Euro 2024 Matchday 4
DraftKings DFS Goalkeepers
Horatiu Moldovan - DK $4.2K || FD $9
Opponent - Ukraine
This match could truly go either way. Between the two countries, they have only played three matches with Ukraine winning twice and drawing the other match. Furthermore, they have outscored Romania by just two goals. The only issue is that the matches between the two countries are averaging 3.0 Goals Per 90, making saves necessary to maintain value. However, as the third least-expensive netminder on the slate, Moldovan is a salary saver with the potential to break the slate.
Others To Consider (CASH/GPP): Casteels (DK $5.8K || FD $13), Maignan (DK $5.7K || FD $12)
DraftKings DFS Forwards
Antoine Griezmann - DK $8.2K || FD $21
Opponent - Austria
Similar to Christian Eriksen of Denmark – 35+ percent across contests yesterday – Antoine Griezmann will be a popular option for this slate. As a set piece taker, registered as a forward on the biggest favorite of the slate, it is expected that Griezmann will need to be rostered to have a chance at shipping contests. The attacking midfielder in 18 appearances and 17 starts for France – two World Cups and one Euro, he has five goals, five assists, 35 shots, 42 created chances, 80 crosses, 49 corners, and 31 tackles with the bulk of his created chances and crosses coming from his last World Cup. As favorites for another international bout, Griezmann and France are expected to score plenty of goals.
Others To Consider (CASH/GPP): Lukaku (DK $10.8K || FD $20), Giroud (DK $7.4K || FD $18)
DraftKings DFS Midfielders
Kevin De Bruyne - DK $9.8K || FD $21
Opponent - Slovakia
While Griezmann will have similar ownership numbers to Christian Eriksen, Kevin De Bruyne is as close as they come to Christian Eriksen, from both an ownership standpoint and a player standpoint. De Bruyne is Belgium’s heartbeat and engine for all facets of the game and he plays an identical style to that of Christian Eriksen, albeit, the former is younger.
In 13 appearances and 12 starts for Belgium – two World Cups and one Euro – De Bruyne has two goals, four assists, 25 shots, 46 created chances, 58 crosses, 38 corners, and 16 tackles. He is also coming off a shortened English Premier League season due to injury where he made 18 appearances and 15 starts, yet he still produced four goals and ten assists. With Slovakia up first, followed by Romania and Ukraine, De Bruyne and the Red Devils are expected to sweep Group E.
Others To Consider (CASH/GPP): Tsyhankov (DK $6.8K || FD $15), Hagi (DK $5.6K || FD $14)
DraftKings DFS Defenders
Maxim De Cuyper - DK $3.8K || FD $7
Opponent - Slovakia
To finish the slate we have another potential 30+ ownership player in centerback/fullback hybrid, Maxim De Cuyper. The Club Brugge defender is coming off a successful season in his first season with Brugge in the Belgium Pro League. In 27 appearances and 24 starts, he had two goals and seven assists. He thrived in the attack, landing in the 90th percentile of defenders or better in, Non-Penalty Expected Goals, Assists, and Shot Creating Actions. He was also in the 70th percentile in both Interceptions and Blocks. Projected to start at left back against Slovakia, De Cuyper has the potential to be the highest-owned player on the slate and the top-value player on the slate.
Others To Consider (CASH/GPP): Hernandez (DK $6K || FD $14), Bancu (DK $4.7K || FD $10)
Set Pieces:
- Romania: Man/Stanciu/Bancu
- Ukraine: Tsyhankov/Zinchenko
- Belgium: De Bruyne
- Slovakia: Haraslin/Suslov/Duda
- Austria: Alaba/Sabitzer/Baumgartner
- France: Griezmann/Hernandez
