00:00 Intro
01:25 With 30 minutes before lock, no late swaps, and only SaberSim for research, what would be your process?
03:09 If I set up two rules, for example, (first rule) use 2 players with my proj greater than 15 and salary less than $4.5k, and (second rule) use 1 player less than $4k, will SaberSim use 1 player who would satisfy both rules?
04:45 Can you please show how to set up rules for example stacking MVP with two players from the same team?
06:40 It seems # of dupes can be important in certain slates. Can you show how one could do a build for tonight's NFL slate with a dupe rule of let's say I want 0-50 dupes max?
10:05 What's your general strategy on the night slate vs the regular main slate?
12:02 While filling into the contests, what are the advantages and/or disadvantages of individually using direct vs auto-fill?
17:23 Is there a difference between using Contest Sims ROI after building lineups and running sims or choosing the specific contest and using ROI?
18:53 Do you have a suggested site for researching players or news?
21:10 If playing multiple contests, is it better to fill one up and then run another sim on the next contest I want to play?
23:52 How do you approach adjusting min uniques once you late swap?
26:37 For auto-fill, is it advisable to select the correct ROI per contest or leave it as ROI?
28:37 After u sum, do you make a filter by proj or SaberScore?
32:00 If you’re sorting by roi why would you set a filter to include roi greater than 0?
