Still waiting.
Guessing this wasn't a good idea?
Can we get a little pop up that shows the players last 5 game scores or so when we hover over a players name. No clicking, just a little pop up by the cursor that disappears when you move? Just the fp's they scored?
Awesome, thanks. Sorry for these amateur questions lately.
At work I click names I like (thumbs up) but at home they don't register when I upload and I have to look for them. What am I missing?
okay thanks!!!
Pardon my ignorance, but if I import two sets of projections and run FC will it take the highest of the two? If it does I'm not sure how to do it. I can only run by one or the other.
Be able to upload two or more sets of projections and then

"use highest"

or

"use average"
Thanks Dave, that's pretty much was all I needed.
Or to make it easier.

"Add everyone over 10000 to a group"

Add everyone below 10000 to a group"

Add everyone between 3000 and 7000 in a group"

something we can customize.
After we create a group, is there a way to highlight a player from the fool and click something that says "add to group" we've created for the day? As of now I have to type each one in manually. Is there an easier way or could there be an easier way?
Anything new with editing line ups? I can't for some reason.
I respect that. For now I'm just playing h2h and/or 50/50 so I just need to do one line up which isn't hard at all. For gpps though it would be very useful. Thanks for your response.
I'm not sure I understand. I was asking will FC be able to run line ups if I set groups equal to tiers on dk.


I don't think that would work, since the other rules would still be applied regarding the positions.[/quote]


okay that's what I thought.

also, the suggestion of creating a template that allows us to make our own tiers and place players is out of the question.

if you could just set up an 8 position template that ignores cap and position that would be very useful. I can do my own work to input tiers and i'm sure many others wouldn't mind either.
I'm not sure I understand. I was asking will FC be able to run line ups if I set groups equal to tiers on dk.
but wouldn't the line ups still be the generic 2 sp, 1c, 1 first base, etc plus be cap restricted? if we could turn off cap and allow as many of a position it would be fine.
Is there any way you can set up a template where the user must input the players? i.e.

How many tiers does this game have?

How many players does each tier have?

Which players do you want to add to tier 1, 2, 3,...etc.

I don't mind doing the leg work if you can get me a template for these games.
i suppose that works. thanks.
say i want to play curry and green at the same time. can we get an exposure setting to force them. i.e. exposure 35%, it forces the "group" in 35% of line ups.
thanks.
Throughout the day I have to use two computers. Exposure and projections follow but it seems groups and players I click /unclick do not. Am I doing anything it wrong?
i figured it out thanks
awesome, thanks, this saved lots of time. any input on my other suggestion?
basically any easier way to add players to a group other than typing.
If this is an option please let me know.

I would like to be able to set up the option "if i'm rostering x do not roster y."

for instance i never want curry/durant in the same line up.

i don't want derozan/lowry in the same line up etc

not only that i would like it SAVED to where i never have to change it.

every time the warriors play, it remembers, raptors play, it remembers.

however, i would like the ability to "turn it off for today."
I see. Well if you guys can figure something out make sure to send an email about updates on it. That will help so much. Thanks for explaining.
Okay. If that's the case have people upload the csv without names in there. Just the line up numbers? Or have them upload dummy line ups? It's the export that matters in this instance. Not what the upload is.
Okay thanks. Yeah this would really help especially if I'm not at a computer. It's impossible for me to do a mass edit from my phone.
If I'm doing this wrong please tell me. If I need to edit entries this is what I have to do.

1. export fc crunch in excel.

2. download DK entry edit form.

3. cut and paste fc crunch to dk entry edit file

4. upload dk entry file.

again, if i'm doing that wrong let me know please.

now, IF that's the way to do it, i'd like to make a suggestion, can we upload the entry form to FC then when we crunch it shoots out the crunches back with the same file just altered.

so we "upload DKEntries" then crunch, when we download it download "DKEntries" with the players in there.

possible?

Posted Topic: New MMA rules

1 Topic by bellsofwar3
I'm just making sure FC is aware of the new MMA rules for DK? You guys rock with this and I want to make sure your projections will follow the changes. Thanks.
I, too, would like to know.
maybe it's just me but i can't accomplish what i want. if i'm stacking 4 teams i need to export 4 csvs. it would be easier if i can type in 25%, 25%, 25%, 25% next to each stack.

also the same for pitchers. say i want to use only 4 pitchers let's say today i want cole, sale, bumgarner and iglesias. i would like to be able to say sale 50%, bumgarner 30%, cole and igleasias 10% each. any possibility of this?
annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd story homers again..remarkable.
to piggy back off this when running the stack feature, can we get it to auto exclude the opposing pitcher. ex. if it's astros vs dodgers and i want to stack the astros can we get it to auto exclude all line ups with kershaw etc without having to click and reclick ourselves?
let me know an exact email address. i'm on this first thing in the morning. i have no problem taking the initiative here when i can.
yeah no shit. guy hits 2 hrs you think he'd be available. nope.
Tyler White
Jabari Blash
yeah he's the only player i missed in the stack. i have some solid line ups too.
Go to Show Advanced Options (right above calculate best teams button) ... Set minimum team salary to 59,000


I feel like an absolute ass. Thank you. I even looked there and misinterpreted it.

