Sunday's main soccer slate on DraftKings covers four games: BRE @ BHA, LIV @ CRY, BOU @ IPS and CHE @ SUN. The cap is $50,000 and the slate locks Sunday 11/8 at 9:00 a.m. ET (6:00 a.m. PT).
Our model's top projected plays start with Marcus Tavernier of BOU at $9,300, who carries a ceiling of 32.0 and a DraftKings average of 16.1. Cole Palmer of CHE costs $10,200 and has the highest ceiling among our top plays at 32.2, though his DraftKings average is 14.5. Cody Gakpo of LIV, at $10,000, has a ceiling of 30.8, and his teammate Alexander Isak sits at $9,700 with a ceiling of 30.0.
The better values sit a tier down. Pascal Groß of BHA is $7,700 with a ceiling of 28.5 and a DraftKings average of 15.6, which is the second-best average on our list. Maxim De Cuyper, also of BHA, costs $7,200 and brings a ceiling of 26.9 and an average of 14.9. Evanilson of BOU at $7,900 (ceiling 27.8) and Morgan Rogers of CHE at $8,300 (ceiling 28.3) round out the group.
The crowd is likely to gather at the top. Palmer is projected at 42% ownership, Gakpo at 41% and Isak at 40%, so those three prices will show up in a large share of lineups. Tavernier is projected at 38%. Groß at 31% and De Cuyper at 29% offer similar upside with less traffic. Several players carry an OUT tag from DraftKings, including Joao Pedro (CHE), Hugo Ekitike (LIV) and Ismaila Sarr (CRY), while Nordi Mukiele (SUN) is tagged Q.
Our model's top lineup uses $49,900 of the $50,000 cap. It pairs Rogers ($8,300) and Rayan ($6,000) up front, with Groß ($7,700) and Quinten Timber ($3,500) in midfield. Luke O'Nien ($2,600) and De Cuyper ($7,200) hold down defense, Bart Verbruggen ($5,300) is the goalkeeper, and Tavernier ($9,300) fills the UTIL spot.
Lock is Sunday 11/8 at 9:00 a.m. ET.
