For those that don’t know, Fan Duel is an one day fantasy league type of thing. You deposit real money and sign up for as many leagues as you want for the day. Buy in for a league is anywhere between $1 and up.
There are different leagues such as head to head (you versuses one guy and winner takes around $90 of the money), tournament (10,000 people join for $2 and the top 1000 get money. First place gets $2000), etc
Anyways, you then have to make a team for the league you signed up for. The catch is that there is a salary cap of $35,000. So guys like Trout or stud starting pitchers will cost a lot and you’ll have start some scrubs at other positions.
The objective is to get the most points.
Hitting
A out is -0.25 points
A single, walk and HBP are one point
A double is two points
A triple is three points
A home run is 4 points
A RBI is 1 point
A Run is 1 point
A SB is 1 point
Pitching
A K is 1 point
A inning pitched is 1 point
A ER is -1 point
A win is 4 points
I’ve been playing for a week now and it is a lot of fun. It would be cool if I had some people to discuss strategy with!