Anyway you can implement a feature that would shoot out line ups that are only over X value?

i.e. if I say minimum value is $59,000 for FD, it won't shoot out line ups less that that.

I'm able to play 250 line ups now and in finding variations in a hurry I sometimes forget to take off exposure settings when I lock players in. This will cause me to upload line ups as low as 52k and I'll have to find them and edit them.

I know this is user error but the feature would be so useful.
Can't win them all.
Look forward to next week.
I am using the DK cruncher and even though each team is set to max 5 im getting teams with 6 players from the same team


This is a leftover bug from last year that I will take care of. Incase you didn't play DK MLB last year, they allowed 6 batters from 1 team last year. As a quick workaround for now, you can go into the advanced options and change the max per team to a different value, then change it back to 5 and it will be applied. The issue is when the page first loads, it defaults to 6 (even though you are seeing 5) and the change will overwrite this.[/quote]


I'm an idiot. They changed it to 5. I didn't know.
Lol and I want to know how to get 6 players from each team.
Just wondering, is the MLB optimizer live? It's missing some games for DK.
awesome, you guys rock.
I read we'll be able to create line ups with stacks?

my understanding is we'll be able to click a team and stack?

if this is the case, and say we want 250 LU's, can we assign the outputs to the teams we want?

say i want 50 astro lu, 50, yankee lu, 50 blue jays lu, 50 ranger lu, 20 devil ray lu, 20, oriole lu and 10 athletics lu for 250. would that be possible?

let me know if that makes sense.
Normally when we input our projections, it changes the value. Would it be possible for us to edit the value and have it change the corresponding projections to what they would be?

isn't that option on the DK page now?
just make it with absolutely no projections or all projections at 0 and huge disclaimer saying "beta: use at your own risk."
okay, alexis ajinca isn't there this time.
nm, he's shut down for the season.
he's listed as questionable atm.
don't even need projections, just something to import multiple LUs to DK.
i'm trying my hand at bulk line ups on FD now and i was wondering if anyone had any tips for bulks edits toward tip off or must we do this one by one?
One way you can do this is to set his projection higher, where he would naturally be in over 20% of the lineups. Then set his exposure % to 20%.



why didn't i think of this? lol, thanks.
anyway to make an option that forces a player. (unless i'm missing it?)

i.e. say i want lebron in my line ups. well he's not an optimal player he won't see a lot of line ups. i could raise his projections but i would need to keep toying with it to hit the # i want.

my suggestion is this, if i make 100 line ups and i want to "force" him in 20, i would like an option that says "force: 20%" or something of sorts. that way no matter what his projections are, the 20 best line ups will pop out with him.
Just want to say this works a hell of a lot better on mobile. It hasn't crashed yet. Awesome. No not sarcasm, I got a brand new phone and it would constantly crash.
Another option would be to tie the color-coding to 5x value (using today's salary). The problem with the above suggestion (no offense to bellsofwar3) is if your 40 FP player costs $11k then GREEN really isn't so great (not even 4x). I'm guessing most of us use GREEN in our spreadsheets to indicate good stats (minutes, value, whatever). If the player logs color-coded based on ideal base value of 5x it would be quite easy to see how often a player reaches that value.

I'd suggest bright green for 5x, light green for 4x, yellow for <4x, and red for <3x.


I posted that suggestion in another thread related to this idea.[/quote]

haha, i remember. that was my other thread.

what i'm suggesting is slightly more advanced. i love your idea now that i understand btw.

my idea would be this, when we "crunch" line ups, next to the players name on that line up screen we'd see the flame/snow flake.

something like this i'd like a quick glance without having to click the names. but one or both would be great.
anyway to show say a flame/snowflake if a player has been hot or cold? i'd suggest someone as hot if they hit value 3-5 days in a row. if they've been very hot maybe two flames?
yes. please. the site crashes on my galaxy note 5. smh.
it's up. thanks guys.
Am I the only one this is affecting? I can't see the players. I'm good on yahoo and DK though.
no offense taken. given your explanation i 100% agree that my suggestion would be misunderstood. I'd just like some sort of indication as to how often a player has hit that projection regardless of cost. I know i can use the eye test and just look at the previous numbers and ignore the current colors, but i want to look and if i see a lot of green i would think "yeah chances are he'll get something around 40 fp again." this is to help with higher priced players. lower prices players usually fluctuate because of minutes.
awesome thanks. i'm just basically looking to see a quick "yeah this projection is likely" or "yeah this projection is just off" based on my daily uploaded projections.

also, another suggestion (don't want to make too many threads)

when i click a players name, i'd like to see, not only who they played, but the final score as well as if the game went to OT and win/loss. this would help identify outliers, games that were blow outs etc.
When I click a players name I'd like to see the actual value versus my uploaded projection. Currently it's compared to what FC projected? For instance, if my player is projected for 40 fp, I'd like to see a color coordination showing how often that player has hit, exceeded for missed that projection. i'd if it's bright green he exceeded it, red he was off etc. But those colors would be based off of the current projection.
Just for clarity, this isn't a 1 time thing? I'd assume it resets every month? i.e. if a member places ONE time ANYWHERE in a gpp they are awarded one month? then if they do it again the next month, same reward? also, no stacking for the month? i.e. if a member places 20 times in a month that's not 20 free months?


