The EPL DFS Playbook rolls along with our second playbook in as many days. As we did on Saturday, we have three games at three different times, so we have to be diligent about checking the starting lineups for each game. Chelsea might have the deepest team in the league (its either them or Manchester City), and they have at least 12 players I would consider depending on who’s starting for them. This may be a good slate to play more GPP than cash entries, as most of the highest-priced players are pretty reliant on scoring goals, which tends to be more volatile.

Playbook

 

Goalies
PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
Martin DubravkaNEWSHU45008.78813.84
Of the keepers going Sunday, only Alisson is averaging more fantasy points than Dubravka. This game has the lowest total of the day, and while Newcastle have conceded the fourth-most shots in the Premier League, they have conceded the third-fewest shots in the box. That gives Dubravka a chance to rack up saves without taking on a ton of risk.
Kepa ArrizabalagaCHEAVL57005.29117.88
 
Dean HendersonSHUNEW50007.741112.86
Newcastle have scored the fewest goals in the league, and Sheffield are favored to win this game. Henderson should have a better chance at a win and a clean sheet than Dubravka, but he lacks the save upside, and he costs a bit more.

Roberto FirminoLIVEVE670011.111817.88
Firmino has been great on the road all season, and while there's a chance that is no longer the case with no fans in the stands, he's worth a shot in GPPs.
Allan Saint-MaximinNEWSHU60008.341311.22
Saint-Maximin has been surprisingly consistent for fantasy considering he only has two goals and one assists on the season. He has at least 8.4 fantasy points on DraftKings in seven consecutive starts, and it's nice to have a forward for cash games who doesn't realy on goals.
WillianCHEAVL940012.841815.49
His overall numbers are down because he came off the bench in a handful of games down the stretch, but he is averaging 14.13 fantasy points on DK in his last seven starts.
Sadio ManeLIVEVE1020014.952122.97

Christian PulisicCHEAVL800011.381416.14
 
Oliver NorwoodSHUNEW56008.61312.11
Norwood has at least six crosses in seven consecutive games.
Ruben Loftus-CheekCHEAVL63000710.18
Loftus-Cheek is the poster child for "if he could only stay healthy." He is too talented to be this cheap, even if he is pretty risky having missed more than a year with a ruptured Achilles.
Jonjo ShelveyNEWSHU650011.021218.10
I might prefer Matt Richie if he starts, especially for GPPs. That being said, Shelvey has at least 6.2 fantasy points on DK in each of his last 10 games, and he has been just as consistent on FD
Jordan HendersonLIVEVE66008.571312.67

Kante will score more points on FD, but he is cheap enough on DK to allow you to play the more expensive Liverpool assets.

You could argue Azpilicueta is safer, but Alonso is pretty safe himself and has a much higher ceiling.
