Chelsea on the weekend.

Makes sense.

Rogers knows even with his strongest 11, he won't win against Madrid. Might as well rest key players.
 
Hey does anyone know where I can get the starting lineups for the matches today?

I was drunk as hell last night and put all of my Draftkings money on a Head 2 Head matchup for the UCL today. Have no idea why as I just started to try to get into soccer (well hell thats probably why) But now I've got to draft a team :lol

Might as well try, its a 200$ head to head.

Any of you guys really like any players today? I'm definitely taking Cristiano, just dunno who else. Buffon at Goalie vs Olympiakos? or Iker Casillas vs Liverpool since they seem to be resting a lot of guys

draftkings soccer is such a lucky contest lol. I stopped playing after 2-3 contests. But pay attention to twitter. Every club will tweet the starting 11 about 1-2 hrs before kickoff.

Thanks. Yeah it looks like a total crapshoot. Most defenders are 3-4,000$....goalies are like 4-5,000$...then you got Ronaldo who is 15,000 lol.

It's a head to head to I assume I have a slight chance, but the kid I'm playing is probably nasty with soccer knowledge.

Right now I have 

Goalie: Buffon

Defense: Keiran Gibbs

Defense: Postapapolopolous

Midfielder: Couhtino

Midfielder: Jimmy Durmaz

F: Cristiano Ronaldo

F: Alexis Sanchez

Flex: Kwadwo Asamoah

Dunno if that helps anyone though with helping me. Lets do this as a team (looking at you Champ)

Russian coach refuses to sign black players

MOSCOW (AP) The coach of Russian Premier League team FC Rostov said Friday he will not sign black players and joked that Ebola had spread to the club.

Igor Gamula told local media the club had[COLOR=#red] "enough dark-skinned players, we've got six of the things" [/COLOR]when asked in a post-match news conference Friday about rumors Rostov would sign Cameroon defender Benoit Angbwa.

Gamula also said that five of his Russian players were ill with a high temperature and joked that the Ebola epidemic was the cause.
"I'm already worrying it's Ebola," he said, before adding that the reference to the disease was "a joke, obviously."

Rostov midfielder Moussa Doumbia is from Mali, which has seen sporadic Ebola cases. He played for Gamula's team in Friday's 1-0 win over Ural Yekaterinburg.
Gamula, 54, took over in September at Rostov, which won the Russian Cup last season and has played in this season's Europa League.

Known for making inflammatory comments, earlier this month he was cleared by the Russian Football Union of a disciplinary charge relating to a TV interview in which he shouted at a journalist and criticized a referee.

Rostov is struggling in 14th place in the 16-team Russian league and Friday's win was Gamula's first in four games with the club.

one thing i learned is people study alot of stats. like which players complete the most dribbles in a match, takes alot of SoG's, etc. also make sure you have defenders/goalies that are sure to have a great shot at having a clean sheet.

like imo, I would go heavy on atl madrid players for goalie/defenders. and focus on middys who complete alot of dribbles/assist percentages/takes shots. Forwards are always risky. I love CR7 but i think Benz will have a great match today plus hes much cheaper.

Thanks dude. I will check out the Atl Madrid guys for defense right now. Hopefully find some cheap guys that are starting.

I don't really get the midfielder stuff. Was going to try and get Gareth Bale but know he just came off injury so maybe he's not smart. I could do Benzema over Alexis Sanchez but then I feel I'd be loading up on Real Madrid guys.

Also I know with H2H's a big thing is trying to take guys you dont think the other guy would take...I assume he will probably have CR7

Sorry for clogging this page with fantasy q's guys. Just knew I'd get the best reply and advice possible here.
 
Liverpool resting Gerrard for Saturday like Cesc, Matic and Oscar won't run circles around dude anyway. :lol

I'm not really trying to see Liverpool get mistreated, even though Real Madrid have some of my favorite players.

Might watch Juve or Arsenal instead. Maybe Dortmund, they been so bad that Galatasary should provide a good challenge.
