NFL LINEUP OPTIMIZER FROM FANTASY ALARM

Click Here to get started with the Fantasy Alarm Lineup Optimizer

Lineup Optimizers/Generators use qualitative data to create their lineups based on past performance and projected future in raw numbers. Projections cannot predict “UPSIDE”. Choosing players for lineups should not be derived from numbers, but instead from analysts who WATCH GAMES and then analyze mounds of data to determine value including “upside”. Our generator takes our analysts’ views on players combines 30+ numerical metrics to determine a player’s value. Then since it is built on a neural network, it learns how to get better as the season goes on by evaluating its performance against real results.

Straight numerical analysis from other Lineup Optimizers cannot deliver the “upside” necessary to consistently win at daily fantasy sports. So, join the DFS Playbook PRO to unlock this information from our analysts being used exclusively in our Lineup Optimizer. We think that using 30+ metrics and logic from the Fantasy Alarm team will create better lineups, but the best lineups will be produced with all the info factored in.

Ok. Let’s dive in.  Here is how to use the Lineup Optimizer.  First thing you should do is select your DFS Scoring system using that button that looks like the below.  We support FanDuel, DraftKings, Fanball, Yahoo!, Real-Time Daily and FantasyDraft. This sets the scoring system, roster definition, salary cap configuration and UNIQUE algorithm for you for that SITE.

Next, you should select the games that you want to use players from if you want to exclude any games.  You can select them by using the SLATE buttons and then click on ones you wish to eliminate in the creation of lineups. NOTE: This will make it so that (1) only those players appear on the left for you and ONLY those players will be used when you select the green GENERATE button.

Now it is time to set the players you love (lock), like, don’t like (exclude) and selecting which games to use players from.  We did all we could to make it easy for you.  Here are the mechanisms to do that.  These players can be selected by position or by using the search box which is NATIVE search.  What that means is that it will filter any lines by what you type. So, you want all players with $8500 salary, just type 8500 into the box. This makes it easier. There are restrictions. You cannot lock more players than the scoring system can use at a position and you cannot exclude more than 20 players. Other than that, have at it.

Now, what to do on the left.  Below it is time to set the players you want locked in your lineup (lock), ones to be consider higher (love) or want out of the lineup completely (exclude). In the frame, only the games selected from above will appear to make it easier for you.  So, as an example, not meant to be advice for this week or any week, I don't want any lineups with Aaron Rodgers or David Johnson so I click the X.  I have LOCKED A.J. Green and LeSean McCoy so he will be in the generated lineup and move over immediately to the right to show you.  By clicking on the heart both Drew Brees and Julio Jones are now LOVED so their value will be BOOSTED and used provided they now outvalue others and their salary will fitNow I am ready to start the work to build lineups.  

I can either LOCK more players to place them in the lineup or click on the GENERATE button and create some lineups.  Here is an example of one that came out of the generator based on my settings and what I put in.  Notice it is exactly to the $ for the salary cap on Fanball.  It has my locked players in it.  It filled out with players only in the games selected. Solid players and a solid lineup.  

Now, I can work on the lineup from here.  I can select players that I hate in this lineup.  For instance, I feel Tevin Coleman is not a great play and prefer to be off Eric Ebron and Emmanuel Sanders so I simply X them and click GENERATE again.

Now I have some choices about how to work with this. 

  • Edit the name of the lineup
  • Click SAVE to SAVE them for you to use later potentially.  You can save as many as you want.
  • Click the X on some players that I don’t like and re-GENERATE the lineup.

Using the SAVED LINEUPS button allows you to manage all your saved lineups.  Deleting the lineups, you do not want and saving the ones for play or for information for the rest of the week.

It is very important to note that we create products, content and services for YOU.  We want your feedback to get better.  This is a very difficult product to get right and companies are built around ONLY this product so if we are going to be able to make a Lineup Optimizer that will be good enough for you to use as our customers, we need your feedback.  It is important enough that I want you to send it to me directly at  rick@fantasyalarm.com

Thanks so much for listening and we hope that you enjoy this tool to give you information to make better lineups.
