After another International break, the English Premier League returns and we have a full slate with Manchester City, Liverpool, and Tottenham to welcome us back. 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 VIP 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: $10.6k F | FanDuel: $13.0k F
I promise one of these weeks Sergio Aguero won’t lead off this article – but today is not that day. Manchester City is a massive -1400 favorite and Aguero is 75% to score a goal according to the book makers. That’s too good for me to fade from a team that I’m looking to jam in at least two expensive pieces for cash games. Where you go with the other depends on construction and what fits but as long as he plays Aguero is the top option on the slate.
Victor Camarasa (Cardiff)
DraftKings: $4.9k M | FanDuel: 7.0k M
Yeah, that’s right, Victor Camarasa boys and girls. Look, we need value this week pretty badly and here’s where I’m going to start. I know Cardiff is horrible but they are actually a home favorite on Saturday, something that won’t happen often this year. Fulham concedes a lot and their usual set piece taker in Joe Ralls should be out. So, that mean’s we are looking at you Camarasa…I think the midfielder has our favorite combination to look for: a high floor and a high ceiling.
Adam Masina (Watford)
DraftKings: $3.5k D | FanDuel: $4.0k D
Can’t stop, won’t stop…looking for more value so I can jam in those Man City pieces. Granted I do think Masina will be chalky on DraftKings, he’s expected to get the start for Jose Holebas who will be serving a yellow card suspension. It’s really that simple, I don’t expect Masina will be the focal point of the offense like Holebas but he should get enough touches on the wing along with some defensive stats to make for a nice pay-down option at defender.
Junior Stanislas (Bournemouth)
DraftKings: $6.6k M | FanDuel: $6.5k M
This one will need some Saturday morning monitoring but assuming Ryan Fraser doesn’t play than it will be hard to ignore Junior Stanislas on set pieces for a home favorite against Southampton. Stanislas is yet to make a start this season and if Fraser sits and Stanislas doesn’t play I’m 100% sure I’ll have a pivot from this team available for you in our VIP chat.
That’s it for today, remember to be in VIP Chat Saturday morning as myself and Trey will be providing updates and our player pools when lineups are released!
