FIFA World Cup main slate, first kickoff 3:00PM EDT. We're stacking a heavy favorite, pairing a superstar with his keeper, and adding a smash spot. The Bosnia group of Esmir Bajraktarevic, Kerim Alajbegovic, Nikola Katic and Stjepan Radeljic attacks a leaky Qatar, Vinícius Júnior and Alisson Becker headline Brazil against Scotland, and Morocco's Brahim Díaz takes on a winless Haiti.

Brahim Díaz — FWD/MID, $19

Brahim Díaz is the spend-up and a smash spot. Morocco are favored against a Haiti side that has lost both its games and failed to score, and as one of Morocco's primary creators he'll see the ball in dangerous areas all afternoon. With Morocco needing a result to top the group and pushing forward against an overmatched defense, Díaz carries one of the higher creative ceilings on the board.

Esmir Bajraktarevic — FWD/MID, $11

Bajraktarevic is the value attacker in the Bosnia stack. Bosnia are favored at home against a Qatar side that just conceded six goals to Canada, and the young winger is one of their sparks in the final third. At $11 he's a cheap way to get attacking exposure to a side that should control the game and pour forward.

Kerim Alajbegovic — FWD/MID, $12

Alajbegovic is the second value attacker in the Bosnia group and a direct correlation with Bajraktarevic. He's a creative piece who gets into the box, and against a Qatar defense that has been overrun, his shot-and-assist volume should be high. Stacking him alongside the rest of the Bosnia attack doubles up on a favored side in a get-right spot.

Vinícius Júnior — FWD/MID, $23

Vini is the spend-up and the ceiling piece of the slate. Brazil draw Scotland — a side that has scored just once in two games — in a match Brazil should control, and Vinícius is the focal point of everything they do going forward. With his pace and dribbling against a beatable back line, he carries the highest goal-and-assist ceiling on the board. The premium price comes with premium upside.

Nikola Katic — DEF, $14

Katic is the spend-up defender and the rare back-line piece with a real scoring path. He anchors the Bosnia defense — clearances, blocks and tackles plus clean-sheet upside against a Qatar attack that managed nothing against Canada — and as a towering center back he's a genuine aerial threat on Bosnia's set pieces. He's the defender worth paying up for, with both a high floor and a goal ceiling.

Stjepan Radeljic — DEF, $8

Radeljic is the value piece and the second leg of the Bosnia clean-sheet correlation. He banks defensive-action points anchoring the back line, with a shutout very much in play against a Qatar side that couldn't score on Canada. At $8 he's the cheap defender that pairs with Katic on a Bosnia back line that should keep a clean sheet.

Alisson Becker — GK, $13

Alisson is the keeper and the back end of the Brazil correlation. Against a Scotland side that has barely threatened, the clean-sheet probability is real, and the elite keeper banks save volume plus the shutout bonus. Pairing him with Vinícius is the natural same-team play — if Brazil controls the game, the star produces up front while Alisson cashes the clean sheet behind him.

The lineup at a glance — the four-man Bosnia stack of Bajraktarevic, Alajbegovic, Katic and Radeljic attacks a leaky Qatar with attack-and-clean-sheet correlation, Vinícius and Alisson give us the Brazil pairing against a low-scoring Scotland, and Brahim Díaz is the Morocco smash spot against a winless Haiti. A favored stack, a superstar-keeper correlation, and a get-right attacker — plenty of ways to win.

Let's have a big day! 💰🔥
