This weekend we have a complimentary Card on big FOX. We’re finally getting the rematch with Dustin Poirier vs Eddie Alvarez after their first fight ended in a No Contest. These are two of the most exciting fighters in the UFC and we ought to see an wonderful struggle here. DraftKings has some decent contests out for this particular card and I was surprised to see a 20k top prize in their own principal tournament. That’s what I shall personally be chasing and I will be making a bunch of LUs to throw into that. Listed below are a Couple of plays I enjoy for Saturday and my fade of this week:
Money Game play of the week — Stack (Dustin Poirier $8,800 AND Eddie Alvarez $7,400)
This is an easy way to start my money LU this week and I anticipate this to be quite well known in all cash game formats. These two have been on pace for a high scoring fight in their first battle and I think we’ve got an easy 100+ between the two of them . I believe that the winner of this fight will score over 100 points and then we add in all the sig strikes and other points from the loser as well. But we promise ourselves the win. The only way this fight doesn’t score more than 100 DK points is someone gets kneed in the mind prohibited and the fight is stopped brief….
GPP play of the week — Hakeem Dawodu ($9,400)
I believe that this matchup was set up for Dawodu a triumph. In addition, I believe Islam Makhachev, who is $200 more, will be quite highly owned and this could be a good pivot off him to differentiate your LU a little bit. I do think Dawodu will obtain some good ownership too but I think he’s a good GPP play this week. I believe the most probable outcome in this struggle is Dawodu becoming a (T)KO win. He should pay off his $9.4k salary if that is the situation, particularly if it’s early. He is a really good striker and we didn’t get to see that in his UFC debut at which he had been angry very early in the struggle. This is the best fit for him to flaunt his striking and there was so much hype behind him moving into his debut. I believe we could see a 1st round KO here which makes Hakeem Dawodu my GPP drama of this week.
Underdog drama of this week — Ion Cutelaba ($7,600)
The main reason Cutelaba is my underdog drama of the week is because there is no way he isn’t scoring at least 10x if he is able to get the win. He has big power and could get a 1st round KO score and here over 100 DK points. If he does that with his cheap salary of $7.6k he’ll surely be in the winning lineup. This is a solid fight to target both sides but points per wages shrewd, Cutelaba has among the ceilings on the card. I don’t see this battle going to conclusion and the winner should score highly. I think if you’re making multiple lineups this weekend you must definitely have exposure to Cutelaba.
Fade of the week — Katlyn Chookagian ($8,700)
I’m fading a few fighters this week personally, but the individual I never even considered using was Katlyn Chookagian. It is not that I do not believe she can win, since she for sure can. However, I don’t see her paying off an $8.7k DK salary with a win. I think we’d require a finish from her in this fight to get 10x that wages and I believe that is very unlikely to happen. The most Chookagian has ever scored in a UFC fight so far in her profession is 83 DK points. That would not be sufficient here to put her at the winning lineup in her 8.7k price tag. I think if you’re earning 20 or less lineups that Saturday you can safely fade Chookagian and when she gets a triumph it shouldn’t hurt much.
