DraftKings LoL: Friday Cheat Sheet
Splyce are the heaviest favorite according to DraftKings pricing, but after an awful Week 1 I don't think I'd pay up for anyone on the team. Fnatic, in my mind, are actually the biggest favorites, so I'll be focusing most of my lineup there and on cheap Vitality members.
Top Lane: Cabochard (VIT vs. SPY, $5,700)
sOAZ has the higher floor, but Cabochard has the higher ceiling. He wants to be a carry for Vitality, but sometimes struggle to take over games. I prefer him to Djoko, who I'd have to use in the jungle role if I used sOAZ.
Jungle: Amazing (FNC vs. GIA , $6,600)
I'm going with a heavy Fnatic stack today in this easy matchup against Giants. I prefer Amazing to Djoko and Trashy, and the floor should be 60+ points.
Middle Lane: Caps (FNC vs. GIA, $7,700)/Nukeduck (VIT vs. SPY, $6,300)
Caps proved last week that he's up to the task of taking on LCS mid laners, playing extremely well against G2. He looks like another talented EU mid laner and he finds himself in a great matchup against Giants. Nukeduck did more damage per minute than any other mid laner a week ago despite Vitality playing poorly. After watching how bad Splyce were last week, Nukeduck has a chance to help lead Vitality to an upset win.
ADC: Rekkles (FNC vs. GIA, $7,700)
Rekkles fits into the Fnatic stack after picking up 80+ points a week ago. This should be an easy 2-0 for Fnatic and while paying up for ADC's at the moment isn't a must, I like Rekkles to score the most points in his role Friday.
Support: Hachani (VIT vs. SPY, $4,600)/Jesiz (FNC vs. GIA, $5,900)
Hachani is the upside play and if everything goes right for Vitality he can pick up double digit assists in every game they manage to win. I'm banking on Splyce being sloppy, which could lead to a decent assist total in losses as well. Usually I wouldn't use two supports, but Jesiz feels like a guarantee for 20+ assists in what should be a Fnatic 2-0.
Team: FNC vs. GIA ($5,300)
I'd be extremely surprised if Fnatic don't 2-0 this series quite handily. They looked very strong against a top-tier G2 team a week ago and I don't see any trouble for them against Giants on Friday.
