Our content is still zero-cost!

Real quick, it's important to give HUGE due credit to numerous guys in the community of late, but especially Russell, who pulled home a $14,000 profit yesterday. Over the weekend, Jwin had a 1st place small-field tournament finish.

It's so rewarding to see these big hits seemingly every slate thus far, and it's only been four weeks. Let's keep it going.

We have multiple slates to look forward to each and every week before the World Cup kicks off in November.

I want to keep things clean and concise here, so let's dive in.

---

F CORE

Julian Alvarez ($5,900) - Assuming he gets the start over Haaland, he's a no brainer at this price. It's likely that City rotates with 3 matches between now and next Tuesday.

Phil Foden ($8,700), Bernardo Silva ($8,400), Riyad Mahrez ($8,300) - All City attackers are core options. Foden > Mahrez > Silva would be my preference. NFO bleed chances on the left side of the field.

F CASH

Gabriel Martinelli ($9,200) - Villa's backline is rough. Arsenal have the third implied team total at a respectable 1.92. Martinelli has been putting on a show this season, leading his team in shots, crosses, and chances created per 90 minutes. Expect some regression, but he's still solid as they come.

F GPP

Mohamed Salah ($9,900) - Perfect buy low spot. Bruno Guimares' absence is huge for Newcastle's midfield. Positive regression coming after somehow being held silent despite Liverpool's 9-0 victory.

Buyako Saka ($7,100) - Price gap is widening between Saka and Martinelli. Perfect time to pounce in my opinion, as there's not a whole lot between the two despite the small sample size to start the season. Saka gets his first goal today.

F DART

Dominic Solanke ($4,500) - Bournemouth's schedule to start the season could not have been more difficult. They get a winnable match here at home. Solanke averaged 3.5 shots per game last season. He's goal or bust, but it's worth a shot at his price.

M CORE

Kevin de Bruyne ($10,400) - All City attackers are core options. KDB's absurd talent and overall role in attack is stronger than ever. Don't overthink it.

M CASH

Marcus Tavernier ($4,500) - Wolves have conceded the most crosses and corners per match in the league thus far. Bodes well for Tavernier, who takes the majority of Bournemouth's set pieces.

Matheus Nunez ($4,300) - Not the most attacking minded player ever, but looks to have a share of set pieces in Wolverhampton for the time being. Cheap enough to use in cash or as a general value.

M GPP

Harvey Elliott ($6,100) - Firmino is too expensive to use as a core option this slate, as is Diaz in my opinion. Harvey is a fine mid-range option for your Liverpool stacks, or even as a one-off.

D HYBRID

Joao Cancelo ($5,400) - Doesn't have the same floor as TAA or Robertson, but feels a bit too cheap in this spot. I feel confident projecting Cancelo to score double digits in this spot.

Ryan Sessegnon ($4,300) - Spurs wing-backs is a great role for attacking upside under Conte. Still very cheap and now has defender eligibility.

Punt CB: Gabriel ($3,500), Ruben Dias ($3,300)

D CASH

Trent Alexander-Arnold ($7,600) & Andrew Robertson ($5,900) - Clearly a great spot, but I'm prioritizing upside in attack over floor at defender. Still great plays, but expensive.

GK HYBRID

Ederson ($6,000) - If you spend up, you probably go Ederson.

Mark Travers ($4,400) - Sneaky upset spot for Bournemouth after allowing nine at Anfield. I'd definitely expect things to be kept tight.

Nick Pope ($3,800) - Won't keep a CS, but should see plenty of shots.

Favorites from large to small:

Man City (-1200) vs Nottingham Forest (+2200)

Liverpool (-340) vs Newcastle (+850)

Arsenal (-220) vs Aston Villa (+600)

Tottenham (+100) @ West Ham (+270)

Wolverhampton (+110) @ Bournemouth (+265)

Interesting slate. Obviously construction hinges greatly on Man City, but Liverpool and Arsenal are also in great spots. Finding the balance between City and everyone else will be the key here (what's new?).

Almost all five matches have the potential to be lopsided, so it's not smart to completely "write off" any of the five games. City is a roulette wheel, but I think you need at least two attackers in any lineup you build, even with the other firepower on this slate.

I'll be in the discord chat tomorrow with some updates, a Q&A session, and my final thoughts on the slate.

Don't miss it.
