  • Joshua King (9)
  • Timothy Castagne (9)

Top DFS Targets

A quick overview of our top player picks for the upcoming slate

Antoine Semenyo — Semenyo is the obvious standout, as he’s coming off a great individual season and is off to another fast start in 2025/26 so far.

Alex Iwobi — While this is a tough fixture away from home, Iwobi would be our preferred play on the other side of the matchup. He’s become an integral part of Fulham’s attack since joining the club.

Good luck!

Monday, September 29

There is one match on the schedule for Monday, and we’re here to break it down from a DFS and betting point of view

Here’s the schedule:

Everton (-155) vs. West Ham (+425)

Leaders in shot-creating actions for Everton so far this season (Football Reference):

  • Jack Grealish (25)
  • Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (20)
  • James Garner (17)
  • Iliman Ndiaye (12)
Jack Grealish Underdog EPL
Pictured: Grealish’s Underdog EPL Projections

Leaders in shot-creating actions for West Ham:

  • James Ward-Prowse (19)
  • Jarrod Bowen (18)
  • Lucas Paqueta (10)
  • El Hadji Malick Diouf (9)

Top DFS Targets

A quick overview of our top player picks for the upcoming slate

Jack Grealish HIGHER Than 0.5 Shots on Target
Jack Grealish HIGHER Than 0.5 Goals + Assists

Grealish, on loan from Man City, has instantly become Everton’s most dangerous player.

The attacking midfielder has logged four assists while averaging 5.98 shot-creating actions per 90 minutes over the team’s first five EPL matches.

This is a favorable spot for the Toffees at home against a Hammers side that’s been far from convincing early on this campaign.

Check back after starting lineups are released for final picks and analysis.

Soccer Props Today – Champions League Picks & Analysis

For each main UCL slate, we will break down the matches and pick out our favorite soccer player props.

Wednesday, October 1st

Another busy UCL slate awaits.

Here’s the schedule:

Qarabag vs. FC Copenhagen
Royale Union vs. Newcastle
Arsenal vs. Olympiacos
Barcelona vs. PSG
Bayer Leverkusen vs. PSV
Dortmund vs. Athletic Bilbao
Monaco vs. Man City
Napoli vs. Sporting
Vilarreal vs. Juventus

The highlight is the banger matchup between Barcelona and PSG, though there are a few interesting spots to consider for DFS and betting.

Top DFS Targets

A quick overview of our top player picks for the upcoming slate

Serhou Guirassy

It looks like Guirassy will be part of the starting 11 for today’s home date with Athletic Bilbao. He was dealing with a knock but was able to train and is expected to be available, which is a huge boost for Dortmund.

Serhou Guirassy
Pictured: Guirassy’s Underdog UCL Projections

The striker has four goals through four Bundesliga matches this season and was excellent throughout last year’s UCL campaign, scoring 13 goals with four assists in 14 appearances (12 starts).

Bukayo Saka

UPDATE: Saka is not starting. We will pivot to Viktor Gyokeres to score a goal instead.

The Gunners recently welcomed Saka back from injury. He played 45 minutes as a sub against Man City and then logged 70 minutes versus Newcastle this past weekend, so it looks like he’s close to full strength again.

Bukayo Saka Underdog EPL

Saka is a big talent and could be worth a look at home against Olympiacos, considering Arsenal is a massive -600 ML favorite. We prefer his goal/assist projection, available at a 0.83x multiplier on Underdog.

Nicolas Pepe

This one carries risk, but Nicolas Pepe is intriguing, even in a tricky home encounter against Juventus.

Nicolas Pepe Underdog

The direct attacking player, who used to ply his trade with Arsenal and Lille, has already totaled 36 shot-creating actions in seven La Liga matches, at least 15 more than everyone else on the Villarreal squad (Football Reference).

Be sure to check back later after starting lineups are released for final soccer picks and analysis.

Good luck!

Tuesday, September 30

It’s a busy day in the Champions League, with two early matches and then a full set of games later in the day.

Here’s the schedule:

Atalanta vs. Club Brugge
Kairat Almaty vs. Real Madrid
Atletico Madrid vs. Eintracht Frankfurt
Bodo/Glimt vs. Tottenham
Chelsea vs. Benfica
Galatasaray vs. Liverpool
Inter Milan vs. Slavia Prague
Marseille vs. Ajax
Pafos vs. Bayern Munich

The biggest favorites on the board are Real Madrid (-1000), Bayern Munich (-750), Inter Milan (-340), Marseille (-230) and Atletico Madrid (-225).

Top DFS Targets

A quick overview of our top player picks for the upcoming slate

Kylian Mbappe & Vinicius Junior

Real Madrid is riddled with injuries, but the squad is still extremely strong across the board ahead of this away date with Kairat Almaty.

Madrid should dominate possession and create a lot of scoring chances, and Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior are the two standouts for the visitors.

Kylian Mbappe Underdog
Pictured: Mbappe’s Underdog Projections

Mbappe has gotten off to a scorching start early in 2025/26, scoring eight goals and adding an assist through seven La Liga matches. He netted two goals in his first UCL appearance of the season.

For a slightly discounted option, we can look at Vinicius, who is quite an offensive force himself. The Brazilian has four goals and three assists in seven league matches so far.

Harry Kane

It’s hard not to mention Kane in a plus spot for Bayern. The German outfit is a heavy favorite despite being away to Pafos, and Kane’s ability and immense role for the club are undeniable.

Harry Kane UCL Projections

The striker has been in crazy good form in the Bundesliga, having totaled 10 goals and three assists in only five matches. He scored twice in the team’s UCL opener as well.

Hakan Calhanoglu

Inter Milan is in a favorable-looking position as well at home to Slavia Prague, so we have interest in the likes of Hakan Calhanoglu, Lautaro Martinez and Federico Dimarco.

Calhanoglu’s goal/assist projection, in particular, is worth looking into for Tuesday’s match at the San Siro.

Though he’s not in his prime anymore, the Turkish midfielder is one of the most experienced and talented playmakers in the UCL.

Good luck!

Soccer Props & Betting Strategy Tip: Understanding Odds

Just like in other sports, it’s important to understand the macro game environment in soccer. If a team is heavily favored, such as Manchester City against a weak Premier League opponent, that squad is likely to control possession and create a lot more scoring chances.

Understanding team dynamics and who will be in the best opportunities to succeed and fall short of the mark will help you narrow down your favorite soccer props and betting picks.
