This weekend, we have a 13-fight card at Kansas on ESPN+. DraftKings has some solid contests considering that is a free card and I look forward to chasing the GPPs. The main GPP is a $15 buy-in and $25k belongs to 1st place with a total of $100k being paid out. They have a Qualifier for $175,000. There’ll be 100 qualifiers for that contest and they’ll compete for a $50k first location price and that $175k will probably be distributed between all 100 admissions that match. I won my very first chair into it a couple weeks ago and I will attempt to get my 2nd chair this week if at all possible. Those Qualifier only competitions can be actual bankroll suckers therefore be cautious chasing those too hard. I will likely stick to the top GPP this week and throw a small number of entries at that $25k decoration, and then I will likely take a few shots at the Q. I will also be publishing H2Hs as well as picking up H2Hs through the week to receive a good quantity of drama into cash games.
With that said, let us get into a few plays I like this week Together with my fade of this week:
Money Game play of the week — Yana Kunitskaya — $8,900
There actually aren’t any money game guards this week for me personally but I went with Yana because I fully expect this battle to go all 3 rounds so I enjoy the ground she brings to the table. I also think she wins the fight and I believe she will be the fighter going for takedowns. I really don’t know how large her ceiling is in cash games it doesn’t really matter a lot since we don’t have to strike 1st place in a double-up. I would anticipate about 10x from Yana at a decision win and I will take that all day in my money games.
GPP drama of the week — Louis Smolka — $8,300
Smolka fights often score highly as there are a lot of scrambles and all the grappling advances really accumulate. I anticipate this to be a very fun fight, but it should be Smolka that is the one going for the takedowns. I am always trying to find no less than 10x in my fighters and also at $8.3k I’d be shocked if Smolka did not get that with a triumph. The lowest he has ever scored in a win is 99 DK points and he has scored 162 vs Nguyen and he’s got a 61-point loss to Elliott that’s more DK points than Schnell’s triumph over Beltran. I love Smolka as a GPP drama here and when he wins I would expect near 100 DK points.
Play of this week — Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos — $8,000
To get a struggle I hope to stay standing, I’ve quite a bit of interest in this fight. I believe it’s going to be an action-packed struggle and I think someone gets pumped out. This is also the mid-range struggle of this week, so that I think a KO from either guy would have a good chance to set them on the optimal lineup. I enjoy it even more because I am picking the underdog to acquire the knockout and I anticipate Millender to function as higher owned fighter. I will have this fight in more than half my lineups, but I shall most likely have at least double the ownership on dos Santos over Millender. I think it’s a much better GPP fight than it’s for money games, but I think dos Santos is currently in play for cash since he is an underdog and that I have him winning. I don’t feel confident in many underdogs this week, but I will have a fantastic amount of exposure to dos Santos.
Fade of this week — Anthony Rocco Martin ($9,200)
At $9.2K. Martin will need a finish at the wages and that I really don’t see that occurring. When he wins a clear 30-27 decision, he then likely scores mid 70’s and at his price tag that will not win anyone a GPP. I don’t believe he goes for takedowns in this matchup and I believe he uses his wrestling to help keep the fight standing. Even if he does move for takedowns then I don’t see him filing Moraes. So, it has to be a KO out of him to cover off that wages and I am not inclined to take that risk with my money. That is why he’s my fade of the week.
