DraftKings English Premier League DFS Lineup Picks for Saturday’s Action – Our Top 5 Player Picks for Week 10.

Picks by Lewis @EPLDFS

Saturday 10:00am ET Kick-Offs

Games:
Crystal Palace V West Ham
Liverpool V Huddersfield
Watford V Stoke
West Brom V Manchester City
Bournemouth V Chelsea(Late Kick-Off)


Top 5 Picks

GK – Cech  ($5,700) was rested in Arsenal's mid week cup game against Norwich but gained 3  fantasy points last Saturday in Arsenal’s 5-2 victory over Everton. Arsenal host Swansea this weekend who have only scored six so far this season. However, Swansea have the lowest shot amount in the Premier League so far this season. Cech is a fine cash play this week with him expecting to gain a clean sheet and Arsenal to win but don't expect many saves.


D- Cresswell ($4,900) was on the bench in last weeks game against Brighton but he is fully expected to be starting this weekend in a must win game for both teams. Bilic, West Ham’s manager has been given two games to save his job so will want his best starting 11 out on Saturday. West Ham overcome a 2-0 deficit to win 3-2 in an extraordinary turn around in their mid week cup game against Tottenham. This will give them a lot of confidence going into their next game against Crystal Palace. Cresswell is top of the charts for crossing with 70 crosses to his name already this season.  This week he seems to be a very low price and I expect Cresswell to be owned heavily, if he isn’t you will be laughing when he is racking up the points.


M – Hazard ($8,800) is starting to find some form and this week could be a big points week against a Bournemouth side who have the second most losses in the Premier League with six. Hazard tallied an assist with a great ball over to Pedro in last weeks win against Watford. Hazard hasn’t scored yet this season but this weekend could see him get off the mark. At $8,800 this will probably be one of the lowest prices you will see Hazard all Premier League season.


F- Sanchez ($10,500) is a daily fantasy soccer players dream. He scores, assists, shoots (a lot) and crosses the ball as he is on most of Arsenal set pieces. In his last four games for club and country he has scored 33 points, 17 points, 23 points and 21 points which is some return. Last weekend he scored, assisted Mesut Ozil and had a total of 7 shots with 3 on target. This Saturday, Sanchez has a home game against Swansea who have conceded 10 in 9 games. I can see Sanchez running riot this game week with another big points score as he is vital to Arsenal's attacking play.


Cheap Option – Cabaye ($4,500) is this weeks cheap option which was tough to pick this week. With his Crystal Palace team struggling in the Premier League his points tally hasn’t been great so far this season. In his last home game against the Premier League Champion he scored 9 points which is a great return for his price tag. This Saturday Palace play equally struggling West Ham. Cabaye is on a lot of Crystal Palace set pieces and I expect him to have a few chances to deliver the ball this weekend.


Last Weeks Top 5 Player Picks and Points

DraftKings English Premier League DFS Lineup Picks for Saturday’s Action – Our Top 5 Player Picks for Week 9.

Picks by Lewis @EPLDFS

Saturday 10:00am ET Kick-Offs

Games:
Manchester City V Burnley
Newcastle V Crystal Palace
Stoke V Bournemouth
Swansea V Leicester
Southampton V West Brom (Late Kick-Off)


Top 5 Picks

GK – De Gea ($5,800) made five saves in last weekends 0-0 draw at Liverpool. He now has 7 clean sheets to his name this season, only conceded 2 goals all season. This week Man Utd face Huddersfield away where they will be heavily backed favorites to win convincingly. Huddersfield aren’t shy at having a go at teams so I expect DeGea will have a few saves to make this weekend.


D- Young ($4,900) has moved into the wingback position for Man Utd and recorded his highest number of crosses in a match this season against Liverpool. This week Young faces Huddersfield and will have the chance to push higher up the field a lot in a game where Man Utd will create a lot of chances. This is a cheap price for a Man Utd wing back defender considering Blind is $6,000 although he is on Man Utd corners. Young used to play as an attacking winger and isn’t afraid to get forward and take a shot.


