Fanduel survivor (1 Viewer)

7/10 advanced. 2 fumbles lost by Wilson late last night cost me. The weekend's final parting gift.

Can someone point me to a strategy piece on how to play multiple entries? Has Dodds written anything? I am reading the Cracking FD book but haven't seen anything about this type of game.

Think of the first few weeks as essentially a double up or 50/50. You want high floor players. After that, it's more like a GPP and you need players with upside that can go off.

 
45 of 45 coming into this week survived. Here's the equity calculation:

(45/32,000) x $250,000 = ~$350

This week the cut line goes from 75% to 62.5%... 20,000 of the 32,000 survive.

 
Has anyone dropped any entries? 9/9

I have a feeling this will be the week that a ton fall.

I dropped 3 in the 1st week thanks to Wilson's 2 late fumbles. Pretty embarrassing but what can I say -- week 5* was a dumpster fire for me.

EDIT: That should be "week 4". Week 5 was actually pretty kind to me.

All 50 of my lineups have advanced. So far, I have only had one lineup for all 50 lineups for the first two weeks. I am likely going to continue this option until I either get knocked out or I get into the cash. Then I will start diversifying

Really from a strategy standpoint, it is up to you on how you want to handle this as each person has a different agenda/end game. Using an example of 50 lineups

1) If your goal is to get as many lineups into the money as possible with as little risk as possible than you want to diversify as much as possible. 25-50 unique lineups.

2) If your goal is to get some lineups to the final, and some lineups to cash, but taking on some risk than you want to diversify your lineups into 5-10 unique lineups

3) If your goal is to get as many lineups into the finals while still being ok with having high risk then you ride one lineup as long as you can. 1 unique lineup

Are you willing to share how many different lineups you did each week? If not, no problem I understand.

Not that many. Last week I had four different lineups for Survivor and meant to enter each lineup 12 or 13 times, but a mis-click led to one of my GPP lineups being used exactly once instead by mistake, and that's the one that happened to miss the cut.

The week before that, I entered one lineup 30 times, another 14 times, another 2 times, and I had four others that I entered once, including the one that missed. (I have no idea why I did it that way. I can't remember two weeks ago and had to look that up in my history.)

Cool, thanks! I've gone all in with a single lineup (50x) both weeks and luckily survived both weeks so far (as I finished in the bottom half but not low enough to get eliminated -- the same lineup did not cash in 50/50's either week). Trying to decide what to do doing forward, whether that be trying to get as many lineups into the finals with disregard or start diversifying? I know that is more of a personal question based on what each person is comfortable with risking, but I'm still looking for my first big score and just trying to figure out a good strategy. The $250 in entry fees is meaningless to me, but I'm thinking I should diversify just because I'm lucky to still be alive.

I have 5 that should be safe (126.5 and 134.6 + Brown) and 2 that are iffy (101.9 with Donnell and Brown to go). I would guess the final cut line will be in the 115-120 range.

 
Just in case anyone did not hear, the trip for the top 5 winners will no longer be in Vegas due to the Nevada legislation. They have not announced a new location yet.

I barely made it by this week with my single entry. My line up scored a solid 115.34 with a cutoff of 114.9

Wow, that sucks. I assume for the whole FFPC or whatever they call it, too, and the Bracket challenge.

Can I get a Playboy mansion?

No kidding. They need to hook up with Caesars quick. Caesars needs whatever cash stream it can find. FD needs access to the Nevada market. Caesars would also allow FD access to the other states protecting their current casino interests.

 
Anyone know what FD is doing for the Nevada residents who are still alive in the survivor tourneys? Are they just refunding the $5 entry fees?

I ask because I'm in Florida and still alive in the survivor.....afraid FD will pull out of Florida soon.

 
Heavy ownership of the Cards passing attack tonight (at least Palmer and Fitz). 1 of my lineups is safe, 3 should be OK (117 with Fitz), and my 5th is really at risk (96 with Smith and Floyd). At least Smith (8%) and Floyd (8.7%) aren't too heavily owned.

 
Half of my lineups are safe, the other half I'm 11 points above the cut with Michael Floyd left so I think I'll be safe but looks like the cardinals are heavily owned so I'm hoping for a low scoring game and that the line doesn't move too much.

I only entered 1 team, and currently sitting at 103 with Palmer, Fitz, and Catanzaro left. I definitely see the benefit of multiple lineups now, and will enter more than one next year/time.

 
Ownership numbers are so crazy that even with no one really going off, my Fitz lineups are on the outside by 0.36 at half. Sheesh. I need a Fitz TD at least it would seem.

 
This has been one of the craziest weeks I have seen with several players with super high ownership. (normally there are a couple players but I can't remember ever seeing this many players this highly owned):

Gurley: 68.2%

Freeman: 57.9%

Fitzgerald: 45.1%

Rams Defense: 44.6%

Palmer: 33%

Rivers: 22.6%

Moncrief: 33.2%

Hopkins: 27.3%

I'm sure I'm missing some others but just clicked through a few lineups.

I still have all 50 entries alive in this thing, and am starting to get nervous/excited. Hopefully I can at least get most of them to min-cash next week. One step at a time.

Dropped 10 entries by less than a point and a half.... one more Palmer to Fitz completion, or Catanzaro not missing a FG and/or PAT and they'd still be alive!

 
Any thoughts on what the cut score will be after tonight? Sitting about 3 points above the current line with Carolina's Defense going tonight. This is my favorite contest that I've done on Fanduel, so I'm hopeful that it won't be over, not to mention wanting to get into the money.
