Sunday's DraftKings soccer slate is a small one, with two games on the board: PUE @ QRO and GDL @ LEO. The salary cap is $50,000, and lineups lock Sunday 11/8 at 7:00 p.m. ET (4:00 p.m. PT).
The top spot in our model's ranking belongs to Santiago Homenchenko of QRO. He costs $9,300 and carries a ceiling of 33.0, the highest on the slate, with a DraftKings average of 17.2. Roberto Alvarado of GDL is next at $8,900, with a 30.6 ceiling and a 15.4 average. Santiago Sandoval of GDL ($10,200, 29.7 ceiling) and Daniel Arcila of LEO ($9,100, 28.3 ceiling) round out the high-priced midfield and forward options.
The value plays are where the slate gets interesting. Claudio Robles of QRO is priced at $7,000 with a 29.6 ceiling, a strong number for the cost. Santiago Londono of LEO sits at $6,500 with a 27.4 ceiling, though his DraftKings average is -2.5, so he is a ceiling play rather than a safe one. Joaquin Cruz of QRO is the cheapest of the group at $5,800, with a 24.5 ceiling.
On ownership, the crowd is heading toward the expensive names. Sandoval is projected at 42% and Kevin Castaneda at 41%, with Homenchenko at 38%. Alvarado (36%), Arcila (37%) and Mateo Coronel (35%) are also heavily owned, while Robles (28%), Londono (26%) and Cruz (23%) are less crowded and could help a lineup stand apart.
Our model's top lineup uses $48,500 of the $50,000 cap. It has Coronel ($8,700) and Londono ($6,500) at forward, with Sebastian Fierro ($3,200) and Homenchenko ($9,300) in midfield. Julian Alcocer ($4,300) and Bryan Gonzalez ($5,900) fill the defense, Juan Barriga ($5,300) is in goal, and Mono Martinez ($5,300) takes the UTIL spot.
Lineups lock Sunday at 7:00 p.m. ET.
