Martin Konstantinov's EPL DFS lineup picks on FanDuel and DraftKings for Matchday 24. 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 24 (on January 20th, 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

Jamie Vardy - F, LEI vs WAT (DK - $6,900, FD - $9,000)

Considered Leicester's main forward this season, Jamie Vardy has nine goals in the league and has a very intriguing matchup against Watford this weekend. With Leicester having some tough fixtures as of late, this weekend's game against Watford could be a chance for a breakthrough performance for the team, who have just one win in their last five games. If Leicester win handily, you can almost guarantee Vardy will be involved in either creating a scoring chance or putting one away, making his bargain price on DraftKings worth the investment.

Sergio Aguero - F, MCI vs NEW (DK - $10,600, FD - $12,000)

With backup forward Gabriel Jesus out for the next few weeks, Aguero has virtually no competition at the position and has proven to be one of the best forwards in the league as part of the most dynamic offense in the league. With Manchester City having an easy matchup against Newcastle, Aguero has a good chance to get into some scoring opportunities, making him an expensive but potentially worthwhile play this weekend in most DFS formats.

EPL DFS Midfielders to Consider 

Raheem Sterling - M, MCI vs NEW (DK - $9,900, FD - $10,000)

Another Manchester City player to consider putting in your lineups is winger Raheem Sterling. Sterling has fourteen goals this season, making him Manchester City's top goal scorer. The talented winger is a constant threat from out wide and has been electrifying this season. Sterling should be considered a lock for most formats given his penchant for scoring goals and creating opportunities for the team as they look to rebound from their first loss of the season against Liverpool.

Xerdan Shaqiri - M, STK vs HUD (DK - $7,800, FD - $9,000)

Shaqiri has battled through some disappointing performances in recent weeks and has a good chance to bounce back against a suspect Huddersfield defense in a relegation battle this weekend. The winger is one of the main offensive threats for Stoke and should play the majority if not all of the full ninety minutes. With a high rate of crosses this season, Shaqiri has a good chance to grab an assist or two in a game that might become a high-scoring affair.

EPL DFS Defenders to Consider

Antonio Valencia - D, MU vs BUR (DK - $5,300, FD - $7,000)

With both Manchester United and Burnley having solid defenses until this point in the season, this game projects to be a relatively low-scoring and should mean a likely clean sheet for United's backline. Valencia gets the nod from Rotoballer as the best option because he has shown that he can get up the flanks and grab a goal on occasion, making his upside worth the cost you will have to pay to secure him in your lineup.

Nicolas Otamendi - D, MCI vs NEW (DK - $4,800, FD - $6,500)

Otamendi has just signed a four and a half year contract extension with league leaders Manchester City, making him a pivotal part of their backline. Otamendi is part of a team that is hungry to rebound from their loss against Liverpool and a backline that will not want to give up any goals following last week's concession of three from the Merseyside club. Otamendi had a few scoring chances and has scored a few goals with his head this year. If any defender can score for the team this week, it will be the Argentine center back.

EPL DFS Goalies to Consider

Petr Cech - G, ARS vs CRY (DK - $5,600, FD - $5,500)

The Arsenal goaltender will be looking forward to playing Crystal Palace for the second time in a few weeks. Crystal Palace have one of the lowest amount of goals in the league this season, and Arsenal's backline should prove solid against their London rival. Cech is modestly priced and should be considered a decent option at the position in most DFS formats with a solid chance to grab a clean sheet and a couple of saves for the team.
