Draft Kings has six games on Saturday’s slate. Manchester City vs. Fulham, and Chelsea vs. Cardiff are the two favored matchups which is why it’s no surprise that Sergio Agüero and Eden Hazard are the most expensive players. Money may be better spent on high ranked defensemen Benjamin Mendy ($7100) and Marco Alonso ($6500).
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).

Bournemouth F Callum Wilson ($6900) More than just having a cool name, Callum has 11.3 FPPG. The Englishman mostly gets the points during favorable matchups. Enter Leicester.
Fulham F Aleksandar Mitrovic ($5700) Yes, Mitrovic is going up against Manchester City, but goals can be scored against last year’s champions – three this season. Mitrovic has scored a goal in every game this season to include a goal against the Spurs. The Serb has 17.1 FPPG with a high floor and ceiling.
