Saturday’s EPL DFS slate is as balanced as I have seen in a long time. Of the 12 teams in the FanDuel slate, six are in the top eight of the table and six are in the bottom eight. With the way the matchups shake out, there are only one or two heavy favorites, which could lead to quite a few interesting games. I think some of these games could have a ton of goals so I will probably look to load up on mid-priced attackers from those games while I save money on goalkeepers.

9.64
Neto has one goal allowed in each of his last two games, with nine saves combined. Only four teams have allowed more saves than Newcastle, and Bournemouth has only allowed 11 goals in 10 home games this season.
Fraser Forster
TOT
LEI
5100
3.18

4.00
Tottenham is +105 to win, having defeated Leicester in four straight games. Forster probably won't keep a clean sheet but we are getting a good price to chase a win and he has the added benefit of not being Hugo Lloris.
Bernd Leno
FUL
NFO
5500
9.51
12
14.75
Nottingham Forest has played better in 2023 but they have still managed just three goals in 10 away games this season. This is the easiest matchup Fulham has had since December and I like Leno's chances to take advantage. I love his price on FanDuel but I might pivot to Aaron Ramsdale on DraftKings.

22.60
I don't want to overreact to one game, but it was nice to see Tete hit three crosses in addition to his three shots and one goal in his Leicester debut against Aston Villa. Leicester and Tottenham have combined to score 23 goals in their last four meetings and while that game offers a lot of values on FanDuel, Tete looks like a great value on DraftKings.
Kelechi Iheanacho
LEI
TOT
7900
4.48
15
7.37
Iheanacho has two goals and two assists in two starts this season and he has three goals in 10 career caps against Tottenham. He is a GPP play on DraftKings but I love his price on FanDuel.
Willian
FUL
NFO
6200
8.61
14
12.31
Only Bournemouth has allowed more crosses than Nottingham Forest, and Willian had three crosses in two of his last three games. He is a reasonable mid-priced play on both sites.
Harry Kane
TOT
LEI
9200
17.34
23
27.46
Kane has scored 41 percent of Tottenham's goals this season. He isn't creating chances as consistently as he did last season but he still looks like the safest play on FanDuel by far.
Bobby De Cordova-Reid
FUL
NFO
4400
6.82
12
11.40
He has been quiet of late but he still has the second-most goals on his team. De Cordova-Reid is a cheap forward with a decent floor on DraftKings, but he's mostly on this list because I like his upside in this matchup. He had an assist in the reverse fixture in September.

10.43
Perisic has 13 crosses and three chances created in his last two games but no attacking returns to show for it. Tottenham has scored 13 goals in its last four games against Leicester, giving Perisic a nice ceiling to go with his strong floor.
Dejan Kulusevski
TOT
LEI
7200
9.84
15
14.46
Kulusevski has been a bit inconsistent this year but I'm willing to give him a pass since three of his four games were against Arsenal or Manchester City. Kulusevski looks like a nice value with a great matchup.
James Maddison
LEI
TOT
8600
18.27
18
24.34
I always like when there are enough reasonably-priced forwards to allow me to pay up for the safe midfielders on DraftKings. I think the matchup will scare some people away but Maddison has three goals in seven games against Tottenham.
Bukayo Saka
ARS
BRE
8800
16.09
20
21.43
The only knock against him is that he is no longer forward-eligible, but being a midfielder only has probably kept his price down. Saka has double-digit fantasy points in six straight games and looks like a great cash play on both sites.
Pablo Sarabia
WOL
SOU
5400
4.56
12
0.65
Sarabia has been on corners since joining Wolves and I like his chances for plenty of corners considering Southampton has the fifth-lowest possession in the league. He also has four shots in 105 minutes against Manchester City and Liverpool.

Olise quietly has 50 crosses and 14 chances created in his last five starts despite a really tough schedule. Brighton is a good team but Olise is a nice play on both sites.

Victor Kristiansen
LEI

8.14

11.70
Kristiansen took all three of Leicester's corners in his Premier League debut, and that alone makes the 20-year-old underpriced. It is rare to see a productive defender so cheap, and I don't expect it to last long.
Maximilian Kilman
WOL
SOU
3100
3.06
11
11.71
You can pay an extra dollar for Craig Dawson but I will take the defender with at least 20 FD fantasy points in three of his last four games. Southampton has allowed the most clearances of any team on the slate and Kilman has 29 clearances in his last four games.
Tariq Lamptey
BHA
CRY
5000
2.85
7
2.06
Feel free to roll your eyes; I probably deserve it. That being said, he has at least 8.9 DK fantasy points in both starts and his price went down $600. I'll probably keep playing him until his price goes up or he returns to the bench.
Hugo Bueno
WOL
SOU
4000
6.72

Bueno has 15 crosses in his last four games. He hasn't had an attacking return since October but he has a nice floor for his price.
