Huge changes to the soccer game, including:
11 players (vs 8)
Tackles and crosses from corners worth points
No more "one goal allowed" bonuses (meaning difference between a clean sheet and one goal allowed is seven points!)
Deductions for yellow cards and fouls conceded
With that said, here is my tentative lineup, pending starting XI announcements in the morning (and with $1000 spare salary I have plenty of wiggle room)
Hart
Fuchs
Nyom
Otamendi
Abdi
De Bruyne
Payet
Bony
Giroud
Joel Campbell
Vardy

Winning night as Favors and Lowery were not owned by many and each topped 40. Saving grace was that everyone was on Randle so when he crapped the bed it hurt a lot of teams. Looking to press my luck tonight, let me know what you think of the lineup:
Paul
Conley
Bledsoe
Gordon
Barnes
George
Griffin
Porzingis
Ezeli

Otamendi - GOAL
Abdi
De Bruyne - ASSIST
Payet
Bony
Giroud - GOAL
Joel Campbell - GOAL
Vardy - GOAL
I hope you guys tailed this this morning.....
With Fuchs not even playing, I cashed in six of six with this lineup (and 10 of 11 overall), won a ton of cash this morning. Had Hart not pulled a Joe Hart (dropping a cross for an easy tap-in goal late), I would've won almost 50% more than I did.

Anyone have an opinion on which on of these lineups I should go with: If I use Gasol then I have to use Russell. Leaning Gasol and Russell
Conley / D. Russell
Lowry
Wade
L. Williams
j. Green
Mirotic
Davis
Randle
Valanciunas/ M. Gasol

NY Attorney General is going hard after DK/FD. It'll be interesting to see if they have a contingency plan for their headquarters.

FD definitely is and if I remember right, DK is split between Boston and NY.

Both will be shut down, real soon.

No they won't. It will drag on in court long before they get shut down. Or they'll simply move to Texas, who has no problem with DFS (that's why FantasyHub is there).

Just because a HQ is legal doesn't mean states won't ban the game itself.

And that's a whole different issue. NY can ban the game, and the people in NY can't play it--however, if the entity is HQ there, they cannot provide it unless they move. That was my point. Nothing will get shut down anytime soon....it just means that people in NY may not be able to play anymore. Most states simply don't care enough. NY cares partly because it's taking revenue away from other gambling entities (mainly casino and horse racing).

Agreed.
More and more states are doing it now. It's gonna get worse before it gets better. They've got them in a catch 22 and there either gonna get kicked out of a state or end up paying a shit load of tax to keep going. Will be interesting to see what happens

That's what the poker industry thought too... still waiting for the better.

Correct. I should have thrown an (if) after that.
Basically they need to be regulated to be considered acceptable, but if they're regulated then they're considered gambling which then makes them illegal. That's the catch 22 they're stuck in

The difference is, the NFL gets ad revenue from them, and they didn't from poker. Don't underestimate how much pull The Shield might have in making sure DK/FD stay in business.

supposedly Fanduel delaying payments out to players by 2-3 days.
highly doubt anything happens to anyone with money in the site, but if i had a substantial amount of money in it i'd at least consider taking some to be on safe side.
a) you shouldn't have a substantial amount in it unless you're a pro.
b) i still highly doubt anything happens to your money either way.
c) doesn't hurt to be safe in times of uncertainty.
