9/7 UCL Top Plays
Forward
DraftKings Forward
Ousmane Dembélé – Barcelona – $8,500 – Barcelona comes into this game as the biggest favorite on the slate. Barcelona should win this game by a good amount of goals, and Dembélé will be involved in the score sheet by either scoring or assisting the 2nd highest-priced forward on this slate Robert Lewandowski $11,200.
FanDuel Forward
Robert Lewandowsi – Barcelona – $24 – As mentioned with Dembélé, Barcelona comes into this game as heavy favorites. So far this season the team has scored 11 goals with the man nicknamed LewanGOALski netting 5 of them. With the favorable matchup, he has the potential to dictate the slate like Haaland and Mbappé did on Tuesday.
Pivots:
DraftKings – Ferrán Jutglà – Club Brugge – $4,200 “low-end”, Lautaro Martinez – Inter Milan – $6,300 “mid-range”, Harry Kane – Tottenham – $12,600 “high-end”
FanDuel – Hirving Lozano – Napoli – $14 “low-end”, Alvaro Morata – Atletico Madrid – $19 “mid-range”, Harry Kane – Tottenham – $21 “high-end”
Midfielder and FanDuel Second Forward/Midfielder
DraftKings Midfielder
Piotr Zielinski – Napoli – $8,200 – The Napoli midfielder could have not asked for a better start to the season than the one he has had in the team’s first 5 Serie A games. Through the first 5 games of the season, Zielinski scored a goal and assisted 3, with an average of 4.5 chances created per 90 minutes.
FanDuel Second Forward/Midfielder
Thomas Müller – Bayern Munich – $19 – I love this spot for Müller at a discount compared to the top of the slate. This should be a back-and-forth match with both teams creating chances. Müller comes into this game with the second most chances created on his team as well as a goal and 2 assists.
Pivots:
DraftKings – Andreas Skov Olsen – Club Brugge – $3,100 “low-end”, Joshua Kimmich – Bayern Munich – $7,500 “mid-range”, Mohamed Salah – Liverpool – $9,300 “high-end”.
FanDuel – Andreas Skov Olsen – Club Brugge – $15 “low-end”, Luis Diaz – Liverpool – $19 “mid-range”, Harry Kane – Tottenham – $21 “high-end”
DraftKings Defender
Alphonso Davies – Bayern Munich – $5,300 – The Bayern defender doesn’t have the best chances to grab the valuable clean sheet bonus, but with the potential back and forth game between Inter and Bayern, he will have plenty of attacking opportunities to make up for it. His counterpart to the right Benjamin Pavard $4800 is also in play. Both average just under 2 chances created per 90 minutes.
Pivots:
Jules Koundé/Gerard Piqué – Barcelona – $4,000/$3,000 “low-end”, Nahuel Molina – Atletico Madrid – $5,800 “mid-range”, Trent Alexander-Arnold – Liverpool – $6,600 “high-end”
FanDuel Defender
Ivan Perisic – Tottenham – $14– The midfielder who gets listed as a wingback on FanDuel has been creating many scoring opportunities for his team. You can the best of both worlds with him on this slate, he can produce points attacking while also having the possibility of getting the clean sheet bonus against Marseille.
Pivots:
Alphonso Davies – Bayern Munich – $14, Nahuel Molina – Atletico Madrid – $9 “low-end”
DraftKings/FanDuel Goalie
Marc-Andre ter Stegen – Barcelona – $6,000/$15 – ter Stegen is not going to face many shots from Plzen but he easily has the best clean sheet and win odds on the slate. You can also plug in Arnau Torres if he starts instead of ter Stegen.
Pivot: Simon Mignolet – Club Brugge -$4,600/$9, Jan Oblak- Atletico Madrid – $5,400/ $12
UCL Top Bet
Bet – Parlay – Tottenham ML/ Atletico Madrid “Draw No Bet” (+104) DraftKings – 1 Unit
