Sunday's main Counter-Strike slate on DraftKings has six games: FUT @ TL, VIT @ TMZ, G2 @ AUR, MOUZ @ 9Z, FUR @ NaVi and LEG @ DEN. It locks Sun 10/25 at 3:55 a.m. ET (12:55 a.m. PT). Lineups use a $50,000 cap, and the captain slot scores 1.5x points at 1.5x salary.
Our model's top-ranked plays start with doc of DEN at $6,800, whose ceiling of 143.3 is the highest on the board. XANTARES of AUR is right behind at $6,600 with a ceiling of 142.5 and a DraftKings average of 54.8. xfl0ud of FUT sits at $6,800 with a 133.6 ceiling and a 47.1 average. At the top of the price range, ZywOo of VIT costs $10,800 and brings a 70.7 DraftKings average, the best on the list, with a ceiling of 121.4.
The value plays are where the board gets interesting. huNter- of G2 costs just $5,000 and still carries a ceiling of 116.2 and an average of 46.8. Krabeni of FUT is $6,000 with a 116.0 ceiling and a 48.6 average. YEKINDAR of FUR, at $7,400, offers a 112.3 ceiling and a 51.8 average, while KSCERATO of FUR is a pricier $9,000 with a 118.2 ceiling and a 57.9 average.
The fact sheet doesn't include ownership figures for this slate, so we can't say where the crowd will land.
Our model's top lineup uses $49,400 of the $50,000 cap. It puts xfl0ud in the captain slot at $10,200, then fills the flex spots with ZywOo at $10,800, Krabeni at $6,000, doc at $6,800, XANTARES at $6,600 and KSCERATO at $9,000. It pairs two FUT players, builds around the highest ceilings available and spends nearly the whole budget.
