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 stars are out tonight. Colorado will easily be the most-owned team on the slate, and if you fade them, I think you’d be better off going for mid-priced stacks that correlate well rather than pivoting to other stars. There are a lot of bad matchups or very expensive prices with the other stars on the slate.
TastefulTides: Single-entry and smaller-field GPPs are my preferred format. Colorado is the clear chalk. I am hoping that ownership will spread out a little bit due to the size of the slate. If it seems like people will be loading up on Colorado, I will try to differentiate my lineup using a contrarian goalie and some contrarian one-offs.
Hunter4ever89: I prefer the high-stakes tournaments once again. I will be playing my lineups in the main 150-entry max contests as well. With 10 games on the slate and several large implied team goal totals, I will look to get exposure to all the large favorites. I will look for under-owned stacks to play with them to make my lineups unique. Colorado, Vegas, Columbus, Dallas, and Edmonton are all top targets for me tonight.
Who is your favorite play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?

About the Author
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.
