900) made four saves en route to a clean sheet in the 0-0 draw against arch rivals Villa on Saturday. Foster missed the start of the season through injury and is now back in the number 1 position at West Brom. With Swansea up next Foster looks like he will be able to double his clean sheet tally in just as many games against another bottom 3 team.

D- Paulista ($2,400) could be a great option this Tuesday. With Mertesacker getting sent off against Chelsea it will give Paulista the chance to stake his claim in the Arsenal defense. Arsenal have been good at keeping clean sheets this year and Paulista isn’t afraid to shoot from distance. Paulista if he plays is a good cheap option to play in defense.

M – Silva ($5,800) is an unbelievably good price for this weeks match up against low-lying Sunderland. Silva already has 3 goals and 7 assists to his name this season and will get a fantastic opportunity to add to that this Tuesday. Silva runs in between the midfield and defense which will cause Sunderland all kinds of problems and he should link up well with the in form Aguero. Silva for me is a must play at that price and he will certainly be in my team for Tuesday.

F- Aguero ($8,800) pay the money to get this man again this week. He was top of my list last weekend and will certainly be again Tuesday against bottom three Sunderland. Since the turn of the year he has been back in top form. With two goals against West Ham it now takes his league total to 12 goals for the season. Man City are playing with freedom and on the charge to get back to the top of the Premier League with Aguero leading it. Sunderland could be in for a long night on Tuesday.

Cheap Option – Valencia ($5,400) you may say that price isn’t cheap but I feel like it is considering the form he is in at the moment and who he is playing on Tuesday night. Up against bottom of the league Aston Villa Valencia looks good to add to his current goal streak. Valencia bagged 2 goals against Manchester City in the 2-2 draw on Saturday. He has now scored 4 goals in 3 games.

DraftKings English Premier League DFS Lineup Picks for Saturday’s Action – Our Top 5 Player Picks for Week 23.

Picks by Lewis @EPLDFS

Saturday 10:00am ET Kick-Offs

Games:

Tottenham at Crystal Palace

Stoke at Leicester City

Southampton at Manchester United

Bournemouth at Sunderland

Newcastle at Watford

Aston Villa at West Brom

Man City at West Ham

Top 5 Picks

GK – Forster ($3,200) is back in the Southampton XI and his fallen straight back in to where he left off. Forster has returned 10 and 12 points in his last two games back with two clean sheets to his name. Southampton visit Old Trafford this weekend and face a Manchester United team who are very hit and miss in front of goal. Forster could easily be in for another clean sheet and extra points through saves.

D- Targett ($3,000) price has gone up rapidly in a week (from $2,200 to $3,000). He was in the thick of the action again on Saturday after a big game midweek with 1 shot, three crosses, two tackles and three interceptions. Targett is actually being played as a midfielder rather than a defender so is worth paying a little bit extra as he is getting in high scoring positions.

M – Wijnaldum ($5,300) is one of the only bright lights in the Newcastle team at the moment. He is the teams leading goal scorer with 9 goals and 3 assists. Wijnaldum racked up a goal, an assist and four shots in Newcastle’s victory over West Ham on Saturday. Up against Watford this weekend who are struggling to win a game, Wijnaldum will be confident in carrying on his fine form.

F- Aguero ($8,600) pay the money to get this man. Since the turn of the year he has been back in top form. He has already scored 4 goals and has 2 assists in the last 5 matches. Man City are playing with freedom and on the charge to get back to the top of the Premier League with Aguero leading the charge. With West Ham up next Aguero will have plenty of chances to add to his goal-scoring tally.

Cheap Option – Afobe ($4,100) enjoyed a fantastic home debut on Saturday scoring his first Premier League goal in a 3-0 victory. Facing Sunderland this weekend he will be to much for their defense to handle and should rack up the points again this weekend. He also picked up a knock late in Saturdays game, so be sure to check if he is in the Bournemouth starting lineup.

Good Luck in this weekends games. Let us know if you like the look of any other players. Post your thoughts in the comments section below.

DraftKings English Premier League DFS Lineup Picks for Saturday’s Action – Our Top 5 Player Picks for Week 22.

Picks by Lewis @EPLDFS

Saturday 10:00am ET Kick-Offs

Games:

Norwich at Bournemouth

Everton at Chelsea

Crystal Palace at Manchester City

West Ham at Newcastle

West Brom at Southampton

Leicester at Aston Villa

Top 5 Picks

GK – Schmeichel ($3,800) has been in an amazing run of form in the league recently. He has kept three consecutive clean sheets, two of which have come against Tottenham and Manchester City. Schmeichel has kept six clean sheets in the league so far which has helped Leicester to being top of the league level on points with Arsenal. Leicester are up against Aston Villa this Saturday and Schmeichel will look to get his seventh clean sheet of the season with a win against bottom of the league Villa.

D- Targett ($2,200) scored 21 points on Wednesday night with 10 crosses and an assist. Targett was Southampton’s outlet on the wings and got forward at every opportunity. Up against West Brom this Saturday Targett will get more chances to get down the flanks.

M – Payet ($6,700) is back from injury and in the goals straight away for West Ham. Payet curled in a wonderful free kick against Bournemouth during the week. He also got an assist to his name with a perfectly delivered cross for Valencia to score. Payet missed the previous 6 weeks and West Ham will be happy to have the goal scoring and assist man back in their team.

F- Vardy ($7,100) despite not scoring in his last 5 games he has been playing with a groin injury which should now be clear. Vardy is up against bottom of the league Villa and this is a perfect opportunity for him to get back to his scoring form he was in earlier on in the season. He is still joint top goal scorer in the Premier League and has a great opportunity to add to this on Saturday.

Cheap Option – Odjidja-Ofoe ($2,700) was our cheap option during the week and he rewarded us with a solid game and an assist. Odjidja-Ofoe has finally broke into the Norwich team and looks good to keep his spot in the starting 11. He is strong and skillful and watch his price climb over the next few weeks. Away at Bournemouth Odjidja-Ofoe will be the focal point of Norwich’s attack.

DraftKings English Premier League DFS Lineup Picks for Wednesday’s Action – Our Top 5 Player Picks for Week 21.

Picks by Lewis @EPLDFS

Wednesday 2:45pm ET Kick-Offs

Games:

West Brom at Chelsea

Everton at Manchester City

Watford at Southampton

Norwich at Stoke

Sunderland at Swansea

Arsenal at Liverpool

Leicester at Tottenham

Top 5 Picks

GK – Fabianski ($4,200) Swansea are just above the drop zone and desperately need the 3 points in their game against bottom 3 Sunderland. Swansea are starting to put in better defensive performances and that is why I have gone for Fabianski rather than Pantilimon.

D- Martina ($2,900) has started the last 3 Premier League games for Southampton with an average score of 12 points per game. At $2,900 he is bargain for the amount of times he joins in the attack. Southampton have had a strange season so far but at home against Watford it will be hard to find a better option than Martina.

M – Willian ($7,500) from the first time I spoke about Willian his price has gone up dramatically. However he is worth every penny. Willian averages 16 fantasy football points per game. He takes all of Chelsea’s set pieces and loves to have a shot. Up against West Brom at home Willian is my banker this week to score big again.

F- Costa ($6,500) every time I write about this man he has a poor game but hopefully that curse has been lifted now he is playing under a new manager. Costa seems to be getting back to where he was at last season; being a handful to defenders and scoring goals rather than fighting with defenders and not scoring. At home against West Brom Costa will be looking to keep his goal scoring streak going.

Cheap Option – Odjidja-Ofoe ($2,500) is a great cheap option. Odjidja-Ofoe has finally broke into the Norwich team and has been given Man of the Match in the previous 2 games. He plays just behind the attacker and got an assist in his last time out. He is strong and skillful and watch his price climb over the next few weeks.

Good Luck in this weekends games. Let us know if you like the look of any other players. Post your thoughts in the comments section below.
