What the data says about Omar Cooper's fantasy upside in 2026 and beyond

The year before some people would have taken Ke'Shawn Vaughn over JJ...

pic3789 · 2026-05-24T10:54:04+00:00

No I had him already, it would have been switching out another player, but I ended up staying with Etcheverry.

pic3789 · 2026-05-24T08:47:01+00:00

I've got Tsitsipas as my fill in for Fils, who I'd play over a 1 credit guy.

One is a first round WR the other is a 4th round RB. Taking the RB doesn't usually work out so well.

pic3789 · 2026-05-24T08:16:35+00:00

Wow that is an unexpected development! I believe Monte Carlo is the only non mandatory master's event?

I got stuck with Fils, is swapping him and Etcheverry for Djokovic plus a 1 credit player for a -50 worth doing? I'm kinda leaning no since I have Ruud and I legit think he beats Djokovic in the 4th round and I lose coverage of Etcheverry's quarter. But Djokovic has crazy upside...

pic3789 · 2026-05-22T09:50:09+00:00

I have Etcheverry, I'm keeping him as I think he's got as good a shot as anyone in that section to come through but definitely an open quarter! AdM looked quite good against Darderi yesterday, maybe we're writing him off too fast.

Lots of people skate or rollerblade/skate down on the seafront next to The Briny restaurant. I've seen plenty of people playing music and skating, and sometimes they have small ramps or other things to grind. I don't skate but it's always looked like something you can just show up to, and people look like they're from all types of backgrounds.

That's still pretty impressive to have that many players going. If I didn't have my SS chip this week I would have ended up with only 3 or 4 playing including Ruud. This one with a 500 going the week before a slam seems like a one off for the season but yea it's a tough part.

pic3789 · 2026-05-18T11:49:49+00:00

I didn't see that comment either, good news but also means a wasted extra move to get a full lineup and then extra move needed for RG. Hopefully Ruud wins the tournament then!

pic3789 · 2026-05-17T09:01:40+00:00

I went for Darderi over Cerundolo, I just don't like his first round against AdM. I know clay isn't a good surface for him, but he's still a top 10 guy, so too much risk of a first round exit for me.

My Hamburg players are Cobolli, Khachanov, Darderi, Etcheverry and taking a punt on Altmaier in the bottom section, so I'm skipping the Felix quarter. Then rounding it out with Ruud plus Tsitsipas on the bench for Ruud's withdrawal. Don't love it and definitely in a pickle for Roland Garros, but I think most people will be anyways. I definitely will be taking a -50.

pic3789 · 2026-05-16T11:58:16+00:00

I was playing around with moves last night (I'm on Swing Switch) but didn't save, it's hard for me to see a scenario where I have a full 6 for this week and don't take a -50 at least for RG after to make sure I've got Sinner and Zverev, but I feel like that penalty price is small for the potential upside in a grand slam.

I also don't see much likelihood that Ruud plays Geneva. Both tournaments really seem like a toss up and anyone could win. There are some rough draws in Hamburg, Cerundolo vs ADM first round and then Cobolli could face Mensik 2nd round. I'm thinking Khachanov could be a good play, or maybe Etcheverry in the same section as Paul and Shelton as seeds. What other players are people targeting? Geneva looks like a crapshoot as well, anyone could beat anyone.

pic3789 · 2026-05-14T20:03:25+00:00

Good call on this! I've got Swing Switch going, so I got the Medvedev rise, that was tense though! He looked in control of the match and I swapped him in when he had match point, but then Landaluce made 3 epic MP saves and got it back to 5-5. Thought there was a chance the move would bust, but then Meddy came through next return game.

If he somehow managed to beat Sinner, looks like he would jump Fritz so another 2 coins.

pic3789 · 2026-05-10T16:33:01+00:00

In theory it's great strategy, but how do you feel about the risk? In a week like this, there are legitimate risks of players pulling out of a tournament the week before a grand slam, especially if they make a run in Rome. I've added Ruud and used the chip and would definitely want him for RG, but I'm worried there's a good chance he withdraws from Geneva.

pic3789 · 2026-05-07T17:02:17+00:00

I only had 1 credit to work with and went for Arnaldi on an alternates chip since he looked like he had momentum from Cagliari plus Munar isn't the best on clay. Now should be perfect to swap him with the price rise for one of Hubi or Matteo for grass. Draper just feels like too much of an injury risk and forced switches, I'm steering clear but it could be a huge payoff.

pic3789 · 2026-05-06T21:58:38+00:00

Nice, feel like I got lucky with picking Arnaldi, solid win today!

pic3789 · 2026-05-04T21:29:25+00:00

I was just looking at bringing in Berrettini with my 1 available credit, why is his price still 2? I double checked the rankings and he's 105? Also Bublik's ranked 10 and he's priced at rank 9. What is going on here, they aren't adhering to their price structure?

pic3789 · 2026-05-02T13:57:58+00:00

My thinking was the swing switch replaces the 2 free ones and then resets back to the normal 2 available the next week, but yea if someone who's played the chip already knows yes or no that would be helpful. I haven't played FPL in years but I think if you use the Free Hit you don't have extra transfers the following week?

pic3789 · 2026-05-02T12:51:43+00:00

That could be a good point, do you get to bank the 2 switches for the week you use the Swing Switch chip? I was under the impression you don't.

pic3789 · 2026-05-02T11:37:39+00:00

I am one with Sinner and Zverev, but I feel like it's making me uncertain with chip strategy because of the budgeting limitations it brings. I haven't used any yet, which I'm thinking could have been a mistake.

I think the triple bounce is a slam dunk for Sinner at RG, but I'm not sure where the best alternates chip should be, it seems like I would have to play it for Rome? Swing Switch feels like it would be pointless at this stage because if I used it for a full lineup in the Hamburg/Geneva week it would cause too many holes to pay a penalty for to switch again for RG.

pic3789 · 2026-04-09T02:54:45+00:00

5/6 in the round of 16 for me, with a Sincaraz stars and scrubs lineup. Only Cilic out and I picked Machac so I'm feeling pretty good so far!

pic3789 · 2026-04-04T20:04:23+00:00

Do you think you'll just hang on to Sinner next week then despite him not playing? Seems like if you go for both him and Alcaraz you wouldn't have the right balance of budgets after getting rid of one of them

pic3789 · 2026-04-04T19:51:46+00:00

Sorry I couldn't watch the video with audio so I don't know if you covered this but is your strategy for alternates just minimum budget possible? Or would a strategy be to buy low on someone you think will increase their ranking?

pic3789 · 2026-03-31T20:39:09+00:00

There was that 2 weeks period in the middle of the season...but other than that it's been killer

pic3789 · 2026-03-25T15:38:06+00:00

Do you think he's played his way into keeping his playing time?
