"I actually took down 5th place on fanduel in a 12k entry gpp in week 1 for $1,500.00 on a $10 single entry tourney..   Players cap numbers were lower in a lot of instances since the year just started and adjustments hadn't been made yet...  \n \nFast forward 6 weeks, and between all I've read about \"teams\" playing lineups, scripts, and so many people buying lineups to use its become less and less fun each week knowing your not playing on a level playing field vs other regular people..  \n \nDraftpot has that fan mode option where you just pick any player you want (no salary cap) and even if that's not as much fun it appears easier to cash in since the cheap player variables have been eliminated..   \n \nIt seems like not only do those contests draw in more \"Joe the DFS/fantasy newbie\" types who just want to use guys they know (Brady, Peterson, Gronk) so more of the entries seem to be from normal people, but I'm not sure the \"insider\" guys can definitively say for example \"Luck is better than Brady this week\" since we can all see the raw data and make our choices based solely off ceilings..\n \nAnd on that site if you scroll down in the lobby the dudes who are in a bunch of contests usually stick to the \"gm mode\" side where there is a cap...\n \nI pulled most of the balance left in my fanduel acct out the day the story broke about the dirty stuff going on with dk/fd a few weeks ago just in case it was frozen.. \n \nNow I will only play with the little I left in there and when I cash, if it's a decent hit I move it right off because none of us want to lose access to the money we have beaten poor odds to get our hands on...\n \nDFS was fun while it lasted and that big cash prize was great, but I'd rather not feed the beast and lose money back to an unfair system..  All of which is a reminder of just how huge fantasy has become since way back to the time of looking in Monday's USA Today for Sunday's stats to calculate who won that week, when it was still pure and wasn't America's new all aged Bingo that people are now robbing with there shady schemes..\n"
