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?

Moneyball16: Large-field GPPs – In terms of value, the TBL/FLA game is a bad one to target, but I think there could be some game theory reasons to like it for either side. TBL1 is very expensive with a rough matchup, but as a line, they still have as much upside to truly break the slate as anyone. And Florida as a whole could have an underrated matchup. Tampa is a good team, but Florida is at home, and Tampa’s regular starter Andrei Vasilevskiy played yesterday, so Florida should be facing their backup Jonas Johansson. He might be the worst backup in the league.

Joda: Large-field tournaments are my preferred format. There is some important news to monitor with Columbus as Zach Werenski‘s status is up in the air. If Werenski were to miss, we would see value open up on the blue line there. Columbus also has a min-priced goalie, Jet Greaves, who really opens up roster construction. Florida scored twice (shorthanded) against Tampa Bay last night, so back on home ice, they could exploit Tampa Bay some more, especially if Andrei Vasilevskiy does not get the nod on consecutive nights. Keep an eye on our Discord for the latest news as things may open up.
