 The PGA Tour headed down to Mexico for this weekend. It is a worldwide technology championship at Mayakoba at El Camaleon in Playa del Carmen. Should be a pretty fun event because we got some good golfers in the field for this week, an interesting course as well, some course history data to look at, plenty to break down, so let's dive on in and get you set for some PGA DFS this week. Welcome on into the Heat Check Fantasy podcast powered by NumberFire. That's right here on the FanDuel Podcast Network and NumberFire.com. My name is Jim Sonnis. I am a senior writer and analyst for NumberFire.com. Joined here as always by Brandon Gideula. He is the managing editor of NumberFire.com. Brandon, we're out to El Camaleon for this weekend. How are you doing today? Very, very evidently worldwide technology is a successful company according to Wikipedia. They've been around as long as I have since 1990, but I cannot stop tilting over the fact that they are worldwide technology as in two words for worldwide. It just, it makes it sound like it's wide technology around the world, which is like kind of the same thing, but it's not. And as someone who's a managing editor and has been in the trenches for the past 10 years editing content, I just can't let it go. Yeah, I think that just bugs me. It's like if I were to do NumberFire specific example, the late round podcast by our boss, JJ Zacharyson has a hyphen in it because JJ understands punctuation and he doesn't want to be the round podcast. It's the late round podcast. Wide technology versus worldwide technology that there's a difference there. So I think that this is a fair gripe. You have to pump out like 16 different pieces of content each week. Does your soul die every time you type out, not just because it's obnoxiously long, but also because of the lack of hyphen. You just type out the name of this event. Yeah, I mean, I golf events, honestly, are named very lengthy names at times. Sometimes they're just clunky, but again, like nothing against WWT, which is apparently from what they're also known as. No offense to WWT, again, they're doing great. They don't have to worry about what I say. I just, I kind of want to be a fly on the wall back in 1990 when they said, like, yeah, this is the one and it's not going to be confusing. I mean, I'm sure it's a very in-depth conversation on their part. We're going to break things down from a BFS perspective. Let you know who we are targeting for this week First, a quick reminder that NBA is back.

Week nine preview podcast coming up on Thursday, 10 a.m. on the FanDuel YouTube page and up on the Number Fire Daily Fantasy Podcast Feed. After that, if you like what you hear, leave us a rating and review. Let's break down the Worldwide Technology Championship at Mayakoba. It is at El Camaleon Golf Course. It is 7,017 yards and a par 71. There are once again 132 golfers in the field for this week. The top 65 plus ties make the cut after the first two rounds. So similar setup to last week. Once again in play for this week at the Mayakoba. Brandon, we've been to this course before. No shot link data, but what stands out to you when you look back at what has happened here in the past? Yeah, we get pass-palum greens, which I think is one of the main takeaways. So we don't have like, as far as I know, any shot link data from any courses that have pass-palum greens. I also hear pass-palum, but I typically hear pass-palum more. So I'm just gonna go with that pronunciation. Again, we don't have splits on it. So I won't say it very much after right now. I just wanted to point that out. Past winning scores here have hovered around 20 under. Past cut lines just under par. So you're gonna need to be able to score if you want to contend for this week. It's a bit shorter than your usual par 71 among those on the PGA tours, usual rotation, but a lot of the short yardage comes from some short par threes, basically under 160. But we also don't have any like long holes to add on distance. So it's kind of like a, feels like almost like a par 71 with just really short par threes. So even with that though, driving accuracy has popped up as basically, I don't want to say the key stat, but a very key stat for El Camaleon. And so that's kind of the angle that I'm taking. That's what we had last week. I think based on some of the notes that I've peaked at, we're on a lot of the same plays, probably from the fact that we're looking at guys who, or I don't want to say looking at golfers who drive the ball accurately. It's more, we are targeting golfers who drive the ball accurately because their salaries probably don't really reflect their peak skill level, but they're in a better situation. So they're probably a little bit under salaried. So that's kind of, I'm looking at basically the same things as last week. So my key stats or stroke scan approach, driving accuracy plus stroke scan off the tee, kind of don't account for too much of each of those, but not really looking for a distance, looking more for accuracy and birdie or better rate for this week. And I think that nothing really explains the difference between what I'm looking for this week is to know that like Abraham Anster gets a massive course boost this week and someone like Justin Thomas or Tony Finoe, kind of get knocked down a bit. Right. And I think that looking back at last year, if I look at my numbers, you know, I would all do, it'll take the top 15 or so finishers, look at where they were for the full season and various stats and see what archetype did well. Stroking off the tee actually did perform pretty well there and perform better than the other stuff. But I think that's just because like, there were some decent golfers in that field, driving accuracy definitely was better than the distance. Good drives gain is where I'm going to wind up going for my stat off the tee this week, just because again, I don't want to, you know, focus on guys who just put it in the middle like five yards down the fairway. So that's why I decided to go that way. I will say though that stroking off the tee is maybe a bit underrated for this week. So I would still like Brandon is doing factor that in because that can still count. But like, you know, I think if you're choosing one or the other, I would lean towards accuracy obviously based on like, if you go to the data golf is like a spider graph that shows which stats matter most relative to where they're usually at. And accuracy is just like off the chart basically for