Back to the drawing board….

Aye I live in Madison hah

BBM claims Vucevic was ruled out just recently but that must be some kind of error.

I think he was already ruled out.

There is a sneaker out there comes in a green uniform

That happened often last year. It was at times Middleton or Bledsoe but not always both if memory serves me correctly.

I was just kidding! Nobody would seriously accuse you of being a fair weather fan :D

So I subscribed to a few and then overplayed it with some of my own but my own is really simple calculations. Then I weigh them to get an average.

Has it helped it GPPs is your question. No haha I’ve been talking about that. Although it does give me a good idea on relative ownership I have not used it to my advantage. For example it helped me fade Ish but then I end up choosing Herro instead of Robinson anyways yesterday.

In cash it has helped me a lot as my win rate has been good. However I don’t always end up with the “common” optimal build. I do some manual adjustments like take out Svi, Nader, Okafor the other night – guys who I think will be in blind optimal builds but who I hate.

I’m overall up since of cash games since I started using it but on GPPs I’m overall down so it’s cut into my cash winnings. I really want to use it for gpps though since that’s where the glory comes from.

You want them?

Ya he is lol

I just can’t see a path to failure from Bled/Mids/Jrue/Ersan at their price points. I’m fading Ingram though, always 1 guy who busts think thats him tonight with that price tag.

Yea lonzo might start too with Bucks going small.

Jrue definitely has failure ability with the Pelicans almost being full strength. He’s love by optimizers (but now Bledsoe and Middleton will cut into some of that) because of his season FP/game but that’s somewhat misleading since it’s without Ball for a lot.

I do see like a solid 30 FP floor but there isn’t like a lock of 45 FPs like last game.

Dwight Howard in play with no Kuzma? Seems like he gets up for Orlando

Sure ill PM you

While Middleton/Bledsoe are great plays, I’m not going to go crazy here as they have zero impact on so many other great plays tonight. Probably going to boost my entries by a couple lineups to cover.

who do we think starts? maybe go small with divincenzo or just go with ilyasova?

Yeah I’m running multiple LU’s with combos of them. Can see Jrue/BI failing, can’t really see Bucks guards failing. It’s DFS and I know there’s always a chance lol, but yeah.

Dang everything changed. Actually someone like Cedi who was previously liked by optimizers will now not be as owned. This is because everything just gravitated to the Bucks Pelicans, including the cheaper Buck who replaces Giannis (most think it’s Ersan and that makes most sense but I’m not 100% sure)

thinking c as Robinson

My automated build which has no input from me (but I’ll change it later, my first run is just a test run to get a gauge) came up with like 6 guys from that game alone.

And that’s not even accounting for Okafor since I already took him out of my pool and if he starts I can see maybe 7 guys from that game.

I had Cedi penciled into 1 lineup but whoever starts between Ersan/Pat is likely to be a much better play than Cedi no matter projected ownership.

Yeah my plan was to do one lineup but now i might change my stance

I just PM’ed you back

Bucks could do a lot of things, but I am pretty sure they will just start Ersan. Back him up with DJ Wilson. Might even see a little Dragon Bender depending on game flow. Guys like Middleton and Bledsoe may see a few minutes more than normal. It’s not the minutes though that make them good plays, it is the increased usage. Basically 39% of the Bucks usage now has to be distributed somewhere else.

I am mostly going balanced tonight myself, but I built a lineup on FD with Harden and AD along with pieces of the Bucks game, and it looks awfully interesting
