Slight losing week on mg again though. Unsure if running bad or playing bad. Likely bit of both and it not being my primary focus.

Their scoring leads to a ton of variance.

I think playing 11 players causes the 10x variance

That adds to it I imagine.

This is a fantastic article on mg scoring and the implications on player selection.

Great news re DK.

Interesting article you posted above Duck - well worth a read for anyone new to DFS. Sounds like midfielders are the way to go (3-5-2) for formats which require a lower variance approach, whereas for the big top-heavy tournaments 3-4-3 is the way to go and just hope your strikers score.

Also, I can't login to MG at present as not in a country I'm allowed to log in from. Anyone able to tell me if I have any teams on first couple of pages of the £10k leaderboard? Not too hopeful as can't remember picking many of the players who did well.

No you don't, sorry
Everyone scored pretty high this week, losing week for me.

Enjoyed that article as well. Does anyone subscribe to any sites like that for info, or is it more worthwhile to do your own research for free? Also I don't want to pay for articles etc if they only come out on a Saturday or something.

Also interested if the US guys here actually watch much EPL, or do you mostly just research stats and have a look at match reports? Interested how easy it would be to learn a new league without having watched any games before (e.g. MLS).

Don't think you can be truly successful without watching some footie, but I'm old school.

I never watched mls before it was offered for fantasy and I'm probably the most profitable mls player currently (old_t close though). I watch almost all the games now though and actually enjoy the league a lot.

Yeah really high scoring week, unfortunately I didn't manage to get the right combo of high scoring players in any of my line-ups

Ha that's cool. Good to know that the possibility is there to learn something new fairly quickly.
I imagine if I did start playing another league that I would end up watching a lot of the games, but atm I haven't really watched any leagues regularly except the English ones and Champions League.

Combined player pool and hoooog pools one time dealer

There's no reason why they wouldn't. What would be their incentive be to split player pools when they have legitimate grounds for business in both jurisdictions?
