Make sure to check out Part 1 of the FFPC Main Event Strategy Guide, breaking down the rules of the contest.
I’m going to cover Rounds 1-6 in this part of the Strategy Guide. Building an explosive core in the early rounds will be vital in building your million dollar winning roster.
The biggest key to good roster construction is winning the flex positions. The FFPC allows for 2 flex starters (RB,WR,TE). In order to have an absolute juggernaut, you have to have 2 players in the flex that are smashing. We just want points!
Speaking of points… The players that score the most points based on where you will be taking your flex positions (Rounds 3-6) are WRs. Historically, after round 1, WRs outscore RBs at their respective ADPs. WR15 outscores RB15, etc. We need to know ADP in order to maximize these picks. though. Check out Main Event ADP here.
Roster construction is almost as important as the actual players we select. We will go through my favorite players in these rounds, but another crucial tool is the Draft War Room. The DWR is a dynamic cheat sheet that adjusts rankings as the draft moves along. You can sync it to your draft and league. It is a game-changer, folks!
In order to find value and smash the flex, we need to compare Draft Sharks projections to ADP. That is where we find the value. That is where we smash the flex. Let’s get started.
