I entered six leagues this week, but I was heavily invested in Spiller, Stafford, and Dez Bryant, I won't finish in the money in any of the big contests this week. It looks like I'm going to win my biggest game though, in a 10 person "expert" league. Even with only winning in one league, I'll win $112.50 on a $50 investment this week.I went with this lineup...

QB - Jake Locker

RB - Michael Bush

RB - CJ Spiller

WR - Calvin Johnson

WR - Michael Crabtree

WR - Lance Moore

TE - Martellus Bennett

PK - Gostkowski

DST - Bills

It really wasn't a great team, but barring a miracle from one of the players behind me, I should win.

2 out of 3 this week. Logging onto TE thread this morning was a mistake. The cowboys love caused me to diversify from my main lineup.

 
Sorry guys...I just copied most of your suggestions and my fanduel curse took over. I think I actually finished 50th of 50 in a 50/50 league. I'm 4 for 11 in 50/50s this week and that will likely drop to 2 for 11.

 
Sitting at 1st place in a 100 man $5 right now, looks like most of the teams right around me are done, hoping for an epic hooooold. Can't believe how bad the TB/DAL game turded out.

Your line-up:

QB: Ben Roethlisberger PIT @ OAK

RB: Michael Bush CHI vs STL

RB: Ray Rice BAL vs NE

WR: Vincent Jackson TB @ DAL

WR: Calvin Johnson DET @ TEN

WR: Steve Johnson BUF @ CLE

TE: Jason Witten DAL vs TB

K: Robbie Gould CHI vs STL

D: Chicago Bears CHI vs STL

 
Best game was 173 pts...on a free game...F!!

I had Charles in a bunch of my lineups and slowly purged him out throughout the week...F!!

Gronk killed me. Spiller and Bush getting hurt didn't help either.

 
Bad week for me. Had $375 invested and might be lucky to come away with $100. I had Torrey Smith in every game then got scared with the news Sunday morning and pulled him out of every league and replaced him with Crabtree. Also took the Eagles Defense which hurt and Spiller and McCoy as my RB combo. Honestly lucky to come away with any money.

 
So I guess this was about the best you could do this week (pending MNF)...pretty sure it's under $55k?

QB – Ben 32.16 (needs a TD removed?)

RB – Charles 37.8

RB – Andre Brown 26.5

WR – CJ 27.4

WR – AJ 29.9

WR – Torrey Smith 27.7

TE – Heath Miller 22

K – Succop 21?

Def – AZ 24

~248

 
I'm glad I went with more higher buyin leagues this week. I was flabbergasted when CJ went down and RGIII was having a terrible game, then I looked at the board and everyone was running those two guys. Of course, in the $25s, that wasn't the case.

 
Down $55 on the week. Took a bath on my "Sure thing" Dez Bryant pick. I also hosed myself by not taking my own advice (IN THIS THREAD! FML) and trying to get cute starting Romo/Dez/Mccoy/Witten in a bunch of Tourneys.

I did win $45 in $5 h2h games all of those I started:

Brees/MJD/Bush/Megatron/Green/Hawkins/Pitta/hartley/Arizona

 
If Big Ben's 4th passing TD is reversed, is it justification for Fanduel to change his state line? Plus or minus 4 points could made big difference for those in 50/50 leagues. How I understand the fanduel rules regarding revisions is that fanduel will not make the change?????

 
my first week at fan duel...i took it easy and only played a couple of leagues. should finish in the money on the 50/50 i played, finished 4th in a 10 team league (spiller going down killed) and way out of the money on a flyer 100 player league (just for kicks and giggles). i think i will end up clearing a grand total of $1 for the week, but I did get a good feel for how things work.

Helltoupee @ draftstreet. I'm currently in 2nd but will probably end up 5-10. :thumbup: thanks for posting the freeroll
 
Going to finish about even this week.

Spiller going down early killed me. Also, I didn't pick AJ Green.

 
My 2nd week playing. Will finish in the black again this week but not as good as last week. Learning my best play is multiple 50/50s, 65K, $5 & $10 games. Haven't lost out on a 50/50 yet.

Core combinations of:

Griffin/Newton

Foster/Spiller/Murray

AJ Green/Calvin Johnson/Harvin/Marshall

Interesting enough these were my mostly my core guys and I got killed. What popijt total are you guys seeing for the 25th spot in the 50/50 leagues?

