With four games in Group G and H, Monday's showdowns are Colombia vs Senegal, Poland vs Japan, Belgium vs England, and Tunisia vs Panama. Due to the multiple games being played, lineups are back to their normal constructions. Below we bring you seven players you should consider as World Cup DFS lineup picks for Matchday 15 (on June 28th, 2018).
Not all are top-tier options, as there is a range of DFS value picks, sleepers and high-risk players mixed in.
Consider all of these players for your DFS lineups; however, at the end of the day, it is always your decision. Good luck, RotoBallers.
WC DFS Forwards to Consider
Robert Lewandowski - F, Poland (DK - $9,200, FD - $12,000)
While most DFS players will select Harry Kane as their marquee striker, underperforming Robert Lewandowski still presents an interesting option in today's slate. Poland have been eliminated from the tournament, meaning that they are playing for pride. Therefore, their talisman forward will have all of the motivation in the world to play spoiler to the team's in their group attempting to advance into the Round of 16.
Michy Batshuayi - F, Belgium (DK - $7,800, FD - $8,500)
Belgian forward Romelu Lukaku has been ruled out of the team's game against England today, paving the way for forward Michy Batshuayi to step into the starting lineup. After playing ten games and scoring seven goals in the second half of the season for Borussia Dortmund in Germany, Basthuayi sustained an injury which kept him out for the rest of the team's campaign. However, he will be fit for today's match and scored a goal after coming on for Lukaku last week, making him a good under-the-radar option today.
WC DFS Midfielders to Consider
Juan Cuadrado - M, Colombia (DK - $8,600, FD - $7,000)
Colombia have a good matchup against Senegal, and their best midfield option this tournament has been Juan Cuadrado. The speedy winger is exactly what the team has been looking for in their Group Stage performances; the Juventus midfielder is a good option to assist or score in today's match, a game that has a high scoring differential and should feature plenty of chances for Colombia.
Juan Quintero - M, Colombia (DK - $6,800, FD - $6,500)
Another good option for the Colombian national team is attacking midfielder Juan Quintero. Although he never panned out into the superstar he was projected to be at the club level, Quintero still has utility for the national team and played well in their match last week. Therefore, if he starts, expect the central attacking midfielder to be heavily involved with any offensive buildup for his team.
WC DFS Defenders to Consider
Kieran Trippier - D, England (DK - $5,500, FD - $7,000)
England have a very tough matchup against favorites Belgium in today's slate, but they have been one of the best performing teams in the tournament thus far. Additionally, without the presence of star forward Romelu Lukaku and winger Eden Hazard's low fitness levels, England find themselves with a much better chance to come away with the win. Therefore, there is a strategy where you would want an English wingback like Kieran Trippier in your lineups on the chance that he bags himself another assist and is able to keep a clean sheet.
Yerry Mina - D, Germany (DK - $3,800, FD - $5,000)
More of a upside-play on DraftKings and a decent Tournament option on FanDuel, Colombian center back Yerry Mina commands a powerful aerial presence on most set pieces and was able to score a header last week. Although their match with Senegal is expected to be a high-scoring affair, having a low ownership option like Mina in your lineups (especially on FanDuel) could greatly improve your chances of placing in today's slate if Colombia are able to keep a clean sheet.
WC DFS Goalies to Consider
Khadim N'Diaye - G, Senegal (DK - $4,300, FD - 4,500)
Alternatively, if you are going against the narrative that Colombia will dominate today's match against Senegal, a good starting option in between the sticks becomes Senegalese goalkeeper Khadim N'Diaye. N'Diaye has performed well so far this tournament and is expected to face a lot of shots regardless of the score in today's game, making him a good upside play on both FanDuel and DraftKings at an absolute bargain price. If you have several Tournament lineups, consider adding N'Diaye as your goalkeeper for today's slate.
Good luck this weekend!
