DraftKings has an awesome new game option called “Tiers”, It lets you select all your players without any salary cap per position all.  Instead, you pick one batter from 6 different boxes to choose from – in which 4 – 9 players appear per tier.  This is a great new contest selection for those who hate having to value shop 2 pitchers and all positions from 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, C and 3 OF positions.

Here is the strategy we are using for gameplay tonight.  The reason why we wheel all of our players with the other players in our lists is to maximize our chance to win a GPP

For every tier, we are ranking the top two players from each.  We will then wheel all of those players with each other for 16 – 64 total scenarios.  The key is to wheel all scenarios and then if a contest doesn’t fill the quota – you find a few other contests to do so.  

Today we are entering 37 rosters with a $5 entry fee (37 Max Rosters GPP, we will own 1.95% of the rosters.) into the Knuckleball tournament in which there are 1902 players – with a prize payout of $8K.

Mike Trout of Tier #1 will be implored on every single roster for the 1st 32.  Since we have 5 more rosters to play with we will put Alex Bregman into our best 5 lineups (free of Trout but with the others).

Monday May 20, 2019 – 7:05 PM EST Slate Start (6 Games to choose from)

The Home Player is the #1 Ranked Player per Tier and the #2 Ranked player for you will be the visitor.  This is for the purpose of easily using the grid for wheeling with the other players. 

The wheeling codes will make it easier to fill out your scenario.  There is no typically no bigger value placed on the number 1 or number 2 rankings on each.  It makes it easier to run the scenarios.  Although when you have to add roster and add a bit of $ value to complete a roster, your all #1 ranked rosters of all Home Players HHHH, HHHHH, HHHHHH will be the roster you are confident in..

In cases where we use one player on all rosters, we will leave the tier out of our tier scenarios.  Obviously, by ranking each tier in order, you may also switch applicable players if there are NS for any lineup with the next man up.

Remember you can always use your own selections, however, we do recommend that you wheel the players with the other guys and maximize your chances by using our 32 roster wheel outcomes.  Just swap out our players and write in your own.  BOLD Maroon represents the players we are using.
