This article focuses on 10/28 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.
Wednesday 10/28 UCL Slate and DFS Gameplan
We are wrapping up Matchweek 2/6 of the Champion’s League Group Stages with a six game slate beginning at 4:00 p.m. ET.
Originally, this slate was supposed to feature Messi vs. Ronaldo, but as CR7 is still out with Covid-19, only one of the two superstars will be playing.
Dortmund is the biggest favorite on the slate at -278, followed by Sevilla at -182. Outside of that, every other team is plus odds to win.
As a result, it makes more sense to try to pick out pieces than stack a team other than the two mentioned above.
On FanDuel, both Erling Haaland and Jadon Sancho seem cheap. DraftKings also has a number of pricing discrepancies as well. Most of our exploitations are listed below, but be sure to price compare, if playing on both sites.
UCL Best Bet
PSG/Dortmund, PSG/Chelsea or PSG/Dortmund/Chelsea – DraftKings Sportsbook*
The Betting Game Plan
I’d go a little light here betting wise, maybe 1-1.2 units. However, I would build around PSG and add on Dortmund and/or Chelsea. An alternative approach would be to bet on the PSG ML with either a Neymar or Kylian Mbappe anytime goal.
