Pasko’s DFS picks for UEFA Round of 16: End of Leg 1

DraftKings features several contests for the last four matches of the Leg 1 of the UEFA Championship League, Round of 16.

Two matches will be played on Tuesday, February 20. They are:

  • Bayern Munich – Besiktas
  • Chelsea – Barcelona.

The remaining two games to be played on Wednesday, February 21 are:

  • Sevilla – Manchester United
  • Shakhtar Donetsk – Roma.

Considering how poorly Chelsea has played recently, it behooves us to load our roster with Blaugrana players. Bayern is also highly favorite to win.

However almost everyone on both Barcelona and Bayer is expensive. The following four players have a reasonable salary and may help you stay under the $50, 000 salary cap.

Romelu Lukaku ($8,000) – Forward – Manchester United: MNU should prevail against Seville.

Edin Dzeko ($6,900) – Forward – Roma: The most prolific Roma scorer.

Arturo Vidal ($5,500) – Midfield – Bayern: He is back from injury.

Samuel Umtiti ($3,100) – Defender – Barcelona: A possible clean sheet against Chelsea.
