Tuesday 9/14 UCL Slate and DFS Gameplan

Welcome back for Matchweek One as the Champion’s League returns!

The defending champions Chelsea are by and large the biggest favorite on the slate at -550. However, Juventus comes in a sizable favorite as well in their first Champion’s League match sans Ronaldo. There is one game however where the favorite is only a -105 and the matchup certainly conjures up some recent Champion’s League memories. Information on that and much more can be found below.

Soccer Best Odds

Bayern ML (-105) – 1 Unit “DraftKings Sportsbook”

DraftKings has all sorts of stuff currently factored in the odds including goal odds for 18-year-old star Ansu Fati, who has already been ruled out for this game following a lengthy injury. The current Barcelona lineup/roster is beyond terrible. Their projected front three as of the time of writing are former Sevilla striker Luuk De Jong, Memphis Depay who’s decent, and then awful converted wingback Sergi Roberto.

Even when Barcelona had Messi, Greizmann, Suarez, etc. Bayern still whooped that ass 8-2. Bayern was injured last year during their UCL loss to PSG and other than Serge Gnabry they are completely healthy and everyone who participated in said ass whooping should be out there. I just think they should be a -130 to -140 at least here. I don’t like the double chance as much at -300 so let’s just back Bayern to handle business.

Saturday 9/11 EPL Slate and DFS Gameplan

Welcome back for Matchweek Four of the EPL season!

All eyes will be on Manchester United and whether or not Cristiano Ronaldo will draw a start in his debut but all signs are pointing to it. Both United and Chelsea “FanDuel only” stand out as big favorites, followed by a secondary set of favorites in Arsenal and Manchester City.

Finally, the other three games are much more evenly matched and I’d also expect them to be on the lower-scoring side other than possibly West Ham/Southampton.

Saturday 8/28 EPL Slate and DFS Gameplan

Welcome back for Matchweek Three of the EPL season!

West Ham and Leicester City are the biggest favorites on the slate but their odds are both sub -200 apiece. Therefore, we don’t have to feel we need to pull from a certain team or else. As far as the bets go, I have provided a variety with a couple of parlays crossing over from Saturday to Sunday and one Sunday hedge against one.

Saturday 8/21 EPL Slate and DFS Gameplan

Welcome back for Matchweek Two of the EPL season!

We can definitely expect huge Manchester City chalk and a lot of stacks as huge favorites against open playing Norwich. However, I think we can also deviate as the goal odds on City are fairly spread out. There are other players who will have similar opportunities in other games.

Notable Goal Scoring Odds

Newcastle (+330) at Aston Villa (-125)

Danny Ings (+110), Ollie Watkins (+150), Callum Wilson (+160), Wesley (+160), Anwar El Ghazi (+185), Bertrand Traore (+210), Emiliano Buendia (+220), Leon Bailey (+230), Jaden Philogene-Bidace (+230), Dwight Gayle (+230), Carney Chukwuemeka (+350), Allan Saint-Maximin (+350), Joe Willock (+350)

Saturday 8/14 EPL DFS

Richard Masana 3 years ago

written by Richard Masana

This article focuses on 8/14 EPL Picks for DraftKings and FanDuel Sportsbook and FanDuel and DraftKings Daily Fantasy. We consider tournament tactics, statistics, pricing, and attempt to tackle this highly variable Daily Fantasy format. The goal is to gain an edge on the field at large.

Saturday 8/14 EPL Slate and DFS Gameplan

Welcome back to the beginning of a new EPL season as we return to find normal six-game Saturday slates once again!

Unfortunately, the DraftKings slate will not be featuring the late game Liverpool@Norwich City so will not be able to pull players from all of the games over there.

Of the early games, we can rightfully expect Chelsea to be the most popular/chalkiest team to pull players from. However, as always, in large tournaments, you can opt for a side stack/game stack, etc. Or of course, single out a Chelsea player or two and go from there.

With the Liverpool game on FanDuel, it allows us a few more viable pivots as Liverpool has odds/totals within breathing room of Chelsea’s.

