Here are the Fixtures, Flyers & Fades for FanDuel EPL DFS for Saturday December 2nd. WE have all the tips and analysis you need to cash this week.

We’re into December and the busiest time of the Premier League FanDuel EPL season. After two midweek slates we are right back into it with a great Saturday main slate. There are seven Premier League games for us to select from and some great ways to cash.

The midweek slates were interesting. On Tuesday I was let down by an under achieving Spurs side who slumped to surprise loss at Leicester. Harry Kane got his obligatory goal but with Man Utd going off for 4 goals in the other game we needed the stack to hit beyond that one goal.

Wednesday was better with Sadio Mane coming good with a goal and an assist for Liverpool. Last minute addition Dominic Solanke helped me cash at only 6k and grabbing an assist for 26 FanDuel points.

As always the aim is to hit 4x value with our lineups. A score of 240 points is good enough to cash in every EPL GPP on FanDuel to date and will often take down a tournament. There are a couple of chalky players on this slate you can’t avoid so I am going to give you a cash line and a contrarian GPP line.

I’ll be on Twitter @davidgatesports to chat through lineups from 9am ET. Happy to give advice with any surprises on the team sheets with rotation in the bust period.

At the top of this slate’s pricing is Harry Kane (12000) and Mohamed Salah (12000). The English striker has 7 of his 10 goals away from home and he is heading to Watford for a great matchup. Despite being 8th in the table Watford have let in 25 goals this year. That ranks 18th in the Premier League and they just shipped 4 at home to Manchester United on Tuesday.

The Hornets are 2nd in the league for most goals in their games (49) only behind Man City (53). This is not the week to fade Kane even at that price.

Salah is on fire with 7 goals in his last 4 games. He came off the bench to brag a brace in just half an hour against Stoke. He got some rest midweek meaning he will almost certainly start tomorrow against Brighton. His price is so high that you can fade him in GPP but I think you have to use him in cash games on current form.

His teammate Sadio Mane (8500) is still under priced by around 2k. I will have the Senegalese midfielder in every line up.

I love the price and matchup of Wes Morgan (5000) who is facing Burnley at home. I love his potential to make value and most punters will be drawn to his partner Harry Maguire (7000).

Despite burning me on Tuesday I am more than happy to go back to David de Gea (5500) this week. He should have plenty of opportunity to make saves away at Arsenal. The huge upside is that Jose Mourinho plays so defensively away to the big clubs that he is a good shot for a clean sheet bonus too.

As I try to fit in Kane and Salah into my lineups I am going to need some good value from elsewhere. Watford defender Marvin Zeegelaar (4500) has started the last two games and should play again tomorrow. His price has gone up by 1k but he is still in a good spot to make value against Tottenham.

Two teams on this slate have brand new managers. Everton and West Brom have appointed Sam Allardyce and Alan Pardew respectively this week. That means we could see some lineup changes and tweaks. The common wisdom is that teams often get a bump from a new manager as players look to impress their new boss.

For West Brom I really like Sam Field (5000) who made a start in midweek and grabbed the opportunity by scoring to bring home 34.5 FanDuel points. Since Tony Pulis was fired Allan Nyom (5500) has put in his two of his best performances of the season. He should keep that going against Palace.

Everton have been so bad this year that their entire roster will be under priced if they get a good bump from Allardyce coming in. For that reason alone I will have an Everton stack line in GPP this week. Cuco Martina (4500) and Jonjoe Kenny (5000) are great defensive value. Gylfi Sigurdsson (8000) and Wayne Rooney (8000) are a nice attacking stack against Huddersfield.

My favorite Flyer of the day is Tammy Abraham (7500) who will be back after missing the game against his parent club Chelsea on Wednesday. He faces up against Stoke who have conceded 29 goals (19th) this year. His weak game logs in recent games will should keep his ownership down.

This is an easy one. A Jose Mourinho side away to a big 6 team is an automatic fade. His record in these games is appalling. He sets his team up to keep a clean sheet and hope they grab a goal from a set piece, counter attack or defensive mistake.

I will absolutely fade all Manchester United attackers this weekend but I will also stay away from Arsenal. The Gunners have been on better form recently helped by the form of Mesut Ozil (8000) and Alexis Sanchez (12000).

Both those players are out of contract in the summer. They are playing well to get big money contracts in June 2018. However in games such as these they don’t have the competitive fight to break United down. I would put my money on a 0-0 or 1-0 game.

Leicester are welcoming Burnley and usually you would be interested in their attackers in a home game. Yet this season Burnley have perfected their formula and have conceded only 11 goals (3rd). They sit above Tottenham in 6th place and only Man City and Chelsea have scored more than once against them. This is an easy fade of Vardy, Mahrez and the rest of their attack.
