UCL DFS Picks DraftKings + FanDuel Lineups | Nov. 25
These are listed in order of what I believe are the top plays, including median projection, floor and upside.
UCL DFS Picks: Forward/Midfield
Romelu Lukaku (DraftKings $8,000 FanDuel $19)
Alexis Sanchez (DraftKings $6,400 FanDuel $14)
In the chance that Alexis Sanchez is out for this matchup, Lautaro Martinez would take his spot in my priority list. Inter Milan has a revenge game against Madrid after Los Blancos edged them out 3-2. The difference is Madrid is now the depleted team with Karim Benzema and Sergio Ramos expected out.
Romelu Lukaku will look to exploit a defense that allows over two goals a game with ease without their captain in the Champions League. He is contributing on 47% of the club’s overall scoring, with three shots per game and an on-target accuracy clip of 42.9%. Sanchez has seen limited minutes for the club but posted a goal and two assists. If he starts, he should get a full-game run, and he should see his shot attempts and chance-creation volume jump. Archaf Hakimi is also a dangerous option on the wing. Hakimi left Madrid to sign with a club that fits his positional preference and would look to make a statement against the club that let him go.
Joao Felix (DraftKings $10,300 FanDuel $18)
Atletico sees an opportunity to secure advancement in Champions League Group A. They likely cannot catch Bayern Munich but can solidify the second seed against a Loko Moscow club that is allowing an expected goals differential of -1.8. With Luis Suarez’s status up in the air, Atletico will lean on Joao Felix, who has contributed on 38% of his club’s overall scoring. The Portuguese international averages 2.12 shots, 1.87 drawn fouls and 3.12 chances created per game. His volume should see a boost without attackers up front to share the load. Beware the price tag because Felix is simply goal or bust, and at this price one might not be enough.
Sergio Oliveira (DraftKings $5,200 FanDuel $14)
There are solid plays around today like Diogo Jota, Sadio Mane, Robert Lewandowski and Dusan Tadic. How do we fit these prices? The answer could be FC Porto. FC Porto look to solidify Champions League Group C advancement. They take on a Marseille club that has been overmatched with an expected goals differential of -3.5. Port looks to keep rolling after their 3-0 dismantling of this club a few weeks ago.
I like the attack of Porto in this matchup from Luis Diaz across to Jesus Corona. The price for Sergio Oliveira seems off. He leads the team in shot volume with 2.66 per start and has 43.8% on-target accuracy and four goals. He is contributing on 38% of the club’s overall scoring, and averages 5.66 crosses and 2.66 won tackles/interceptions per game. The midfield winger allows salary relief and is one of the top values on the slate.
Other Options: Luis Diaz (DraftKings $6,500, FanDuel $14), Moussa Marega (DraftKings $6,900, FanDuel $17), Dominik Szoboszlai (DraftKings $6,800, FanDuel $18), Dusan Tadic (DraftKings $10,800, FanDuel $20), Diogo Jota (DraftKings $9,700, FanDuel $19), Duvan Zapata (DraftKings $8,100, FanDuel $18), Alejandro Gomez (DraftKings $7,200, FanDuel $17).
UCL DFS Picks: Defender
Andreas Ulmer (DraftKings $4,500 FanDuel $9)
Andreas Ulmer will have his hands full trying to break the Bayern Munich pressure in the defensive half. The wingback has done well so far in these Champions League matches and can contribute offensively. He does not need goals to surpass this asking price, with an average of 4.33 crosses per game, 3.66 won tackles/interceptions and two shots. He has consistently posted a solid floor, even against this same opponent, and his price is significantly lower than two top plays in the Other Options section below.
Renan Lodi (DraftKings $5,500 FanDuel $14)
Renan Lodi is an offensive threat when he sees the field for Atletico. He has the plus match-up and sees his open-play crosses lead to assisted shot and goal-contribution upside. He can draw fouls and is a defensive ball hawk on the wing.
Other Options: Andrew Robertson (DraftKings $6,500, FanDuel $14), Kieran Trippier (DraftKings $6,400, FanDuel $13), Paulinho (DraftKings $3,900, FanDuel $12).
Goalkeeper
Agustin Marchesin (DraftKings $4,500 FanDuel $10)
Samir Handanovic (DraftKings $4,900 FanDuel $9)
