Anybody else trying this? 2 game slates are bad enough, but not sure how to attack this. I assume best is to get 2 qbs in there with one in the 2x flex, but that leaves you with little else.
Yep, but as soon as you put in either Brady+Foles or Brady + Gronk you are down to 10K average. So it's either take some subpar options with them or roll out a PK/Clement type of play?That is how I playedit: Brady and Foles, then added around them the best I could.
I have a feeling the kicker will be key.I don’t think Brady in the 2X spot will win the GPP’s. You need the unexpected breakout probably... could be Ajayi or Burkhead or who knows maybe Elliot. Fill in that outlier with Brady/Foles, 1 kicker and the top WR and you’ve got a win
bahhhh, what do I know.
Yes in cash games I think taking both kickers is a pretty solid option. You can get both kickers + both QB’s and still have $11.5k left which gives some decent choices. But then you’re torn between rooting for TD’s or FG’s and any rushing TD’s don’t so you much good.
Wonder what tripped the first bingo.Got bingo on the gronk td (second half td), but only won a ticket to another contest
I was just going to joke that we had another B&B coming in after they do all the winning. Seems the more active the poster here, the less they win.Well done RG... let your FBG pals in on your secrets... I think I barely broke even this year.
Very interesting. Especially your success with the rb-def combo. I posted awhile back that I read an article that had that as one of the lower correlations - stuff like qb/rb and pk/def being much higher. You look at 5 sites and get 5 different LUs and strategies.RatrodGasser said:I'm fairly new to DFS been playing for about 3 years but it took me that long to figure out what not to do. I usually lurk in the comments of this forum and gather info and add it to my notes I take when I listen to podcasts lol. I'm hesitant to share any insight as I got blasted on another forum for sharing my thoughts, I guess the "sharks" know more than me lol. I don't use LU optimizers and enter crazy amounts of LUs I usually play the 305 only slate on FD and the primetime slates. All of the DFS podcasts generally have the same info so theres no real edge there. I listen to a couple of the free ones that are on Spotify I think one is fantasy footballers. As far as strategy, and a lot of this you all already know, RB with D is almost always a must, kickers are key I try to pick the one with the biggest leg or home kicker in a dome or stay away from dome kickers on the road outdoors. On the small slates where you have to differentiate better I always took the lowest owned QB or the guy that I myself looks at and says, "hes got no shot tonight" because chances are most people are doing the opposite. ill then pair up that QB with his top one or two target getters or ill take the worst D on the slate with that teams RB1 then payup everywhere else. I'm not the best at explaining my thoughts but that's pretty much what I based my LUs on this season. I cant wait to try MLB I'm sure theres some stacking strategy to learn there, ive got some research to do.
I hear ya idk this was just what worked for me as far as RB and D. I'm kinda glad the season is over I need a break from thinking lol.Very interesting. Especially your success with the rb-def combo.

I tried MLB for the first time last year and had decent luck with gpps. I think most big nights were going with an odd P (like a pitcher in Coors) and/or a bottom of the order stack of batters. Looking forward to the season, and will probably dabble a little more with cash entries this year too.
Agree on that last part. I get sucked into trying NBA, golf, and EPL when I am bored because I am addicted, but I should take a break a bit before MLB, since I have liked that the most so far of the dfs sports.I hear ya idk this was just what worked for me as far as RB and D.

Awesome year! And thanks for the subsequent post about your strategy. Would you mind discussing what types of contests you enter and how you distribute your lineups each week? Is it 50% cash and 50% GPP for example? And how much do have in play each week?i was 8 pts away from being tied with the other guys for 30k :( still made some cash. My FD total winnings this football season was 29k I learned a lot and cant wait until next season. Gonna give MLB a go this year.
I play FD only and mostly play the 305 only slates and the primetime (Sun night Mon night) slate. I only play GPPs and enter the $4-$7 contests. At most I have about 15-20 LUs total for the day. I will throw a few darts at the main sometimes but not every sunday. Like I posted earlier it took me almost three years to figure out what not to do. Ive come a long way from jamming every "popular" guy I could into a LU to starting Beathard and the niners D which won me some nice $. I take a lot of notes when I'm listening to podcasts which helps. LU optimizers are a waste a $ unless youre in it with 4 or 5 other guys who can band together and cover almost every scenario with 700 crazy LUs (that's what I read anyway). I'm hoping there will be an MLB thread on here so I can try my luck and see how everyone goes about constructing LUs.Awesome year! And thanks for the subsequent post about your strategy.

I mostly dabble in GPPs on FD and DK and would have to win several GPPs to get to 29K for the year
Decent read and gives you some idea who here plays MLBI'm hoping there will be an MLB thread on here so I can try my luck and see how everyone goes about constructing LUs.
Thank you!Decent read and gives you some idea who here plays MLB