this week, compare it to other weeks. Off the spider. Off the spider, yeah. Spiders going nuts for that one. So I think that for this week, we should bump up guys who may otherwise be penalized. And I think that's important to know too when you're looking at birdie numbers because sometimes guys may not make birdies because they're on courses that are longer that may be more forgiving this week. So I want to emphasize birdies are better gained because it does matter a lot for scoring, but I also don't want to punish too much guys who may not get a lot of birdies because of a lack of distance. I think that's the key thing I'm trying to keep in mind because like I care a lot about birdies and I want to make sure I'm not overemphasizing it for guys who may get a bump up this week as a result of lack of distance at the course. Yeah. It's basically the same thing I said, but just differently, like, which is like, you know, totally worth like kind of sticking on because it's kind of a hard concept sometimes where it's like, yeah, some of these golfers don't really look as good as others. These guys who are shorter hitters, accurate hitters, but you just got to remember like, the way that golf is played is that they will rotate to courses and most courses, I'd say like nine out of 10 courses favor or, you know, I don't know the word I'm looking for. Like they favor longer hitters. So like 80, 90% of these guys' samples is just at courses that don't really fit them as well as this week. So like their long-term data is gonna look worse. That's why you take advantage of these situations whenever there's a course that sets up well for shorter hitters. So as I mentioned, we've been here for a while. We've been to my ICO with plenty of times. Let's dive into past history here and talk about a guy who measures up well even at courses that don't fit him and which should make us love him even more this week. That is Abraham Anser. He will be a major talking point this week. We'll talk about him in the betting markets as well, but he has a long history to outcome of Leon. What have you seen from him here in this event? Yeah, so he's my favorite process-based play to begin with before I looked at really salary or betting odds or anything. I was like, okay, answers rating out number one in my stats model for what I'm looking for for this week. So he fits the course, but he's also done well at the course, which doesn't always, we don't always have that overlap, but we have it with Anser. He missed the cut here in 2015 and was 55th in 2016, but ever since he's finished top 25 in four straight years, including three top 12 finishes. So, you know, no wins, not like the third, second, fourth, you know, kind of elite, elite numbers, but top 12s. I mean, that's, you can't really write those off either. I mean, we don't have shot link data, but we do have at least fairways gained, greens and regulation gained, things like that from Fantasy National and Anser ranks 10th among golfers with data at this course in greens and regulation gained. He is third in fairways gained, which is pretty much exactly what you would expect for Abe Anser at a course like this, especially with the finishes being good. So we would pretty much easily be able to say that he's got good T degree numbers. And if the finishes are that good, probably putts pretty well at this course as well. So I would presume that Anser just winds up chalky. I thought that, I thought that before his odds shifted, we'll just kind of contextualize it. He opened at 27 to one and he's now 15 to one. He's a favorite. He became the favorite. His salary is, I would say only 11,400, which is low for a favorite. So presumably Anser catches a ton of chalk. What are your thoughts on him this week? Well, I think for cash gains, you just go there. I think that he makes a lot of sense there. It's mostly a question for tournaments. And I think that for tournaments we have guys we can pivot to. Like maybe it's a guy, Victor Hovland, I think, is a really logical pivot off of Abraham Anser for this week because he is another guy who can put the ball in the fairway. He has good approach play. He can make birdies. Not as good of a putter as Anser. And he did win here last year. So we know he can measure up all the course. I'm just curious, like, like I, maybe this is me just trying to like cope with the fact that Anser is gonna be super popular. Like, does the fact that Hovland won last year draw away some popularity? What it probably does is just ensure that they're both very chalky, which is pointy. Cause I think that there are the two guys I would like most here. Maybe that means we should go Justin Thomas. But like you said, this is not the best course fit for him. But he's a very good golfer. So I guess I'm kind of conflicted on how to view the top just because like there is a salary gap. I'd like to say that 600 between Anser and Thomas. And you know, this is how I got him and him and Hovland too. But like, I can tell you with a good amount of certainty that Anser will be popular. And with almost an equal amount of certainty that Hovland will be too. And that kind of just like bugs me out. Yeah, they'll both be popular right now. It's early, so these will change. But according to fansharesports.com, Abraham Anser leads this field in tags. He's got seven, nobody else has more than five. And I will say that the percentage of the salary it takes to roster Anser on Fandle is even lower than on some other sites. So factoring in that aspect, I would say Anser's probably a lock to be at least 35% rostered, if not 40%. So again, I think he's the best play of the week. I think a lot of people will view that as well. So he's a lock for our head to head for this week. As far as tournaments go, we have other places to pivot. And with golf being what it is, I'm fine. Missing out because if Anser wins, you're gonna be contending with a ton of other lineups. If Anser doesn't win, which is statistically more likely, I haven't been about 7%. So you kind of wanna play the odds there. And that's, I think, the right way to go. And it's the unfortunate reality of golf, for PGA DFS, which stinks. So we'll deal with that for sure. But cash games, yes. I think we can talk about some other ways to maybe use him without being full shock in the bookmaker section. Let's first talk about Billy Horschel, though. Horschel, another guy who's been coming to my coma for a while, and it's come with good results. His past three trips from