Daily Fantasy Talk -NFL/NRL

Id love some kind updates today. Less then 3 points from top 10 in the 10k on MB which is a $100 difference and again on the cash bubble in 2 tournies on DS

Got away with a $50 cash in the NRL from my lone entry. Saw one guy was entered between 40-50 teams but didnt even hit top 10.

parlayed into the NBA today. So filthy with myself, had my teams set up and then tinkered with 15 mins to go. Team I had set first originally would have taken out the $1750 event for $650 but I fucked up and the team i changed to bubbled.

Left my original team in the single entry $5 and shipped that for $120 which makes up for some of the pain. (pre updates, but not likely any late changes in NBA)

Draft Stars $10k lasted 2 weeks. 1 week at $5k and now its a $2k tournament.

Money dried up fast over there

i wonder if the lack of games has something to do with it?

They shouldnt have spent all that cash on AFL with those 50ks so early. Now they are running a big multi week entry to a 50k tournie with qualifiers but doesnt have the same impact when they had 1 week tournies for the same prize

Who's playing tonight?

Anyone up for a bragging rights tournie tonight? $2 or $5 WTA?

Draftstars have added NFL

Looking forward to this but think the scoring is slightly different and has 2 x flex positions

Have never played Fantasy NFL before. I'm entered in a Free Monday for fun game on Draftstars just to see what the scoring is like.
I've also got a team in a NFL fantasy comp on VSDT.
Should be fun, having NO idea about the players and their scoring.

If youre into stats then you can get really involved and have a bit of fun.

From what i can see with the scoring and pricing ill be looking to fill my flex with WR who are going to get a lot of targets/catches as they get points for receiving yards (10m=1p) as well as 1p per reception, while the RBs only get 1p per 10m run and 0p for rushing attempts (they do still get 1p per reception though)

A pretty popular strategy is the QB/WR stack, picking players from the same team to double up on the points. Generally not a good idea to stack WR/RB though.

If you have any questions on players pm me, ill try help

Top8 and SFP appear to be merging. They are still separate sites (with separate balances) at the moment but using the same interface which I guess will converge at some point.

For anyone with a top8 account, all their comps are free this week.
I entered an NRL comp with no idea on who anyone is and just picked a bunch of players semi-randomly

That is an awesome article, glad i read it. Very interesting.
The 90% new fantasy customer becoming an active punter is unbelievable

I just got an email from Moneyball offering rake free private comps until 28/2. There isn't anything up for the 9's yet but I'd imagine they'll have something and a fanatics type league could be a bit of fun.
