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. With a lot of the stars for the Avalanche out and their having a strong matchup versus Anaheim, I would have expected to like a lot of the leftover best players for the Avs tonight, but it seems they are in full rest mode for the playoffs- even for the players in the lineup. Yesterday, they had a close 5-4 game that, in normal circumstances, they would have played their top players a ton of minutes, but they really spread out the minutes. I doubt their 3rd or 4th lines have played that much in a close game all season. I’d expect more of the same. They are locked into an away playoff series with Dallas, and I think you can fade the expensive plays on the Avs and stick to the value plays.
Hunter4ever89: I prefer the large-field tournaments again. We won’t get a lot of early news today with earlier games and teams playing on back-to-backs, so I will look to gain an edge by paying attention to pregame line rushes and react to late news as we get it. We have seen plenty of players out of the lineup for rest purposes with the regular season winding down. Be sure to check in Discord for all the updates.
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.