Horschel have been a 21st place finish, an eighth and a fifth. Across 22 total rounds that he'll come on their own, Horschel ranked second in Green's a regulation game per round of 0.6. He's also getting an average of 0.6 fairways per round so he can navigate the fairways. His approach seems solid. The form for Horschel is scattershot as he's been playing more in Europe recently, but he did win the BMW PGA championship there. He was ninth of the tour championship on the American side. So we don't have a ton of recent data on a Horschel, but he's been competent in the recent data and his record here is very good. Problem is the salary ain't cheap. He's $10,400. So where he had to Billy Horschel this week? Someone who definitely is deserving of a closer look. I think that salary's fine, honestly. I just kind of like other names right around there too. Aaron Wise is popping for me. If I can say Matt Fitzpatrick at 10.8, I would say him. Taylor Gooch, our guy, or at least my guy, I don't want to put him on you. Sergio, 10,000. So we have a lot of options here. I just don't know if Horschel is gonna be the best of them for me just because I see some other like better values. If I combine recent stats, if I combine course fit, if I combine long-term form, I don't think he does enough. So I'm kind of okay just being out on Horschel. Yeah, love a good Gooch. We'll talk about him in current form, variant on that. Okay, with that for sure. There are other guys in that range too. So I, the respected Horschel is done, respect that he's a good course fit and I'm okay missing out on him for this week as well. So let's talk to about Emiliano Grillo, Grillo $9,100. He had that like crazy spurts back in the spring slash summer where Grillo was like just racking up good finishes but he's got history here and he's got a lot of it. So what do you see with Grillo in the past and he'll come a little? Yeah, I mean, so Grillo's been great here, which I know I don't really need to say, but like really great, especially for a golfer with a value salary, he's finished 10th, 9th, 15th, 41st, and 8th. So that's four top 15s and two top 10s in five starts. We don't have shot link again, but we have those traditional stats and Grillo, according to Fantasy National, his third in Greens and Regulation gained 13th and fairways gained among golfers with data here. So presumably he would have good TeeDee renumbers and it's actually kind of a safe assumption for Grillo anyway, especially if finishes are good because we know he doesn't really do it with the putter. There are always questions with that putter for Grillo, but it is a rare surface and I, again, don't have a whole lot of data to dig into and you can't always just base it off of Greens and Regulation versus like putts per round. Presumably because it's an uncommon surface, it kind of levels the playing field a bit. I don't want to make that assumption, but it's also hard to look at Grillo knowing that he's got just one of the better TeeDee Green games in a field like this, put him in a full, really strong field that tapers off a bit, but the irons can always be just red hot for Grillo. So I like him. There's always a concern because of the putter. Is he doing enough for you for this week? Well, what I want to ask you is, what's your sentiment on the range around 9,000? Because I think there are several names I like down there and I don't know, like if I'm just like, oh, you know, talking myself into them because I need to save salary somewhere, but I think there's some guys down there who are pretty lively. So I think that that's the drawback is I can get access to guys with decent TeeDee Green numbers who are not as nightmarish on the greens. That's kind of my hangup with Grillo. What's your thoughts on that range? Are you okay with it or no? Love it. I had multiple golfers right at 9,000 sort of pop up for me and I'll name them because it's like kind of hard. So Charlie Hoffman at 92, I like. Grillo at 91, I like. Ian Poulter, Brandon Todd at 9,000. I like Harold Varner, 8,800, I like. He listed three of my six player picks within the past half, half a second, half a minute. So yeah, it's a very, very good range. And not only that, we also have some golfers in the 7,000 range who are a little bit appealing. So it's really, Basically? Or someone else? Ches, Ryan Moore. Oh yeah. Ches is 76, Ryan Moore is at 78. You can kind of do a lot of stuff with if you're willing to go Ches plus, or even say Grillo or Varner, that opens up a ton. So you want to talk about being able to play A-Bancer because you really think he's like going to win or you think he's like a lock for a top 10. Cause you know, if he's 35, 40% rostered and he finishes eighth, that doesn't mean that those lineups are dead at all. Right. That's not what we're saying. We're talking about sheer win equity versus the popularity numbers, but you can differentiate and still play A-Bancer like you said. Yeah. We'll talk about ways to do so again. The bookmaking section, I think that going back to Grillo, I just like a couple of guys more. And one of them might actually, I guess, I don't know, we'll talk about Carlos Ortiz first because we are legally obligated to talk about every person from Mexico on this podcast as they are. Alcoma León, we talked about A-Bancer earlier. Carlos Ortiz from Guadalajara, homecoming narrative is fully on his side here. And he's played well here in the past. It's not like, you know, oh, we have to talk about these guys because they're in there at their home country. There's actually a legit reason to talk about them here. Ortiz first played Alcoma León back in 2014. He finished ninth in that one. More recently, Ortiz was runner up in 2019, finished eighth last year. And some of that is likely due to putting because his peripheral numbers like the Greens and regulation numbers are not going to blow you away. And that is concerning because Ortiz is not the world's best putter. He's $8,900. He can have fairways. He's a good approach player. Are you checking out Carlos Ortiz this weekend? I was, let me take a closer look here. Maybe if I spell it right. So yeah, I mean, he kind of pops but there are still enough question marks. He's not hyper accurate. We know that, like we know the putter is just kind of fine. Like you put him up against those guys I just named right in the 9,000 range. I don't know if he stands out and he really doesn't enough to me because in my helper on Number Fire, I have like five or six names in