With three games in Group G and F, Monday's showdowns are Belgium vs Tunisia, South Korea vs Mexico, and Germany vs Sweden. Due to the multiple games being played, lineups are back to their normal constructions. Below we bring you seven players you should consider as World Cup DFS lineup picks for Matchday 10 (on June 23nd, 2018).
Not all are top-tier options, as there is a range of DFS value picks, sleepers and high-risk players mixed in.
Consider all of these players for your DFS lineups; however, at the end of the day, it is always your decision. Good luck, RotoBallers.
WC DFS Forwards to Consider
Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez - F, Mexico (DK - $6,800, FD - $8,400)
Mexico's leading goalscorer with 49 goals, Chicharito has been an excellent finisher for the national side. The pure poacher is likely going to score against a weak South Korea defense in a game that Mexico is expected to dominate. Chicharito had an assist last week in his team's surprise victory against Germany. Expect the former Manchester United forward to have quite a few chances to score in tomorrow's game, making him the perfect choice as a center forward in your slates tomorrow.
Ola Toivonen - F, Sweden (DK - $4,400, FD - $7,500)
If you are following the narrative that Germany will continue to underperform, you may consider Swedish forward Ola Toivonen in your lineup. Toivonen is fairly priced on FanDuel, but at $4,400 on DraftKings the Swedish veteran is a perfect choice as your secondary forward or in Tournament slates. Toivonen has an eye for goal but is also one of Sweden's main playmaking threat, making him a good choice tomorrow despite the tough matchup.
WC DFS Midfielders to Consider
Eden Hazard - M, Belgium (DK - $10,300, FD - $10,500)
Despite disappointing for much of the Premier League season and in the team's first round win against Panama, Eden Hazard is still the best player in Belgium's lineup and one of the best attacking midfielders in the world. Hazard is a threat to score regardless of who he plays, and a matchup with Tunisia should provide the Chelsea midfielder with a license to score or assist for his teammates.
Viktor Claesson - M, Sweden (DK - $3,700, FD - $7,500)
If you really are doubling down on Sweden tomorrow, a good contrarian play on DraftKings is Victor Claesson. The skilled midfielder is criminally undervalued on DraftKings and makes for a great Tournament play on the chance that he is able to produce against what is looking like an overrated Germany lineup. Nevertheless, he is a risky play for fantasy owners but will be a slate-winner if he does produce.
WC DFS Defenders to Consider
Jonas Hector - D, Germany (DK - $4,900, FD - $5,000)
After missing the first game due to illness, Germany defender Jonas Hector is expected to return to the starting lineup for his side against Sweden. Hector is an attacking wingback who has the offensive ability to change the game opposite right back Kimmich. He is undervalued on both sites as he can produce just as much as Kimmich can, making him a perfect value play in a game that Germany must win and should dominate.
Thomas Meunier - D, Belgium (DK - $6,100, FD - $5,000)
Any Belgian player is a good shout against Tunisia tomorrow, but Meunier is Belgium's most attacking defensive threat and a lock to play the full ninety minutes. The PSG fullback almost always plays well defensively, but it is his attacking prowess that sets him apart from other players at the position. Although Meunier is pretty expensive on DraftKings, his value on FanDuel makes him an excellent play in both GPP and Tournament formats.
WC DFS Goalies to Consider
Cho Hyun-Woo - G, South Korea (DK - $4,000, FD - 4,500)
A completely contrarian play, South Korea's Cho Hyun-Woo is an interesting contrarian play against a Mexico side who some agree grossly over-performed in their game last week. South Korea is not the favorite to win the game, but if they can sneak in a good performance against Mexico than their goalkeeper is worth the selection. A decent Tournament option, Hyun-Woo will be forced to make several saves in an attempt to keep a clean sheet - if he is able to do so, then his upside is too much to ignore if you are strapped for cash and need a goalkeeper.
Good luck this weekend!
