Im trying to think of what additional content would be good for my site. If you have any suggestions let me know. Im most likely scrapping showing my excel tables since I basically put the best info in my gameweek previews. In turn I may make the previews private to affiliates/donaters but keep the general/basic strategy sections public as well as the post week reviews. Thoughts?

I personally think your site is perfect the way it is. Again me personally, I just take you at your word and don't really need to see all the Excel evidence behind each of your selections. I trust your model and think you do a great job with the explanation of each sleeper pick.

I think it's awesome you're looking to add more and keep improving it, but I also think it's pretty awesome right now. Keep up the good work

Kinda seems like soccer DFS scoring is a little dumb if you can just pick guys who cross a lot and profit

It is part of the strategy. You are going to need more than crosses and corners to place in the money. You need to pick value midfielders with potential for being big performers, so that you can spend money on the top strikers. Goals and assists are going to win you cash games.

Ya it is a little annoying, statclash is a little better due to crosses being .25 instead of 1 pt. Also if you commit fouls it is -1 pt and yellow -2. Makes it a little more nuanced. Mondogoal goes a bit further and includes pass completiion. tackles made, time played, interceptions made, also mf gets credit for cs/1ga.

DK is basically arcade scoring to make it easier for newbs since people don't like negative points and it's easier to process less things. To really appeal to new users they should limit entries, can see it being intimidating to play vs a guy in a gpp who has 30 entries when you have 1 or 2.

I think it is ridiculous getting -1 pt for red cards and not getting punished for penalty misses. It should be at least -1 pt for yellow cards and -3 pts for red cards and penalty missed.

So forgive the noob question, but I don't understand how the bonus deposit works. I'm not a poker player so this is all new to me. Could I theoretically blow my entire deposit in a week and they never have to match anything?

Yes. Your bonus gets released based off the money they collect in rake for your entries. Spend more money it gets released faster.

If you blow your bankroll, your bonus will still remain under your account. I am sure they will add on to the bonus the amount you reload. The only way you are going to claim all the bonus is by actively playing on the site.

I wasn't sure about it.
Duck, what would be doing during the international break?
I hope the casual players don't lose interest during this break and that they understand what the break is all about.

Yea we need the casual players to stick around

I'm ready to raise the stakes. I'm away for a conference in 2 weeks when the EPL returns so won't have time to do the required research

So I'm probably looking at 3 weeks from now for a big tournament

Here are some of the articles im planning over the interlull:
Making Lineups early vs Late
Chasing Points with late swaps (probably will do a separate post on multi day slates completely).
Identifying regression to the mean
Dealing with salary left over while prices are soft.

If you have any suggestions or any topics you'd like me to try and tackle let me know.
