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: Single-entry GPPs. I don’t really like the high-priced options outside of Colorado, so I will have more mid-priced lineups than normal. I am also having a hard time differentiating goalie value today, so I will do a lot of stacking my goalie with some of his teammates to focus on getting a win and rolling the dice on saves.

TastefulTides: Single-entry and smaller-field GPPs are my preferred format. There are several different directions you can go in constructing lineups this evening. That should lead to ownership being spread out. I am going to lean on the Avalanche heavily against the Predators, who have the 2nd-worst record in the NHL. Nathan MacKinnon and company should really dominate this game on home ice, especially if Roman Josi continues to miss games.

Hunter4ever89: With 11 games and lots of teams in decent spots, I will be narrowing my pool down and just playing 1-5 lineups. I will put them in both large- and small-field tournaments as I usually do. I will look to be overweight on WPG and COL players compared to the field.

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

Robert Brown (aka Epignosis) was having lunch at a sports bar. A football game was on. He remarked to his wife that if he could have a second life, he’d like to be someone who enjoyed watching sports. That enjoyment began when he signed up for a fantasy football league that needed one more player. Since then, he has enjoyed playing NFL, NBA, and (especially) MLB DFS. When not teaching American literature, editing content for RotoGrinders (which he has done since 2019), or making lineups, Epignosis is rocking out or jazzing it up on one of several possible instruments.