this tier and Ortiz isn't one of them. So it's less to do with the fact that I would talk you out of playing him and just more that I can talk myself into others more easily. Yeah, I would say HV3, I like more. Adam Schenke is not bad. He's 86, a little lower. Yeah, don't mind him. Polter, I like. Not my guy, but I like him. The Strel Boy, I think I like more than Carlos Ortiz, Scott Stallings. Good vibes last week, Hoffman. So like with a lot of guys, I'd rank above him. So I think he's fine, but it's kind of like real lower. I think I like those guys more. It's just kind of one of those fields where it's, there aren't a whole lot of plays you look at and you're like, no, this is the guy. Like the, or these two are the guys by far. It's more, yeah, I like these five or six names in this tier. And as much as the answer is like the guy, he's not so far out ahead of like a Victor Hovland or even like a Scotty Schaeffler for me, that I'm like, yeah, I'm not like, I have to play A-Bancer no matter what. So this is probably a week where it's gonna feel a little bit underwhelming with my overall analysis because it's gonna be, figure out who is going to be popular and just play the guys around them because you can do that at literally every salary tier. Including that value range. So let's move now to the current form section. Talk about some guys in the 10,000 range who could be of interest this week. One of them is Sergio Garcia, $10,000 for Garcia. Obviously we know the T degree numbers are gonna be amazing at all times. Question mark is at the putter but he's overcome that quite a bit recently. So what do you see with Garcia here at 10,000? Yeah, I like Sergio. I'm getting better with playing him. It seems like these Ryder Cup guys from the European team have just played better since the Ryder Cup. I don't know how long that'll last. Is it like a cuff loss narrative? What are we going with here? I think it's a, hey man, these guys love golf and they wanna win in two years. And I think they're gonna- That's a really long name for a narrative. I don't like it. I'm ejecting one. And I think that they're gonna be dedicated every single day for the next two years to get better narrative. The really long narrative and I just, I hate it. But, hey, I mean, look, we get Garcia if we could bet on, and I hope we someday get this, bet on who leads the field in strokes game T-degree. And of course we need shot link at this week, but like, he'd be a good bet any single week. Doesn't matter what the field is to lead the field T-degree. He has seventh in strokes game total over the past 20 rounds, according to Data Golf's true strokes game query, second off the tee in that sample, not necessarily accurate, but we know that if he can just kind of drive the ball well, he's gonna have the irons and that he can get close to the cup on any wedge or iron shot, but it makes it remains to be seen, but it's been a little bit better. He finished 25th the CJ cup, missed the cut at the Sanderson Farms when his putter was really bad, which is still within the range of outcomes for Garcia, but the salary of 10,000 is like, it almost kind of accounts for the fact that he could just erupt in a negative sense and doesn't quite account for how he can erupt in a positive sense, which is definitely to have win upside in a field like this. I'm his 14th at the Torre Championship, sixth at the BMW Championship back in August, September. This like is kind of the time of year where you're like, what's recent form for me? And we're gonna go through that again in January and February, but it's not hyper recent, but we know long-term surge is just like really good for this salary, for this field. So I like him. We haven't talked yet specifically about like the upper nines and low tens. I know we talked about Billy Horschel, but what are your thoughts on Garcia and how he fits with this range? Why don't we talk Taylor Gooch first? Can we talk about that range? Yeah, let's do that. That's even better, man. That's great. Okay, great transition. Also great transition, but as I enter my Alicia Keys voice to say that this Gooch is on fire because Taylor Gooch is going nuts recently. The past three events for Taylor Gooch since the start of swing season have been finishes of fourth, 11th and fifth. And that's not because he's putting well. He has actually not gained more than two strokes in any event, any of those three events. He actually lost when he had the Shriners still finished top 11 and all three. That's really good. The approach has been the big key here for Gooch. That's always reassuring. The one area he hasn't really excelled is off the tee. Though I'm not sure if that'll correct as accuracy is not like the big thing for Gooch. So that's maybe one downside, but I still think he's very interested in this week. I'd prefer more of a horse we talked about earlier. He's in the same range. If we're looking at Gooch relative to Garcia, pretty tough discussion. And the other thing is if we're talking Gooch, like how much rope can I get here to like stretch this tier? Because Aaron Wise I think is really fun. He's 10-six, but a $600 gap is a lot between Garcia and Wise. $300 between Gooch and Wise is still a decent amount, but like I think Gooch is in play in this range, despite there being guys around him, I like a lot, how do you do Gooch and Garcia and this range in general? Love to go Gooch. He is, it's tough because for us, we kind of consider the upper range like 10,000 and above. So it's hard for someone in the low 10,000s to be like a standout play relative to the superstars whenever we have them. But he was in the conversation for that. So he's just another to consider for me. But if I looked at like 10-five and below, he would probably stand out, I want to say maybe the most among this tier. Sounds like we're both in on Aaron Wise, both in on Gooch. There's a case for Horschel. There's always still a case for Camtringali. I like Sergio Garcia. So really good range. I'm getting conflicted though because we have three, four or five names in this tier with viability. And we also have like six names right around 9,000. So you could play golfers just in these two tiers or you can play like the $7,000 guys and get back up to two of the studs. So it's a tough one for me for this week. So is Gooch your number one in this tier? Okay, are we counting wise or no? We can. I would put wise above him. And then I'd probably go Gooch and then Sergio. And then Tringali after