We are into the KNOCKOUT ROUNDS! The schedule has two matches each day. On the DraftKings’ slate for Saturday, June 30th
Argentina vs France 10:00 AM Eastern
Portugal vs Uruguay 2:00 PM Eastern
Two of the world’s top goal scorers will be on the field today – Ronaldo and Messi. No surprise that their price tags reflect this. Ironically, neither of their teams are favored to win. Even though Ronaldo and Messi will face top defenses, both are the go-to for their teams. With goals being ten points and assists worth five points, it’s tough to fade Ronaldo or Messi.
The standard lineup at DraftKings consists of two forwards, two midfielders, two defenders, one goalkeeper, and one utility player.
Uruguay M Carlos Sánchez ($6800): Sánchez may not be the player sliding across the field but his ability to create chances is why the moderately priced midfielder has 14.1 FPPG boasted by two assists, two shots, and 13 crosses for the World Cup.
France D Djibril Sidibe ($5200): Sidibe returned to play after being out with a knee injury and is expected to replace Benjamin Pavard. In Sidibe’s one match of the tournament, the French defender accumulated nine points with three secondary assists and six crosses.
