Thanks Pete, some of these will help me for sure as I always get to the playoffs then sputter out, but this is only my 2nd TRUE BB year. I like it more than seasonal for my Large Pool Tourney's and it's 100x more winnable than DK daily's(except showdown drafts). Hands down the best tip is PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. I did so many $1-5 DK BB's last year that after 2 weeks I could do 5-7 drafts at once with no pressure. GL! and just wait until they incorporate NFL NFT's with Fantasy Football ♥
I’ve been consuming ETRs best ball content all summer; and rather than trying to explain it to my friends, I can just send them this video. Excellent summary!
Regarding tip 2, "optimal construction"...what was optimal in 2020 was not optimal in 2021. 10-wr teams did not fair nearly as well. Teams with 5 rbs actually did much better. You can't take 2020 as gospel, it's such a tiny data sample. 2021 was totally different. Best thing to do is take different approaches and vary your constructions, while staying true to a specific construction in each draft.
Unlike a lot of other "experts" you seem to know what you're talking about. Liked and suscribed. Just quick tip, if you can get a better camera and pay someone on fiverr for intro.
So, I've never played best ball because it wasn't legal in my state to play DFS until the season started, but if people are reacting to early round RBs being over-priced relative to early round WRs, wouldn't that cause additional good RBs to drop, and additional mediocre receivers to rise.... thus evening things out? I know you made some money, Pete, and congrats! But did we see that change a bit this year or is this still valid going into next year?
You actually addressed it later in the video after I saw that RB/WR chart, but I'm still wondering how that worked out. I'm guessing some people got some big-time steals on a Jonathan Taylor or Joe Mixon or a James Conner, but it just so happened that they had some of their worst weeks come best ball playoff time. One takeaway that is true almost every year: trying to figure out the best games on a slate 20+ weeks ahead of time is an exercise in futility. We know a hell of a lot less about these teams before the season starts than we think we do.
