Could anyone explain to me the advantage, if any, of submitting lineups early? i.e. submitting today for the weekend's games.

For gpps? None.

For cash allows you to be more likely to diversify your action. Your games are up for longer and exposed to more players picking games to join.

Also I check lobby often to essentially bumhunt and snatch up h2hs vs unknowns (usually fish). This helps diversify your action and increase your winrate assuming they are fish.

Generally speaking unless you have a massive bankroll you don't want to have the bulk of your action to be with the same players as it can lead to massive variance even if you good edges.

Sometimes this is necessary though if you need to battle for lobby control. For example, pew is prob the top soccer Dfs player but old t has been moving up and posting more games. Chances are they will battle it out taking all each others games for essentially the right to post bigger h2hs. If one person gets crushed they'll essentially have to stop posting games or the other will spam take all their games causing more loses.

I did this to ibasso in mls to the point he completely stopped posting h2hs

I submit early for gpp's so that I don't have to worry about them filling up. You can always edit your lineups later anyway after you have to time to research them/find out who's actually playing.

cheers!

yeah that is a good reason
interesting to hear the dynamics that occur with cash games, looking forward to being able to get on DK and figure those out

I assume most of you talk about MG, because on DK you can just reserve your spot in GPP's and fill the lineup later.

As for h2h's, on DK at least, you can choose the maximum number of times you want to play the same player. So, for instance, if you're worried about being bumhunted by sharps, you can just set that max to 1 and still post h2h's. Again I have no idea how it works on MG as I am not currently seeing much advantage to playing there.

i've never even played a h2h on MG, i only put entries in the main gpp and avoid anything else

Mondo Goal crashes close to deadline.

Still out of country so didn't follow this week's MG 10k. Judging by posts above assuming you had a nice bink TWhelan - congrats!

Thanks for the explain Duck. Interesting to hear the dynamics at play in H2Hs. Like TWhelan mentioned, excited to get on DK and see this.

Did a bit better on my MLS lineups last night, starting to work out this league a bit better now.

ty, yes unreal rungood last weekend!

Hey folks, I interviewed one of the honchos at Mondogoal yesterday for my podcast, and he was a really interesting guy (with +$10k in winnings at DFS soccer - a whole lot more than me ).

Here's the team that he picked for this weekend's Mondogoal slate:

Lloris
Francis
Kompany
Walker
Hazard
Hoolahan
Coutinho
Shaqiri
Aguero
Rondon
Pedro

^ I watched you guys last week and the thing that struck me was how unenthusiastic you were about the fixtures
Surely being Scottish you should be more excited

had adam and coutinho in cash. weeeeeeee

lol tough break. i like adam more than just about anyone for dfs but why use him over shaqiri today?

i had an abysmal day. then i checked DK and my reaction was basically this:


mopped the floor in cash somehow. amavi the key i guess.

wow

i slept through the games but holy crap some crazy stuff went down

im honestly not sure if imm winning or not, but i def will be if kane scores

might be ****ed on mondo tho

took bunch of h2h vs unknown assumed fish and his defense was sagna/ward

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

what a dumpster fire of a defensive selection

i hedged

shaqiri / amavi in the morning slate, adam / francis in the late.

Beat DuckSauce in a $5 h2h. LFC_USA > Model

Anyone know if Mondogoal will award Gradel's assist?

5th in the $3 with 107 pts, too bad that team didnt get into the $27, woulda been 2nd

ended as great day, woulda been huge with kane goal


cant say what will happen on mondo since their scoring updates dont exist

No idea what they award as an assist tbh. They don't give assists for own goals for starters.

I ended up doing fairly horribly, had a lot of Coutinho and also had some Albrighton shares, but somehow ended up breaking even overall.

They just go by Opta, who have a much stricter definition of assist than the FPL game.
