Welcome back to “The Kick-Off”! We have a very small slate with many of you familiar to it if you played last season. The slate revolves around big favorites Chelsea -440, followed by the big ceiling potential of Brentford -170.
With there only being three matches, it makes lineup building extremely volatile in terms of shipping a GPP. Typically you have to think in reverse of what would happen in order to have a standing chance on the smaller slates.
If you have any questions on today's slate, bankroll management, GPP strategy, Cash game strategy, or anything else don’t hesitate to email me at [email protected] or via Twitter @df_solutions or on “SLACK”.

The Kick-Off - EPL Matchweek 11 - Part One
[H] Brentford (-170) at [A] Norwich City (+480): Total: 2 1/2u
The hosts are expected to win this match with relative ease, however, with their sudden drop in form the Canaries could have a chance to break their streak. Neither club is performing well at the moment and it is going to take some effort from either side to break the deadlock. This could become a rather boring game, but it also has the potential to be exciting.
Expected Outcome: 2-0 Brentford

[H] Chelsea (-440) at [A] Burnley (+1200): Total: 2 1/2o
Chelsea has won five of the last six meetings with Burnley while outscoring the visitors 18-4. A similar storyline is looking to develop here, even without the likes of Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku. The Clarets have had a nice surprise with Cornet’s performances since his arrival, but it may not be enough to break down the stubborn Chelsea defense. Per FanDuel Sportsbook, Chelsea is currently “-122” to keep a clean sheet.
Expected Outcome: 3-0 Chelsea

GPP: Cornet($5.9K)
[H] Crystal Palace (+152) at [A] Wolverhampton (+202): Total: 2o
The Eagles could not be flying any higher after they beat Manchester City 2-0 last weekend. Now they get to host an in-form Wolves side who has won four of their last five matches, albeit by slim margins. Both sides are hoping for additional offense, as well as the defense closing up the gaps. This looks to be an exciting match with a few goals from each side.
Expected Outcome: 2-2
