DraftKings English Premier League DFS Lineup Picks for Saturday’s Action – Our Top 5 Player Picks for Week 7.

Picks by Lewis @EPLDFS

Saturday 10:00am ET Kick-Offs

Games:
Man Utd V Crystal Palace
Stoke City V Southampton
West Brom V Watford
West Ham V Swansea
Chelsea V Man City (Late Kick-Off)


Top 5 Picks

GK – Hart ($5,300) has had a mixture of fortunes at the start of this season with his new side West Ham struggling for results. This weekend see’s a home game to Swansea. This is a must win game for West Ham in the grand scheme of things. Hart made two saves and conceded three goals to Tottenham last weekend but this weekends side Swansea will be much lower than Tottenham at the end of the season. Before Saturdays game against Tottenham Hart had back to back clean sheets and I expect him to get another one this weekend.


D- Holebas ($5,200) has been the corner and free kick taker for Watford at the start of this season and will be looking to deliver again this weekend away at West Brom. Holebas has scored 36 points in his last four Premier League games. This weekend’s match up against West Brom will be a closely fought  game but I expect Holebas to have plenty of chances to deliver a cross/free kick in dangerous areas.


M – Mkhitaryan ($8,600) has delivered 13 crosses in his last two League games and scored the 4th goal before being substituted in the 60th minute in Man Utds 4-1 in Moscow on Wednesday night. Saturday Man Utd face the Crystal Palace side who conceded 5 to Man City last weekend and 13 goals in their first 6 Premier League games without scoring a goal. Mkhitaryan has settled in the Premier League this season and he is one of the first names down for this weeks slate.


F- Lukaku ($11,300) is this weeks obvious choice. Lukaku has 9 goals in 720 mins of play averaging a goal every 80 mins. Up against bottom of the League Crystal Palace this weekend he should be on the score sheet again. Linking him up with Mkhitaryan could mean big points this weekend if they go off like they are predicted too.


Cheap Option – Ibe ($4,300) price is starting to rise as he is getting more involved each week. Ibe joined Bournemouth in 2016 for a club record fee of 15 million pounds from Liverpool and has found it hard to kick on his career. Ibe is now playing a lot more for Bournemouth and is a very good winger on his day. Linking that with taking some of Bournemouth’s set pieces he has a great floor at this price.


Last Weeks Top 5 Player Picks and Points

Here is last weekends top 5 player picks points which scored 53 points overall.

De Gea – 16 Points

Baines – 5 Points

Sigurdsson – 7 Points

Aguero – 24 Points

DraftKings English Premier League DFS Lineup Picks for Saturday’s Action – Our Top 5 Player Picks for Week 6.

Picks by Lewis @EPLDFS

Saturday 10:00am ET Kick-Offs

Games:
Everton V Bournemouth
Manchester City V Crystal Palace
Southampton V Man Utd
Stoke V Chelsea
Swansea V Watford
Leicester V Liverpool (Late Kick-Off)


Top 5 Picks

GK – DeGea ($5,400) has started the season on fire this year. DeGea now has 4 clean sheets and 4 win bonuses in his first 5 games of the season. He made three saves last Sunday against Everton on the way to a 4-0 win for Man United. Up against Southampton this week who have only scored 4 goals this season, 3 of which came in one game against West Ham I expect DeGea to get a good points tally. Southampton being at home will have chances but I think DeGea and United’s defense will be to much for them.


D- Baines ($5,300) Everton have had a faltering start to the season which I expect them to turn around because of the amount of money they spent in the summer transfer window. Baines has been playing more of a left-winger with Everton playing 3 at the back. This week I expect them to get back to winning ways up against a Bournemouth side who are also struggling to get their season going. Baines will continue to deliver crosses and create chances for Everton and I expect him to have a lot of opportunities to do this this weekend.


M – Sigurdsson ($8,400) sent in 5 crosses against Man United last week in his teams 4-0 defeat. This week should see a much different test in Bournemouth. Bournemouth are one of the highest teams in allowed crosses this season so far in the league and I expect Sigurdsson to capitalize on that. Sigurdsson is one of the best crossers of the ball in the league and I am expecting him to create a lot of chances this weekend.


F- Aguero ($11,000) another big price tag for this weeks forward but its hard to leave Aguero out after last weeks display. Aguero scored a massive 49.8 points last week against Watford. Aguero scored a hat trick from eight shots attempted and also added an assist. This weekend he plays against bottom of the league Crystal Palace who have conceded 8 goals in 5 games and haven’t scored a goal in the League. This could be a massive score line if Palace play the way have been all season.  This week could be another massive points score for Aguero.


