Martin Konstantinov's EPL DFS lineup picks on FanDuel and DraftKings for Matchday 36. The top daily fantasy soccer players and sleepers for the Premier League.
It's an intriguing six-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 36 (on April 25th, 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 CRY (DK - $7,600, FD - $10,000)
Vardy scored a goal in three of his last four games and has sixteen on the season; now, the England international team member is going up against Crystal Palace, a side who are known for giving up a fair amount of goals. Consider Vardy a top option in GPP formats as the striker will likely be heavily owned going into the weekend; after all, he is one of the top players in his position for a reason. Vardy will look to add his 17th goal of the season, and with the way Leicester have been playing lately, Vardy should be the centerpiece of their attack that they rely on more than most weeks against Crystal Palace.
Chris Wood - F, BUR vs BHA (DK - $6,300, FD - $10,000)
Although he has been often injured this season, Chris Wood has still made his presence known, with nine goals to his name. Although he did not score last week, Wood has been in fine form since coming back from injury, making him a top option in most DFS slates. Wood has a relatively low price on DraftKings and should be considered a fantastic GPP and Tournament play on their site, while he is a decent play on FanDuel due to his inflated cost.
EPL DFS Midfielders to Consider
Eden Hazard - M, CHE vs SWA (DK - $10,500, FD - $11,500)
We just saw what Manchester City did to Swansea last week. Eden Hazard is the centerpiece of Chelsea's attack and will look to take advantage of an extremely easy matchup as he hopes to increase his goal tally on the season. He already has twelve this year, and although he is expensive on both sites, Hazard will likely also be heavily owned, making his involvement in the majority of your GPP lineups a necessity.
Jose Izquierdo - M, BHA vs BUR (DK - $5,300, FD - $7,500)
An under the radar option this week, Izquierdo has performed well for Brighton this season, as the winger has adjusted decently to the Premier League. With five goals and three assists on the year, Izquierdo is a promising young talent who could break down Burnley's back line this weekend. Burnley have struggled to keep clean sheets as of late, and apart from Glenn Murray, Brighton rely on Izquierdo for consistent production in the attacking half of the pitch, making him a sneaky GPP add as well as a near must-own in Tournament formats.
EPL DFS Defenders to Consider
Ryan Bertrand - D, SOU vs BOU (DK - $5,800, FD - $5,500)
Although Southampton have managed just six clean sheets over the course of the season, Bertrand was a key part of their success last week. Now, he looks to take on an underwhelming Bournemouth side who have a lack of firepower up top. Bertrand is a constant threat to cross the ball, making him a decent DraftKings play, while the chance of a clean sheet is enough to risk him on FanDuel as well.
Harry Maguire - D, LEI vs CRY (DK - $3,800, FD - $6,500)
Much more so a FanDuel than DraftKings play, Maguire faces a vulnerable Crystal Palace side in a game that Leicester are expected to win, if not outright dominate. Although he is a lottery ticket in most DraftKings contests, expect Maguire to be heavily owned on FanDuel this weekend, making him a very solid GPP play as a result of Leicester's easy game during this slate.
EPL DFS Goalies to Consider
Martin Dubravka - G, NEW vs WBA (DK - $5,400, FD - $4,500)
When in doubt, pick the goalie who is playing the worst team in the league. Dubravka has been very solid since arriving at Newcastle, despite a poor performance last week, and is a cheaper option on both sites who could potentially be a week-winner in Tournament formats and will likely have decent ownership levels due to his matchup in most GPP pools this weekend. Although there are several options to choose from at the position this weekend, Dubravka makes the most sense as he is not too expensive and will likely generate decent returns due to his matchup this weekend.
Good luck this weekend!
