Nolan's expert League of Legends (LoL) DFS advice and DraftKings, FanDuel lineup picks for LEC on 7/29/22. His top LoL value plays and eSports DFS recommendations.
Welcome back to another League of Legends DFS fantasy slate! There are only three weeks remaining in the summer split. The battle for 4th, 5th, and 6th should be a fun one to watch over the next few weeks.
I'll provide my League of Legends DFS advice, analysis, and lineup picks for this LEC slate on DraftKings and FanDuel that locks at 12:00 PM EST on Friday, July 29th, 2022. If you have any questions about the slate or anything please reach out to me on Twitter @nolanroth10. I'll do my best to provide some useful analysis, and the odds listed are from Pinnacle. Let's jump right into the matchups, and good luck RotoBallers.
LEC Matches
SK (+100) vs. AST (-130)
This is an interesting first game of the slate as both teams are fighting for one of the last playoff spots. AST has been the surprise team of the split and SK has won 3 of their last 4. I would expect most of the ownership to be on AST here but I am willing to ride the SK hot streak
Sertuss has been the highlight for SK this split with a 35% KS. JNX in the top lane has also had some pop-off games and SK has shown a willingness to let him play carry champions instead of the typical tank champions.
The name of the game has been team fighting for AST. Everyone except Vizicsasci has a 70+% KP which is precisely what you want to see when looking to team stack.
Top SK plays: Sertuss, JNX, Treatz
Top AST plays: Kobbe, Xerxe, Dajor, Jeonghoon

VIT (+110) vs. XL (-145)
I like the prices of both teams on this slate. You can certainly take some shots on VIT in large fields but XL is the play in this one. After dropping both games two weeks ago XL came back focussed winning both last week.
Markoon is having a really strong split and would be a staple in XL stacks. The bot lane of Patrik and Mikyx has also been one of the stronger bot lanes of the split and it has been a clear weak spot for VIT. Finn has put up some disappointing numbers despite the success of XL and I would look to fade him in this one.
Top XL plays: Markoon, Patrik, Mikyx
RGE (-310) vs. MSF (+235)
MSF was the talk of the LEC this week after deciding to sell its slot in the LEC effective at the end of the split. It will be interesting to see how the team plays this week after the players found out about the news at the same time we did. A matchup against RGE is not ideal for MSF here and I wouldn't be shocked to see them get crushed here.
All of RGE are in play here, but the main players I'm looking at here are Comp, Larssen, and Trymbi with Comp being a must-play in RGE lineups. Comp has an insane 79% KP and 37% KS and is tied for second in the league with 53 kills.
Top RGE plays: All of them

BDS (+460) vs. G2 (-750)
BDS has all but given up on the split managing only one win to this point. shockingly enough that win did come against G2 in a huge upset but I am not counting on that to happen again. Much like RGE all of G2 is in play here, I like RGE a bit more but if you have the money to fit G2 then lock them in.
G2's success starts with Caps and his league-leading 54 kills. Targamas has been heavily involved as well with a 73% KP. The two of them would be my core and I would look to swap around the remaining three players depending on which team you are stacking them with.
Top G2 plays: Caps, Targamas, BrokenBlade, Jankos, Flakked (In order)
MAD (-170) vs. FNC (+130)
FNC is super cheap on this slate of the caliber of players they have but even with their prices, I don't have much love for them here against MAD. FNC has dropped 4 in a row meanwhile MAD has won 4 in a row and is currently my pick to win the split. I just don't see them losing a 5 game series with the way they have played this summer.
I feel like I say this every week but the duo of Elyoya and. Nisqy has been so impressive with their coordinated ganks. This has allowed them to find man advantages and rack up the kills in the other lanes. Unforgiven leads the team in KS at 34% and is tied with Comp for second in the league with 53 kills
Top MAD plays: Unforgiven, Elyoya, Nisqy, Kaiser
Summary
- GPP Stacks: SK, VIT, RGE, MAD
- Cash Stacks: RGE, MAD, G2
Good luck tomorrow RotoBallers!
