DraftKings LoL: Friday Cheat Sheet
I really don't care for these two game slates, especially on days like today where I give neither underdog much of a chance. Cheap exposure for me is going to come from Giants, not that I think they'll win a game, but that I think they'll be lower owned on Friday's slate. You need some contrarian plays in tournaments to win them on a day when only four teams are playing.
Top Lane: Flaxxish (GIA vs. G2, $4,900)
G2's weakest point is their top lane and while Flaxxish hasn't been great, he does have the fourth highest assist total among European top laners. Expect and Odoamne find themselves too expensive for use in my opinion.
Jungle: Trick (G2 vs. GIA, $7,200)/Memento (GIA vs. G2, $4,600)
Trick is always in play as a carry jungler, especially in this great matchup. You be surprised to know that Memento actually has more kills and a higher kill participation so far this season than Trick. He isn't in a great situation, but his price is nothing compared to the potential he has if Giants can sneak a game.
Middle Lane: Perkz (G2 vs. GIA, $8,100)/NighT (GIA vs. G2, $5,500)
Like Trick, not much needs to be said about Perkz as he often finds himself in play. NighT is middle of the pack in both kills and assists, but is by far the best carry threat Giants have. He'll need to step up in a major way if Giants can take even a game off of G2.
ADC: Zven (G2 vs. GIA, $8,200)
Zven is the safest bet to be worth his salary and I prefer him to Nuclear. He's the best ADC in Europe so you don't need much justification, especially in this easy matchup. If you need to save money, you can move to Nuclear or Steeelback, but both rank pretty lowly in damage share and kill participation on their teams.
Support: Chei (H2K vs. VIT, $6,000)
You can save a bit of money by using Chei over Mithy and I'd expect similar production. Despite only having 61 percent kill participation, Chei leads the EU LCS in assists with 71. If he can bump his participation number up, there's no reason why he won't get 10+ assists in both games of what should be a sweep.
Team: H2K vs. VIT ($5,500)
H2K and G2 should honestly both win by sweeping their Friday opponents, so saving a bit of money and using H2K is a fine way to go. I wouldn't expect much from either VIT or GIA, but if you want to save a lot of money I'd risk using Giants.
