With at least 70% of the field making the cut, are you making any changes to your typical roster construction or player pool?
Notorious: Given the size of the field, I am going to narrow down my player pool a bit more than usual. I am shooting for 35-40 golfers in my MME builds. And since such a large portion of the field is going to make the cut, I plan to exclude any golfer that I don’t think can realistically finish in the top 10 in this stacked field. Upside is key in these small-field events.
stlcardinals84: I run a tight player pool almost all the time, so there will be no changes to that approach for me this week. I will likely use a pool of 16-20 total golfers. My only real change will be a willingness to leave some salary on the table to give myself a better chance at unique lineups.
Jbails26: Even though most of the field will make the cut, I don’t feel the need to do anything crazy to my roster construction compared to a normal week. As usual, I will pay attention to the overall pOWN% of my lineups and make sure I am not playing lineups that are too chalky in my single-entry tournaments.
hondizzle: Yes, I want exposure to more cheap golfers than I would on a normal week. I will be heavier on some 3 or 4 golfer combos and mix in various cheap golfers.
