This Friday, Draftkings presents the DFS community with a one match TSL showdown slate! Let’s take a look at the one match slate that features Fenerbahce versus Kayserispor from a fantasy perspective!

*Important note: As of this writing, this match is scheduled to be played on 3/18/20 at 1pm ET without any fans in attendance. Barring any unforeseen changes, this match will occur as scheduled.

Let’s not waste any more time! Here are my player selections for the one match TSL Draftkings showdown contest!

Captain-Pedro Henrique-Kayserispor $9,000

Yes, I know that Kayserispor is currently at the bottom of the TSL standings with only five wins in 26 matches.  I also am aware that Kayserispor arrives at this week’s match on the heels of three wins in the team’s last five matches. In direct contrast to that, Fenerbahce has not won a match since January 25. Yes, you can certainly argue that Fenerbahce is a better team than Kayserispor. However, there is no doubt that Kayserispor is the team that is playing much better at this stage in the season

Having stated that, I am going with Pedro Henrique as my captain in this one match TSL DraftKings showdown contest. Henrique has an impressive eight goals in 20 matches played this season. More importantly, Pedro has two goals in his last four matches played. Henrique finished his last match on March 15, 2020 with a whopping 14.9 DraftKings points.

Flex Plays

Vedat Muriqi-Fenerbahce $10,600

With my first flex play, I am rolling with Vedat Muriqi. Muriqi will arguably be the best player on the field on Friday. He is an outstanding talent, no doubt. Let me provide some clear data to to back up my previous statement. In 25 games played this season, Muriqi has 13 goals! Additionally, in the 25 game span just mentioned, Vedat is averaging an impressive 14.1 DraftKings points a game.

Muris Mesanovic-Kayseripor $6,600

One of the big reasons that Kayserispor has three wins in the team’s last five matches is Muris Mesanovic. The man has simply been playing outstanding. More specifically, Muris Mesanovic has two goals and one assist in his last three matches played. I fully expect Muris to continue to play well on Friday afternoon.

Bernard Mensah-Kayserispor $9,600

Bernard Mensah has been playing great soccer over the last two weeks. How great? Well, in his last two matches played, Mensah is averaging a whopping 21.35 DraftKings points a match!

Mehmet Ekici-Fenerbahce $6,800

It should be noted that Mehmet Ekici has only played in five matches this season. However, in those five matches played, Ekici has seized his opportunity. In the five match span just mentioned, Mehmet is averaging 9.2 DraftKings points a game!

If you utilize the five players mentioned in this article, you will have $7,400 left to select your sixth and final player for your unique lineup!

As always, good luck!
