Welcome back! With the World Cup, it doesn’t seem like there was much of an offseason. Yes, congratulations, France! Saturday’s favorites are the Spurs, followed by Chelsea and Everton. Once again, Harry Kane empties the wallets. Well, the Spurs carry hefty price tags. Eriksen is the most expensive midfielder, and the top four defenders are all Spurs. Let’s look at a contrarian play or someone to help you afford a Spur.
The standard lineup at Draft Kings consists of two forwards, two midfielders, two defenders, one goalkeeper, and one utility player. Saturday’s fixtures are below. The Fixture Difficulty Rating (FDR) comes from the Fantasy Premier League website. The rating is from 1-5 with one being the lowest difficulty rating and five being the highest difficulty rating (higher the rating, better the team).

Leicester, D, Ben Chilwell ($5300): A valuable defender isn’t far below the Spurs. Chilwell earned 8.5 fantasy points last week, mostly from crosses. Leicester will match up against the Wolves who just joined the EPL from relegation.
Everton, F, Cenk Tosun ($6300): Tosun’s value is goal-dependent since he is not a key player in set pieces. But Tosun is goal hungry and even without a goal earned 10.8 fantasy points last week.