Cheap Option – Sanchez ($3,300) I was expecting Sanches to come into the Premier League and get off to a flyer but he has shown massive signs of rustiness. This week could be his week, up against Watford who conceded 6 last week at home to Man City. Sanches loves running at defenders and creating chances which will hopefully come against Watford this weekend.



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 5.

Picks by Lewis @EPLDFS

Saturday 10:00am ET Kick-Offs

Games:
Liverpool V Burnley
Newcastle V Stoke
Watford V Man City
West Brom V West Ham
Tottenham V Swansea (Late Kick-Off)

Top 5 Picks

GK – Schmeichel ($4,800) was up against it last weekend making 3 saves and conceding twice against Chelsea. This week he faces Huddersfield away who have been playing very well of late. I think Schmeichel is a great play at this price. Huddersfield create a lot of opportunities and are not afraid to have a shot so I expect Schmeichel to have saves to make whilst I also expect Leicester to come out with the win.


D- Robertson ($5,600) or Moreno ($5,000) which ever one of these two starts at left back for Liverpool I will have in my team.  Robertson had a great game out against Palace where he had 2 shots 1 of which was on goal and delivered 10 crosses.  Moreno who had a shocker of a season last year is back in favor at Liverpool at the moment. During the midweek Champions League game he assisted a goal and played most of the night high up the pitch. Whichever one of these two who play at the weekend will certainly be getting forward at every opportunity.


M – Salah ($8,800) has been one of the standout players of the season so far in the Premier League. His pace is frightening and tearing up many Premier League defenses. With Mane out through suspension, Salah is expected to take a much bigger role, which could lead to him taking more set pieces and more chances going through him.  Liverpool have a favorable match up against Burnley on Saturday.


F- Kane ($11,000) this man is the first name on my lineup this week. Despite the hefty price tag it is hard to leave him out. After a very poor start to the season Kane has now hit top form. In his last four games for club and country Kane has scored 6 goals in 4 matches. After scoring 2 in Wednesday night’s game against Dortmund I fully expect him to be on the score sheet against Swansea.


Cheap Option – Shelvey ($4,200) there really isn’t many bargain options this game week.  After letting his side down by getting sent off in his last game he will have a point to prove. Shelvey takes a majority of the Newcastle set pieces which will give him another chance to get reasonable points at this price.


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 4.

Picks by Lewis @EPLDFS

Saturday 10:00am ET Kick-Offs

Games:
Brighton V West Brom
Everton V Tottenham
Leicester V Chelsea
Southampton V Watford
Stoke V Man Utd (Late Kick-Off)


Top 5 Picks

GK – De Gea ($6,000) has kept 3 clean sheets in 3 games so far this season as Man Utd have started the season extremely well. De Gea has scored 42 points in his first three games averaging 14 points a game. Even though De Gea is the top priced goalkeeper it is hard to leave him out of your team with point returns like that. Up against Stoke this week you fancy him earning the win and clean sheet bonus as well as making a couple of saves.


D- Bellerin ($4,800) had a tough last game week losing 4-0 to Liverpool but I’m expecting Arsenal to react against Bournemouth this weekend. Bellerin loves to get forward and deliver crosses putting 2 in, in last weekends fixture.  Bellerin plays as a wing back which gives him opportunities to get forward and I am expecting him to score his biggest total of the season this game week.


M – Tadic ($7,800) whenever you see that Southampton have scored Tadic is usually involved. Tadic is Southampton’s Free Kick, Corner kick and Penalty taker which always sees him in the points. At home against Watford this week you can expect him to be in the points again.  Although Watford haven’t conceded in their last 2 games Southampton are a strong side at home and you expect them to get on the score sheet.


F- Sanchez ($9,200) finally has his future sorted and is staying at Arsenal until January at least despite a last minute bid from Manchester City. Sanchez had a poor first game back against Liverpool and was substituted after 62 minutes. After 2 weeks back at training and away with his national side Chile, Sanchez should be over his injury and looking to get a positive result for Arsenal. This week for Chile he scored 17 points with 13 crosses and looked back to reasonable form. Hopefully he will produce against Bournemouth this weekend.


Cheap Option – Rodriguez ($4,800) got back to scoring ways in the last game week scoring a goal from two shots against Stoke City. This week he is up again bottom of the League Brighton. Rodriguez missed a lot of last season with injury and it is good to see him back playing again in a new look West Brom side. I think West Brom will be too much for Brighton and I expect to see Rodriguez on the score sheet again.