Notable Goal Scoring Odds

Brighton (+150) at Burnley (+215)

Chris Wood (+170), Neal Maupay (+210), Ashley Barnes (+250), Florin Andone (+250), Aaron Connolly (+250), Matej Vydra (+260), Jay Rodriguez (+260), Leandro Trossard (+350), Lewis Richardson (+350), Andi Zeqiri (+350)

Crystal Palace (+1100) at Chelsea (-380)

Tammy Abraham (+115), Kai Havertz (+140), Timo Werner (+140), Christian Pulisic (+160), Faustino Anjorin (+160), Jorginho (+200), Hakim Ziyech (+220), Mason Mount (+230), Callum Hudson-Odoi (+280), Christian Benteke (+350), Wilfried Zaha (+350)

Southampton (+310) at Everton (-110)

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (+105), Moise Kean (+140), Nathan Broadhead (+200), James Rodriguez (+210), Che Adams (+250), Demarai Gray (+260), Anthony Gordon (+280), Michael Obafemi (+300), Theo Walcott (+300), Andros Townsend (+320), Shane Long (+320), Mohamed Elyounoussi (+330), Nathan Redmond (+350), Nathan Tella (+350), James Ward-Prowse (+350)

EPL Best Odds

Chelsea/Liverpool Parlay (-156) – “DraftKings Sportsbook” – “Note: DK Sportsbook has a 33% Boost on a Three Leg Parlay in case you see another leg you want to add”

DraftKings | FanDuel

The Betting Game Plan

You have two teams vastly superior to their opposition and looking to stake their claim against Manchester City in the EPL Title race early on. Crystal Palace is arguably worse with the loss of Andros Townsend and other depth pieces. Meanwhile, Chelsea has had time to gel and is coming off a stunning Champion’s League campaign. While incoming addition Romelu Lukaku has yet to arrive, the Blues shouldn’t need him at home against lowly Palace.

As for Liverpool, getting to face Norwich Week One is a gift. Once the talk of the soccer world two years ago, Liverpool has drifted from a UCL and EPL champion to the very outside rank of Champion’s League and EPL title contenders. Finally healthy outside of Andy Robertson and Virgil Van Dyk, if they can’t put forth a decent showing here and get their season off to a good start, it would be surprising. Norwich makes it’s return to the EPL and it’s Mike D’Antoni-esque open style of play works well in Championship, but leads to some blowouts against EPL caliber teams.

Soccer DFS: Gold Cup Final USA vs Mexico 8/1/21

Matt Vecchio 3 years ago

written by Matt Vecchio

Welcome to my soccer DFS breakdown for the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2021!

Sunday night is the final for the 2021 Gold Cup and it will feature the class of CONCACAF. Nobody is surprised that Mexico and the United States are here in the final as it’s the seventh time they will meet in the final in just the sixteen editions of the Gold Cup. The USA is the only team to win every one of their games and has been very impressive. Team USA has been especially outstanding on the defensive side led by their 27-year-old goalkeeper, Matt Turner ($5,400). Mexico has been equally as stout on defense as the Americans, allowing just one goal in their five games. Alfredo Talavera ($6,600) has started four of Mexico’s five games but has not had the workload of the American keeper. Talavera has only made seven saves and allowed one goal in his four appearances. I think Mexico does get the win on Sunday, but I think turner will make 3-4 saves and only allow one goal in this game. My prediction is Mexico wins 1-0 in 90 minutes, or this game goes to penalties.

Soccer DFS:

Since it seems like we might have a low-scoring game on Sunday, I want to focus on the players who do all the ancillary things instead of goal hunting. There are two players in particular that I want to lock in are Jesus Corona ($10,400) from Mexico and Sebastian Lletget ($7,800) from the USA. Both players are solid wings who are involved in the build-up for their team’s offenses. Corona in particular is a crossing machine with 43 in five games this tournament and Lletget is no slouch with 20 of his own in four games.

Defensive plays:

Shaq Moore ($6,200) and Sam Vines ($6,000) have been solid DFS plays for Team USA on defense with both pushing up the field. Vines and Moore each have goal-scoring potential as both have put one in during this tournament. Even when they don’t score they still put up points. For Mexico, it’s Luis Rodriguez ($7,000) on the backend that I want to use on Sunday. Similar to Moore and Vines, Rodriguez fills up the score sheet with fringe points but also factors into the scoring.

Value Plays:

Looking to find some value, I keep landing on Edson Alvarez ($3,400) from Mexico. Alvarez has not gotten on the score sheet but does average 6.2 DKFP per game. That number is not very high, but he is super cheap and will make it much easier to fit Corona in at captain which is my preferred play. On the US side of the value, I like Miles Robinson ($3,800) as a value play.

Lastly, if you have the salary, Rogelio Funes Mori ($10,200) is Mexico’s best goal scorer this tournament and is someone I will look to fit in. Funes Mori doesn’t just score goals, he can put up some of the aforementioned ancillary points as well. Funes Mori does have three goals but also has 23 shots taken and twelve shots on gold.

Thank you for reading my breakdown for the two different showdown slates for tonight’s Gold Cup games! Make sure to be in discord tonight after lineups release (approximately 1 hour before kickoff) to see if any changes are needed to your lineups!