Im more on the generous side, it should stack. Everytime you win a tournament you will have a month credited to your account. So if you win 20 tournaments in a month, then you will have 20 free months.[/quote]

okay i misread. i thought it was "placing" but you're saying being #1.
but my question, if i need to run FC again after tip off and i "lock" amare i need him to ALWAYS show up in "F" if he's already been locked there. otherwise it'll move him to PF and it provide an unusable line up. does this make sense?
I THINK I saw somewhere that line ups are being built for sites with flex, i.e. dk and yahoo, where earlier games are getting positions for starting spots i.e. pg, sg, sf, pf and c will get earlier games leaving g, f and flex with players in later games for adjustments should anything happen, providing more flexibility. IF this is the case, what wound up happening yesterday is the line up shot out stoudemire at F and his game was early so he was locked in.

What I propose is a feature where I could "lock" Stoudemire in "F" and all line ups have that when I rerun FC after tip off. I had to configure FC to get my results and it took a few minutes. Just wondering if this is possible.
Just for clarity, this isn't a 1 time thing? I'd assume it resets every month? i.e. if a member places ONE time ANYWHERE in a gpp they are awarded one month? then if they do it again the next month, same reward? also, no stacking for the month? i.e. if a member places 20 times in a month that's not 20 free months?
projections are just projections. it's not a guarantee. it does take some work. you need to know what is a gpp play and what is a cash play. the projections, for the most part, are decent, but to use them blindly is foolish.
cool thanks.
i fourth this.


also:

if i run cruncher, and export a bunch of line ups, make some tweaks and run cruncher again, is there a way to show which of the new line ups have already been exported? i have to keep two tabs open to check and it's time consuming.
was looking and didn't see it. example: say i want to run 50 line ups but i only want 5 to have will barton, 10 to have omri casspi and 30 to have james harden. anyway to make it push out the best line ups that have all or some of them. meaning, i don't care what order they come in just as long as i have the # of line ups asked for.
i agree. unique player and exposure don't do what i need. it would be better if you could set a players limit and then the optimizer randomly adds them or not. so say exposure is at 40% and i make 50 line ups. rather than have the player shoot out in the first 50 line ups. it will also stop having say 3 people together in the first 20 line ups.
Jonathan Schoop and Eric Young Jr. are missing for today

came to post this too.
nt
same thing. for a paid service this is absolutely ridiculous so close to tip off. this is happening with draft kings atm.
nt
nt
allow us to change the players position ourselves. (drop down tab or typing it in) and allow us to "add a player" which would let us type a name in and a team and position and salary. or if that's too extensive any player we're not using we can change the name, team, salary etc.
nt
say I wanted to stack Dallas and Chicago tonight. force it to pull 4 from Dallas and 4 from Chicago then input the best player available last.
because there is only one game tonight guys. Cleveland and Chicago. the rest are on break for the all star game.
well it seems to be working now. just no players yet.
or do I need to renew my info? I can't seem to access fc for line ups. it's asking me to upgrade which I thought I had already done.
I use a galaxy s3 and I can't scroll right to see the value tabs.
i agree too. there was't a cousins out update last night if i'm not mistaken which sucks for anyone who wasn't aware. i keep saying, it'd be nice if this place could be, not only our projections/cruncher site, but also injury update center as well. when you're getting a line up as fast as you can, jumping between this and rotoworld etc can be take away precious minutes.
As I was kind of expecting once I saw the late update, I missed cashing in all my 3pm lineups. Missed by less than 5pts in each contest, and the lineup that came out at 3:04 would have given me 9 extra points...

Overall the late update cost me 50 bucks. (Almost the full amount I've made since becoming premium)

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE update the lineups within 30 min of contest starts...


i agree with this 100%. my previous suggestion was if they could post players who are listed as out with their projections. it would help to understand the reasoning of their adjustments. i agree though with what you said, there should be some sort of update posted 30 mins before lock. for a paid service you'd expect a little more.
yep, and we have 330 pm game so our window of opportunity is closing fast.
oh okay, if that's the case my apologies. that being said, it would still be nice to have it updated as it goes though. yesterday teague was announced before lock.
yeah this really needs to be an option. if you could just post a blurb of who is out. I missed nowitzki getting benched and am kind-of peeved.
example. i had teague in my line up. i always check before tip off to see any final projections. i see a lot of hawks players projections went up so i know something went down with the hawks. it would be nice if it mentioned "teague is out" somewhere next to the update time stamp or something similar. nothing big but it could save a minute or two.
