Any of you guys tried this site? Was thinking of depositing $25 for the Sunday Million tournament tommorow. I know you have a fixed cap...can you see your opponents teams after the start of the games? Any complaints? Sounds like fun but would rather get some TRUSTED feedback.
Aren't you competing against everyone who enters? I thought it was as simple as- you set a top 20% lineup and you win money [or whatever the percentage of payouts divided by entrants is].
Right but to prevent fraudulent theories I would assume you could see everyone else's lineups...if not it wouldn't be hard to cheat. On the other hand, do they really make 9k lineups available?? I bought in to the big tournament so I will see soon enough, I really hope nothing is concealed.
I have been on Fanduel for a little over a month. It's fun and safe (I do paypal, not credit card). I've won quite a bit of money too. You can make a nice profit on the League Games. I prefer the leagues rather than the tournaments because less people are permitted to enter. Just finish in the top 20%. You can double your money. The only tournaments I play are the $25 ones. 50,000 entries, but if you finish in the top 10,000, you've doubled your money. That's easy money if you know your football. $200,000 is a nice pot for the top spot. And to answer your question, Yes you will get to see everyone's rosters once the games start.
Any tips on selecting the lineups with the cap? Do most people get a top 3 QB then fill in the pieces?? Here is my lineup as of now.. Andrew Luck IND @ JAC RB LeSean McCoy PHI v WAS RB Khiry Robinson NO v MIN WR Mike Wallace MIA v KC WR Randall Cobb GB @ DET WR Sammy Watkins BUF v SD TE Travis Kelce KC @ MIA K Cody Parkey PHI v WAS D New England Patriots NE v OAK
Or this lineup I used in my FREEROLL?? Drew Brees NO v MIN RB LeSean McCoy PHI v WAS RB Lamar Miller MIA v KC WR Mike Wallace MIA v KC WR Randall Cobb GB @ DET WR Markus Wheaton PIT @ CAR TE Larry Donnell NYG v HOU K Cody Parkey PHI v WAS D New England Patriots NE v OAK
Most people play the top 3 QBs. I don't. I entered the $25 tournament twice this week. Some guys enter it 20-30 times, which is crazy but within the rules. I've got: Cousins Sproles Terrance West Calvin Johnson Golden Tate Jordy Nelson Jimmy Graham Cody Parkey Pats Defense
wouldn't be hard for who to cheat? --Fanduel?... or the players? I don't see how the players can cheat. Sure, they can make as many lineups available as possible provided the percentage of payouts remain roughly the same. You could finish top 4 in a 20 team league or top 1800 in a 9000 team league. Personally, I like my chances of finishing top 1800 better than finishing top 4.
I've won enough money to know that they aren't cheating. I started with a $30 deposit and I have yet to make any more deposits, lol. I've just been playing off my winnings. Payouts happen before noon the next day. Fanduel also pays the paypal fees, so you don't have to worry about paypal taking their scheduled 5-10% cut.
After I see how this works I'm sure I will. Look at the rake they take!! Brilliant idea, the founders are going to be billionaires. Why didn't I think of that
Yes, it was a great idea. Draft Kings was around before them, but they didn't do paypal, which is why I never joined that site. This is the most fun I've ever had doing fantasy drafts. Probably because I've been winning, lol.
Since the cap is pretty restrictive, I'd look for best low dollar value or value-based matchup advantages first to build my lineup around and then use the remaining cash to fill out my roster. From there I'd add one or two premium players with difference-making upside and little downside [like a Brandon Marshall or Jimmy Graham]; I'd add one lower-dollar but higher-upside player; and the remainder would be guys I think offer the best bet for guaranteed points even if it means minimal upside. And I wouldn't try to slum it or get to cute at QB. I haven't shuffled through lineup options yet, but I think yours is a money winner. Khiry Robinson is probably where I'd start in my team-building process this week. Cobb should offer consistency but with great upside. Ditto for Wallace & McCoy. New England D could kill it this week provided they don't have to do what Houston did last week- give up points and yards to second teamers in garbage time when the game is already over. Kelce is still iffy IMO. I'd be weighing my options of Kelce & McCoy vs another TE & another RB.
This has the potential to be big time. Depending on the money involved, I'd rather have Khiry Robinson than West.
I thought about Robinson a lot. I just have a feeling West is going to go off tomorrow. I don't think the Ravens will be focused with all the drama going on. I think the Browns are going to win and West will be a big reason why. Just a theory.
First time doing this as well...went in at $25.... Brees Khiry Murray Cobb Tate Calvin Kyle Rudolph Gould Pats
I've got a lineup very similar to this in one of my league matchups. Demarco Murray has made me some good money.
Just a question for those with Tate and Calvin....wouldn't it make sense to find a way to add Stafford? Atleast if you are in a tournament you need to go HAM in to cash?? In both my lineups I have no QB/WR combo..is this a mistake?
Good questions. It's all about strategy. I did that in week 1 with Detroit and won a lot of money. Tried it in week 2 and didn't win as much. Week 2, Darren Sproles saved me from losing most of my money. I think he put up almost 40 points last week, which I did not expect (he's been the best RB in the fantasy football this season, and you can get him for $6000 which is really cheap). This week, I am trying a few different strategies. I am still trying to get a feel for it, honestly.
I've been doing so terrible at fanduel this year. First time trying and all 3 weeks I've failed miserably. What do you guys think about Cousins Bradshaw Miller Julio jones Keenan Allen Watkins Olson Gostowski Bills Buying Allen low....haven't submitted so open to suggestions
Friggin Watkins was a no show last week, I like the lineup a lot actually. Gotta do something to take our mind off the garbage *** Mariners.
Haha im gonna try it then. Hoping watkins can show up but maybe we should only play him when he's playing the dolphins???
Eli Manning and Larry Donnell are going to make me some serious money. I don't even know what made me pick them. Just a gut feeling I guess...
My goodness...what happened to Cousins? I had him last week and he put up almost 30 points. I think he is down to 4 points this week, lol.
Anyone wanna do a HU for $50?? Edit: never mind, I already entered 4 contests with this hit or miss lineup. QB C.Kap (Boiks fav) RB L.Miller RB K. Robinson WR. R.Cobb WR B. Cooks WR. D. Bryant TE. S. Chandler DEF Miami K. D. Carpenter Considering swapping out Cooks for Edleman...thoughts
