How to pick a Daily Fantasy Sports Midfielder:

Just like defenders wide midfielders are a great option for points. Wide players will see a lot of the ball and will gain a lot of points for crosses (+0.75). Especially pick wingers who are playing against a weaker team or playing for a team who love to use their wide players. You can often pick up a cheap winger from a lower league team as you know this will be their only outlet. Wingers will also find themselves in goal scoring positions and will also create chances.

Another way to pick a midfielder is a to pick a player who plays in the 10 role which basically means to play just behind the Forward. Players who play in this role are usually players who can create chances from nothing. They are usually the play makers and most creative players on their team. This in turn means a lot of assists and hopefully goals. Great examples of this type of midfielder is Gylfi Sigurdsson who currently plays at Swansea and Christian Eriksen at Tottenham.

Typically try to avoid defensive midfielders. Although they may pick up points for intercepting passes (+0.5) they are also liable for giving away a lot of fouls (-0.5) and getting yellow carded (-1.5). At the end of the day they are there to break up the play and protect their defense so they don’t typically find themselves in scoring positions very often.
