Draft Kings has six games on the Saturday slate. The top two players are Hazard ($11,200) and Salah ($10,300), and both have favorable matches. Hazard scored a goal against New Castle in Week 3. Likewise, Salah scored a goal against Brighton. A couple of less pricey scorers are Vardy and Mitrovic. Defensively, Liverpool and Chelsea have the best opportunity for a clean sheet.
The standard lineup at DraftKings 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).

| Brighton | 2 | Liverpool | 5 |
| Burnley | 2 | Fulham | 2 |

| Crystal Palace | 2 | Watford | 3 |

Cardiff City, M, Víctor Camarasa ($7,700): Camarasa has 8.5 fantasy points per game, but what makes him attractive are the 18 points against Leicester, the 17.5 points against Manchester United and 14 points against Watford. A match against Huddersfield should provide the offense for set pieces and goals.
Southampton, D, Cédric Soares ($4,900): If your budget is tight from investing in offense, Soares can save you some money. Southampton’s defender averages 7.1 fantasy points per game. Soares is involved in set pieces, also takes shots and just might score a goal.
