DraftKings DFS UCL Strategies Podcast for Wednesday, Jan. 7
We take on Wednesday's Premier League DraftKings DFS slate for January 7, using projections to break down the top picks, lineup strategies and values for the upcoming slate. Whether you're playing cash games or tournaments, the below projections can help put together lineups.
During the holidays, minutes are more impossible to project than usual. Because of the influx of matches, some managers will randomly sub out player at half time, while others will grind their players into the ground and go full 90s with the idea of rotating in the next game.
Things like Antoine Semenyo moving to Manchester City and who starts in the front four for Everton could decide this slate.
As usual, I tried my best to incorporate minutes projections, but without lineups confirmed, it's all a guessing game.
If interested, these can also be used in RotoWire's DFS Optimizer.