Soccer DFS: Gold Cup Showdown slates 7/24/21

Matt Vecchio 3 years ago

written by Matt Vecchio

Welcome to my soccer DFS breakdown for the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2021!

Saturday night starts the quarterfinals of the Gold Cup with two very intriguing matchups. First, unbeaten Qatar takes on El Salvador who went 2-0-1 in their three games conceding just once in their loss to Mexico. In the late game, Mexico takes on Honduras, whose only loss was to aforementioned Qatar. Both of these games feature teams with high-scoring offenses, but also stout defenses.

Soccer DFS:

Qatar vs El Salvador

Qatar scored 9 goals in their three games, meanwhile El Salvador only scored four goals. Qatar tended to get things going early, scoring the majority of their goals in the first hour of play. In contrast, El Salvador scored all but one of their goals in the last 15 minutes of play. I am trying to say that this game could come down to the wire.

Qatar:

Qatar is my pick to win this game and potentially keep a clean sheet as well. El Salvador is not a high-powered offense and as I mentioned tends to sit back and wait for their chance to strike late on a tired defensive backline.

One player who is going to be a lock for my builds will be Akram Afif ($11,800, cpt: $17,700). Afif has been the best fantasy option when it comes to Qatar and should be the highest-scoring player in this game. I know he is expensive, but playing him at the captain’s spot will be a contrarian play and the difference-maker. Some value options in this game will make getting Afif at the captain’s spot doable. Abdelaziz Hatim ($6,800) is one of the better plays from Qatar in this matchup. Hatim has been great for Qatar as a wing and has been very involved in their offense. In the group stage, Hatim scored twice, had 8 total shots and two shots on goal. One of the best parts about him is that Hatim is listed as a defenseman but plays the midfield, so if Qatar gets the clean sheet, he picks up an additional 3 points for this. If you think like I do and that Qatar keeps a third straight clean sheet, then playing their keeper, Meeshal Barsham ($7,200), will be a key player in your builds. We need to see the lineup first, but both Boualem Khoukhi ($3,600) and Karim Boudiaf ($3,200) could be vital in getting Afif in as captain.

El Salvador:

Bryan Tamacas ($5,800) is El Salvador’s highest-scoring fantasy player this tournament so far but did not get into their final game, coincidentally their only loss. I think we see Tamacas back in the lineup for El Salvador on Saturday. El Salvador has only conceded one goal in this tournament and in GPP’s I like using their keeper, Mario Gonzalez ($5,200). There is a chance that El Salvador keeps this game close and Gonzalez make 3-4 saves while only letting 1 goal in which make him great value at probably very low ownership. Darwin Ceren ($4,400) is another inexpensive player that has a small upside. If you are looking to play 1-2 cheap players from this side, then you are banking on big production from your higher end Qatar players so you aren’t expecting a huge day out of someone like Ceren anyway. If you do have salary to spend and want to pay up, which I think will be contrarian, then my favorite play is Joshua Perez ($8,000). Perez hasn’t netted a goal or assist yet, he is involved in the offense some. Perez has taken or assisted on good amount of El Salvador’s shots, and since he plays up top there is always a chance he gets one in.

Mexico vs Honduras

Both teams have a lot of fire power and scored plent of goals in their group stage games. Mexico scored four goals in their final two games after getting shutout in their first games. As for Honduras, they scored seven goals in their first two games before being shutout by Qatar in game three.

Mexico:

After not showing up in the game against Trinidad, Orbelin Pineda ($9,000, cpt: 13,500) has been a monster for Mexico. Pineda can both score and get points without getting on the score sheet as well. In the last two games Pineda has drawn 9 fouls, taken 8 shots, and landed 4 on goal. Luis Rodriguez ($8,600, cpt: $12,900) has been the most consistent player in DFS for Mexico and another player I want to make sure I roster on Saturday. Like Pineda, Rodriguez gets his points either by getting a goal or assist or sending 8 crosses in. Both Hector Herrera ($9,400) and Jesus Corona ($10,800) are great high priced plays as well Saturda. As for some cheap options, my favorite is probably Edson Alvarez ($4,600). Another really cheap play is Nelson Araujo ($3,400), but I would reserve him as a last resort for savings.

