Welcome to the 2023-2024 UCL Round of 16 Rankings!
For each slate, 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. Lastly, you will find my Best Bets for the top bets of the week.
If you are new to soccer DFS, starting lineups don’t get released until an hour before lock, so stay locked into the Discord for any pivots.

Quick Slate Notes:
- This slate features two evenly matched games.
- Of the two, the PSV against Dortmund game should be the higher scoring of the two, as the Inter against Atletico game features two sides that are strong defensively.
- Unlike last week’s slates, there isn’t a slate-breaking player like Haaland or Mbappe that you need to decide on using or not.
- Veerman, Brandt, and Martinez are my favorite M/F players on the slate. All three are heavily involved in their team’s style of play. Griezmann is a core play for me, but he would be fourth for me as Atletico isn’t the best attacking side and they are taking on an Inter team that can neutralize any attacker.
- Dimarco is the best pay-up spot for DraftKings on the slate, but I think the other five listed in core and pivots are also in spots to run up and down the field to help get fantasy points. On FanDuel he is a much better play since he is priced a lot lower.
- Sommer and Oblak are the two best GK options. Both of them have defensive-minded gameplay, which will limit the chances of either GK getting bombarded with shots. My lean is Sommer, with Inter being at home. Benitez is my risky keeper for similar reasons as Sommer, as PSV is at home, and I do think if either side pulls off the win, it’ll be PSV and not Dortmund.
Drago’s Best Bets:
- PSV Over 1.5 Team Total
- PSV vs Dortmund Over 2.5 Goals
- Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid BTTS Yes
