Can you explain how this may impact roster construction and stack types? 15:50 If you’re not satisfied with the lineup the build produces for that one high-stakes entry, how would you go about modifying just that specific lineup without impacting the others?18:45 After creating lineups, say you’re filling multiple portfolios but prefer your 3 entry to be certain captain or contain a certain playerIs there a filter to achieve this or would it manually have to be done for the pool?20:00 Under the old SaberSim on FanDuel I was able to see line ups that were not attached to a specific group. Would I still be able to do this with the new SaberSim system?22:35 Looking for strategy for multiplier contest. Seems like those contest are never really talked about.

00:00 Intro01:31 Any suggestions to limit the pool vs lineups or what is the best way to ensure your pool does not over build these type of lines? 05:35 I noticed in Templates where you do 1 lineup per contest if you edit that option you can see it says Contest Type Is Cash. I saw there are other options like GPP and Satellite does selecting these options change anything?09:05 It looks like playing with exposures does better after building your pool rather than setting a limit before building your pool. Is this correct?13:45 How is SaberScore calculated on the Starter plan?16:12 Back after 2 years. App is totally different. Can you walk through the late swap process?19:00 Can you help explain to me the different filling methods between Portfolio+ and just using uniques?20:57 Can you show me how to create rules for my NHL Lineups.
