YO YO YO WELCOME BACK TO MY EPL DFS BREAKDOWN SERIES!  I hope you all are excited as I am to have a little English Premier League back in your life.  Saturday is the first main slate of the season, and I’ll be providing DFS advice here just like last year…mostly.

If you have not heard by now, we at FantasyCPR have officially become FanSided Fantasy – the main home for all fantasy sports content at FanSided.  This will not change anything for you as readers, and we are excited to say that we will still be providing FREE content for all your EPL DFS and betting habits.

Another quick note before we get rolling is that I want to open my articles up for any and all constructive criticism.  If there was anything I wasn’t covering last year that you want covered this year, speak up.

Same goes for it you want something presented in a different manner, or anything at all that you would deem helpful.  Don’t forget to follow me on Twitter (@vdray5).  I’m continually providing additional tidbits and last-minute advice about slates on there.

Lastly, FanDuel did change their soccer pricing and roster format since the end last season.  If you played any Women’s World Cup slates over the summer, you’ll be familiar with this new look.  If not, FanDuel did away with a pricing format which is similar to that of other sports, and moved to a $100 salary cap.

This shouldn’t have a very large influence on building your roster.  However, they did combine forwards and midfielders into 4 dual roster spots.  This allows for more flexibility, but it did cut the whole roster size from 8 down to 7 players.  Because of that flexibility, I will be categorizing FWDs/MIDs into 3 categories this year (top-tier, mid-tier, and value).
