Draft Kings has six games on Wednesday’s slate. Harry Kane, Eden Hazard and Mohamed Salah are the big names today. Salah has the best matchup, facing Burnley who is Santa Clause to opposing offenses, and the Egyptian star will probably get double-digit points, but the price is high. I would like Hazard to be healthier, but I’m still buying. The Wolves aren’t a “cush” matchup, but Hazard thrives on challenge.
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 City, D, Ricardo Pereira ($5,200): Pereira is under the radar with defenders Trippier and Alexander-Arnold blinking in the crosshairs. Leicester has only allowed 10.79 shots and 1.21 goals per game this season, and has five clean sheets this season — the fourth most. Pereira is averaging 9.2 fantasy points per game with a strong chance to get double-digit points today.
Arsenal, F, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ($8,500): Who has the most goals in EPL so far this season? Not the three most expensive players today. It’s Aubameyang with 10 goals. Salah has seven goals this season and costs $2000 more. Man United scores, but also allows scores; the Red Devils have allowed the 10th-most shots and 6th-most goals. Aubameyang has averaged 13.5 fantasy points per game and has a vaulted ceiling evident by his 38.8 points last week.
