In this episode, Andrew discusses whether rebuilding lineups too often can hurt your process and how to find the right balance. 00:00 Intro01:22 Is rebuilding too often a detriment to your process? 06:50 I have a question, are the projections and the ownership updated in the saved lineups builds, or the favorite builds updated also when I rerun Sims08:25 If I have moved lineups I like to "favorites," how do I move those to my specific contests?12:25 Is there a way to reliably get the live EV to show up? 13:50 What is the best way to create a rule that says No More Than Two K/DST in Same Lineup?15:24 I heard that contest selection recommendations are back to focusing on effective entrants again?19:10 Am I sacrificing EV when I’m adjusting my exposures and filters of my lineups post build? 21:48 Is there a way to set a rule to have a WR only show up in stacks with his QB?23:37 I’m doing the 50k Mon NFL Bomb on fD. 1000 total entries, 32 max entries. Do you recommend any changes in the settings, or should I just let the sim/diversifier run its course?27:10 How do people stand a chance in the big contest against elite players?29:55 I saw that TrueDFS offers a bundle that includes SaberSim + their projections. How often are you seeing players use non-SS projections, and could those mess with SimROI + other post-contest sims?33:25 I've seen in some of your videos that you'll have a tab called "Field Tabs". Is that basically what could be considered a dry run, like in a standards optimizer?35:00 What determines a person being considered an elite DFS player?37:25 What’s the biggest difference between using SaberSim on pc and phone?

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/S7zP42g2gEI 00:00 Intro01:28 Is there a way to use different ownership values in the same build and only apply those ownerships to the applicable contests?04:15 Is there a way to save my column setup across all builds?05:12 On the contest tab, you can enable the contests you are entering, but you can't change them there. Does that mean those are the field lineups the contests are using in the build itself?06:00 Would it be possible to discuss use cases where someone might manually raise or lower sim diversity?13:18 Is it possible to build and download a set of lineups without uploading entries first? 15:10 Say I want different player pools for my 150-max. 20-max, and SE contests in a classic NFL slate.
