Fanduel / Draft Kings Discussion

finished 116/2300

Nice!

Was it 50/50 or a tourney?

tourney. paid out shit too only like +200.

all good tho, i only really wanna NFL right now but it gives me something to do. Gonna use this free ticket to try and qualify for the 7.2 million dollar sunday thing.

Yea, i play the big NFL tournies with like 200,000+ people, and the majority of payouts are just the ones that double your buy in.

You gotta get pretty high up in the standings to get a solid payout. I've had 1 so far in the 3 NFL weeks, the other 2 were basically break even/lose a little.

@Jsence whatcha think?

I'm not Jason... but I don't like Morata and Pogba today. Juve isn't in a high scoring form and Sevilla isn't likely to be helpful. I'd consider players in both Manchester games, from both sides.

[jsence2]

My plays today

Team 1:

Zoet, Aurier, Filipe Luis, KDB, Tosic, Griezmann, Ronaldo, Doumbia

Team 2:

Akinfeev, Aurier, Nacho Fernandez, KDB, Mateo Kovacic, Benzema, Cavani, Griezmann

Team 3:

Buffon, Smalling, Thiago Silva, KDB, Pogba, Cavani, Griezmann, Doumbia

1) Pogba, no matter how Juve is doing, is always a good play in DK. Too many peripherals (shots on goal, crosses, etc). Buffon is a good play today with his ability to get saves

2) I'm staying away from City, they're in poor form and BM is on a roll right now, but KDB was highly underpriced

3) Staying away from Ronaldo--too much cost, when you consider that he's on the road, and Bale and James are out. He could go off as usual, but I don't have a good feeling about him today.

[jsence2]

Wow. Getting a bit excited right now

Team 1 has three goals and two assists inside 30 min

[nick]

i copied team 1 for my matchup cause i wanted Ronaldo in it lol. Up so far. Goalie is getting rocked however (dunno how goalies effect overall numbers)

[ReignOnU]

Morata proves me wrong. Kid is fun to watch. I wonder how long until RM tries to buy him back for 2x-3x what they sold him to Juve for.

[nick]

im in a 5 teamer cause i missed out on any big prize soccer ones. Im gonna finish 2nd cause PSV gonna get a clean sheet. ugh

[ReignOnU]

PSV gave up 3 in the 1st 30min or so... you mean PSG?

[jsence2]

He's -2 right now... But Doumbia scored two of them, so I'll take that hit

[jsence2]

Lineup 1: Ronaldo goal, Doumbia two goals, Aurier goal, a few assists. Poor GK performance, but wouldn't have been able to do much more with a cheaper GK.

Lineups 2/3: Benzema did nothing (should've stayed away from him), Cavani was a total freaking bust today (which is a shock given his form), and Griezmann only got an assist.

I came out ahead (not by much) and should've played Lineup 1 more. I didn't stick with my guy and tinkered too much with 2/3

I did the free one. Had no clue who anyone was, picked them basically at random. I won $3.

cant wait til basketball

[shel311]

Same here, hoping for another big season like last year.

I sucked big time on FD today, but should be ok to double up on FantasyUp.

[nick]

im tired of the randomness of NFL and MLB. I did alright with CFB but got lucky

[DRiccio21]

now there is an article that the guy who is the algorithm expert to create player values is a top 50 ranked player and plays on draftkings.

shit is going down.

It was fun while it lasted.
