That's exactly what we all want from DK's head writer! Long may it continue.

Quick question. Would people rather roster Juanfran or Alaba on DK this week. Interesting that they are at the same salary. And assuming Alaba starts at LB not CB

Too true, it is entertaining watching the show, and hopefully people not in the know take some of their advice. I actually don't think welbz is the worst play if he starts.

Don't think Juanfran is a good pick personally, so alaba out of the two.
Gl all tonight, I'm entering a fair whack

Only 2 matches on Mondogoal slate and literally impossible to use Messi or Suarez and still field a full team of starters

Dyabla sucking so far, how does he not even have any crosses when they're playing lampost up top.

Oh he got 3 near end of half, turning it around.

Only got Costa & Dyabla playing today in cash.
Thiago was tempting tho.

Just entered two teams there. I am used to it as I play La Liga most weekends and these players are tops but not that at ridiculous salary pricing.

I can see some have entered 30 plus teams on Mondo tonight. Good luck to them, seems a proper waste of bankroll. Giving some slates a miss is much better.

Playing DK's contest and enjoying the two day strategy with swap option. Playing Champions League game on Fanaments and super fun. Fanaments is under-rated and think they have it spot-on with fun game play.

Also salary free champions league on bet4best is great, playing regular there now too. Try other sites, they all offering different leagues and competitions now.

Mondo slate tonight was simply not fun. I enjoy complex puzzles, but this was next level. Can not see it being fun for many casual players and a turnoff.

Why is it Mondo's interest to make it as difficult as possible? In my opinion, they should be making it harder for the sharps, not harder for the rest.

I doubt they're making it not fun on purpose lol, it'll simply be their pricing algorithm is **** for small slates and with the big teams playing in the champs league.

Yeah it's likely not on purpose, but does raise questions about a quality check on the algorithm. It seems they do not review what is suggested by the algorithm.

They better work on late swap or offer all four fixtures in one go. All other sites have the four UCL games to play. Two fixtures is a joke and scrapping the barrel time.

Agree, guessing its all automatic, which is how it should be in an ideal world, but considering how bad it is atm they could surely manually nerf each value by 20% or something.

One team only entered in the big 40k contest. Three played so far, 35 points in the bag and 720 player minutes remaining for Wednesday. Enjoying playing two days slates, it requires strategic play. Will be nice if they could have this for Premier League games. Guess they will not though, as they rather have churn and get rake over the two days.

Indeed. It would be a very easy thing to normalize all salaries with regards to average salary for the slate or cost of the 11 most expensive players or some other trivial parameter and avoid slates where salaries are irrelevant (like many Ligue 1 contests) or where it is nearly impossible to stay underneath salary cap like tonight.

I thought tonight's contest was fun though Wish I had had more time though.

I had time to look at all the possible combinations. This is exact definition of trying to fit a square into a circle. More chore than pleasant.

The La Liga games are fun as everyone picks Messi, Suarez, Neymar, Ronaldo... With proper homework you can crush the field. There is a lot of good players in La Liga for a quarter of the salary price of the big stars.

On DraftKings Wed games should be real fun. There is differential galore and good luck to those who have players waiting in reserve to climb up the leaderboard.

Important thing is how Mich money played so far and what positions?
My gpp team has 45 from 2, robben and neymar.
Cash is 29 from 2, Costa and dybla.
Sigh at not including dybala in gpp team would have been loving life.
Really hope kolarov is playing tomorrow.

Slowly getting used to the game play at DK and it is fun looking for the slept-on differentials as the salary pricing is sharper than the MSN.

I picked Alcantara, also Dybala and Mandzukic. I have still 35,000 of the salary left for the rest of positions for Wednesday's slate. Mandzukic just at 5.4% ownership. Dybala much higher at 36.9% ownership. Alcantara even much higher ownership at 65.65.

Last week Wolfsburg produced the low owned players with high upside. So wonder which Wed's team will provide this week's turn.

To their credit as well they have offered so far a lot of free-roll games to the UK players.

The tough decision today was Costa vs robben. Ran absurdly bad with ox (not convinced he was a good pick anyway) and Messi hit his absolute ceiling by way of getting fairly lucky.

Agree re Costa v robben, think Costa far better floor/mins guarantee, less upside.
Thought thiago was a bit fools gold pure match, most points from assists and didn't think they would score loads.

Ox is far too inconsistent for me for anything but a big gpp punt.

If you live in Italy, mondo is there (but segregated player pool I understand). If you go to the UK you'll have access to DK, global mondo, and tons more. See earlier in the thread.

I watched the Draft Kings video posted. I felt like it offered a lot of misinformation.

Further to this, I felt like it tried to champion the "Select my team like a true punter" angle, which did not come across well.

Do those dudes play on DK and did they stick to the selections that they went for?
If so, what are there names?

Hope everyone is well,

Donkey

Yeah they do stick to them mainly. All are on twitter and post their teams n standings from time to time, mainly find them by looking at draftkings mentions.