Honduras:

Romell Quioto ($7,000, cpt: 10,500) is an option I like for the captains spot to be different since I think most will flock to the Mexican side of this game. Quioto has scored three goals so far this tournament, but did pick up an injury in their loss to Qatar, so wee need to see the lineup first. If Quioto is out, Jerry Bengston ($6,000) would be a good cheaper option who can score. Alexander Lopez ($8,200) is the best fantasy option for Honduras, a little more expensive than I’d like to make him the captain, but I plan on rostering him on Saturday. Deybi Flores ($3,800) is a great cheap option from Honduras. He doesn’t do a lot, but he’s played every minute for this team and does manage to get up the field and be involved in the offense.

Soccer DFS: Gold Cup Showdown slates 7/15/21

Jared Levitt 3 years ago

written by Jared Levitt

Welcome to my soccer DFS breakdown for the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2021!

On Thursday night we have the second games from Group B in this tournament with Canada and Haiti kicking things off in Kansas City. In the late game the United States host Martinique in Kansas City as well. Both Canada and the USA won their opening matchups and should take care of business on Thursday setting up a matchup for the group later this weekend.

Soccer DFS:

Haiti vs Canada

Haiti gave up an early goal to the USA on Sunday but couldn’t recover and ended up losing by that score, 1-0. As for Canada, they demolished Martinique with a flurry of goals, three in just 10 minutes to be exact.

Haiti:

If Haiti is to have any chance in this game they will need to find a way to get more chances offensively than the mere three they mustered against the Americans on Sunday. Stephane Lambese ($5,200) is listed as a defenseman on DraftKings, but he played in the midfield and was probably Haiti’s best player last game. Lambese sent in three crosses and took three shots last game and he is probably one of the two players I will be looking to use in this game for Haiti. Derrick Etienne ($5,000) is another option for the Haitians. Ettiene is a cheap option who played center midfield for Haiti but did send in three crosses and took two shots. Carnejy Antoine ($7,800) was the lone striker for Haiti in their first game and while he didn’t produce he could be a low-owned option with goal potential if you have the salary.

Canada:

I will be looking to have a 4 or 5 man Canada build for this game as I just don’t think Haiti can stop this team. I will start in between the woodwork with Maxime Crepeau ($7,600). I believe he will be popular, and he should be. Crepeau and team Canada should earn their second win in this tournament and their first clean sheet. I’m just going to put it out there now, we will have to pay a premium at the captain position in this game, but with the Haitian value I mentioned above we should be just fine in building lineups on Thursday. David Junior Hoilett ($10,400) will be popular on Thursday and for good reason as he is Canada’s best player. I will have exposure but at the captain spot, I want to find someone different, insert Tajon Buchanan ($14,100 – cpt, $9,400). Last week against Martinique, Buchanan had a great performance with an assist, four crosses, 5 fouls drawn, and two shots. Buchanan was all over the board, but another good play that could be more popular is Richie Laryea ($8,100 – cpt, $5,400). Laryea wasn’t as proficient as Buchanan but will probably be under 10% in the captain’s spot. I also have an interest in Jonathan Osorio ($9,000) and Stephen Eustaquio ($8,600) who both netted goals last game.

U.S.A. vs Martinique

This game seems pretty straightforward and similar to the early game. The Americans are still trying to build cohesiveness as a unit but they earned the three points against Haiti. Martinique was no match for Canada and shouldn’t put up much of a fight on Thursday

U.S.A.:

I will be stacking 4-5 Americans on Thursday, I’d stack 6 if DraftKings would let me, but nevertheless, they don’t. Sebastian Lletget ($13,800 – cpt, $9,200) wore the captain’s armband for team USA on Sunday, so why not make him my captain for showdowns? Lletget took corners for the USA on Sunday and had six crosses but also took four shot attempts. Sam Vines ($8,800) scored the Americans’ only goal on his only shot but did add four crosses. I think Vines could carry some ownership but I will not force him in because there are better options in my opinion. Shaq Moore ($6,200) is someone I would rather play from the team since he seemed to be more involved in the offense. If you take out Vines’ goal these two would have had similar point totals but for $2.6K less in salary. Both Kellyn Acosta ($7,600) and Gyasi Zardes ($10,800) are two players I have an interest in on Thursday. Whoever ends up in goal for Team USA will be in my lineup as well, Matt Turner ($8,000) started last game.

Martinique:

Emmanuel Riviere ($6,400) scored Martinique’s only goal last game so he will be an option for me on Thursday. Aside from scoring his goal, Riviere also added three shots with two landing on goal. Outside of Riviere, Yann Thimion ($5,400) is someone who could pick up the fringe points (crosses, fouls drawn). If you want to take a risk and pay up for a Martinique player, Kevin Fortune ($8,200) played up top for Martinique. Lastly, Daniel Herelle ($4,800) plays on the outside wing and could also be in one for a day similar to Thimion.
