TL;DR summary
Soccer DFS value varies by position: forwards need 1.5+ PPD due to boom/bust nature, midfielders 1.6+, defenders 1.9+ (clean sheet dependent), goalkeepers 2.2+ (save volume + clean sheet). Stack attacking players from favorites against weak defenses for correlated upside.
Important things to know
Common soccer DFS questions
Forwards score mainly through goals and assists. Midfielders get points for passing, shots, and playmaking. Defenders and goalkeepers rely heavily on clean sheets (6+ bonus points). All positions benefit from minutes played as the base scoring.
Clean sheets are crucial for D/GK value. A clean sheet adds 6+ points, often doubling their score. Target defenders from heavy favorites or defensively solid teams. Avoid defenders facing high-scoring attacks unless the upside elsewhere is significant.
GKs score via saves (more saves = more points) plus clean sheets. The best GK plays are busy keepers facing lots of shots who still earn clean sheets. Keepers from slight underdogs can be excellent - they face shots but their team may still win.
Stack attackers (F + M) from heavy favorites expected to score 2+ goals. Include the primary goal scorer and assist provider. Add their defender for clean sheet correlation. Game stacks (both teams) in high-total matches provide GPP upside.
Always verify confirmed lineups before lock. Early kickoffs often have lineups 1-hour before. Rotation risk is higher for mid-week matches, especially in congested schedules. Have backup plays ready and monitor team news closely.
