Monday's main CS slate on DraftKings runs five games: TMZ @ MOUZ, VIT @ FUT, 9Z @ T, TL @ LEG and G2 @ DEN. Lineups lock Mon 10/26 at 3:55 a.m. ET (12:55 a.m. PT). The format uses a captain slot that scores 1.5x points at 1.5x salary, with a $50,000 cap.
Our model's top-ranked play by ceiling is dem0n of FUT at $6,200, with a ceiling of 145.9 and a DraftKings average of 46.2. Right behind him is doc of DEN at $6,800 (ceiling 140.8, average 40.6). ZywOo of VIT is the priciest name in the group at $10,600, but his 70.9 DraftKings average is the highest on our list, and his ceiling of 133.2 ranks third. His teammate flameZ costs $9,000 with a ceiling of 121.1 and an average of 54.4.
The value tier is where this slate gets interesting. Krabeni of FUT is only $5,000, yet he carries a 48.8 average and a ceiling of 114.3. bLitz of TMZ at $5,600 offers a 113.4 ceiling and a 46.5 average. huNter- of G2 at $6,200 has a 117.3 ceiling and a 46.7 average, and jL of VIT matches that price with a 114.1 ceiling and a 47.3 average. Saving salary at these spots is what makes room for the expensive stars.
Ownership figures are not available for this slate, so we can't say where the crowd will land.
Our model's top lineup uses $49,500 of the $50,000 cap. It puts dem0n in the captain slot at $9,300, then fills the flex spots with bLitz at $5,600, xertioN at $8,200, flameZ at $9,000, doc at $6,800 and ZywOo at $10,600. Captaining dem0n pairs his 145.9 ceiling with the 1.5x multiplier, while the cheaper flex pieces pay for ZywOo and flameZ.
Set your lineups before the lock at 3:55 a.m. ET on Mon 10/26.
