Call of Duty Daily Fantasy Helper: Week 12 London, 7/18/20

FanDuel is now offering Call of Duty League DFS, and we have another set of matches for Friday. If you are new to Call of Duty DFS, I put together a quick introduction piece to give you the basics. The rosters are similar to CS:GO DFS, and we'll take a look at a few different things to break down some players in good situations.

Quick note, this locks at 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 18th.

MVP - 1.5x Points

wuskin, London Royal Ravens ($9,700) is coming off a strong New York Home Series despite the fact London failed to make it out of Group Play. He posted 23.59 Kp10M (Kills per 10 Minutes) in Hardpoint, averaged 19.67 Kills per Game in Domination, and 8.50 kills per game in Search and Destroy. wuskin finished that event with an overall Kill-to-Death (K/D) Ratio of 1.29, which was the highest on his team.

London opened up strong yesterday with a 3-1 series win over Seattle and have a tough but winnable matchup versus Florida today.

iLLeY, Dallas Empire ($8,600) looked super strong yesterday and you should look to have him in your lineups. Dallas' last event was the Paris Home Series about a month ago, and at that event, iLLeY posted 25.13 Kp10M in Hardpoint, along with averaging 56 seconds of Capture Time per game. On top of that, he added 18.50 kills per game in Domination and 6.50 average Captures per game. The 5.83 average kills in a game of Search and Destroy are nothing to get exciting about, but they aren't anything to worry about, either.

A consistent option in all formats should continue to make iLLeY one of the strongest overall plays on the slate. This series against New York should trend towards four or five games, allowing plenty of time to rack up fantasy points.

Players

Skyz, Florida Mutineers ($9,300) are attempting to win the third straight event they are attending, which will continue to vault them up the overall standings. Their most recent event was the Paris Home Series -- which they won -- and allowed Skyz to truly show off what he is capable of. Overall, he posted a whopping 1.42 K/D and held a +79 kill differential.

In Hardpoint, he racked up 23.81 Kp10M and an average of 62 seconds of Capture Time per game. In domination, he posted 22.75 Kills per game and 5.00 captures per game. Finally, in Search and Destroy, he averaged 6.80 kills per game with a high of 11.

Louqa, Paris Legion ($8,900) played in last week's New York Home Series, and he continued to show why he is the best player on his team and one of the most overlooked players in the league. Paris (7-14) aren't a great team, so it's easy to look past them for strong players, but Louqa is just that -- a strong player.

He posted 28.25 Kp10M in Hardpoint, along with an average of 77 seconds of Capture Time per game. In Search, he posted 9.67 kills per game and faltered a bit in Domination, only averaging 13.33 kills per game. He led Paris in total kills for the first two game modes and is what you should focus on for evaluating his upside.

Team

Dallas Empire ($5,900) despite their higher salary, Dallas could be the best option in the team spot. With so many of the matchups being coin-flips, you can't help yourself from taking the safest overall option. If that means going to the team with the highest salary, that might be the answer since taking a losing team can swing your lineup in a big way. It will be a tough series versus New York, but Dallas has been strong all season, while New York has had a few strong weeks.
