Read this yesterday it was a piece about betting. The person said "start with a degree of caution. Be like the lion tamer. The lion can be tamed, but only by maintaining a healthy fear of the lion."

The Lion in DFS is the inherent variance in sports.

What was your overall score at the end ? If you getting past the 115 points mark for five fixtures, you getting there. The defenders look bargain and low scoring in your line-up. I had Daniels, Fuchs and Oviedo.

I finished on 118 points. Only two line-up's I made and the highest scoring one was very good. Except the goalkeeper it was from Leicester and ended up with minus two. So getting clean sheets and win for goalkeeper could have pushed my score to around 132.

Slim pickings in the DK game for differential, the salary is very sharp and hard to stay under budget without sacrificing one player/position.

MLS slate is out for DK. Should be a fun week with all the games on Sunday and some out-of-whack new season pricing.

MLS I tried on Mondo last season, but was nearly impossible due to the high squad rotation in most teams. Think it much more suited to be played with swap option. The plus is we can play football DFS all year long now.

Did DK offer games for Copa America last summer ? You will think they will cover the centenario Copa America showpiece this summer to be held in the US. Looks like Copa Anerica starts a week before Euro 2016 and both tournaments run concurrently through June.

Yeah, can't imagine playing on Mondo with squad rotation and the staggered MLS start times.

I would be surprised if they do Cops America, but maybe.

119.50 here. Another 1point and I'd have had a good night, them are the breaks. Thought Cesc was a decent differential with no Willian so on corners and he got 6.5, bad pick tho as even with say 6 corners is only 11.5 not a great score...

simpson looks the only terrible pick there, because even with cleansheet his roof is gonna be 9points, and floor is going to be 2 or so.
Kirchoff is good for a defender thats not a fb.

IMO mahrez could've been avoided Donkey, you know he's gonna be high owned and tbh he isn't that good a value for his price. Switching to albrighton (as he had set piece duties etc) and using the extra money to upgrade your defenders slightly to people with higher floors would've been a smarter play IMO.

Same can be said for Kasper when Forster was 400 cheaper

I thought that Olson might fill in for Brunt at left back, and therefore and he less mobile than other left backs, they would look to exploit the Leicester right back/Mahrez combo by overloading him.

Guess that didn't work out too well in the end =(

Interesting point with Albrighton, I had him for ages and left him out in the end, going for Barkely. I thought Barkely would simply shoot a lot, as he likes to do so and he has a decent chance to get a goal. I can see now that Albrighton is better than both of them longterm for the price offered, I see the error.

My roll was mostly in DoNs, so I was looking to place a good score mainly, I just entered the team in the GPP for the fun.

To be honest, I thought that Leicester would be looking to keep a sheet for the most part and being at home played a big part in that thinking. To be honest, if I was building my team again, I think I would still take Kasper, I thought they would win too.

I think the only defender I would have upgraded then would have been Simpson, but I would have tried to get Fuchs to replace him.

Kasper was the best play on the slate unless you needed salary then it was boruc. Danny simpson is bad and you should feel bad for playing him. Playing players with no upside is a massive leak.

Forster was way worse value for 400 less given away and v a better side, playing for a worse side...

Had Boruc, switched off of him since had no idea what to do with the salary. Went with Kasper, fortunately I ran like god everywhere else.

Just have a question. Over £1 billion has been spent by Premier League clubs and that is a record other leagues will take a while to match. But I can not see one defender from the Premier League getting into the sublime Juventus back line. What do you think ?

Also Newcastle and Sunderland have spent a fortune on transfers. Looks like all that money still will not save one of them from relegation.

Just checking under the contest lobby. Looks like MLS, Russian Premier League, Turkish Super Lig and Mexco's Liga MX has been added on Mondogoal. Offering Global League is way to go and nice to see them mix it up. With their tie-up at Championship Manager and these Global Leagues in the lobby it should see them attract more players.

Getting used to DK's game play and scoring. One team entered and forgot to swap Andros Townsend. 133.50 from ten players my overall score. Placed 324th out of 4.6 k.

Next target to reach 150 points before the international break. Easy and steady does it. So far breaking even and that is a good sign.

Man City are 8/1 for the title now. That looks generous to me, it is only March and so many twists & turns ahead. Look at Man Utd and their transformation in ten days from that abysmal defeat at the hands of FC Midtjylland.

A week is a very long time in football. In DFS it is like an eternity!

Good question and fully agree WhoScored is woeful on probable line up. Their match previews and score prediction are laughable too.

Have a look at these two below and also the very good La Gazzetta dello Sport from Italy. La Gazzetta cover La Liga too and Gazzeta world is the English version of their site.

Draft Kings. Got 165 tonight in one team and 150 in another, I was sweating pretty hard on a Man U clean sheet at the end. Quite exciting, won a few GPPs and some other top 10s. Shame I only played a max buy in $3. Getting quite into it now (obviously as I am running good!)
