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?

TastefulTides: Single-entry and 3-max GPPs are my preferred formats. The slate seems void of really strong cheap value, which is going to force me to go more balanced with my one-offs and stacks. There are plenty of strong skaters in the $5,000-$7,000 range that we can use to build winning GPP rosters.

Joda: My preferred tournament format to play on this slate is single-entry and 3-max GPPs. I think there are some really strong plays on defense in the $4,000 range, which makes balanced roster construction easy. Whereas many slates lean toward a stars-and-scrubs build, this one does not feel like one of them. I am not thrilled about the options in net tonight either, so keeping a tighter core makes sense.

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