Martin Konstantinov's EPL DFS lineup picks on FanDuel and DraftKings for Matchday 23. The top daily fantasy soccer players and sleepers for the Premier League.

It's an intriguing seven-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 23 (on January 13th, 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

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.