that. Tringali versus Sergio is pretty close to me though. I would, yeah, I have Gooch and Wise basically the same. I just have Gooch a little bit higher due to the salary. So I won't take that because that just means that Taylor Gooch will have fewer fandal points than Aaron Wise if I do. We got a cursive. Because I, I mean, I did get one last week, but Do we have two? We had just one. Yeah, we had Danny McCarthy and Russell Knox, which you won. And then we had Patrick Reed and Mito, which I won because Patrick Reed almost won. Whoops. And Patrick Reed wore some short pants too. Oh, interesting. Okay, strange choice. They were in a rain forest this week. So I wonder if he'll double down, kind of dig it. Yeah, I think that this range is pretty good though. So what's your initial thought on like, let's say you're building even 10 tournament lineups. Yeah. Are you going to stick to one of the, like a balanced for, or stars and scrubs, or are you going to mix and match, which then gets you like all over the place over 10 lines? Very obvious route. Other route. So if we have 40%, let's say, I don't know, 20% use both. So 20% or 40% is something I don't want to do math. That's a smaller number. I think that the way that I want to cut down the answer popularity is by pairing them with Hovland and competing against the lineups that have both. And then I can pepper that 9,000 range we like a lot, so get back up to Gutsch if I want, or get back up to Sergio, et cetera, et cetera, and feel good about the lineups. That's my initial build right now, is Hovland answer pepper that 9,000 range and get back up to the 10,000 for the third guy. I think that works really well. I've got one in front of me that I like a lot. I think it works. What about you? Yeah. So answer and Hovland specifically make up like an abnormal amount of win equity. JT doesn't really rate out that well for me this week. He's like 3%. I have Hovland about five and a half and answered about 7%. So it's a pretty big jump. So my instinct for a single entry or I'll say for a cash game at least is still to try to get Hovland and answer together. For a single entry, I still think I need to avoid answer. If it's multi entry, I could probably try to be at about 50% answer but make sure that I'm getting extra weird. But I think with golf, it's probably even better just to look at like and you don't have to actually do this. Like you don't have to run your own sort of like popularity projections or anything, but it's enough if you have like one golfer who's like 5%, you don't have to roster every golfer under 10%. And you don't have to like, you can look at a sort of a multiplier situation as opposed to your total draft percentage. So aggregate roster, right? Or yeah, the multiple is you phrase it correctly. Yeah, so like you can have a chalky lineup and then have one really low like unpopular pivot. And like that is something I wouldn't have done. I wouldn't have thought that was different enough but I think that that works in a week like this. Yeah, I think so too, especially because like those two guys are really fun and I just don't want to get there. So this is me just coping and justifying that for sure. Now I talked about having a lot of guys in the 9,000 range. One of those guys right now is here with one of the third. You're talking about him in the current form section. Why? Because he's been good. Any other questions? Elaborate. It's not a questions command. He has like enough, I think course form where we really could have jammed a minute if we were lacking because he's got two top 25s and four made cuts and five starts, but we have enough guys who have form here that we talked about some other guys but the recent form is even better anyway. He's actually third in the field in true strokes game over the past 20 rounds according to DataGolf. He has no worse than 13 than any of the strokes game stats outside of off the tee where he's still 55th, which is fine. Varner's recent finishes are 32nd at the CJ cup, 11th at the Sanderson Farms and 16th at the Fortinet. The putting is trending up. That can be a sign of like, hey, this is regression is gonna come because we know Harold Varner historically is not a good putter, but it seems like it's trending up a little bit more long-term. And so if I'm gonna still get good tee degree numbers in the chance that he's become a better putter, that has a lot of appeal, especially at a course where he's made four or five cuts and at a salary of 8,800, like you can't really hate on a made cut with top 25 upside. So I like Varner a good bit. Sounds like you're in on two more cuts overall on him. Yeah, so talking about the putting, you were talking about how it's been getting better long-term. So I have the past 100 rounds here based on the data at Fantasy National across all surfaces. And in that metric, he ranks 47th in this field. That may not sound great, but when you have the good tee green play that he has, 47th can do a lot from a baseline of whatever he was previously. So I think that that bodes well for Varner. I think that he is one of the guys who stands out in this tier that I like a lot. So very much in on Harold Varner the third for this week. Let's talk with Russell Henley. Henley, the past two weeks has lost 6.4 strokes of putting, despite those, he has still finished 21st and 25th. One was in a no-cut event, so keep that in mind. But that means the ball striking for Henley is nuts right now and it is. He's gained at least five on approach in three of the past four measured events and five of the past eight. This is a non-distance course. That's good for Henley. He ranks ninth and good drives gained, second in approach. The problem with Henley is that unlike Varner, his putting is not trending up. It's getting bad and it's not fluky. He can definitely struggle there. But he's also not as hideous as some other guys we tend to play who are good ball strikers. So I mentioned to Henley in this tier because of the ball striking and hoping that the putting stabilizes a bit. Issue I'm running into is we just listed off like, you know, a lot of guys who do similar stuff to Henley whose salaries are about $600 lower. That's the hang up I have with Henley right now is if I wanna get a good ball striker, bad putter, I can spend less from a salary perspective to get them. So what are your thoughts on Henley relative to the guys in the tier below him? Love Henley. He's one of my player picks. I think he's better at doing what we're