M – Zaha ($6,300) is back and boy did Crystal Palace miss him. Palace are coming off their first victory and goal of the season against Chelsea. No one gave them a chance to win that game, myself included.  Zaha scored his first goal of the season and is playing without fear after scoring 17 points last weekend. This week Crystal Palace will face Newcastle in a game where the 3 points will be vital for both teams. I expect Zaha to have another big game. I also expect his price to rise dramatically over the next couple of game weeks.


F- Vardy ($6,900) going against the norm this weekend. Of course you could pick some of the big name strikers but I just feel like Vardy could sneak a few points this week away at Swansea. As I am writing this Leicester sacked their manager Craig Shakespeare. Usually after a sacking the team raises their game the following week. Up against Swansea this weekend I think Vardy will have too much pace for their backline and will get his name on the score sheet. He hasn’t scored in his last 2 games but I expect him to have plenty of chances to finish that streak this weekend.


Cheap Option – Delph ($4,700) has been playing as a left back for Manchester City since Mendy’s injury instead of his usual Centre Midfield where he struggles to get a game for Man City.  Delphs new position has seen his price rise over the weeks and I expect him to be highly owned this week as he is now listed as a defender. Last week he scored 12 points in Man Citys 7-2 win over Stoke with an assist, a shot, a shot on goal and a couple of tackles one to his name.

Last Weeks Top 5 Player Picks and Points

Week 8 – 23.75 Points

DraftKings English Premier League DFS Lineup Picks for Saturday’s Action – Our Top 5 Player Picks for Week 8.

Picks by Lewis @EPLDFS

Saturday 10:00am ET Kick-Offs

Games:
Crystal Palace V Chelsea
Manchester City V Stoke City
Swansea V Huddersfield
Tottenham V Bournemouth
Watford V Arsenal (Late Kick-Off)


Top 5 Picks

GK – Courtois ($5,700) made four saves and conceded a goal in his last Premier League game against Manchester City. This weekend Chelsea face bottom of the League Crystal Palace who haven’t scored a single goal in their first 7 League games of the season. Courtois has conceded 6 goals in 7 games, but I do not expect him to concede against Crystal Palace. Courtois is a safe cash play this weekend especially at the price he is.


D- Bellerin ($4,700) has been playing as a right wing back for Arsenal in his last few appearances which allows him to get much further up the pitch. In his last Premier League game he had 1 shot and delivered 2 crosses.  Arsenal like to play free flowing football and are actually the lowest crossing team in the Premier League at the moment. Arsenal have however kept four clean sheets in a row which I expect them to maintain this weekend at Watford.


M – Hazard ($9,600) is coming off two good performances for his nation Belgium where he scored 2 against Cyprus on Tuesday night. I feel like this is one of the best buys of the week, Hazard plays bottom of the league Crystal Palace this weekend who look like they are in a lot of trouble. I am expecting Hazard and co. to cut them open with their fluent attack. Hazard is now coming back to full fitness after some time out with an injury but I expect him to cause Crystal Palace a lot of problems this weekend.


F- Kane ($11,500) just can’t be left out at the moment. Kane has scored 6 goals so far this season and scored twice for England whilst away on International break. Kane has also had 44 shots in 7 games which is 13 more than any other player in the League. With Kane you are guaranteed points. This week his Tottenham side faces Bournemouth and I am expecting Kane to be on the score sheet again.


Cheap Option – Ince ($4,900) has been playing well for Huddersfield so far this season averaging 7 points per game. This week his team faces Swansea away which is a big opportunity for them to get another 3 points on the board. Ince's price has also dropped this week after only collecting 3 points last weekend against a very tough Tottenham side. I am expecting him to bounce back and get at least 7 points this week.

Holebas – 16.5 Points
