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. The slate features good matchups for the star players from Colorado, Edmonton, and Toronto. I will be avoiding one-offs from these teams’ top lines and top power-play units. For example, if your lineup’s main stack is EDM1, you should be rooting for the expensive COL players to fail, so I am not going to have Lehkonen or Nichushkin in my lineups even though they are pretty cheap plays with good upside.
TastefulTides: Single-entry and small-field GPPs are my preferred format. All of the Big 3 centers (MacKinnon, Matthews, and McDavid) are on this short slate. They are all in plus matchups and come with affordable linemates. I am giving the edge to MacKinnon. I am going to go heavy with his linemates at even strength and on the power play.
Hunter4ever89: I will be playing both large-field and small-field high-stakes contests today. This looks like it will be a fun, high-scoring slate. We have lots of stars playing in decent matchups. I will look get some Edmonton and Colorado pieces into my lineups together. I most likely will have to do some mini 2-man stacks and get additional value elsewhere to make it work. I am hoping this construction makes my lineups a bit unique compared to the conventional 4- and 3-man stacks.
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.
