World Cup Monday late slate, first kick 3:00PM EDT. The lineup pairs two favored attacks — Darwin Núñez and Federico Valverde for Uruguay, and a Belgium duo in Charles De Ketelaere and Jérémy Doku — then adds clean-sheet value with a keeper for Iran and a cheap bring-back from Saudi Arabia. Every dollar of the cap is in play.
Charles De Ketelaere — FWD/MID, $18
A creative focal point of the Belgium attack against Egypt. De Ketelaere operates between the lines and arrives in the box for shots, and with Belgium favored to control the game, his blend of chance creation and goal threat gives him a strong all-around floor. A core piece of the earlier game.
Darwin Núñez — FWD/MID, $20
The top-priced striker and the goal threat for a favored Uruguay against Saudi Arabia. Núñez lives in the penalty box and gets on the end of Uruguay's service, and against a Saudi side likely to defend deep, his shot volume is the most direct route to goals on this slate.
Jérémy Doku — FWD/MID, $17
The explosive wide threat in the Belgium attack. Doku's dribbling stretches a deep block and generates chances out of nothing, and pairing him with De Ketelaere gives us the two most dynamic creators on a Belgium side expected to pile up possession against Egypt.
Federico Valverde — FWD/MID, $19
The engine of the Uruguay attack and one of the highest floors on the board. Valverde covers every blade of grass, fires from distance, and chips in on set pieces, so his points don't depend on a single goal — exactly the profile you want pairing with Núñez on a favored side.
Nathan Ngoy — DEF, $8
The value defender from the Belgium game. Ngoy stacks tackles and clearances with clean-sheet upside if Belgium controls the match against Egypt as expected, and at $8 he's a cost-effective third piece of the Belgian side.
Nawaf Bu Washl — DEF, $7
The Saudi Arabia leverage piece and the bring-back from the Uruguay game. Bu Washl racks up the defensive actions that stack a floor for cheap, and at $7 he's the lowest-cost way to get exposure to the other side of a game we're attacking.
Alireza Beiranvand — GK, $11
The keeper, with Iran favored at home against New Zealand. Beiranvand's appeal is the blend of save volume and clean-sheet potential — against a New Zealand attack that isn't built to generate high-quality looks, the shutout is live and every save adds to the floor.
The lineup at a glance — a Uruguay attacking pair in Darwin Núñez and Federico Valverde headlines against Saudi Arabia, with Saudi defender Nawaf Bu Washl as the cheap bring-back; a Belgium pair in Charles De Ketelaere and Jérémy Doku drives the earlier game with Nathan Ngoy the clean-sheet value behind them; and Alireza Beiranvand brings clean-sheet potential in goal for Iran. Two favored attacks up top, value and a keeper to balance.
Let's have a big day! 💰🔥
