Martin Konstantinov's EPL DFS lineup picks on FanDuel and DraftKings for Matchday 8. The top daily fantasy soccer players and sleepers for the Premier League.

It's an intriguing six-game slate for DFS Premier League soccer this weekend on FanDuel and DraftKings. Below we bring you seven players you should consider as EPL DFS lineup picks for Matchday 8 (on October 6th, 2018).

Not all are top-tier options, as there is a range of DFS value picks, sleepers and high-risk players mixed in.

Consider all of these EPL players for your DFS lineups this weekend; however, at the end of the day, it is always your decision. Good luck, RotoBallers.

EPL DFS Forwards to Consider

Romelu Lukaku - F, MU vs NEW (DK - $9,000, FD - $12,000)

As a part of Manchester United's putrid performance last week, forward Romelu Lukaku was unable to have any quality chances that resulted in fantasy points. However, an enticing fixture against Newcastle may be the catalyst for a resurgence in Lukaku's form. Lukaku is the main striker in the team's system, giving him a good chance to perform in a fixture that is officially a must-win for manager Jose Mourinho.

Sam Vokes - F, BUR vs HUD (DK - $7,500, FD - $5,100)

A fantastic Tournament option on both slates, Burnley forward Sam Vokes has been given consistent playing time since the benching of fellow forward Chris Wood. Vokes is a versatile forward who has constantly threatened to get on the scoresheet; however, with just one goal so far this season, Vokes will hopefully have the chance to improve his scoring total this weekend with an easy match against Huddersfield.

EPL DFS Midfielders to Consider 

Richarlison - M, EVE vs LEI (DK - $8,000, FD - $8,300)

The Brazilian winger may have missed a penalty in the team's mid-week clash against Southampton in the cup, but he is still the main threat to produce for an Everton side that has had quite an up-and-down season so far. Richarlison is always a threat to score when he plays and has consistently gotten into good scoring positions for the Merseyside outfit. With a fantastic price on both sites, consider Richarlison a locked-in starter regardless of the contest structure.

Roberto Pereyra - M, WAT vs BOU (DK - $7,000, FD - $6,100)

Essentially a cheaper version of Richarlison, Roberto Pereyra has had a fantastic start to his season at Vicarage Road, with three goals on the season and a style of play as the main option for the team going forward. However, it has been four games since Pereyra's last goal. With an enticing matchup against Bournemouth, Pereyra may look to get back on the score-sheet for the fourth time this season and benefit those who select him in DFS lineups, especially in Tournament contests.

EPL DFS Defenders to Consider

Ben Davies - D, TOT vs CAR (DK - $6,000, FD - $5,500)

If Ben Davies gets the start this weekend, he looks to be a good bet for defensive and offensive upside due to Tottenham's need for a solid performance against Cardiff. Davies has always been a good option going forward, but a rotation with Danny Rose has limited his performance this season. That being said, Davies is a good threat going forward and should warrant significant exposure in Tournament lineups on both sites.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka - D, CRY vs WOL (DK - $5,000, FD - $6,500)

Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been decent for a solid, if underwhelming, Crystal Palace side this season. The young Palace fullback has had his own ups-and-downs this year, most notably a red card early in the season. However, especially on DraftKings, Wan-Bissaka's price point is too good to pass up for a fullback with upside on a team that is expected to battle it out with a Wolves side that is full of offensive flair but exploitable at the back.

EPL DFS Goalies to Consider

Joe Hart - G, BUR vs HUD (DK - $5,300, FD - $5,000)

Another Burnley man this week, Joe Hart has been a fantastic goalkeeper so far this season. The experienced England shot-stopper has shown why he should retain the starting job at Burnley this season, with several saves each match justifying his place in Burnley and fantasy lineups alike. Hart is a good option at a mid-tier price for Goalkeeper on both sites and makes for a cost-effective GPP lineup option with moderate ownership totals who is likely to perform well on a weekly basis (and specifically this week!).

Good luck this weekend!
