blah had a base lineup with Shovkovskiy in goal and aboubakar+neymar+hulk as my strikers + flex so I assumed my results would be golden but I just couldn't make anything happen other than min cash type results.

Feghouli lost goal sucked. Faded Roma completely even though I'm a Serie A homer blahhhh. All of my midfielder facemelter picks didn't come off.

I am pretty sure I can't play on Draft Kings if they don't have a good data provider. It could be a possibility that it's taken in-house (by DFS operators) and therefore the operator can be held accountable. IE post a video that shows what happened with large arrows and a voice over. This would create a unique and interesting marketing angle (one operator makes a bad call and you can say "why play there?" etc).

I was scared that your front men could do some damage DuckSauce, Chelsea had been awkward recently and could have fallen in on themselves mentally.

I really love the Mascherano pick, I completely overlooked him and made me think about things a bit more, I was stacking Porto and Valencia defence, but I could have gotten him in. Roberto was a huge let down, he didn't even qualify!

Draftkings uses Stats LLC.
And I'm fairly certain that Feghouli got the goal credited first and then taken away from him again within ~10 minutes.

People seem to be confirming that happened on Twitter, pretty sick. Same thing happened with Cancelo assist.

I have not reviewed the goal in complete detail, but is there a case for a Cancelo assist?

The pricing for players on champions league is bit too high across the board on DFS sites. Fan Team pricing being the most ridiclious.

Rakitic surprisingly is in a few teams despite being non-starter. Maybe we will have to pick differential players with players on the sub bench. Giroud seems to be getting the knack of making an impact off the bench too.

Share a few links on Leverkusen, the most interesting team that is in the champions league.

The cross in takes a deflection off a defender to alter the path a bit.

No disrespect to Stats LLC. The best in the business are OPTA and any DFS/Seasonal site worth their salt use OPTA as the data provider.

This profile of OPTA is worth a read. http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/...the-world-cup/

Was at work so couldn't watch the games but had Feghouli and Cancelo in about 50000000 lineups. Outstanding

Ya stats is a pile of **** for soccer. OPTA is going to cost them a lot of money so that's why they've put off switching.

Lack of feghouli goal cost me a few k probably. Yarmolenk hurt me badly today. Pretty heated pjanic picked this week instead of last gameweek to go off.

I think that drives me insane more than everything except cross scoring, being all in on certain guys when they have their best matchup, then next week with a not as good matchup they go off.

Hard to see them keeping same scoring system if/when they switch to Opta ... could be interesting whichever way they go, crosses for instance ?

When I met with OPTA in 2012, the base price for a season was £4,000. They offer many different feeds, a lot of which are superfluous. I wonder how much it is now.

It's 4k per season per league for bare bones post game stats.

They have the gross winnings leaderboard up on Mondo home page now. Donkey top, DS 5th, me 7th, TW 9th. Not sure if any of the others are posters here. Big gap after the top 5.

Fading Ronny is terrifying but if there is any day to do it it's tonight

Away to PSG. No Bale, no Benzema, likely no James. Gut says better options from ATM/Benfica/Juve.

Considering the variance in this slate along with me being much +EV in bpl I'm probably only going to do very few LUs. Can't decide if this means I should fade him completely or cover myself by having him lol

On Twitter, MondoGoal explained that they found a discrepancy in the data and asked them to correct it. This is the reason for the delay.

Pretty sick you have to do the work you already paid someone to do.
