Should I Run 3 D?

[BealestreetTyrant]

For team 1 in sig, I am wondering if it's worth running three D, or dropping one player to grab a fourth.

Available D:

E. Johnsom
Goligoski
Myers
McDonagh
Carlson

Thanks! Will rep

Positions? Do you have any UTIL slots?

I have ran 3D with my team for the league in my sig (two util slots, 6 F slots, 4 D slots) for the past 2.5 years. Did the math a while back and I end up with a few extra F games overall despite wasting some forwards on a day with a busy schedule. It's definitely worth it if you have a league like mine.

The position are :

2 LW
2 RW
2 C
4 D
2 G
5 BENCH

Thanks for getting back! Yeah, I've more or less thought that I'm really only missing out on one D player on busy game days, and it's seems that I'll have a better chance at grabbing points with a solid FWD....especially in an 8 team league.

Given your scoring which I'd be running 3-D maximum. I'd rather have 3 games from a waiver wire forward then 4 from a waiver wire D-man in that setup.

Thanks Lawman! I ran 4D for the first half of the season or so, and since I've gone to three I've been winning categories more often and have been able to utilize hot players on the waiver wire a bit more (my league has no move penalties or maximums). Seems to be working solid so far.
