digitalmonkey 929 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Do you avoid a guy like McDavid who will be on a lot of teams? Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 there`s always some merit to fading a high-owned guy, especially in hockey (I would think), where production is pretty volatile. As long as you are comfortable that it`s not going to work out most of the time. You can potentially gain a pretty big edge on the field if a 70% owned guy flops and you don`t have him in your lineup. With that said, I don`t know much about hockey DFS, so take that with a whole shaker of salt. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Although, maybe fading Mcdavid on a 2-game slate isn`t the best. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Forgot to post my week 1 cash game lineup in advance, but here it is/was QB Andy Dalton RB Alvin Kamara RB James Connor WR Emmanuel Sanders WR Antonio Brown WR Keelan Cole TE Jack Doyle FLEX Christian Mccaffrey DEF Ravens Scored 210 points and cashed everything except for a couple smaller double ups with <50 entrants. Probably my highest scoring cash lineup ever but a really high scoring week so it was only like a 75-80th percentile lineup. I took it easy in week 1. Wish I would have entered it in more lineups. ended up winning about $75 total. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Much tougher week this week with tighter pricing. Here’s my cash lineup for week 2. If Aaron Rodgers does not play, I will swap Houston D and Randall Cobb for Vikings D and A different WR QB Ben Roethlisberger $6,900 RB Todd Gurley II $9,200 RB James Connner $6,700 WR Emmanuel Sanders $6,200 WR Randall Cobb $4,600 WR Devin Funchess $4,700 TE George Kittle $3,800 FLEX Tevin Coleman $5,300 DEF Houston $2,600 Really makes me sick to run a cash lineup without Antonio Brown or Alvin Kamara but it’s just tough this week to fit guys in. No free square $4500 James Conner. The success of the week will probably come down to Gurley vs. Kamara. I think they are pretty equal and the tie breaker is Gurley was $300 less and I needed it.

Dubey 1,035 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 This is the least comfortable I’ve felt with a cash lineup since I started doing this. Feels like I should have Antonio Brown in there but I have to downgrade like 4 positions to make it work so I’m just going to let it ride and pray Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Scored 154 points and cashed all double ups comfortably. My alternate lineup with Antonio Brown would have scored about 135 and not cashed. 2/2 this year so far 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Dubey 1,035 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 no cash lineup for me in week 3 since I am travelling to Seattle on Friday morning and I can't access my DK account from there. Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 So I did end up making a cash lineup for week 3. Feels like cheating to post it after the fact but I was in Seattle all weekend. QB Patrick mahomes RB ALvin Kamara RB Kareem Hunt WR Tyler Boyd WR Julio Jones WR Will Fuller TE Eric Ebron FLEX Corey Clement DST Cowboys Scored 169.86 and cashed all double ups. I really scaled back the volume for the first 3 weeks. If I wasn't such a wimp, I'd be up huge this year. 3/3 on cashes, but I've only been doing $70-$90 each week. Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Cash lineup week 4 QB Phillip rivers Rb Alvin Kamara RB Gio Bernard WR Tyler Boyd WR Sterling Shepard WR Allen Robinson TE Eric Ebron FLEX Tevin Coleman DST Bears Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Made some last minute changes: Out: Rivers, Robinson, Coleman In: Geronimo Allison, Dalton, Melvin Gordon Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Scored 225 (!) points. Won a bunch of money 1 Link to post Share on other sites
mrdannyg 274 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 One of my ongoing fun games is to look at Dubey’s lineup on Saturday, take note of a couple players I’ve barely heard of, and wait for the Sunday alert that one of those players has scored 3 touchdowns 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Week 5 cash lineup QB Matt stafford RB Christian Mccaffrey RB David Johnson WR Stefon Diggs WR Tyler Boyd WR Marquez Valdes-Scalding TE Vance MacDonald FLEX James Connor DEF Bengals Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Week 5 cash lineup QB Matt stafford RB Christian Mccaffrey RB David Johnson WR Stefon Diggs WR Tyler Boyd WR Marquez Valdes-Scalding TE Vance MacDonald FLEX James Connor DEF Bengals Scored 167 points and Comfortably cashed everything.90th percentile lineup Link to post Share on other sites
gruven 530 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Scored 167 points and Comfortably cashed everything.90th percentile lineup nice work, dave, you’re killing it! Have you checked numbers against higher buyin head to heads to see if you’d be as successful? If so, you should be taking your Shot! I’d pitch in to your bankroll Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Yeah if I was more aggressive this year I’d be up loads, because my lineups have been doing outrageously well (80th percentile or higher most weeks when I only need 55th percentile to win) I want to be careful though because I think this level of success is unsustainable long term. I think I’ve won 15 out of 18 weeks or Something since I started doing this last year. I will have to increase stakes soon though, since I play exclusively single entry double ups and there aren’t that many of them so it’s hard to get enough volume unless you go up to $100+ buyins.

mrdannyg 274 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 What’s the rake on those head-to-head matchups? Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 What's the rake on those head-to-head matchups? 10%. I don't play head to heads though. I play exclusively single-entry double ups, where the rake is also 10%. how it works is the top 45% of the field (usually a large field 2k-25k) doubles their money. There are also large field 50/50s when the top 50% win but only 1.9x their money. the single-entry part is important, since the cash line is usually much higher on the multi-entry double ups, as smart players are putting in the same lineup 20+ times. The only issue I am running into is there are a limited number of these tournaments available. For week 6, I've entered every single entry double up up to $50 buy in, and the total is only about $180. If I want to increase my volume, I have to go up to $100 or $250 buy in events. I haven't researched yet whether it would be better to enter a $100 single-entry, or multiple $5-$20 multi-entry double ups in order to get more volume. I suspect the cash line is still lower for the higher buy-in, single entry double up. for this week, I'm happy with $180 in entries, so I'll probably look into it more closely next week (if I win again) Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Week 6 cash lineup: QB Jameis Winston RB Joe Mixon RB Melvin Gordon III WR Julio Jones WR Keke Coute WR Chris Godwin TE CJ Uzomah FLEX Tevin Coleman DEF JETS Link to post Share on other sites
mrdannyg 274 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Never even heard of Cuote so guarantee he scores 2 TDs this weekend 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I’ve been running pretty good, so it wouldn’t surprise me, but I’d settle for 6 catches for 90 yards. Link to post Share on other sites

Dubey 1,035 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Another huge score of 196.4 points. I will comfortably cash all the double ups regardless of what happens in the afternoon games. Currently a 99th percentile lineup though that will drop some depending on what Gurley and Zeke do in the afternoon. Link to post Share on other sites
