Hello,

like to vet out a field of players and then run the cruncher on that vetted down field to get lineups... with my adjusted projections....

it would be a time saver if you could just Exclude ALL so I can go in and add my guys...

Would be nice thanks


Thanks
You're missing the point.

Perception is reality.

The Government is investigating the two companies.... All you have to do is look at what happened to online poker and see where this is possibly headed.

I'm not saying you didn't read the article but that is the meat and potatoes about it.

Also to say that a competitive advantage isn't gained by getting the type of information that is available to employees of each sight is pretty myopic.

Finally if it is found that even a fraction of the consistent big winners are employees or worse people connected to employees of each company.....

DUNZO... for the fun

Dunzo for the ancillary businesses(like Fantasy cruncher)


This isn't good for ANYBODY all because a guy hap haphazardly did what he did and the company barely responded when it was brought to light..

Dratfkings pulling in show ads from ESPN.... not good not good at all...
Im sure he uses this site, maybe even reads this...

Why hasn't ANYBODY brought up the biggest story in DFS history?

DraftKings Employee With Access To Inside Info Wins $350K At FanDuel

Last week, DraftKings writer Ethan Haskell inadvertently leaked ownership and lineup data pertaining to his employer’s biggest contest—the Millionaire Maker—before the start of all the weekend’s games. Doing so made him at the least appear to be committing, if not straight fraud, something that looks a lot like it.

Winning a contest like Millionaire Maker, which has hundreds of thousands of participants, is less about buying up the best players than about finding market inefficiencies and selecting players who will help the fewest amount of your competitors while running cheap relative to their production. (This is basic tournament strategy; it’s the same reason you’re discouraged from picking all chalk in a large March Madness pool.) Thus, when you select a lineup, you have to try, blindly, to determine both the bargain value and how under-the-radar your lineup will fly.

Of course, if you have this data ahead of time—as certain DraftKings employees evidently do, or did—you have a massive advantage over your competitors. There’s no guesswork, only algorithmic scheming. You can remove the behavioral uncertainty from the equation and play knowing all opposition strategies.
Gary Barnidge should NEVER be in consideration for you when you're building your Fantasy Team.



Well as part of my research I like to look at the fantasy points against a TEAM by position, and NUMBER 1 was Oakland as the WORST team against an apposing team Tight END and If I had seen the Cleveland Browns Tight End ( I think i looked probably not)then maybe I cold use MY OWN JUDGMENT to take a flier on the guy by including him as a cheap option in my rotation, NEVER SAY NEVER kiddo... you never know. I only had a 5 man option on tight ends (was 4./5 on them performance wise) I should have KNOWN that Tyler Eferet was suspect

A. Because Cin Vs BAL was was a DIVISIONAL RIVAL matchup
B. because as bad as Baltimore's D has been they (according to the stats of Fantasy points AGAINST) they were STOUT against tight ends.... consequently on a SMALL portion of my lineups i got a zero for that position
NEVER SAY NEVER, maybe I would have used him as a last minute

Also I'm stunned at what seems to be a very condescending response BY the staff and OTHER members to my question. I can understand the other members maybe but the STAFF?

pish posh
This seems to be a common topic, whether it be MLB or Pro football but missing players seems to be a common occurrence around here.

I'm not good enough to know that Gary Barndige was missing. I use the Lineup Cruncher, Look at FC projection for each position Then do research based on those projections, I then narrow down to my field of players and use the tool to see how they fit together.

Upon a SEARCH of the forum, i see when this comes up the question as to WHERE you get your lineups from is asked and it is never been answered directly. The feed back is "if you notice a player is missing....email...let us know"

so WHERE do you get your lineups and PLEASE answere while i figure out way to CHECK if the lineups you have MATCH those on Drafkings....?