I played 2 50/50s, both were $5 65K. In one 25th was 118 (I was 127) and the other was 128 (I'm at 148).And unless Rogers gets another 20pts by the end of this game, I'm gonna take 3rd in a $10/10 player league for $18.
 
whew held on to 9th in my $25 20 player 50/50.

Lost in my other match.

2 week totals.

$36 - entry 61.80 winnings.

doubled my deposit. I should just cash out now AND MAKE IT DRIZZLE :yes:

:P

:hifive: My 2 week total: 7 wins, 2 losses, $25 initial deposit is up to $65.74
including whatever bonus was released I'm at 52.64 :excited: :lmao:
4 out of 11 here. I pretty much rolled with whatever the big winners form last week and Dodds suggested. The Dodds inspired lineup actually got me 50th out of 50. I guess I'll try using your lineup this week. :mellow: Actually I'll chalk it up to variance this week, but I'm wondering if the games are as soft as people made them out to be.
 
Owned again this week.

Despite trotting out Spiller I still took:

First of 10 for $45

First of Five for $22.50

Fourth of 20 in a 50/50 for $18

3rd of 20 for $15

Net $62.50 this week after a net of about 80-something last week. over 150% ROI in 2 weeks.

I think I like Fanduel. :popcorn:
Yeah I was a "noob" a trotted out Spiller and RGIII ....I'm 3-2 - the 72 out of 100 and 79th out of 962 are my losses. So far I'm digging it.

I'm sure once I lose all my cash I won't deposit again though :unsure:

 
Finished up 20%. Placed in 4 of 8. Lost the footballguys weekly (2 entries), experimental bet on one big game lineup and one 20 man where 10th place team scored 132. With all the injuries and crazy games I'm thinking about just cashing out while I'm up.

Edited - Math is hard

Despite loading up on Cassel and Spiller, I somehow managed to break even this week. I think I'm going to diversify my entries a bit more going forward.

 
In two weeks I have turned $100 into $281.08

This week:

100 player, $5, 1pm only league - 4 out of 100 - +$70

$2K Snap, $2 - 41 out of 116 - +$8 - I played a flyer lineup. If I played my regular I would have finished 3rd and taken $150 :(

50 player, $25, 50/50 - 1 out of 50 - +$20

50 player, $25, 50/50 - 1 out of 50 - +$20

20 player, $10, 50/50 - 1 out of 20 - +$8

20 player, $10, 50/50 - 1 out of 20 - +$8

50 player, $5 Expert, 50/50 - 9 out of 50 - +$4

50 player, $5 Expert, 50/50 - 3 out of 50 - +$4

20 player, $10 Expert, 50/50 - 4 out of 20 - +$8

Two weeks Overall

50/50s - 9 for 9

Tournaments - 2 for 4

I am leaving a lot of money on the table by playing the 50/50s, but I am taking safe players. Some just happened to go off this week.

These guys were in EVERY lineup for me except the $2 flyer one:

CJ Spiller

M Bush

A Green

D Pitta

Chicago D

 
First week to play anything but free rolls, and I actually enjoyed it! :thumbup:

Original deposit of $25

3rd out of 50 in a $5 50/50 ($9.00 won)

10th out of 50 in a $5 50/50 ($9.00 won)

27th out of 279 in a $10 Sunday Special ($30 won)

Total balance after week 3: $54.80

Should have used more of my "safe" 50/50 plays in the tournament. Cardinals D was huge, so was AJ Green. What burns is that I took Charles out of my lineup in the tournament. :mellow:

Definitely like the 50/50s, I'll probably play in 3 or more of those next week and take my chances with the cheap ($1 or $5) tournament plays.

Is there a week 4 thread yet?When does FanDuel put out the new values for players?
They've already posted games for next week, just put a speculative entry into a $1 tournament.Gotta think Ponder at $6,900 is one of the best value plays for week 4. Brees, Vick, Newton, Stafford, Rodgers, and Brady are all extremely overpriced- the cheapest (Vick) is $8,500!

Did you enter those expert leagues earlier in the week or later? I've yet to see an expert 50/50 with cutoffs below 100. I'm seeing 107-115ish and that's with 10 and 20 mans.
