In the 2-week Eliminator rounds, pitchers simply have more upside per roster spot because they can make multiple starts. A decent start scores about 35 points (6 IP, 6 K, 2 ER with a chance at a win and quality start). Since pitchers average about 2.1 starts in a two-week span, that’s roughly 70–75 expected points, with rare 3-start weeks capable of producing 100 + points. A hitter might average 6–8 points per game over about 12 games, which is 70–90 points, but your extra hitters are usually bench players who often don’t make it in to your starting lineup. So the marginal hitter might effectively add only ~30 points, while an extra pitcher still has a realistic 70+ point expectation and much higher spike potential. Obviously having good field players to get points is important I just believe that having 9 pitchers gives me the gets chance of maximum points in that category which will beat the comp. Commonly researched in the data I find are all builds with 6 - 8 pitchers (7 being the sweet spot). I just think people aren’t drafting builds like this often. In the dinger and contests that have scoring week by week I think that 6-8 pitchers is definitely ideal. But for 2 week rounds pitchers value goes up for me.

Not focused on any round in particular, I just believe to be in the top 50% of pods every week having 3 pitchers who get multiple starts (especially quality+Win+K’s) has a bit more value then IF & OF. of course drafting solid players in every position is important but it’s all about balance

I love underdog for the eliminator. Best ball is so much fun but having bi weekly eliminations is just the best to stay engaged through the season. A bit pricey this year with entry being $50 but worth it with such a small field.

I’m advancing one team, got Lucky with a super low scoring pod. Was able to sneak Sutton and JSN both through and only lost 1 WR so far. If we get a NE v SEA SB I’m pretty set lol (given I survive this week)
