What is your preferred tournament format (e.g. large-field, single-entry) to play on this slate? How do you plan to beat that field of opponents? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?

TastefulTides: Single-entry and 3-max GPPs are my preferred format. Dallas is the clear and obvious choice when looking for points on this slate. They are, however, priced very high. If you are looking for a couple of teams that aren’t priced as high as Dallas, then Winnipeg and Washington are my preferred targets.

boggslite: Large-field tournaments are my preferred format tonight. Even with only 5 games on tonight’s slate, almost every matchup is in play. My favorite targets are Dallas, Winnipeg, and Utah in their respective matchups, and I will mix and match my exposure around those 3 teams. I will likely spend up at goalie, as there is too much risk with many of the cheaper options in net.

Who is your favorite play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