talking about. I think the salary will probably leave him a little bit overlooked. Because he's in that sort of that like weird, is he, even if you're building a balance line up it can be hard to get there. Should probably be above and below that. I've been wanting to do this for like a year and I finally some, for some reason waited until NBA and NFL overlap. But I included Z scores in my spreadsheet. So it looks like your standard deviations over the field. So you, it's not just percentiles but you can out drive the field by 50 yards and it won't really show you bringing out that much better but shout out to Bryson there I guess. But using that Henley is actually the second best value play for me with a combo of long-term form, whole by whole analysis and like the sort of better method of looking at stats. He's the second best value for me in this field behind only a banter. So I'm not gonna overlook the, or I'm willing to overlook the potting to get access to someone who just has like the absolute potential to pace this field and stroke an approach even though we wouldn't know that he does. But you know, when we came back from the COVID layoff I said Russell Henley, we were basically JT. So I'll just play Russell Henley instead of JT. Play Russell Henley, leave $2,040 on the table. I think that's the way I'm asking you to play things with Bob Hyde. If that's okay with you. I think that that is a trick off. Say, amen. I'll play both that way. I just like, it's like an inside of the lineup train. No, but doesn't, it doesn't work that way. The only way to mini stack and goal, or like the stack and goal basically. It doesn't work that way. You just one or the other you can choose. You can use JT at full salary, leave $2,040 on the table with Henley. No other route for doing this. Let's take a look at the bookmakers saying about this event. Abraham the answer is the favorite. He's 15 to one. Just ahead of Justin Thomas, 16 to one. Victor Halvin is 19 to one. Then there is a big drop down to Tony Fina at 30 to one. Scotty Schaeffler and Aaron Weiser about 32 to one. Then we get to Patrick Reed and Brooks Kepka at 33 to one. Tyrell Hatton and Billy Horschler, 35 to one. Shane Lowry, Matt Fitzpatrick and Will Zala-Torris around at the top group. They are 36, 37 and 38 to one respectively. So answer open at 27 to one. JT was 10 to one. We've seen a massive shift since then. We talked about roster construction. We talked about the way we want to, you know, potentially get in both answer and Halvin, at least for me or something else. My question to you though is, are we too low on JT or are we being appropriate? I don't think we're too low on JT because this is not the sort of best situation for him. Like it just, it's not, it sets up a lot better for other golfers. Now he was 12th here last year. So this is kind of a, this goes back to process-wise, answers the best play, Halvin's the second best play. Game theory-wise for like your tournaments, JT's still a great play. I don't think either of us would say that JT's a bad play for like tournaments. We're just saying that from a, I don't even want to say floor in any DFS sport, specifically not golf, but like floor is lava, baby, don't say it. The low end expectation for answer and Halvin should be considered to be higher than Justin Thomas, which sounds weird because Thomas has such the, you know, so much name value, but that just, that's kind of ignorant to how good a banter has been. And also like we know Halvin's great and he just won here last year. So I don't think either of us are too low. It's just he's not as good of a cash gameplay is the other two. Do you consider Thomas to be a good pivot off those two for tournaments? Absolutely. Yeah. Okay. Single entry, you just got one for the entire slate. Are you considering JT for that one? Yeah, I would play JT over answer and in a single entry, like everyone else has a single entry. Yeah, I would do that. Okay, I think. Yeah, honestly the bigger question, it's good, sorry. No, good. Obviously the bigger question is like, you were rattling off a lot of names that like people know and we're probably getting a lot of people like maybe listening who are playing NFL and they're just kind of in a DFS swing and they're like, Hey, I know and it's not like a patronizing thing, but it's like, Hey, I've seen Scotty Sheffler, I've seen Tony Fiennell, these guys at the Ryder Cup and Patrick Reed, Zalatoris, the, I can't believe he was a runner up at the Masters but like these guys might, there's nothing to say that these guys won't win and we're really fixated right now on answer, Hovlin and Thomas. So I have like no issues pivoting away from answer in a single entry because we have, yes, we have JT but we also have like, I like Scotty Sheffler. I think Patrick Reed is very much in play. So I don't know, do any of these other names scare you for like being kind of, because we can't play them all. So we're gonna have to cross up names. Does it scare you? Not really afraid of Fiennell. That could be stupid, but I'm not really afraid of them. Sheffler, I think I'm less afraid of than you maybe. Not really that afraid of Reed, not super afraid of Hatton. So honestly like, no, not really too bad. No, no, I'm just like looking at it now. I'm like looking through them one by one. Like, I actually do think that like if I'm gonna pivot off answer slash Hovlin, it'll be for JT. And probably still having one of those guys in there. Cause like that's the one way, again, to make it something unique is you take the 40% that have answer and trim it down to the people who have answer plus whoever. Yeah, so yeah. So then it sounds like we're pretty much in agreement where it's answer, Hovlin, JT are the top three in that order, but again, in a single entry format, I'm okay with JT. I don't know if you answered that question. Oh yeah, yeah. Okay. And then- I'm actually honestly like rethinking this really quickly. Sorry to cut you off, I think the best for a single entry might just be going Thomas Hovlin because if our baseline for answer is 40%, where our baseline for Hovlin is 25, 30, we're trimming it down another 10 percentage points. So maybe Hovlin, Thomas really high up there. Maybe that's the way to go for single entry instead. Yeah, I'd be cool with that. It just again, and like it's, golf is particularly hard to talk about because it's like, we're saying, even answer best play, don't play it. Like- Right. Like we never say that with like, with, I was