Fantasy Alarm is taking a different approach to help our subscribers build successful DFS lineups.  I will be giving you my personal core plays for this weekend's tournament.  These players listed below are my three favorite top tier, middle tier and value tier players for both DraftKings and Fanduel.  They will be at the core of all my lineups for this weekend's Valspar Championship and then I'll use my playbook to fill out the remaining spots in my lineup. 

Make sure you read my full PGA DFS Playbook for the Valspar Championship before using these core plays.  You can also take a look at my Weekly Tournament Projections at any time.

When you’ve got a course this difficult, the fields tend to be a little weaker because guys don’t like getting embarrassed on national television.  I’m not saying it’ll be as hard as the Masters or the U.S. Open last year but it will test these players.  You will see bogeys and that’s why I made Bogey Avoidance one of my key stats because these players have to avoid them as much as possible.  There are not a lot of true birdie making holes on this track.    

When you’ve got a limited selection of true top tier talent, I like to make sure I get at least one of the two or three into all of my lineups and then change it up from there.  I’ll start almost all of my lineups with Dustin Johnson but I will sprinkle in a few Justin Thomas because he’s just too good of a player to avoid him completely.  On Fanduel, you can pretty easily fit both of them into your lineup. 

After plugging in one of the top tier guys, I’ll mix up the second tier with guys like Im and Niemann followed by someone like Rose, Kokrak, and Tringale.  We will then dive into the 7K range to grab guys like Howell, Mickelson and Huh.  The bulk of my lineups will be a combination of those players with a few different ones from my playbook sprinkled in as well. 

This new format of core plays I think is way more valuable to our subscribers because it lends more to teaching than just copy and pasting.  A set of these players will be in each one of my lineups this weekend and then a mix of players from my playbook will fill out the rest.  

If you have any more questions, you can leave them in the chat or hit me up on twitter @Drew_Phelps83.  Good Luck!
