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.
