Fanduel / Draft Kings Discussion

[trendon]

Can we change the title of this thread to Shel's DFS blog?
I feel bad for the guy since we all bailed on him and he's basically talking to himself.

On the contrary, Trendon has become my new DFS BFF!

I post up my rosters, as it's easiest that way, though he sometimes texts back responses to my lineups instead of posting here. Lots of behind the scenes stuff!!!

I am not alone!!!!

Things a lonely person would say.

Yeah, the thing is that when the time nears the games, I am at work so texts are so much easier. I suppose a WhatsApp group might be in order soon.

What benefit would this What'sApp provide that text/group text wouldn't?

Heard of the app, but don't know anything about it.

Today is a mess. Butler, Anthony, and Miles might not play. BBM is recommending Miles even as they are saying he is questionable. I may have to create multiple lineups and then quickly choose one or two at the last second. This is where DK is huge. I can just join a game now with any bullshit lineup and then submit a different one at the last second.

I hate group texts because you can't make them stop. You can mute WhatsApp conversations.

[shel311]

Agreed, I love the late swap feature. I do the same though, if one guy i like is questionable and playing the early game, i create a 2nd lineup without him to easily make the switch last second if need be.

True

But given that you and I are the only ones posting here, not sure how much it is needed at the moment.

Oh yeah, no sense now.

Sticking with those lineups, 20% bankroll.

I didnt have time to look but what the fuck happened in the late game(s) that caused me to plummet right out of the money on both sites. I had Ellington score almost 40. Who went off?

Gasol and Butler, I think they had 48 and 43.

I was in the same boat for the tourney I was in. I figured if Ellington got 25 ish, I should cash in the tourney, but I didn't account for a few guys who had both Gasol and Butler easily passing me.

I have what I think is a great lineup tonight, but it has AD in it, and he'll be a gametime decision. My secondary lineup, I don't like nearly as much.

[shel311]

Assuming no AD, I'm trying to decide between Rose/Millsap or Aldridge/J Jack.

[trendon]

Quickly cobbled together a DK lineup; allowed BM to pick my final three players.

Pos Player FPPG
PG Elfrid Payton 23.3 swap out
SG Kent Bazemore 8.7 swap out
SF Josh Smith 30.1 swap out
PF Zach Randolph 36.8 swap out
C DeMarcus Cousins Q 49.3 swap out
G Ben McLemore 19.6 swap out
F David West 28.7 swap out
UTIL Tyson Chandler 31.0 swap out

[shel311]

My FantasyUp lineup as of now :

Augustin
Roberts
Bazemore
Klay Thompson
Lebron
Thaddeus Young
Monroe
Motiejunas
Zach Randolph
AL Jefferson

[trendon]

If I have time, I might just steal that.

[trendon]

Brian Roberts? Why?

[trendon]

Put this together for FU

24.61 29.66 Elfrid Payton Submit PG ORL DAL $8,300

33.29 27.52 Zach Randolph Submit PF MEM OKC $12,100

26.74 24.76 Tyson Chandler Submit C DAL @ ORL $10,800
42.17 24.81 DeMarcus Cousins Submit C SAC @ IND $17,000

[shel311]

Brian Roberts? Why?

I definitely don't love the pick, but minimum salary for a guy playing 35 minutes against Denver's defense, I'll take it. If he gives me 20,that's enough and allows me more cash for other better guys.

Though if Durant and Conley is out, I may do a major overhaul, including ditching Roberts to work Westbrook in.

I liked Payton, Smith, West, and Cousins as well.

[DRiccio21]

Faried and Arthur both out. JJ Hickson is the only healthy PF so he should get a bump. i'd imagine Galinarri/Nurkic also get a bump

Fournier also starting with Oladipo out, he's not a huge usage guy so its a tough call there, but i'd assume Payton gets a bump

Yup, they all did. I went Hickson, then decided to go Zeller instead. Could be my final lineup here:

Augustin
Curry
Bazemore
Harden
Thad Young
Aminu
Monroe
Randolph
Jefferson
Zeller


Should be an interesting night with tons of variety in lineups.