gonna say, Todd Gurley. I don't know why Todd Gurley came to my head. Like what year is it? I miss the days where we just played- What year is it? 2019? That was two years ago. Gosh, things change so fast. Like, but like we wouldn't be saying that with a running back. If they're the best play, they're the best play. In golf, it's different because it's so high variance. Yeah. So answer is again, my, my model's favorite. I haven't 7.2% to win, 36.3% to top 10. Let's just say he's 36.3% rostered. Like that's still less than half the time that he finishes top 10. Right. So it's gonna feel scary if, unless people are like, A-manters a bad play, but if you are convinced by the reasons we like him, I still think that this week specifically, answer is gonna catch a lot of chalk. Right. Exactly. So we talked a lot about movement with answer. Anybody else standing out to you in terms of movement for this week? My guy who Jim hates apparently, Russell Henley, 55 to 42. I don't hate him. How dare you? I love Russell. Harold Varner, 90s. Russell Thomas. Yeah. You said Thomas Hovlin too. And I was like, Thomas Hovlin sounds like Victor's like younger Shire brother who's like, still is like polite and stuff, but probably just is a little bit less outgoing in the... Vic Hovlin is a manager at a hardware store who fires an employee when they're late one day. Yeah. I could see that. Now I'm off track. Harold Varner, 90 to 60. Russell Knox, 80 to 65. Carlos Ortiz, 80 to 70. Kevin Stroman, 100 to 70. Joel Damon, 120 to 80. And Adam Hadwin, 102, 80. And Varner, 90 to 60 sounds like it's a numbers correction on Fandall's part where he was a lot longer than he was in other books. But I think that given the correlation between salaries and odds, I feel like that led to Varner being under-soldered for Fandall. Just kind of further bolstering the fact that he's a little bit lower than you would expect him to be for how good he is. Speaking of which, let's talk about lower salary golfers with good odds. Who stands out to you there? Is Harold Varner the third on that list? He is and he leads among golfers with salaries at or below 9,000. Varner has the best win odds on Fandall's sports book at 60 to one, followed by Russell Knox at 65. Carlos Ortiz, Kevin Stroman, are 70. Brendan Todd, 75. And then a big tier at 80 is Jonathan Vegas, Ian Poulter, Rory Sabatini, Taylor Pendrith, Adam Hadwin, and Joel Damon. We like a lot of those guys. Taylor Pendrith popped last week, obviously, out at Bermuda. He's 80 to one. We've got the honeymoon narrative in his favor. He's currently on his honeymoon with his now wife, Walgolfing, which doesn't sound like the most romantic honeymoon, I guess, like, hey, let's do work. Are you into him given the performance last week or are we okay avoiding him given the wealth of other options at this range? Doesn't really fit what I'm looking for as much as the other guys. We have so many names. And if I can just kind of take an easy fade on someone who just sort of peeked last week, I'm okay doing that. So that's the route I will go with Pendrith, who is, and the reason I don't like him last week because I don't remember if I saw his odds moved or just looking in the salary tier, but like he nukes it. He's not very accurate. So he still did well last week, despite that. But again, not really what I'm looking for this week. I will note that our narrative team works behind the scenes here at Number Fire, big team, 16 or 30 people, wide range. They will be building their own shot length data for this course in order to measure Taylor Pendrith and see what the impact of the honeymoon narrative is. So just to let you know, we have people on it, our team, our deep team. Someone accused me on Twitter of having a team of interns. I've never had interns in my life. I wish I did. I do have interns on the narrative side and they're working on this, 16 to 30 people, exclusively working on narratives to find out what the impact of a honeymoon narrative is. It's such a big team that you have to just, you can only ballpark it. You just can't know. Yeah, I can't. I don't manage them. I just tell them what to do. And like, you know, it got someone else whose own lone job is to manage the narrative team. Yeah, we don't, I don't even talk to the interns. They just send me all the stats. They run all my simulations. Yeah, I've never done work in my life. First time I've seen these words, like, who is Joaquin Neiman? I've never heard of this guy, but sometimes my interns, you were talking about him. So I guess I'll, you know, I'll look it up. But they are on it, just so you know. Somehow the 16 to 30 people missed Chris Conley having a baby or his wife having a baby. Well, the team, get me on there, but I don't know. Well, the team was 31 to 70 before we just had to make some cuts. Because they missed the Chris Conley baby narrative. Yeah, I agree. So step it up interns. Let's go. Again, there are new interns. Please don't take this seriously. We treat our people well. We do a lot of work here. And Ches Revy also, I gloss over him at 90 to one. He's 7,600. So he's probably going to be a little bit popular, but I think he's still a good player. Maybe we'll talk about Ches later on. Before we do that though, quick note on weather for this week. No win this week, thankfully. Last week was a nightmare, so that's good. Rain chances are basically like, it's just a constant threat because they're in a rain horse. It's like, what do you expect? You know, it could rain. It happens. I just wouldn't worry about it too much because it's not a lot of wins. So let's move to our player picks here for the worldwide technology championship at Myacoba, blah, blah, blah. Brandon, who are you targeting in this week over on Fandwin? Abe answer. He's a lot for cash game. What? Abe is the answer. I've never heard that before. Wow. Innovative. My intern's a lot of that one. Answer is the best play, process-based play of the week. He's my model's favorite to win, 7.2%. It's pretty sizable. I was kind of astonished at his odds opening up at 27 to one on Vandal Sportsbook. I was worried that my model just was completely busted, but no, it worked out well, which is good assurance to see best stats, he's first in my stats model, home country, good results here, sets up well, golfing well, is an absolute lock for me in our head-to-head. No question about that. The questions just come in if you're playing like a tournament. Yep, so I think that that answer is my favorite play too. It's very easy. If I were to pitch you on Hovland, as far as why I think that he's a good guy to include as well as being like another way to cut down on the answer, roster eight by using both. Hovland ranked seventh in good drives game, he's fifth in approach, second in birdies are better gained, not as good of a putter as answer, but also not bad there. One here last year, good form. So I would say Hovland is two. Hovland is the answer. No, it doesn't work. Vic is my pick, how about that? Sure. Victor is the victor. That's good. Okay, we'll work on this. But yeah, it's those three for us in that order. Yeah, I think that's the way to go. So who else do you like in this upper range? A name that we, I think maybe you said once, Matt Fitzpatrick. 