CS:GO DFS Captain Considerations

BlameF has one of the highest upsides on this slate. He is averaging 65.8 DK points per game and has shown amazing form over the last month. Over his last 55 maps played, he has produced a K/D ratio of 1.41 while having a .76 kill per round rate and only a .54 death per round rate. He is priced up at $9,000 which makes him the most expensive player on the slate but that should not deter you away from rostering him. 

BlameF has had seven straight games where he has produced over 60+ DK points per game and has averaged 86.4 DK points per game during that seven-game stretch. He is viable in all formats and should be a very popular choice on the slate. 

Brollan is reasonably priced on this slate and is only $8,400. He is averaging 55.9 DK points per game and has a 1.09 K/D ratio over the last month of games played. He has been the most consistent Fnatic player this year and has a .73 kill per round rate which shows how active he is each round. 

Brollan has struggled recently from a DK scoring perspective but Fnatics has faced some high-quality opponents recently. With the given matchup, Brollan should be able to show some upside in this matchup and at a more discounted price than normal, he could really be valuable to your lineups.

Other captain plays: syrson, stavn, f0rest, Bubzkji, mantuu, KRIMZ, tabseN

 

CS:GO DFS Value Plays

XANTARES looks to be mispriced on this slate as he is only $7,000 which is very cheap for the way he has been playing. Over the last 35 games played, he has had a 1.18 K/D ratio and has had a .72 kill per round rate while only having a .61 death per round rate. He is averaging 52.6 DK points per game but has eclipsed 80+ DK points in three of his last four games played. 

XANTARES brings major kill upside as he has averaged 57.5 kills per game over that four-game span. He is one of the better overall plays on the slate and could be used in the captain spot as a value pick which opens up salary savings for your lineup. 

TeSeS could fly under the radar on this slate and with his price point being at $6,200, he could be a great salary saver play. Over the last 34 maps played, TeSeS has produced a 1.15 K/D ratio while having a .74 kill per round rate and only having a .64 death per round rate. 

Over his last eight games played, he has eclipsed 50+ DK points and 40+ kills in six of those contests. He has been pretty consistent and has had 64.7% of maps played over the last month with a 1+ rating. TeSeS could come in lower-owned which could really help in large gpp tournaments.

Other value plays: acoR, sjuush, cadiaN, poizon, Marko?, ISSAA

Top CS:GO DFS Stacks

Fnatic will be a popular team stack on this slate and for good reason. They are currently ranked #2 overall in the world and take on Nordavind who is currently ranked #45 overall. Fnatic comes into this matchup as winners of three of their last five games while Nordavind has dropped three straight games. Fnatic has played tougher quality opponents and has only produced a team K/D ratio of .93 over the last month while Nordavind has produced a 1.00 K/D ratio over their last month of games played. 

This looks to be one of the better teams to target for a potential 2-0 sweep. Brollan is the best player on this squad as he has led the team in K/D ratio over the last month. Flusha and KRIMZ both are great stacking pieces and would fit in nicely due to their price point. 

Complexity is another team that deserves consideration when building your lines and looking for a team to stack for this slate. They have been in great form recently and have won four of their last five games played. Complexity comes into this match being ranked #20 in the world while Japaleno is ranked #71 overall. When looking at the last month of games played for both squads, Complexity stands out big time. They have produced a 69% winning percentage over a 55 game span while Japaleno has only won 28% of their last 14 games played. 

As a team over the last month, Complexity has produced a K/D ratio of 1.13 while Japaleno has produced only a K/D ratio of .94 so the recent form edge goes to Complexity. BlameF leads this squad with his K/D ratio from the past month and is a must-play if stacking Complexity. K0nfig, obo, and poizon are all viable in Complexity stacks as they have all produced a K/D ratio above 1.00 over the last month and are all reasonably priced.

Other stacks/teams: BIG, MAD, Dignitas, OG
