Hello,

I asked about this last year but got no response. Trying again... Would it be possible to add a feature/setting rule to stack only consecutive batters in a lineup? So 4-man stacks can only be 1-2-3-4, or 2-3-4-5, or 8-9-1-2, etc... Given the positive correlation between consecutive batters in a batting order, I think this could be an awesome feature to get lineups in a crunch with more upside.

Please consider this and let us know if it would be possible. Thank you.

Can you PLEASE add a “unique players per position” function for NBA like you have for NFL? This will help for users that want to hit all of their combinations of players at certain positions.

Something I think the cruncher needs ASAP for Fanduel's new NBA format is a step beyond # of "unique players per lineup" to # of "unique players per top 8 projected players in lineup"

Here is the scenario -

I would like to create a natural mass entry crunch for, let's say, 150 lineups. Set at 2 unique players per lineup. I don't want to lock any minimum player in for X number of crunches, and then another minimum player for X number of crunches. I just want a continuous 150 lineup crunch to give me the most natural top 150 lineups in order of projected points.

I set all $3500 players to equal points to ensure they have the same value, so that the crunch isn't biased toward minimum player, and to see how the crunch naturally optimizes and what the natural exposures are. I set a rule that every lineup requires exactly 1 $3500 player.

If I set the rule for 2 unique players per lineup, the crunch in many cases will just swap out 1 minimum player for another, and 1 "top 8" player for another. So the rule satisfies 2 unique players per lineup, but my "top 8" is actually one 1 unique. I don't want that. See my problem? I want my top 8 guys to be 2 unique for every lineup.

If I set a rule for 3 unique and re-crunch, it solves the problem partially, because it guarantees two "top 8" players are different for every lineup. However, it will wipe out any lineups from the previous crunch that were correctly built in a way I intended, by keeping the $3500 guy the same but giving me two new "top 8" players.

For Fanduel’s new NBA full roster format, they drop the lowest score on the lineup and only the top 8 count.

Could fantasy cruncher have a feature to optimize a 9 player lineup with the top 8 scorers counting towards the total score only? This could be a good way to account for the fanduel change.

1) There are two centers and four wings on the fanduel NHL roster. I want to stack each center with the two wing players that are on their lines using the stack tool.

2) I want to stack two defenders from the same team/PP unit together.

Both stack rules together should be possible, but fantasy cruncher is not letting me. Am I missing something dumb?

I try the following rules:

Stack ALL C with 2 W from SAME TEAM
Stack ALL C with 2 W from SAME LINE
Stack ONE D with EXACTLY 1 D from SAME TEAM
Stack ONE D with EXACTLY 1 D from SAME PP UNIT

I keep getting rejected on the crunch. I don't think this interferes with Fanduel's lineup restriction rules. So I can't figure out the issue.

Thank you.

This would be a step further than the typical team stack for offense of players for baseball. Is there a way to ensure stacking of consecutive batters in the batting order? Or is this something you could look into adding as a feature? I believe it would help to amplify the stacking effect. Such as when a player in your stack gets an RBI during an at bat, you know you are also more likely getting the run scored by the player preceding him in the batting order.

For example: Adding the batting order number as a data column, and then enforcing a rule that would only allow batters from the same team to be stacked if they are in consecutive order with each other.

So instead of getting stacks with the 1,3,6,8 batters in a lineup for instance, you could ensure that you will always get 1,2,3,4 or 2,3,4,5 or 8,9,1,2 etc. instead.

Is this possible or is there a way to already do it?

Trying to work in the cruncher for the single game slate tonight at 10:30. I was just working on it, and the site automatically switched all slates to 2/10 and now the slate is unavailable. I tried switching the URL back to the correct date and it doesn't work.

Any help? Needs to be fast before it's too late and I can't cancel.

I’m back with another question/request for Fanduel’s single game contest ha.

Tonight they have a single game slate for NBA - the last game of the night. This is the second or third time they’ve put this out in the past week or so. I would love for fantasycrucher to jump on this and provide an optimizer for this type of slate going forward. It looks like one game contests will be here to stay for all sports.

Will Fantasy Cruncher have a format for Fanduel’s one game Super Bowl tourney format?

FYI - A bunch of the player salaries for the 11/26/17 Prime time NFL slate were wrong tonight. Just to name a few:

- DeAndre Hopkins listed as $8300 here, but he's only $7600 on Fanduel
- Alex Collins listed as $6300 here, but he's only $5900 on Fanduel
- Danny Woodhead listed as $5900 here, but he's only $5400 on Fanduel
- Lamar Miller is $7500 on here, but only $6300 on Fanduel

Many more players too. I refreshed the site before and after selecting the prime time slate and it didn't help. Because so many players were over priced, I was not allowed to make an true optimal lineups.

Hello,

I think a great feature would be to make your generated lineups sortable, like your player pool already is now. Preferably by Player Name alphabetically, at least. Currently, I think right now your generated lineups are locked in by highest projection.

The goal would be to have the ability to quickly identify duplicate lineups if you're creating different sets of generated lineups using different projections. Currently, if you have two lineups in Fanduel with the same players, just in different order, they will not show up as duplicate entries. They will look like unique lineups.

Example Problem - If Lineup 1 looks like: Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, SG, SG, SF, SF, PF, PF, C... And Lineup 2 looks like: Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, SG, SG, SF, SF, PF, PF, C... They won't show up as the same lineup in Fanduel even though they have the exact same players. This is problematic for people who wish to avoid having duplicate entries.

Example Solution - If you could sort the generated lineups by player name (within the confines of each player's position), both generated lineups would show Chris Paul first, then Russell Westbrook. The lineups would then show up as duplicate entries on Fanduel, so people can quickly identify them and delete (for those who prefer unique lineups).

^Of course, this could be as much a Fanduel issue as it is a FantasyCruncher issue. Perhaps, ideally, Fanduel should fix this problem themselves, but it would be very helpful if it is something you can do in a future version.

Thanks!
