Nolan's expert League of Legends (LoL) DFS advice and DraftKings, FanDuel lineup picks for LPL & LCK on 2/10/22. His top LoL value plays and eSports DFS recommendations.
Welcome back to another League of Legends DFS fantasy slate! We are finally back to 4 game slates with the LPL returning. We are returning with some great teams on this slate and I am looking forward to breaking it down.
Roster changes will be addressed if need be when mentioning each team. As a friendly reminder, if you can't stomach any sub risk or don't enjoy waking up early, then figure a way to roster players that don't hold any sub risk. The LCK is tricky when it comes to starting lineups, and we are usually given the LCK starting lineups about an hour or so before lock, for the first series. (@KorizonEsports on Twitter is a good lineup source, as well as @kenzi131) In this case, we probably won't get LCK lineups before the 2:00 AM lock, so we are going to try and project starters based on new additions. LPL starters are found earlier and on Twitter too.
I'll provide my League of Legends DFS advice, analysis, and lineup picks for this LPL & LCK slate on DraftKings and FanDuel that locks at 3:00 AM EST on Thursday, February 10th, 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.

LCK Matches
3:00 AM: DWG (-750) vs. KDF (+450)
While the LCK games on this slate feature some massive favorites, they are not the games I want to target. I can definitely see both being 2-0 sweeps so there is some leverage there however the expected kill totals from the LPL games are much more interesting.
DWG is 9-6 this split meanwhile KDF are 2-10 and the talent gap is huge between these teams. Deokdam has fit in nicely with this team and carries a 30.6% KS which leads the team. Canyon is known as one of the top junglers in the world and has continued to show his dominance with a 78.3% KP and is also tied with ShowMaker for second in KS. Speaking of ShowMaker, the man needs no introduction, he is one of the best players on the planet and is always a staple in DWG lineups. Top lane has been a disaster for DWG and is the clear weak spot of the team, I would avoid the top lane situation all together
Top DWG plays: Deokdam, Canyon, ShowMaker, Kellin

5:00 AM: GEN (-1200) vs. LSB (+650)
GEN has played incredible this split and is 10-4 on the year. It has been a different story for LSB as they sit near the bottom of the standings at 4-9. I would go with GEN over DWG if choosing one of the LCK teams to stack.
For GEN it is all about Ruler and Chovy. The two of them combine for almost 60% of the team's kills. Chovy also leads the team in KP with Ruler close behind. Lehends is a great choice to stack with the two top dogs of GEN
Top GEN plays: Chovy, Ruler, Lehends, Team
LPL Matches
4:00 AM: IG (+185) vs. RA (-250)
The LPL matches are the games we should be looking to target on today's slate. IG is 2-8 on the year while RA has mustered up a 4-6 record. Neither team has played all that well which is evident by their poor records. With that being said the teams have been off for a few weeks and will have been able to regroup and work on some of their mistakes.
I am looking to RA in this spot but don't hate taking a shot on IG in some larger GPP's. For RA jungler Leyan has been their best player this split leading the team in KS and KP, he is a clear target as we should see some kills in this series. We need to keep an eye on who is going to start at support for RA as they swapped to Yuyanjia in their last series. Mid laner Strive is second in KS and priced very well on this slate.
Top RA plays: Leyan, Strive, IBoy

6:00 AM: JDG (-280) vs. WE (+212)
This is shaping up to be my favorite game to target on the slate. Much like IG/RA both teams have struggled to begin the split and will look to turn things around coming out of the break. I think JDG wins this series without too much issue, but I again see the value in taking some shots on WE since they likely are optimal if they pull out the upset.
The bot lane duo of Hope and Missing is where I would look to start my JDG builds. Top laner 369 has the lowest KP% on the team and is only ahead of support Missing in KS%, he is the clear fade in 4 man stacks. Yagao and Kanavi are both in play as well but I wouldn't look to use them in the captain slot.
Top JDG plays: Hope, Missing, Yagao, Kanavi
Top WE plays: View, Stay, Shanks, Kedaya
Summary
- TLDR: Target the LPL matches over LCK as the kill totals will be much higher. DWG/GEN should both win easily.
- GPP Stacks: My favorite combinations for GPP stacks are GEN/RA/JDG/WE
- Cash Stacks: For cash, GEN/JDG is the safe play but RA/JDG could be popular as well.
Good luck tomorrow RotoBallers!
