[jimslam]

Hey Guys,

In the Finals! Need to pick someone up....who do you like from this list?

Atkinson
Riley Nash
Jenner
Nugent-Hopkins
Craig Smith
Toffoli
Ekman-Larsson

My opponent has 6 defencmen...krug was a mulit-cat stud lately, not sure if i should follow suit with another D....

If you think you need another D then OEL for sure...he's been solid lately. Is it just the rest of this week?

What categories do you need most, is this just until Sunday, and do you have any positions where you wouldn't be able to fit someone in (say your centres are already full one day do you can't actually get a game from Nuge)

we go till sunday....peripheral cats are pretty close, im doing about 6 points better in scoring....power play points tied up.

with the utility, i can fit anyone in my lineup regardless of position...

Have you checked who out of your group has the most games?

What I do in these situations, is figure out who has 2+ games in the next 4 nights (3 if you have "Daily - Tomorrow" roster settings). From there, you look at your categories, deciding how many you need to steal/hold onto to win the matchup. Focus only on those categories, and pick up the guy best suited for those.

Usually by now in the week you have a few categories locked up (let's assume 10 total categories), your opponent has a couple, (say 2-3 each) and then the rest are the swing categories. Of the swing categories, you will need 3-4 to secure the matchup. Picking a player becomes a lot simpler if you are looking for 3 specific categories in players that have multiple games over a small time period.
