You pick players and win money (or lose it if your dumn)

I'm only entering one game today as optimizer needs adjustments and not enough time to review things (low confidence in this line-up):

 

P Clayton Kershaw

C Carlos Ruiz

1B Adam Lind

2B Ben Zobrist

3B Cody Asche

SS Jose Ramirez

OF Khris Davis

OF Carlos Gomez

When you get the chance please post the projected point totals for the afternoon games, and i'll get the optimum lineups up!

Adam Lind a popular pick (35% owned in my tournament) (over 10k)

[NorthOf49]

Just entered my first 50/50. Let's make some money

[LTR]

I'm 2nd out of 50 in my FD 50/50 so far. Late addition Pillar is carrying me!

 

Doesn't mean much until most of the games have been played. I haven't even had an AB yet.

[LTR]

Do you really think I didn't know this?

 

Since you're bragging about being in "2nd place" already... no.

[LTR]

If you are trying to be a smart ass, f*** off.

 

Obviously I was just updating how Pillar was carrying me to an early good start.

 

*Passes CFnumber25 a beer*

 

Relax and enjoy the game. It's all good.

[jays4life19]

Kinda lame that Travis was not in the FD player pool. Looks like he was on DK though.

Yeah, once they set their line-ups for the next game they can't modify them (would be unfair) and since opening day line-ups were set weeks ago there were quite a few omissions.

[jays4life19]

7.66 points from Archer really hurts.

[jays4life19]

Sorry!

 

Don't be! Harper just went yard!

[Boxcar]

IDK about FD (DK is so much better its stupid) but Harper was a ridiculous bargain today.

[jays4life19]

P M. Bumgarner P SF@Ari $9,800 swap out

P Kyle Kendrick P Col@Mil $4,200 swap out

C Buster Posey SF@Ari $4,600 swap out

1B Miguel Cabrera Min@Det $5,000 swap out

2B Devon Travis Tor@NYY $3,000 swap out

3B Aramis Ramirez Col@Mil $4,200 swap out

SS Troy Tulowitzki Col@Mil $5,000 swap out

OF Ryan Braun Col@Mil $4,800 swap out

OF Bryce Harper NYM@Was $4,200 swap out

OF G. Stanton Atl@Mia $4,900 swap out

 

Thoughts?

 

Edit: This is DK

 

Hopefully you didn't make any changes.

 

Me thinks this looks like it's going to do quite good.

I made a lot of changes

 

=(

DK scoring is probably better but i like the site layout for FD and the fact my matches never get canceled due to them not being filled.

[jays4life19]

Ah. I hate when that happens.

 

I originally had David Price, Mookie Betts and Dustin Pedroia in my line up so i feel your pain.

[NorthOf49]

I went with the Fanduel afternoon roster. 98th out of 100 lol

I like DK's ease of playing contests, and it's much easier to make changes.

[nmrch]

JFas, your evening projection is based on the three games at 7pm and later right?

[TRM]

Should I only be doing 50/50s?

[Boxcar]

0 fors everywhere.

 

luckily your DK rosters are doing a lot better

[Boxcar]

Should I only be doing 50/50s?

 

I'd throw a few tourneys in too

[nmrch]

Yes. Though I'm trying to add in the max teams stipulation.

 

Would you mind sharing your projected points for those three games?

[nmrch]

Missing the Rangers and Giants lineups though.

 

oh, i forgot the lineups weren't in yet, the Rangers one just came in. I only asked because i thought i could get a couple of entries in for the "after hours" games and i want to test out the optimizer on fantasy cruncher too, see if its worth it.

What does a tourney entail?

[jays4life19]

What does a tourney entail?

 

Large payouts. 25$ Entry fee in a 10k person tourney would pay like 30k to first, 20k to second and 12k to third. Top 2500ish would be paid.

[Abomination]

What does a tourney entail?

 

Payouts are scaled to where you place, and only the top few percent (varies) qualify. Everything else is the same. The problem with the tourneys are that luck can play a much more prominent role.
