Before you set your DFS lineups for 2018 World Cup action on DraftKings or FanDuel on Friday, July 6, you need to hear what professional DFS player Mike McClure has to say. McClure is a DFS pro with nearly $2 million in career winnings, and he has crushed his DFS picks this season, cashing on multiple NBA, MLB and PGA tournament lineups in a big way.
And he's had some spot-on picks in the 2018 World Cup as well.
In the Round of 16, McClure rostered Brazil forward Neymar at $12,500 on FanDuel and $11,200 on DraftKings. The result: Neymar exploded for a goal and an assist in Brazil's 2-0 victory over Mexico. Anyone who had him in their lineup was well on their way to a profitable day.
For Friday World Cup slate, which features matchups between Uruguay-France and Brazil-Belgium, McClure loves French forward Antoine Griezmann at $11,500 on FanDuel and $8,300 on DraftKings.
Griezmann has been a huge part of France's attack, recording seven attempts on target in the World Cup, leading to two goals. He has a tough matchup against a stingy Uruguay defense in the quarterfinals, but the speed of teammate Kylian Mbappe should help open the field up and lead to multiple goal-scoring opportunities for the French in this matchup.
McClure is also loving Brazil's Neymar again at $13,000 on FanDuel and $11,200 on DraftKings.
He who has two goals and one assist in his last three games and is one of the top overall DFS plays for Friday's slate. Lock him in and watch one of the world's greatest players take on a Belgium squad that was shaky on defense against Japan in the Round of 16.
McClure is also targeting a player capable of producing big numbers who has a dream matchup on Friday, but has a price that won't break the bank. This pick could be the difference between winning your tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing.
