DraftKings fantasy football is very similiar to Fantasy Premier League (FPL), but does not require full-time commitment like FPL as it offers year round games that you can play as little or as much as you want. 

Here are our fix standout selections for the DraftKings' gameweek eleven daily contest (Saturday 3rd November):

GK / Fabianski / $5,400

Fabianski ticks the boxes this week with a home encounter vs. Burnley and the salary investment to include him in your sides is marginally less than another standout pick in Pickford ($5,600), who has actually scored less (6.9) than Fabianski’s DraftKings' fantasy points per game (FPPG) score of 7.5 to date. As always we like to focus our attentions on the amount of saves Goalkeepers are making given how the DraftKings' point scoring system works and Fabianski has averaged the second most saves per game (behind Hart) when looking at other standout options for Saturday’s classic contest (with 4.4 per game). It is also worth noting that Fabianski has conceded less than Hart (1.5 vs. 2.1 per game) and considering you are deducted 2 points per goal, this swings us. Our Fix predicted points & stats feature suggests West Ham have a 41% chance of a clean sheet, which is only 1% behind the more expensive, Pickford.

D / Digne / $6,900

Brighton are not renowned for being big scorers, scoring just four in their last five games, so the Everton defence looks like a good place to start this Saturday, particularly as Holebas was omitted last time out. So far, Digne has been weighing in with very impressive performances, getting forward at will, and is currently averaging a mighty 11.4 FPPG in DraftKings which is ahead of other popular choices, Alexander-Arnold (9.8), Robertson (7.5), as well as his counterpart Coleman (7.1). The Everton right-back is posting some lovely numbers versus other standout selections for Saturday’s contest as shown in our custom stats’ table built for DraftKings’ scoring criteria below. Given that the DraftKings’ scoring format allows you to score 0.75 points per cross it is no wonder Digne’s FPPG score is so high with a healthy average of 7.9 crosses per game. He is also third for expected assists among this list of six standout players below which also bodes well given that 6 points are earned per assist.

M / Sigurdsson / $9,600

Sigurdsson is made for DraftKings given the way the scoring is weighted heavily towards those who cross and shoot a lot, so he looks to be the pick of the bunch with his great underlying numbers and attractive fixture. With DraftKings awarding 1 point for a shot (and a further 1 point if it is on target), Sigurdsson looks to be a solid selection we should all be squeezing into our lineups this week with his average of 2.5 shots per game. The Icelandic international has also averaged the same amount of goals per game (0.5) as Salah and given goals score 10 points in DraftKings, this cannot be overlooked. Brighton look likely to concede goals in this one according to our predicted points & stats feature. The seaside based outfit have moderately low 29% chance of keeping a clean sheet. For more comparisons to other outfield players see our custom stats table created specifically for DraftKings here.

F / Arnautovic / $8,300

Arnautovic has averaged the most shots on target over the first 10 games with 1.5 per game, when looking at the seven standout selections when looking at our custom stats’ table for DraftKings’ scoring criteria below. DraftKings offers 1 point per shot, and an additional point for a shot on target, so he should be a great selection to help you win cash this Saturday. Looking across the same players shown below, the West Ham forward is also joint-second for average goals per game with 0.5 alongside Kane, and considering 10 points are up for grabs for a goal this is what will really boost your chances of winning prize money. Agüero is a selection that looks good particularly as Cardiff have such bad projected statistics via our predicted points & stats feature. The Bluebirds only have a 32% chance of a clean sheet.

How to play DraftKings Fantasy Football

For those unaccustomed to this fantastic daily cash game, you are required to select eight players with a $50,000 salary cap. The structure is as follows;

GK -- D x2 -- M x2 -- F x2 -- UTIL (utility player)

The utility player can be either a D (Defender), M (Midfielder) or F (Forward) and will score points in the same way as the other selections. However, you will notice your budget has been spread thin, so, this is all about finding a hidden gem that could score well. For example, a defender that is not typically a big scorer but is playing against a team that struggle to score, therefore heightening the chance of (clean sheet, tackles won, passed intercepted etc.) points.

The format allows you the luxury of entering into a variety of contests including beginner tournaments/leagues, head to heads (against one other opponent), 50/50s (where you win if you finish in the top half) and many more.

The full scoring breakdown is as follows:
