3. Best strategy is do not get tempted by bigger prize pools and large buy-ins. Are you in for the long-haul ? Avoid copying teams "trains", do home work and differentiate line-ups.



4. Stiick to playing a few seasonal (UFPL my fav) and not ditch it all for all DFS. Variance and swings can leave you feeling high or down in the dumps. Take your time and you will be there. Trust me!

Thanks for the answers. I don't read any strategy or recommended DFS line up stuff as I put in my own work and it is a Sport I know inside out. Read all the major European leagues all day every day pretty much. Looking forward to Europa tomorrow then.

Keeping it very small stakes atm to grind up and learn my best strategies etc. Obviously variance can be huge as well but by the end of the season I'm aiming for a very decent amount of ££

Sucks to literally only have mondo as a UK player

Also, on mondo has Bony kept his goal? Will really help if he doesn't lol!

The winner's leaderboard needs to have it's first UK DFS millionaire. Donkey with his skill and nice rub of the green going to get there fast. Will be funny to see a Draft Kings style big check from the winner on TV.

Rakitic yesterday from sub and Benalgio penalty save last minute after taking a booking for a foul. Such fine margins in DFS.

Do check the site below, they have one for La Liga, Bundeslgia and Premier league too. Great sites to practice one's player and team picking skills for DFS without any cost. One to bookmark.

Thanks =) Ran super hot tonight, that penalty save at the end was a real swinger!

Thanks for sharing the links Garrincha, keep it up; they are thoughtful and insightful.

I would have been up there if not for the late KDB goal, since I only had him in cash LU's. So very modest winnings for me today-- but it's better than losing.

Maybe I should setup shop on MG as well. Interface looks heaps better than when I initially considered playing there. (No EL action on DK)

had a solid lineup but cuadrado and teixiera killed what would have been a really good lineup. almost went pogba and gaitan too instead which would have had me win everything. ((((((

meh mincash. Dislocated my shoulder patting myself on the back pivoting off Griezmann to Jackson, 20% vs 69% ownership but just whiffed in other spots.

Ended up with Bony in Flex which I kinda hated but just couldn't construct a lineup I liked better w/o leaving like 1k behind.

lets say you were only allowed 1 GPP entry and you were told ahead of time Ronaldo would be at 20% ownership .... would you play him or fade?

jackson was great for gpps, but griezmann was still a better cash play. better floor + pks. was always a risk that he'd get subbed, but same risk for basically everyone on atletico (which is why i only went 1x atletico attacker on dk).

can someone tweet at DK to take MLS Sunday and split it into 2 slates, 5 pm and 7 pm games? Totally unimpressed with what they've posted given that it's like the only day of the year MLS is must watch.

Last reg season games and consistent start times, they should be going big. Heck not that I'm going to complain about my LA Galaxy and MLS Cup prizes, but they should've made it rain with those prize packs this weekend rather than putting them up in dribs and drabs.

Check out this freerolls calendar that gets updated a couple of times each week. A few of the sites are licenced in the UK and freerolls are perfect for trying out new scoring systems that you are not familiar with.

It real depends on the match up and form he is in. If it was yesterday's game with PSG, even with a hypothetical 20% low ownership I will fade. No easy away games at champions league level let alone at PSG.

Tricky getting all the team line-ups in correct, slip-ups do happen. Twelve fixtures at at time is a bit much.

Mondo are saying they have mobile app as a priority and that will be great. As it is useless trying to edit using mobile devices.

Is it my eyes or I am seeing someone put £3K combined on the table for Mondogoal head to head for GW 10 ?He must be super confident or Ethan Haskell in disguise.

Will be interesting to see how he fared over the weekend.

I will come after that one day. Good things come to those who wait.

I am liking seeing sneak previews of the winning scores in the cash games with higher buy-in's.

More homework before I get confident of nailing these games with optimal line-up's.

To the issue of players being allowed to copy team as massive 'trains'. To me this is sure method of pushing away new customers and also making the skill element of picking line-ups redundant.

I have checked the contest history on Mondo and there is more than enough massive copied 'trains' LU's which have not cashed and pure loss. Also in recent few weeks where it seems the trend is going for massive 'trains' which has fortunately cashed in.

Personally I am more for doing a thorough home work and picking few differentiated LU's. Where is the skill and fun in copying one team ten and twenty times ? I can not see it! I hardly do copied 'trains' as in the long-term it is a losing strategy with the ever present foe - variance.

So multi-entries can be kept and obviously most of the sites need that to fill contests. But making massive 'trains' should be restricted and even totally not allowed.

Sites finding it hard as it is to fill contests and with massive 'trains' trend, most new customers will stop playing and stick to making a few punts at the bookies. No worries about massive 'trains' for sure with outright sports betting.

Another week or two of massive 'trains' might just make me press the snooze button big time if it already has not.

Your thoughts will be much appreciated. DFS sites seem to find it hard to take the long-term view. Maybe one day they can take good customer feedback without costing them much.
