DraftKings Players To Watch: Kaká Continues To Lead The Lions

DK Kaka

This week, Orlando City travels to Montreal to face their Eastern Conference enemies. The results of this game could have major playoff implications, and might put Orlando City in full control of their own destiny. Here are some players that we think you should consider for your DraftKings roster. 


Haven’t tried DraftKings? It’s easy. Each player is given a salary cap of $50,000 to draft their eleven player lineup. Players’ salaries are determined by their on-field performance, FPPG, or Fantasy Points Per Game.


Kaká 18.3 FPPG $10,000-- He had a special game against New York City FC, earning his first brace of his MLS career. Kaká is continuing to be a leader both on and off the field, and has continued to create opportunities on the offensive side of the ball both for himself and for his teammates. Look for him to create chances and take advantage of them. 


Matais Perez Garcia 7.3 FPPG $5,500-- Whether he is coming in as a substitute or starting the match, Garcia is a player that brings a spark to the Orlando City offense. He also does his part on the defensive side of play, winning midfield battles and drawing crucial fouls that help Orlando City keep the ball up the field. Look for him to play an integral role in the attacking game and maybe even earn his first goal as a Lion. 


Tommy Redding 0.5 FPPG $3,400-- Redding proved his versatility last week when he came in at the right back position in the game against New York City FC. While Redding usually plays center back, he says that he will play wherever his coach needs him. If Orlando City is going to beat Montreal, they will need to have a strong defensive performance. Look for Redding to play an important role in that defense.
