Sniper’s Slide Tackle – Player Picks for EPL Matchweek 6 on DraftKings & FanDuel

Oh yeah! It’s a massive seven game English Premier League slate set for Saturday morning and the Slide Tackle is back to provide an early look at some potential plays. The Slide Tackle is now for VIPs only and includes four players I’m targeting heading into that crucial period before lineups are released. Make sure you’re around in Slack Chat when that happens (about an hour before kick-off) as that’s when there is the biggest edge and when TreyJ will drop our full list of plays.

Sergio Aguero (Manchester City)
DraftKings: $10.3k F | FanDuel: $12.5k F

Another week and another Slide Tackle where we are starting with Sergio Aguero. He was super chalk last week and while he didn’t put up a snowflake, he also didn’t light the world on fire. I’m going right back to the well as Manchester City travels to the absolute worst team in the Premier League in Cardiff. He should find the score sheet in this high total game as a massive favorite and because he hasn’t scored in a few weeks his price, especially on DraftKings, isn’t as ridiculous as I was expecting.

Johan Berg Gudmundsson (Burnley)
DraftKings: $7.9k M/F | FanDuel: 7.5k M

Viable on both sites but more of a DraftKings play, Johan Berg Gudmundsson (JBG) is basically all of Burnley’s offense. I know that isn’t saying much this year but I think he’s incredible safe to put up at least 1.2x his price tag and has 2-3x type of ceiling. He takes all the set pieces and Burnley is at home which should hopefully help his game flow. He also fills a forward spot on DraftKings so as of right now I’m expecting to play him on Saturday.

James Maddison (Leicester)

DraftKings: $8.2k M | FanDuel: $7.5 F

I think that even with multiple marquis teams on this slate there is a viable path to a mid-range type of lineup, and James Maddison fits right into that. Leicester are a large home favorite to a pretty poor Huddersfield side. I also think this game should be pretty wide open and positive for fantasy points. Maddison has been tallying goals and assists early this season and he’s the team primary set piece taker. Unless something crazy happens when lineups are released, sign me up for plenty of shares.

Kieran Trippier (Tottenham) | Sol Bamba (Cardiff)

Trippier DraftKings: $6.2k D | Bamba FanDuel: $5.5 D

I’m wrapping these two into one play because they will be my exposure for defenders on their respective sites. Trippier is on set piece duty and has plenty of open play ability for a heavily favored Tottenham side. I do think he will be chalky but it’s hard to find that kind of value at the defender position. Over on FanDuel, Sol Bamba and Cardiff should be under heavy siege all game and that’s what I love for the FanDuel defender spot. I’ll take that high floor for the price tag when you consider the scoring system.

That’s it for today, remember to be in Slack Saturday morning as myself and Trey will be providing updates and our player pools when lineups are released!
