DraftKings Players To Watch: Mateos Looks to Lead Defense

DK Mateos

On Wednesday, Orlando City faces off against Toronto FC as the team looks to find the balance between their offensive and defensive strengths. After a strong defensive performance against the Colorado Rapids that earned Orlando City a clean sheet, the team will look to score some goals at home. Here are some players to 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 16.9 FPPG $9,800-- As the team captain, Kaká will look to lead his team to victory on Wednesday night. He had a very good performance against Chicago, and while the offense couldn’t find the back of the net against Colorado, Head Coach Jason Kreis felt that Kaká had a very good showing on the left side. Look for him to help his teammates find the back of the net, or score a goal for himself.


David Mateos 6 FPPG $3,100-- The defense had a strong outing in Colorado this past weekend, and while Kreis didn’t think the defense had a clear leader yet, he thinks that Mateos has the ability to step into that role. Mateos had a couple of strong blocks against the Rapids’ best chances this weekend. Look for him to continue to make those kinds of saves against a strong Toronto offense. 


Matais Perez Garcia 4.8 $5,700-- Whether he’s in the starting lineup or coming off the bench, Garcia has a fierce ability to make an impact on games. He created some chances in the match against Colorado, and gave the offense a boost in his first match against the New England Revolution. Look for Garcia to connect with players like Kaká and Cyle Larin and help create offensive chances.
