Welcome to the 2023-2024 UCL 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. After the rankings, a brief synopsis will help you build your lineups. 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.

Synopsis:
All three matches on the slate are competitive, so we have plenty of players to choose from in DFS. The group at the top of the forwards and midfield pricing can all go off any slate. Zwolinski, Janssen, and de Jong are the three forwards with the best goal-scoring opportunities on the slate, with all three having more than four goals in all competitions. In the midfield, outside of PSV’s Veerman, I think we can go lower in pricing to find value. Players like Nowak, Pineda, and Sorescu are involved in their teams’ attacks, so at their price, they should hit value.
The defense on the slate is slightly weaker because a couple of LBs/RBs are listed as midfielders by DK. But taking that into account, the slate still offers some LB/RBs like Tavernier and Sørensen who I am a fan of. The weaker options on defense do hurt the value options because, outside of Avilva, Jelert, and Racovitan, they are the best options in that order.
I don’t think any of the goalkeepers will keep a clean sheet on the slate. But to me, Benitez, Butez, and Butland should see enough shots to make up for the goals they might give up.
Drago’s Best Bets:
- Rangers vs PSV BTTS Yes
- AEK vs Antwerp under 2.5 Total Goals
- Copenhagen vs Rakow BTTS Yes and Over 2.5 Total Goals
