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 – On a slate this big and with a lack of obvious targets, I will largely be ignoring ownership and focusing on building high-quality lineups with solid correlation.
TastefulTides: Single-entry and 3-max GPPs are my preferred format. DraftKings did a better job of pricing up the studs. This makes lineup construction a little more difficult. It is currently leading me toward a more balanced-build approach. Also, I think I will be fading FLA and playing Yaroslav Askarov in GPPs.
Hunter4ever89: I prefer single-entry and the higher-stakes, small-field GPPs tonight. There are plenty of enticing matchups on the board, and I think ownership will be fairly spread out. I typically hand build these lineups, and I find it easy to be unique with my stacks. I will look to be over the field on Toronto, Carolina, and Florida while being mindful regarding whom I pair those stacks with to be different from the field.
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.
