Tuesday 10/20 UCL DFS and Best Bet

This article focuses on 10/20 UCL 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 so we can gain an edge on the field at large.

Tuesday 10/20 UCL Slate and DFS Gameplan

The Champions League has returned for the 2020 season and we begin with a six game slate beginning at 3:00 p.m. ET. Both sites have pumped up the contests a bit for what is otherwise a slow Tuesday and Wednesday in the world of DFS.

Barcelona sticks out like a sore thumb. They come into their matchup against the Hungarian Champions, Ferencvaros FC, as massive -1430 favorites. For comparison’s sake, the next closest favorites are RB Leipzig, who are at -435 for their matchup with Turkish Champions, Istanbul Basakhesir.

This means Messi will be nearly universally owned in all formats. His attacking mates Ansu Fati, Antoine Greizmann, and Phillipe Coutinho, will be popular as well.

As far as lineup construction, in cash you can just run Barcelona and even in tournaments, it is hard to get around Messi. It might make sense to just eat Messi and pivot from there. Players from RB Leipzig and PSG would be the next in play. Be sure to check players prices on both sites and take advantage as there are some tremendous disparities.

The Betting Game Plan

Over the weekend, Manchester United was able to pour it on late against Newcastle to end their cold spell in the English Premier League. However, given United’s struggles, it is strange that we see PSG below -200 here, hosting them at the Parc Des Princes.

Manchester United did have a controversial elimination of an injury riddled PSG side in the Champion’s League a couple years back, but I doubt that there are any lingering effects. With the trio of Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, and Angel Di Maria all healthy, PSG should be able to handle a Manchester United side that has routinely struggled with mediocre EPL competition this season.
