Premier League DFS Goalkeeper Picks For DraftKings
Top Pick – Hugo Lloris – Tottenham Hotspur - $4,100
Lloris is this Saturday’s top pick at keeper, primarily due to the defense in front of him. The Spurs have been the best rearguard in the top-flight from the begininning of the season, paving the way for Lloris’s eight clean sheets. Lloris will be the most expensive option on Saturday, but most assuredly will be worth the investment as the league’s best defense takes on a Watford squad that has been shut out in three of the last four league matches.
Value Pick – Lukasz Fabianski – Swansea City - $3,800
Fabianksi bounced back well from his four goal thronging against Sunderland with a 1-0 clean-sheet victory against Watford. On the rain-sokaed Monday evening, Fabianksi needed only stop two shots, suggesting that maybe Swansea long-last has earned some defensive cohesion. Though a gamble, Fabianksi will have the pleasure of facing a floundering Palace squad without both Jason Puncheon and Yohan Cabaye.
Premier League DFS Defense Picks For DraftKings
Top Pick – Aleksandar Kolarov – Manchester City - $5,200
The Serbian left-back returned from injury earlier this week during an 11-minute cameo, cementing the clean sheet victory over Sunderland on Tuesday. Kolarov’s improving form could at come at a better time, as City host table sitters Leicester in a title bought that may very well determine the eventual champion.
Value Pick – Patrick van Aanholt – Sunderland - $4,300
Patrick van Aanholt has been a fantasy owners dream since becoming a regular fixture for the Black Cats in November. An eye for the net, the Dutchman has scored two goals in his last three matches and produced double-digit point outputs in four of his last five matches.
Premier League DFS Midfielder Picks For DraftKings
Value Pick – Gylfi Sigurdsson – Swansea City - $6,500
The former Tottenham man has been a fantasy revelation as of late, scoring four goals and registering at least 18.5 points in four of the last five league matches. The Icelandic international may single-handedly be credited for the Swans turnaround, and be the csatalyst that keeps Swansea in the Premier League for another season.
Value Pick – Dele Alli – Tottenham Hotspur - $6,200
Despite the reoccurring proof that Alli is the league’s best young player, his demand remains relatively low on Draft Kings. Alli has registered a combined eight goals and assists in his last ten games, and has produced double-digit points in all but two matches since November 8th.
Premier League DFS Midfielder Picks For DraftKings
Top Pick – Harry Kane – Tottenham Hotspur - $8,200
Kane has scored seven goals in his last eight league appearances, staying hot on the trails of Golden Boot leader Jamie Vardy. In addition, Kane leads the league in shots including a whopping 18 in the past three matches.
Value Pick – Steve Naismith – Norwich City - $4,000
After rotting away on the Everton bench for the bulk of the season, Naismith finds himself as a key-player for a squad just struggling to keep its head above water. In the midst of a tireless relegation battle and desperate for a goal scoring threat, Norwich made the buy for Naismith during the January transfer window. In his two games as a Canary, the Scottish striker netted a goal against Liverpool and narrowly missed another against Tottenham. This weekend, the Canaries face a hapless Aston Villa squad that will most certainly be traveling down to the Championship for the 2016-2017 season.
