00:00
So we are building a lineup.
00:02
We have a $50,000 salary as you do on DraftKings Daily Fantasy.
00:06
And we're going to go through now.
00:07
So top of the price list, Scotty Scheffler at $13,400.
00:11
How are we going to do this?
00:13
Are we going to?
00:13
What do we want to do?
00:14
What do we want to do strategy wise here?
00:15
Can you just can you just tell me who you kind of like right now?
00:19
Maybe mid tier, low tier, top tier, and then we can just spitball this thing together.
00:25
Can we start with this?
00:26
Because like JT at $9,900, given some of the guys ahead of him feels like a really good
00:31
price for JT.
00:32
You want to just saw my first pick.
00:35
I'm a plug in JT.
00:36
I want you to scroll down for me.
00:38
Okay.
00:38
All right.
00:38
And I want you to go find Keith Mitchell, Keith Mitchell.
00:42
Okay.
00:42
Hold on.
00:43
Let me, let me, I got a good staff for you on Keith Mitchell.
00:46
Cause this, if this thing ends Thursday, Keith Mitchell is, is he has the water maker trophy
00:53
in hand.
00:53
His scoring average in first rounds this year is, I think 66 or something like that.
00:59
It's something silly.
01:00
It's every, every week he's at the top of the leaderboard.
01:03
He's in the last groups.
01:05
Uh, that means something.
01:06
It means something I'm telling you.
01:08
And this is a really, really good golf course for him.
01:10
Can I throw you something else at you?
01:12
I was reading you some stats about lowest scoring average of quail and the Wells Fargo
01:16
championship era.
01:17
Keith has the fourth lowest scoring average.
01:19
Well, that full list.
01:20
I said, Rory was first throw Jason day, Keith Mitchell, Max Homa are the five in the field
01:26
this week who have the best scoring average of quail.
01:28
So let's Keith can win this week.
01:30
Keith and Keith is he's truly believe $6,200 that Keith can win this week.
01:36
I love that pick.
01:37
All right.
01:38
So you went with Keith as 6,200 that leaves us an average of $8,475 per player.
01:44
So that's, that's a nice bit of flexibility.
01:46
Do you mind if we can, can we continue to hop on the Shane Lowry bus?
01:51
I would love against that.
01:53
I know he's not the longest guy, but this dude keeps elevating his game week in and week out.
01:57
And he's, he's, you need, you need a solid dude that is going to be the rock of your lineup.
02:03
The only thing I wonder is like, is 9,200 too much to spend on a, on a Shane Lowry?
02:07
Do you feel, do we feel like that's about right for this week?
02:11
Because, because I'm just looking at guys around him, like T-rolls at 9,000.
02:15
I mean, I like Shane more than T-roll this week.
02:18
Yeah, all the, I like Shane more than all of these guys.
02:21
I would say Min Woo is a, like, if you liked Min Woo more than Shane, I would say that.
02:25
Well, if we spend on him, we're going to have to go down.
02:27
We're going to have to kind of spend, uh, in separate 8,000, but he's coming off a win.
02:32
All right, let's, let's push.
02:33
Let's, we've done this before.
02:34
Let's put Shane in.
02:35
Now we have JT, we have Keith Mitchell.
02:37
We have Shane.
02:38
We have an average remaining salary of $8,233.
02:42
How expensive are Rory and Scotty?
02:45
Rory's $12,200.
02:46
And Scotty's $13,400.
02:49
Seems like that's a lot of money.
02:50
It's a lot of money.
02:51
That's a lot of money.
02:52
Right now we're at, we basically have half of our roster at $24,700.
02:56
So it feels like Colin's too short for this week.
02:59
I mean, no disrespect to Colin, but it feels like it's going to be tough.
03:02
Do we want, I mean, you have, it feels like you have to take one of Scotty, Rory, or Bryson.
03:07
It doesn't not.
03:07
Bryson at 11.5 kind of feels like, I mean, I would, I would prefer Rory, but that saves you another $700.
03:16
You want to plug the big man in there?
03:19
Let's just give it a shot.
03:20
I mean, Bryson or Rory?
03:22
Bryson.
03:23
Oh, you want to go Rory?
03:26
Rory and JT.
03:27
Those are our two guys.
03:28
Yeah.
03:28
Let's, let's, let's do Rory.
03:30
Look, cause we have two spots left at 6,200.
03:32
So now let's just go down here and see if there's anyone we like around here before we have to change it up.
03:37
Okay.
03:37
Can I do a little scrolling?
03:38
Yeah, of course.
03:39
Okay.
03:41
Lucas Glover's got good history here, but I don't think he had a great week last week.
03:45
South Carolina guy.
03:46
Lucas is a player that I like so far.
03:48
JT Post was in North Carolina.
03:50
Oh, what about David Pooge?
03:52
Come on.
03:53
Can you look up some, look up some history with Pooge?
03:55
He hits it far enough.
03:56
What history?
03:57
Like, I don't know.
03:58
Is he playing good on live?
03:58
He has to live.
04:00
Apparently so.
04:01
If he got a special invite to the PGA, let's go.
04:04
David Pooge.
04:04
I have, I want to be on record.
04:07
I have a feeling about David Pooge this week and he has a 711 AMT time on Thursday and Jackson
04:12
does not know it yet, but I'm going to wake him up at 545 AM so we can get to the golf course
04:16
and watch David Pooge play golf on Thursday.
04:18
Man, this is tough.
04:20
All right.
04:20
So throw him in.
04:21
What about let's, let's throw the Pooge man in there.
04:22
Novak could be sneak.
04:23
Oh, I like Novak too.
04:25
That's sneak.
04:26
See, but now, now we're like now.
04:28
Oh, so Lucas.
04:29
All right.
04:29
Okay.
04:29
Let's look at that lineup.
04:31
So we have Lucas Glover, Shane Lowry, Rory McIlroy, Keith Mitchell, Andrew Novak, Justin
04:35
Thomas.
04:38
That's kind of, that's kind of a good lineup.
04:41
We can, we like that.
04:42
Dude, I think you locked that in.
04:43
All right.
04:44
Let's lock that.
