Nice grats mate. Sadly I didn't enter the 12 and 5 dollar. Wanted to scale down a little after the brutal losses midweek (-400 tues -180 wed). Tues was just really fluky and I'm fine with my plays. Wed was bad and I overextended my rosters too much. My biggest winning days have been 4 rosters as opposed to 6-7 and very condensed with lots of overlapping players.
Champions league just has so much variance with 7-8 games that it makes it tough to condense the lineups I want to play, where as a 5-6 game slate is easier. I've found the most success I've had comes when I can identify the 2-4 best games and target those teams/players in multiple combos. I also have to make sure I'm confident in fading the other popular plays (liverpool today for example) or I end up over tinkering and spreading myself too wide.
This strat will unfortunately run into brick walls sometimes when **** happens like Bayern putting up 7 on Roma at home or BATE ****ting the bed at home with one guy getting 5 goals. That stuff is simply fluky and I can't let it effect me or I'll end up in a situation like Weds when I completely nail all the picks but don't have condensed enough rosters so my strongest picks are all together (I was most bullish on Atl and Dortmund but had almost no overlap with them, partly because I though gala would be less **** at home).
Today worked out perfectly save for Swansea defenders really not contributing much offensively. No mid fielders really had big days, although brunt was massive for his price. Thankfully there are a handful of midfielders I rank highly that no one is bandwagoning yet so I'll be lying in wait to get them on a good weekend and hoping they go off.
Hint: Cazorla is one of them as long as ozil is out. Could of easily had 2 today if he connects better.
Anyways sorry I didn't have much content up this week, was just super busy.
