Each gameweek we will go position by position and rank our favorite plays. You will see our core plays, pivots, and value plays at each position in the rankings. After the rankings, a brief synopsis will help you build your lineups. Lastly, you will find Drago’s Best Bets for the top bets of the weekend. If you are new to soccer DFS, you need to know that lineups don’t come out until around 1 hour before 10 a.m. (Eastern) lock. Ensure you are around pre-lock in our discord for any lineup updates.

Synopsis:
Spurs are the clear favorite on this slate and have the highest total. Because of this, we want exposure, but I expect them to carry some ownership. In GPPs, I will still play Maddison and Son, but that may be it for the F/M position. Bissouma is a good util play if that is all the salary you have left. My first way to go in GPPs is Fulham stacks of Jimenez/Pereira/Robinson, you can use Harry Wilson in place of Pereira if you have the extra salary.
The Brighton/ManU game has a huge total (3.5) so this is also a game I will be stacking. Hojlund is a great cheap option IF Martial starts. Martial is the man who would sub in for Hojlund so if he is in the starting XI we will lock in Hojlund to ManU stacks. Mitouma/March/Pedro is my Brighton stack. Using Bruno with Hojlund is the preferred ManU stack, but after I see their lineup I will post more in Discord.
Lastly, Villa stacks are a great way to go. I have practically their entire backline in the rankings, but Digne is a must in SE and GPPs. Ollie Watkins and John McGinn are the best options, but Douglas Luiz is a great GPP play as well since he takes PKs and NO ONE ever plays him. Don’t be afraid to use Johnstone even if you use Digne, but not against any of the offensive players. Digne is on set pieces so he has an incredibly safe floor even if Villa doesn’t score more than once.
