Friday's DraftKings slate is a single-game showdown, MGB at HSV, with a $50,000 cap and a captain slot that scores 1.5x points at 1.5x salary. Lock is Fri 11/6 at 2:30 p.m. ET (11:30 a.m. PT).
Our model's top-ranked play is Sander Tangvik of HSV at $5,600. His ceiling of 23.9 is the highest on the board, and his DraftKings average sits at 16.7, so the price asks very little for what he can return. Behind him, Shuto Machino of MGB at $10,400 carries a 22.8 ceiling, while Terem Moffi of HSV at $9,200 posts a 21.4 ceiling. Albert Grønbæk of HSV, at $11,000, has a 21.3 ceiling.
Tangvik is the clear value play, and he is the one cheap piece among the model's top plays. Because the captain slot multiplies salary as well as points, the savings from a $5,600 flex are easy to spend elsewhere in the lineup.
The crowd is likely to gather around the biggest names. Grønbæk is projected at 42% ownership, Machino at 40% and Honorat of MGB at 37%. Wael Mohya of MGB is at 35% and Moffi at 34%. Tangvik is projected at only 19%, which makes him the most underowned of the top plays relative to his ceiling.
Our model's top lineup uses the full $50,000. It puts Machino in the captain slot at $15,600, then adds Honorat at $9,800, Daniel Batz at $4,800, Kevin Diks at $3,200, Tangvik at $5,600 and Grønbæk at $11,000. That mix pairs two of the most popular names with a low-owned Tangvik and two inexpensive fillers.
Several players carry an OUT tag from DraftKings: Fabio Vieira and Nicolas Capaldo of HSV, plus Hugo Bolin, Nicolas Kuhn, Enzo Leopold, Moritz Nicolas, Tim Kleindienst and Fritz Fleck of MGB. Check the tags again before you finalize. Lineups lock Fri 11/6 at 2:30 p.m. ET.
