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 five daily contest (Saturday 15th September):
Hennessey has only conceded six goals across five games so far this season which alone is pretty decent. But it is the amount of saves he is making that catches the eye given the way the DraftKings' point scoring system works. The shot-stopper is averaging four saves per games which is scoring his owners 8 points alone (2 points per save). He also comes in at a very reasonable price when compared to the other Goalkeepers eligible for Saturday’s contest and with a DraftKings' fantasy points per game (FPPG) score of 10.4 so far this season that puts him ahead of the likes of Ederson, De Gea and Cech. Our Fix predicted points & stats feature suggests Crystal Palace have a 39% chance of a clean sheet, which places them fifth of all 20 teams for this week ahead of Spurs and Chelsea to name but two.

Is Wan Bissaka this year’s budget gem. So far he has been weighing in with very impressive performances and is currently averaging 8.6 FPPG in DraftKings which is better than his full-back counterpart Van Aanholt’s 6.0 and legendary DraftKings’ players like Valencia, 4.8. The Crystal Palace 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 0.50 points per interception and 1 point for successful tackles his respective averages of 2.5 and 2.8 per game demonstrates why he has been scoring solidly. He is also joint-second for clean sheets among this list of players alongside the ever impressive, Walker, and is ranked joint-second for attempted assists which sees a further 1 point per shot, rubbing shoulders with Trippier and Valencia. For more data like this you can access this custom stats table here.
Salah may be underwhelming some managers across the fantasy football landscape, but the Egyptian is posting some unbelievable stats. With DraftKings awarding 1 point for a shot and a further 1 point if it is on target, Salah is still a selection we should be squeezing into our lineups. The Egyptian has managed more shots (23) than any of the standout selections below, and no midfielder in this list has toppled his nine shots on target. His ‘expected goals’ xG is not to be rivalled at 4.5 which is an encouraging sign, because it tells us that goals are imminent and with 10 points available for a goal this is worth studying. Southampton look likely to concede goals in this one according to our predicted points & stats feature giving the southern outfit a miserable 10% chance of keeping a clean sheet. Liverpool are expected to score 2.41 goals according to the same feature. For more comparisons to other outfield players see our custom stats table created specifically for DraftKings here.
Lukaku comes into this contest with a very favourable price-tag allowing you to spread the salary cap across your remaining seven players more effectively. The Belgian forward has scored the joint-most goals amongst standout selections for Saturday’s contest with four, only Mitrovic can rival that tally. He has been far from lucky either, with an xG of 4.3 suggesting that he has been getting in all the right positions to warrant the impressive goal-scoring output. He is also weighing in with an additional 0.75pts each week having managed to cross the ball five times in the last five gameweeks, better than any other listed – every little helps. Again it is only Mitrovic that can rival the powerhouse for shots on goal toppling Lukaku by one. With two points on offer for shots on goal this is worth noting. Man. United are predicted to score 1.98 goals according to our predicted points & stats feature and with Lukaku’s goal involvement at 57% the signs look promising for one goal at least, earning his owners 10 points alone.
Average salary per player; $7,375
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:
