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?

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 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?

First time with DFS? Be sure to read our free NBA Ebook on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered.   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...

Daily Fantasy Soccer Picks for the UEFA Champions League - DraftKings 3/8/16 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_ The Champions League returns in midweek for half of the second leg ties of the round of 16. On Tuesday, Real Madrid host Roma and will inevitably make the next round after winning 2-0 in Rome. On the same day, Gent travel to Germany to face Wolfsburg and on Wednesday Zenit face Benfica at the Piter Arena in Russia. The final Champions League fixture of the week takes place at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea face Ligue 1 champions, PSG in what should be an enthralling encounter.

First time with DFS? Be sure to read our free NBA Ebook on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered.   Goalkeepers Keylor Navas – DK 3,800 Opponent – Roma My number one choice in goal for the Champions League slate in midweek is Real Madrid goalkeeper, Keylor Navas. I’ve no idea why Navas isn’t the most expensive goalkeeper this slate, but he should be in my opinion. He’s averaged 10.8 points per match, only Kevin Trapp and Juri Lodygin have averaged more, and Navas has the easiest fixture according to the bookmaker’s odds. This is significant because goalkeepers are the only players to receive points for a victory and they also receive five points if they keep a clean sheet. In the first leg of this tie, Real Madrid won and Navas kept a clean sheet and subsequently finished the game with 15 points. Juri Lodygin – DK 3,900 Opponent – Benfica Zenit Saint Petersburg goalkeeper, Juri Lodygin is priced favourably against Benfica and is a good alternative to Keylor Navas in goal. Zenit are at home against Benfica and are therefore the most likely winners of this match, at least that’s what the bookmakers think and Zenit have notably won their last three Champions League home matches. A clean sheet may also be on the cards for Lodygin because Zenit are a good side defensively, whereas Benfica haven’t been full of goals in the Champions League. Finally Lodygin has averaged an impressive...

Really excited to have him on board and you can give him a Twitter follow @RobBanner_ In midweek each side in the top four failed to win which has made this Premier League campaign even more exciting. This season’s surprise package, Leicester City are three points clear at the top of the League and they are followed by North London rivals Tottenham and Arsenal who face each other on Saturday. This weekend’s results could potentially have a huge impact on the League standings and Saturday’s EPL slate should make watching the action even more entertaining.

First time with DFS? Be sure to read our free NBA Ebook on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered.   Goalkeepers Artur Boruc – DK 3,500 Opponent – Newcastle United At just $3,500, Artur Boruc is my goalkeeper of choice for Saturday’s EPL slate. The Bournemouth keeper comes into this fixture off the back of scoring 12 and 7 points against Southampton and Watford. Boruc faces the slightly easier task of Newcastle United this weekend who’ve only scored 27 goals all season, only Aston Villa have scored fewer. Goalkeepers receive five points for a clean sheet and five for a victory and you wouldn’t put these past Bournemouth who are coming into this match full of confidence after beating Southampton 2-0. Joe Hart – DK 4,500 Opponent – Aston Villa Joe Hart is a slightly more pricey option than Artur Boruc but there’s good reason for that. First of all, he’s averaged a respectable 7.1 points per game and we’d expect him to outscore his average against Aston Villa who sit bottom of the Premier League table. As I mentioned above, goalkeeper receive five points for a clean sheet and another five for a victory, both of which are likely to happen. According to the bookmakers odds, Manchester City have a 83.33% chance of beating Aston Villa and a 58% chance of keeping a clean sheet, thus making Joe Hart a good goalkeeping option.   Defenders Charlie Daniels – DK 4,200 Opponent – Newcastle United Charlie Daniels has been superb for...

Daily Fantasy Soccer Picks for English Premier League - DraftKings 3/02/16 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 five Premier League matches taking place on Wednesday and this has resulted in a good opportunity to get involved on DraftKings. A word of caution before you read my recommendations. Some of the teams that are involved played as recently as Sunday and consequently may rest some players, therefore as always, I’d advise you wait for team news before confirming your line ups.

First time with DFS? Be sure to read our free NBA Ebook on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered.   Goalkeeper Petr Cech – DK 4,200 Opponent – Swansea City Petr Cech is the obvious choice in goal for Wednesday’s Premier League slate. The Arsenal goalkeeper is valued at $4,200 when playing at home against Swansea who sit 16th in the Premier League table. Goalkeepers are the only players who receive points for a victory and Arsenal are the most likely winners of the teams playing on Wednesday. Goalkeepers also receive five points if they keep a clean sheet and Arsenal have only conceded 26 goals this campaign, only Tottenham have conceded fewer. Furthermore, Swansea have struggled to score goals this season, they’ve only scored 26 times, only bottom of the table, Aston Villa have scored fewer goals. Finally, Petr Cech has averaged 10.2 points per game this season, that’s more than any other goalkeeper available this slate. Heurelho Gomes – DK 3,400 Opponent – Manchester United As a cheaper alternative to Petr Cech, you may wish to consider Watford goalkeeper, Heurelho Gomes who is priced at $3,400. Watford do have a relatively tough match against Manchester United, however they’re far from prolific goalscorers and are without Wayne Rooney. Goalkeepers do receive two points each time they make a save and Gomes will inevitably be in the thick of the action at Old Trafford. This season Gomes has averaged 7.6 points per game and this makes him a good addition to your team at a cheap price.   Defenders Phil Bardsley – DK 2,100 Opponent...
