How To Set A DFS Lineup

Fantasy Hockey is much like other fantasy sports for DraftKings as it has a salary cap limit of fifty thousand for each lineup or entry. The difference between Fantasy Basketball and Fantasy Hockey is that hockey has one more position that you have to fill in your lineup. In fantasy basketball, you have one point guard, one shooting guard, one small forward, one power forward, and one center, as well as an additional guard, forward, and utility player. The utility player can be any position and helps create flexibility within your lineup so you can have several players at different positions. Fantasy hockey has one more slot for your lineup, but the positions are two centers, three wingers, two defensemen, one goalie, and one utility player. When considering a DFS lineup for fantasy hockey, you want to consider how positional matchups might affect certain players, as well as whether or not a player’s “salary” is too high or too low. Many times the DFS players who win a contest or qualifier are able to predict players to have great games who otherwise are typically not high fantasy scorers,

Conclusion

This event is the best that DraftKings offers for Fantasy Hockey with a top prize of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars to one of the forty qualifiers. Even if you place 40th, you can still win a substantial cash prize! Hop into the next qualifying event quickly as the championship is around two months away.
