DFS Talk

[iceman]

Hey guys DFS is the most popular upcoming thing out in sports now I think anyway. If you screw up you don't lose the season and can start again the next day or week. I play on Draft Kings and will give a few of the top plays out there you should be targeting. Its up to you who you play per the salary cap allowed. If I have time I will give you one of my 50/50 lineups per day just to see how it goes.

Remember: The goal is to win in your matchup and have fun doing so.

Feel free to ask any questions and add onto the discussion.

You have a cap of 50,000 to build a lineup using these players or other players. Always check the lineups to verify your player is in the lineup before game time.

I put this lineup in a 50/50 350 team league. Will need to finish 175th or better to cash. Let's see how it goes.

How you been doing in these Ice?

I do pretty good in the 50/50's but winning a GPP is tough. More people and a much bigger prize pool.

I actually think this thread will take off, with Football season coming up.

I attempted some MLB. I think I cashed 4 times for peanuts. I do a really good job at finding value in pitchers, and a piss poor job finding value at.....pretty much everything else.

i started w fanduel.. Then went over to dk... Haven't decided which one I like better overall
... But I do like the fanduel interface better..

eagles scare me.. I think if they get out to a big lead you could see a lot of backups getting snaps... But if jax keeps it close the eagles are a great team to "stack" tomorrow...

As daily fantasy leagues explode in popularity we’re noticing a lot of new players asking about the differences between daily fantasy and the season-long variety. There are undoubtedly some key differences, but the basic tenants of fantasy sports management – opportunity cost, consistency, game theory, and risk/reward still act as the governing principles in creating a successful team.
