Brandon's DraftKings and FanDuel EPL DFS lineup picks for English Premier League Soccer on 3/3/26 (Matchweek 29). His top daily fantasy soccer forwards, midfielders, defenders, goalkeepers.
Welcome back to "The Kick-Off," and welcome to the 2025-26 season! Fixture congestion is in full force once again after having European play midweek last week, and now another round of domestic fixtures this midweek. This could result in potential rotation given the lack of rest between the midweek fixtures and this weekend's fixtures. The final push to the title is on! Let's kick off Matchweek 29!!
The top favorite for this week is Liverpool FC (-230) at Wolverhampton FC (+550). I will guide you through this four-match slate starting at 2:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday, March 3.
If you have any questions on today's slate, bankroll management, GPP strategy, cash game strategy, or anything else, don't hesitate to contact me at [email protected], via X @df_solutions, or in our Discord chat rooms.
EPL DFS Goalies
Alisson Becker - DK $5.9K || FD $14
Opponent - at Wolverhampton
The goalkeeper position is a question mark at best for this midweek four-fixture slate. It will ultimately come down to what salary is left and whether managers want the "safe" win points. In Alisson Becker’s most recent five starts in all competitions, he has made 15 saves, conceded four goals, and recorded three clean sheets.
Wolverhampton FC is tied for the least amount of goals scored in its last five fixtures on the slate, excluding splits, with five. Furthermore, Liverpool has conceded the fewest goals on the slate, excluding splits, with five. This will come down to which Liverpool defense shows up on the pitch. Can Becker register another clean sheet?
Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):
- Jordan Pickford (DK $5.5K || FD $13) vs. Burnley FC
- Caoimhín Kelleher (DK $4.4K || FD $10) at AFC Bournemouth
EPL DFS Forwards
Amine Adli - DK $8.2K || FD $14
Opponent - vs. Brentford FC
Fixture congestion is expected to hit AFC Bournemouth hard. It will lay the groundwork for Amine Adli to make another start and potentially take the majority of set pieces for the Cherries. In Adli’s most recent five appearances in all competitions, he has produced two goals, one assist, seven shots, eight chances created, 25 crosses, 12 corners, 10 tackles, three interceptions, and six clearances.
This matchup with Brentford FC is expected to have some fireworks. It is projected as the fastest-paced fixture on the slate, and both clubs have been conceding a plethora of goals as of late. Will Brentford bounce back after the surplus of goals it conceded to Burnley, or will Adli and company reign terror on the Bees?
Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):
- Hugo Ekitiké (DK $9.9K || FD $21) at Wolverhampton FC
- Dominic Calvert-Lewin (DK $6.7K || FD $18) vs. Sunderland AFC
Amine Adli.

EPL DFS Midfielders
James Ward-Prowse - DK $4.7K || FD $13
Opponent - at Everton FC
The majority of managers will gravitate toward Liverpool stacks and, expectedly so. It has arguably the most optimal matchup on the slate. However, it also requires a lot of salary to be allocated toward those stacks.
This is where James Ward-Prowse comes in. The veteran box-to-box midfielder for Burnley FC offers immense value. Over his four matches with the Clarets, he has managed one assist, two shots, five chances created, 22 crosses, 17 corners, one tackle, five interceptions, and two clearances. Expect Ward-Prowse to maintain value here.
Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):
- Dominik Szoboszlai (DK $9.6K || FD $22) at Wolverhampton FC
- Anton Stach (DK $9.1K || FD $20) vs. Sunderland AFC

EPL DFS Defenders
Defenders
Trai Hume - DK $4.2K || FD $11
Opponent - at Leeds United
The defender position offers some flexibility for this midweek slate. However, Trai Hume leads the race. The wingback has settled back into his old role on the left flank. Throughout his last five matches in all competitions, he has produced seven shots, four chances created, 18 crosses, eight corners, nine tackles, three interceptions, and 14 clearances.
Leeds United will not be a "walk in the park," nor will it provide tough competition. At his current salary, Hume is projected to meet and exceed his value.
Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):
- Vitalii Mykolenko (DK $4.9K || FD $12) vs. Burnley FC
- Gabriel Gudmundsson (DK $4.7K || FD $9) vs. Sunderland AFC
Corner Takers
- AFC Bournemouth: Amine Adli/Alex Scott
- Brentford FC: Mathias Jensen
- Leeds United: Anton Stach
- Sunderland AFC: Enzo Le Fée/Trai Hume
- Everton FC: James Garner/Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall
- Burnley FC: James Ward-Prowse
- Wolverhampton FC: Mateus Mané
- Liverpool FC: Dominik Szoboszlai
Thanks for reading The Kick-Off. Good luck in all of your contests today!
