DraftKings LoL LCS: Friday Cheat Sheet

Just like teams are adjusting to the new meta, I too am adjusting to the new DFS meta so far this season. Last year it was always a good strategy to take favorites in your DFS roster as winning teams would end up with the players with high fantasy scores. So far this season has been more snowbally, with favored teams winning quickly and closer games bringing out more fantasy points. On Day Three the games with the potential to be closer include Elements vs. GIANTS!, ROCCAT vs. Splyce, and OG vs Vitality. Being on the winning side of these games will likely put you in the money on Day Four.

Daily Player Recommendations:

Top Lane:
Steve (EL vs. GIA, $6,000): Steve had a good day on Day Three, finishing with over 37 fantasy points. This is a game Elements should win, but may wind up being a bit back and forth like yesterday's matchup with ROCCAT. If that happens Steve should be able to once again rack up the fantasy points.

Other Suggestions: Gamsu (FNC vs. UoL, $6,700), freddy122 (ROC vs. SPY, $6,500)

Jungle:
Airwaks (ROC vs. SPY, $6,000): Airwaks showed off an aggressive style yesterday against Elements, pressuring lanes and looking for gank opportunities early and often. That same style may pay off even more today against a weaker Splyce team. Look for Airwaks to put up solid numbers in a win.

Other Suggestions: Spirit (FNC vs. UoL, $6,100), Jankos (H2k vs. G2, $6,300)

Middle Lane:
Betsy (ROC vs. SPY, $7,400): Betsy was ROCCAT's main carry yesterday and was able to pick up solid fantasy numbers despite the fact that his team lost. Today he faces Sencux in the mid lane, a player who has looked shaky in his limited time on the stage. Look for Betsy to enjoy a good game again today and for ROCCAT to pick up a victory.

Other Suggestions: Febiven (FNC vs. UoL $7,700), Eika (EL vs. GIA, $6,900)

ADC:
MrRallez (EL vs. GIA, $7,300): Rallez was dominant in yesterday's game, picking up multiple kills in team fights and leading Elements to victory. I'd expect a similar situation today against GIANTS! in a game that could turn into a bloodbath. Rallez should be a good bet to put up big fantasy numbers once again.

Other Suggestions: Zven (OG vs VIT, $7,900), Safir (ROC vs. SPY, $7,900)

Support:
Sprattel (EL vs. GIA, $5,300): Hope for Sprattel to use Alistar once again Friday, as he looked great on the champion yesterday en route to 100% kill participation and 39 fantasy points. His cheap price makes him a must use today as he should be a major factor in helping EL win.

Other Suggestions: Noxiak (FNC vs UoL, $6,100), Mithy (OG vs. VIT, $5,800)

Team:
Fnatic vs. Unicorns of Love ($4,800): This is a game Fnatic should win and it may turn into an objective based game. This type of game is usually what you look for when deciding on your team as the more objectives, the more fantasy points you get from this role.
