Mateos DK

After earning a point on the road in Toronto, Orlando City will return home to Camping World Stadium this Sunday, October 2nd. They will face the Montreal Impact, who are currently in the fifth playoff slot in the Eastern Conference at 41 points. Here are some players that we think you should 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. 


Kevin Molino 8.7 FPPG $6,700 -- Orlando City had a strong midfield performance against Toronto FC on Wednesday night. While the team was unable to score, Molino (along with Kaká, Carlos Rivas, and Matais Perez Garcia) were able to create chances. Look for Molino to make those connections with the midfield and create scoring opportunities against Montreal.


Joe Bendik 4.8 FPPG $4,500 -- Joe Bendik had four saves against his former team on Wednesday night, earning Orlando City it’s fourth clean sheet of the season. Bendik also had a strong performance last time Orlando City faced Montreal, making a crucial save on a PK that could have shifted the momentum of the game. Look for Bendik to make key saves when necessary and help lead the defensive mentality of the team.


David Mateos 2.7 FPPG $3,300 -- David Mateos has emerged as a leader of the defensive line. As part of Head Coach Jason Kreis’ defensive mentality, the first step to a positive result is a solid performance from the back four. Look for Mateos to continue to lead the defense and keep the ball forward.
