Daily Fantasy Soccer Picks for the Uefa Champions League - DraftKings 3/15/16 Editor's note: Welcome Rob Banner who'll be covering Soccer (Football to all you Non-Americans) for us. Really excited to have him on board and you can give him a Twitter follow @RobBanner_ Last week Real Madrid, PSG, Wolfsburg and Benfica booked their places in the Champions League quarter finals and four more teams will do the same this week. The four matches taking place should make for a good slate and provide an opportunity to make a profit. On Tuesday, Atletico Madrid face PSV and Dynamo Kiev will travel to England to play Manchester City. A day later, the Champions League favourites Barcelona host Arsenal at the Nou Camp and Bayern Munich host the Italian champions, Juventus. Playing other daily fantasy sports like NBA or NHL?

Goalkeepers Jan Oblak – DK 3,900 Opponent – PSV There are a number of good options in goal in this slate, but Jan Oblak offers the best value at $3,900. The Atletico Madrid goalkeeper has averaged 9.5 points per game, but I suspect he can outscore his average against PSV, who are the worst team remaining in the competition. As I’ve alluded to in my previous previews, goalkeepers receive five points if their side win and five points if they keep a clean sheet. There’s a very good chance that Oblak receives both sets of five points, because Atletico Madrid are the overwhelming favourites to win this match. According to the bookmakers odds (which tend to be very accurate), there’s a 54% chance that Atletico Madrid beat PSV and keep a clean sheet. Oleksandr Shovkovskiy – DK 3,100 Opponent – Manchester City A cheaper alternative to Jan Oblak in goal is Dynamo Kyiv goalkeeper, Oleksandr Shovkovskiy who costs just $3,100. Manchester City come into this fixture with a 3-1 lead and I suspect they’ll defend this lead, therefore Shavkovskiy may be a wise choice in goal. Manuel Pellegrini’s side are also struggling to score goals at the moment, they failed to score against one of the worse sides in the Premier League on Saturday, Norwich. Personally, I’ll be fielding Oblak in my side but...
Daily Fantasy Soccer Picks for the English Premier League – DraftKings 3/12/16
Daily Fantasy Soccer Picks for the English Premier League - DraftKings 3/12/16 Editor's note: Welcome Rob Banner who'll be covering Soccer (Football to all you Non-Americans) for us. Really excited to have him on board and you can give him a Twitter follow @RobBanner_ There are just two Premier League matches taking place in Saturday’s 3pm because a number of teams are still in the FA Cup which also takes place this weekend. Despite this, there is still a $12,000 prize fund up for grabs as Bournemouth host Swansea City and Southampton face Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium. Admittedly it isn’t going to be the most exciting weekend in Premier League history, but hopefully it’ll be a profitable. Playing other daily fantasy sports like NBA or NHL?

Goalkeepers Artur Boruc – DK 3,600 Opponent – Swansea City Artur Boruc is the cheapest goalkeeper available that is going to start on Saturday, but he shouldn’t be. Of the four teams playing in this slate, Bournemouth are the most likely winners with a 52% chance of winning according to the bookmakers odds. This is significant because goalkeepers receive 5 points for a victory, and keepers are also awarded 5 points for a clean sheet which also has a good chance of occurring. Artur Boruc has only conceded one goal in his last three fixtures and Swansea are one of the lowest scoring Premier League sides, only Aston Villa have scored fewer goals this campaign. All in all, Boruc is the cheapest goalkeeper that will start on Saturday, but he should be the most expensive in my opinion. Jack Butland – DK 3,700 Opponent – Southampton An alternative option to Artur Boruc is Stoke City goalkeeper, Jack Butland who is similarly priced at $3,700. Butland has had an excellent season so far, he’s averaged 8.3 points per game which is better than the majority of Premier League keepers. Admittedly, Stoke City have a tricky match against Southampton, but they are at home and Ronald Koeman’s side are not prolific goalscorers. Southampton haven’t scored two or more goals in a match in their last seven games and they haven’t score two or more goals in...
