Re: new to Dobber and FHG, any pointers?
in a H2H league, you have to win categories, whether you beat your opponent in Goals by 10 or by 1 goal, you win the category regardless.
the way i use FHG is that i like to draft guys who can provide in every category. when looking at FHG, you see some guys that are less popular but would be available later in draft. its all about balancing your team in H2H. Like i wrote above, you just need to beat your opponent in the category. So you want to have all the coverage available without being too good at one (no point beating your opponent in HITS by 100 hits).
I would take the best player available regardless in the first 3-4 rounds, or the best of the best in certain categories. McDavid in points, Evander Kane for PIMs, etc.
once you have drafted your first 3-4 players, then use FHG to compensate for missing statistics. So if you drafted Gaudreau, McDavid, Barkov, you obviously have Points and PPP covered but will be missing in HITS and PIM. So i would therefore try and draft a guy that provides HITS & PIM.
