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 studs are expensive and do not have great matchups, and the good mid-priced lines seem to have better value and have a better correlation with their linemates on the power play, so I will be focusing a lot on them. PIT1, CBJ1, and MIN1 will be popular, but for good reason.
boggslite: Large-field tournaments – On a night when most of the top talent draws difficult matchups, I plan to spread my exposure rather than load up on a small core of stacks. I don’t love the value at forward, which will likely lead me to focus on mid-range stacks and utilize cheap defensemen to create balanced lineups.
Joda: Large-field tournaments are my preferred format tonight. With a large number of superstars available on this slate and no clear-cut option, large-field tournaments are very interesting. There is not any salary-restrictive stack outside of TB1, which is not in a great matchup, so it is easy to build balanced stacks, especially with a variety of cheap defensemen available.
