EPL DFS Forwards to Consider
Harry Kane - F, TOT vs EVE (DK - $12,000, FD - $12,000)
For good reason, Harry Kane is the most expensive player in the slate. The Tottenham forward is the top goal-scorer in the Premier League this season with 18 goals and has an intriguing matchup against a spotty Everton defense. Even though Kane is a rather obvious option and one that will take up a massive portion of your salary cap, he should still be in most of your lineups as the forward is on a red-hot streak of form and, if he scores, will likely help teams move ahead of those who opted not to go with Kane as their attacking option.
Dwight Gayle - F, NEW vs SWA (DK - $5,900, FD - $9,000)
This is definitely a DraftKings play more than one for FanDuel, as the price disparity is just over $3,000 between the two sites. Gayle has scored just three goals so far this season but looks to be the favored striker at Newcastle, making him a good option in most DFS formats. Furthermore, with an intriguing matchup against bottom-of-the-table Swansea this weekend, Gayle could add to his goal tally in this upcoming game.
EPL DFS Midfielders to Consider
Marc Albrighton - M, LEI vs CHE (DK - $6,200, FD - $6,000)
Despite having a tough matchup on paper against title contenders Chelsea, Leicester's midfield could provide some decent results in what could end up being a high scoring game. Marc Albrighton comes in at a bargain price for both DraftKings and FanDuel and has been a force for Leicester this season, playing alongside Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez. Consider Albrighton if you need a cheaper option who could offer good upside this week as a contrarian play.
Son Heung-Min - M, TOT vs EVE (DK - $9,000, FD - $9,000)
With a price of $9,000 on both DraftKings and FanDuel, Son Heung-Min is an expensive but interesting option at the position with an intriguing matchup against Everton. With seven goals in the league this season, the South Korean midfielder is a high-risk high-reward option as he is just as likely to be subbed after 60 minutes as he is to score twice in the space of a few minutes in the game. Consider Son Heung-Min as a potential slate winner; just note that there are safer options at the position.
EPL DFS Defenders to Consider
James Tarkowski - D, BUR vs CRY (DK - $3,200, FD - $6,500)
Tarkowski has placed a massive role in Burnley's defense this year, contributing to several clean sheets with his performances. Tarkowski is a lock to play the full ninety and has a safe floor given that he is the first defender on the team sheet for the club. Anyone along the Burnley back line warrants a look as their defense has been one of the revelations of the season.
Arthur Masuaku - D, WHU vs HUD (DK - $4,800, FD - $5,500)
Despite being listed as a defender on both FanDuel and DraftKings, Masuaku has played as a winger for the majority of the season, making him a valuable option in a position that is not known for producing goals or assists that often. Masuaku still has yet to get on the score sheet for West Ham United, but has a decent chance against a less-than-stellar Huddersfield defense that could be exploited by his pace down the flanks.
EPL DFS Goalies to Consider
Hugo Lloris - G, TOT vs EVE (DK - $6,000, FD - $4,500)
A real steal on FanDuel, Lloris has one of the easiest games in the slate against Everton in a game where Tottenham should look to have the majority of the chances and possession. Lloris is a world class goalkeeper; consider rostering him in most DFS formats as he has a decent chance of keeping a clean sheet in an otherwise murky seven-game slate.
