DraftKings has seven games for Boxing Day. Several EPL studs have favorable match-ups. So, which will you choose? Of course Salah and Kane are the two highest-priced players for Boxing Day. Richarlison is away to pick on poor Burnley and costs a more affordable $8,200. Aubameyang (8,500) has a tougher matchup than Richarlison playing away against Brighton.
Man United getting a new manager apparently lit their arses on fire. The Red Devils have another favorable match-up this week against Huddersfield, making Martial and Rashford very tasty. It’s Boxing Day — have fun!
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).
Fixtures for December 26, 2018
| Home Team | FDR | Away Team | FDR |
| Burnley | 2 | Everton | 3 |
| Crystal Palace | 2 | Cardiff | 2 |
| Leicester | 3 | Man City | 5 |
| Liverpool | 4 | New Castle | 2 |
| Man United | 4 | Huddersfield | 2 |
| Spurs | 4 | Bournemouth | 3 |
| Brighton | 3 | Arsenal | 4 |
Crystal Palace, D, Aaron Wan-Bissaka ($5,000): Crystal Palace has given up the 10th-fewest shots and goals. Wan-Bissaka is a good price for a high floor with a good opportunity for a clean sheet. The ceiling is low; the Eagles defender has peaked at nine fantasy points twice in the last 10 games. Wan-Bissaka is a good balance to a high-price, high-risk player.
Crystal Palace, M, Luka Milivojevic ($7,300): Milivojevic has been streaking (not through the quad), scoring at least 18 fantasy points in three of the last four games. Look to the Serb to capitalize on Cardiff’s weak defense that has given up the second-most goals per game (2.33) and fifth-most shots per game (13.83).
Leicester City, F, Jamie Vardy ($6,000): Vardy is fully healthy and will look to continue scoring. Vardy has scored in the previous three of four games which provided double-digit points to fantasy players. Leicester’s feisty forward will have a tough matchup against Man City, but the Citizens can be penetrated.
