DraftKings features several contests for the first four matches of the Leg 2 of the UEFA Championship League, Round of 16.
Liverpool – Porto and Paris Saint-Germain – Real Madrid will be played on Tuesday, March 7. Manchester City – Basel and Tottenham – Juventus will be played Wednesday, March 8.
It is unlikely that Manchester City and Liverpool will field too many first stringers after the wins in Portugal and Switzerland during Leg 1. Let’s stay away from the Reds and the Citizens and fill our DFS roster with the Parisians and Juventus Zebras. Both PSG and Juventus are not as bad as the Leg 1 scores indicate, promising lively, high scoring Leg 2 matches. I will build my roster around these four names.
Edinson Cavani ($7,600) – Forward – PSG: Cavani, resting over the weekend, will be ready for the match with Real. He has something to prove after the game in Madrid.
Paulo Dybala ($8,200) – Forward – Juventus: Juventus’ star player Dybala is back from injury that kept him out of the first match.
Angel Di Maria ($9,100) – Midfield/ Forward– PSG: Di Maria is replacing the injured Neymar.
Alex Sandro ($4,600) – Defender – Juventus: Sandro is again a must start; he has most assists for his team from the left side.
