EPL DFS Goalies

Matz Sels - DK $5K || FD $11

Opponent - vs. Everton FC

Value at the goalkeeper position on this slate will not come easy. However, Matz Sels of Nottingham Forest will make his case. The hosts are in the bottom four in Shots Against Per 90 over their last five domestic fixtures. 

The Toffees are not taking very many shots, which could limit the keeper’s value. If Sels can manage a few saves, he can still reach value.                                                                      

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):

• Emiliano Martínez (DK $5.5K || FD $13) at Southampton
• Aaron Ramsdale (DK $3.9K || FD $8) vs. Aston Villa

EPL DFS Forwards

Marco Asensio - DK $8.2K || FD $17

Opponent - at Southampton

Attacking midfielder Marco Asensio's role depends on Aston Villa’s starting XI. Currently, teammates Lucas Digne, Youri Thielemans, and John McGinn are expected not to start, which would leave Asensio in full control of the Lions' set pieces.

The midfielder and forward in his last five matches–two starts–in all competitions, has three goals, one assist, 10 shots, three chances created, seven crosses, six corners, six tackles, and two clearances. Southampton is the worst club across the board in the last five domestic fixtures, notably Chances Created Per 90, Shots Assisted Per 90, and Penalty Area Defense. Asensio is projected to reach value quickly.

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP): 

• Yankubah Minteh (DK $10.2K || FD $18) vs. Leicester City
• Danny Welbeck (DK $6.4K || FD $16) vs. Leicester City

EPL DFS Midfielders

Elliot Anderson - DK $6K || FD $14

Opponent - vs. Everton

Elliot Anderson is slowly taking over the midfield for Nottingham Forest. Similar to midfielder James Ward-Prowse in West Ham. The former now has one assist, five shots, two chances created, six crosses, five corners, 10 tackles, four interceptions, two clearances, and two blocked shots.

Everton is becoming a defensive powerhouse and has been a top-five defense over the last five matchweeks. Anderson and Nottingham Forest are not expected to score a frenzy of goals. However, thanks to his role on set pieces, he can still reach value.                                                                     

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP): 

• Dwight McNeil (DK $8.4K || FD $19) at Nottingham Forest
• Mateus Fernandes (DK $6.2K || FD $17) vs. Aston Villa

EPL DFS Defenders

Pervis Estupiñán - DK $6.5K || FD $13

Opponent - vs. Leicester City

Leicester City is the third-worst club on the slate when defending crosses. Over their last five domestic fixtures, they are also the second-worst in Chances Created Against Per 90, Big Chances Created Against Per 90, and In-the-Box Goals Against Per 90. This suits Estupiñán’s strengths well.

In Estupiñán’s last five fixtures in all competitions, he has one goal, seven shots, five chances created, 21 crosses, 12 corners, nine tackles, nine interceptions, and 11 clearances. When analyzing the slate and the given matchups, it becomes clearer that Estupiñán will garner the most ownership at the defender position. Can he reach value in a premium matchup, or will he fail to produce double-digit fantasy points for the third-straight performance?  

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP): 

• Ryan Manning (DK $5.9K || FD $12) vs. Aston Villa
• Jarrad Branthwaite (DK $2.6K || FD $14) at Nottingham Forest

Corner Takers

• Brighton & Hove Albion: Pervis Estupiñán
• Leicester City: Bilal El Khannouss
• Nottingham Forest: Elliot Anderson
• Everton FC: Dwight McNeil
• Southampton: Manning
• Aston Villa: Marco Asensio
