- Fnatic (-325) vs. XL

Captain/MVP
Vetheo - MSF: Misfits have had three tough games in a row against MAD, G2, and Rogue. They now get to go up against Astralis which is a much easier game for Misfits. Vetheo has the upside you are looking for in your captain slot and put up a 5/1/6 game the last time Misfits faced Astralis.
Bwipo– FNC: Bwipo has been a staple in my articles this split and he has continued to come through. Fnatic leads the league in kills and Bwipo leads Fnatic in kill participation and is one of the more aggressive players in the league. That is exactly what you are looking for in the captain role.
TOP
Adam - FNC: Adam had his second-best scoring game of the split in their first matchup against XL putting up 34.04 points. In that game, he actually struggled during the early game. Imagine what he can do in a game in which he has even an average start to the game. Kryze is one of the worst top laners in the league and with the changes to the XL roster they have become a bit more aggressive. We know Fnatic is always happy to fight and that means plenty of opportunities for Adam to rack up kills and assists.
HiRit- MSF: HiRit and Adam are neck and neck in the battle for most kills in the top lane. Vetheo just passed him in their last game for second on the team in kill share but he has still been very involved as a top laner. Unlike Adam, HiRit has been dominant in the lane phase of the game. He leads all top laners in XP10 by a large margin, WhiteKnight on the other hand is in the bottom half of the league in XP10.

JUNGLE
Bwipo – FNC: If you haven't chosen Bwipo in the captain slot, he is worth considering here
SelfMade - VIT: SelfMade has been the best jungler when it comes to early game farming. He leads all junglers in both GD and XP at the 10-minute mark. He also leads Vitality in kill participation. Vitality made quick work of SK in their first game beating them in under 23 minutes. SelfMade still managed to put up 3/0/4 in that game. It is unlikely Vitality beats them that quickly again so there will be more opportunity to rack up points.
Razork – MSF: Razork owns an impressive 80.4% kill participation for Misfits. It has been Vetheo and HiRit who have been dominating the kills but Razork is very involved in the kills Misfits get. If you are stacking Misfits this slate Razork should be a core piece in your lineups.
MID
Vetheo - MSF: If Vetheo isn’t your captain, get him locked in here.
Lider – VIT: Lider leads Vitality in kills and has a great matchup against SK. Blue has the worst early game lane numbers of any mid laner this split by a significant margin. Lider is a very solid play on this slate.
ADC
Upset - FNC: Upset leads Fnatic in kills and has a good matchup against a more aggressive XL team. Fnatic has shown a willingness to play through Upset and make him a legitimate win condition. Upset should rack up the kills in this game.
Crownshot – VIT: Crownshot has not been the carry for Vitality that I was expecting him to be this split. His numbers have been fine but unlike Upset, Vitality hasn't shown the same willingness to play through the bot lane. Crownshot has a very positive matchup against SK and put up 5/0/1 in their under 23-minute game earlier this split. The nice thing about Crownshot is he does not die very often so you don't have to worry about him not being available for team fights.
Hans Sama/Rekkles - RGE/G2:I know you must be thinking what the heck? I am not recommending playing both in the same lineup, but recent G2/RGE games have been quite bloody with the last one combining for 52 total kills. In that game, Hans Sama had 10/5/6 and Rekkles went 9/3/7. There could be some sneaky stacks in this game. Keep in mind Rogue is 0-11 against G2.
SUPPORT
Hylissang- FNC: Hylissang is a great choice for your support spot on this slate, he has a 70% counter pick rate. Hylissang has no trouble starting up fights for his team and while his death numbers can sometimes be on the high side he usually makes up for it in the assist collum.
Kaiser – MAD: Kaiser much like Hylissang is an aggressive support and one of the better supports in the league. Aggressive supports are the ones you want to target in DFS as they like to make plays happen. MAD should have no trouble dismantling Schalke and Kaiser should rack up assists in the process.
TEAM
Mad Lions: Schalke is one of the worst teams at securing neutral objectives, meanwhile MAD is in the top half in both dragon and baron control rates. Mad Lions are a much better team than Schalke and should take care of them with relative ease.
Vitality: SK has two wins for a reason, they are not very good, they did dominate Schalke but that isn't saying much. Any team playing SK is worth considering in the team slot and that happens to be Vitality today.
Final Thoughts
Rogue playing G2 is always a great game to watch and I am expecting this one to be no different. Only Hans and Rekkles made the write-up but whichever team you have winning that game, will have players worth rostering. Outside of that game, all the favourites should win their games on this slate.
