NHL 2014-15 DFS Thread - Page 5 - Fantasy Sports -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

On another note, salaries are just a joke this time of year. I hope this gets corrected cause it doesn't make DFS a whole lot of fun. If you are willing to take one min priced forward and a cheap but solid goalie - the rest of your team is just incredibly sick. Not that it is always going to work out, but it doesn't make it very challenging to make a team. I imagine that salaries will normalize but right now they are terrible. I mean I thought Kuemper was a ridiculously cheap option and there is a G even cheaper who is just as solid a play today. And there are a number of min priced guys on the second line / first PP. Should correct over time I assume.

This is all lol DK pricing right? If there's a way to do this on FD, I'm not seeing it lol.

They had some serious pricing issues at the beginning of last year, but they got better. Seem like best in the industry for NHL now if the posts ITT are any indication. My complaint with FD is that startable rookies aren't even available in the player pool.

If the 3 posts I just multiquoted are all DK pricing, I'll be staying as far away from their NHL product as possible.

So what was your ROI on the 500k gross? Spill it, already.

DK prices will shore up in time. In the past DK used to be known for rather tight pricing, though they have come away from that this year. Mostly referring to NFL in that regard, but other sports at times as well.

The playerpool actually having all, or at least most of, the players is one of the reasons pricing is soft. Most of rookies or 2nd year guys who are finding a place in a team are all available and min price. They'll come up.

The pricing on DK is not low enough for you to basically grab anyone you want.

How do FPPs work on DK? Everything's made up and the points don't matter?

Pricing in all rookies (regardless of talent or opportunity) at stone minimum salary is just lazy. Maybe I'm happier FD doesn't even have them yet actually...

Not sure I get what you mean?

FPPs are just a very small form of rakeback, so they roll in based on how much money you're putting in play.

I suppose I should have phrased that better. What can you redeem them for?

Mostly just GPP tickets. Top right of DK there's a menu icon that gets you to FPP store.

For some reason, DK only lets you spend 'em on specific GPP's. I dunno why.

it's redeemable for whatever of that bracket I think, despite them saying like "millionaire maker ticket", it still lets you use it on any $27 tourney
