Premier League DFS Goalkeeper Picks For DraftKings

Top Pick - Joe Hart – Manchester City - $4,100

Hart is back at training and is projected to retake the number one keeper position back from Willy Caballero. Hart and the Sky Blues will visit Britannia Stadium on Saturday to take on a Stoke side that has only scored 11 goals this year, the lowest total in the league.

Value Pick - Giedrius Arluaskis – Watford - $2,500

There can be some real value here. Last week, the Hornets’ top keeper, Heurelho Gomes left the pitch in a neck brace after colliding with teammate Craig Cathcart, giving substitute keeper Giedrius Arluaskis his first ever Premier League appearance. Gomes’ fitness has yet to be confirmed for this week and if he is indeed deemed unfit to play, Arluaskis will get the first team nod for one of the league's top defensive units.

Premier League DFS Defense Picks For DraftKings

Top Pick - Aleksandar Kolarov – Manchester City -  $5,500

In Matchday 14 Kolarov proved exactly what makes him Draft Kings’ most highly valued defender. Not only does the Serbian left back anchor the flank of one of the league’s top rearguards, but also regularly gets involved with the Sky Blue attack. Last week, Kolarov cemented all three points for City, scoring his second goal of the season for their 3-1 victory over Southampton.

Value Pick - Christian Fuchs – Leicester City  - $3,600

Fuchs is one of just four defenders active on Saturday averaging double-digit outputs. Of those four defenders, only Southampton’s Cedric Soares can be had for less than $4,000. Fuchs gets the nod as this week’s value pick due to his enticing matchup against a Swansea side that has been starving for goals as of late.

Premier League DFS Midfielder Picks For DraftKings

Top Pick – Mesut Ozil – Arsenal - $7,400

The pressure is on the German playmaker to keep the Gunners in the top four as they approach the second half of the season. With Alexis Sanzhez becoming the newest member of Arsenal’s ever growing injury list, the North London squad will need to collectively replicate his scoring output. Ozil will look to anchor Arsenal’s offensive attack and add to his league leading 11 assists when Arsenal host Sunderland on Saturday. The Black Cats have allowed 27 goals this season, the fourth highest total in the league.

Value Pick – Junior Stanislas – AFC Bournemouth - $4,000

Stanislas will have the pleasure of taking on one of the league’s worst defensive units when the Cherries head to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea. Stanislas has been hot as of late, netting an assist and two goals in his last two games. These recent performances should cement the former fringe player into the starting XI moving forward.

Premier League DFS Forward Picks For DraftKings

Jamie Vardy – Leicester City - $8,000

This should be a surprise to nobody. Until Vardy stops scoring he should be owned in all competitions. Despite setting the EPL record 11 consecutive games with a goal, Vardy, the former fourth division player, is seemingly hungry for more.

Value Pick – Wilfried Bony – Manchester City - $5,400

Bony will seemingly get another start on Saturday with Sergio Aguero out, yet again, with a lower body strain. Bony has two goals and two assists in his six starts this season. On Saturday, City face a stingy Stoke defense that has only allowed 14 goals all season. The Citizens counter attacks have been ruthless this season and with Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva back to full health, Bony should have ample opportunity to carve up the Potters’ backline.