10,800 had some interesting shirt choices last week. You said they were bad. He had like a Bermuda shirt, let me clarify. So he had a Bermuda shirt that was like dark blue in the background and had like some like palm trees on it, some tasteful palm trees that were light blue. I thought it was a good shirt. I'm not a huge like Hawaiian shirt guy or like for you to shirt, dude, but like it looked good. I thought it was a fine shirt. I thought you were going to clarify because you said that I said it. Like it was, I don't like the shirt. It works for him, but it works for very few people. So I wouldn't wear it. It works for him. That's so can mean that I don't really like the shirt. You're wrong, it's okay. But I'm going to play him as sort of a pivot if I can get there. Fitzpatrick 10,800 finished 30th at Bermuda last week. We don't know how he got there because we didn't have shot link data, but we know that the longterm form is good. We know that he's good on shorter courses that reward accuracy. He's in the 87th percentile and fairways gained relative to this field over the past 50 rounds, according to fantasy national and in the 80th percentile and birdie or better rate gained. I think Fitz works definitely okay with him. My preferred option in this range though is Aaron Wise. We talked about before, but when he birdies and Aaron Wise gets birdies. Even with the bad putting, he ranks fourth in the field and birdies are better gained. That's because Wise is good in both ball striking categories. Wise has put that to good use at this course. He has a 10th in 2018 runner-up last year in his ledger. Last time we saw Wise, he finished fifth in the CJ Cup, gained 4.3 strokes in approach. He was eighth in the Shriners before that and hasn't missed a cut since April. So I think Wise makes a ton of sense to 10-6. I have an issue of getting back up to him if I go with the answer Hovland lineup. I think the other route is going with Hobbler. I mean, if I use Chad, I could. But like, I think the other route is going with just JT and then jumping down to Wise and avoiding both answer in Hovland. I'm okay with that as well, as a build. Yeah, it's a good theory strategy-based build. So that's what golf comes down to. Yup, so let's move down to the mid-range. What you got there? I have, sorry, I thought you were going to ask me about Aaron Wise, so I have my notes up. And I'll send you all my tabs that I have open for some rude. I have Russell Henley. I think he's a great play at 96. I think that if I start like with two of the studs, go down to Ches, I can get back up to Henley and I'm really cool with that. It's a less than driver course, which is always good for someone like Henley. He's in the 98th percentile and adjusted strokes gained over the past year. You know, despite being one of those guys who plays better at courses that just are shorter, 98th percentile and strokes gained approach adjusted for field strength and recency over the past year. You got to love that, hard to beat that. Some guys do, but not many. Very good with hitting fairways. 87th percentile over the past 50 rounds. Has gained 12 and a half strokes from approach over his past eight rounds. When he finished 21st and 25th, despite losing 6.4 strokes, putting in those. So if he putted decently, we'd be looking at someone coming in with like top 15s, top 10s. Not even decently, just like not terrible. Yeah, I think I was guilty of doing what I told myself not to do the beginning of the podcast. Like, hey, don't penalize guys for not super long for not having great birdie numbers. They're going to a non-distance course. I think I kind of did that with Henley before and I'll talk about him. I like him, but I think I like, I should like him more than I was talking before. One guy I do like though in this range is Mito Pereira. We talked about him last week with the him versus Patrick Reed. Now Mito's back in the mid range at $9,800. Ball striking should be very good. He ranks 11th of the field and good drives again in 18th and approach. Those numbers hold up well when you adjust for field strength too if you go to the true strokes game stuff over at Data Golf. The problem for Mito is the putting and that's probably not going to go away. He's 99th in putting the pass on to rounds. He is 47th and birdies are better gained as a result of that. It does help that he's 98th. We're not going to get perfection anywhere but I think that Mito is good enough to be in play this week despite the putting where you got to meet a Pereira at $9,800. So he's one of the best plays in the upper nines but not enough for me to get there. I don't like that range. I would rather bump up to the other guys in the 10K range and bump down to Henley and maybe someone else if I had to, such as a Keegan Bradley. Oh wow. Crazy. Keegan Bradley, 9,600 is his salary. The irons are still really good for him. 97th percentile over the past year. 95th percentile and adjusted T-degree in play over the past year. I kind of have like this weird thing where I'm trying to go after a little bit of the weaker putters like Bradley, Sergio, Grillo, just because it's past palim, hope that maybe that helps in their favor. 15th here in 2016, 30 second last year. I kind of had to pick some golfers in the mid range just because of the nature of how we cover stuff. So I think Bradley is in play though. I think he is too. No interest in walking Neiman at $9,800. I just like you, like Henley and guys like that and Sergio Moore. I have Neiman as a potential win bet. Oh, okay, okay. But as far as like overall fit and like, again, the sort of baseline expectations, I would rather save some salary but I think Neiman still has the juice to the win juice. The win juice, yes, okay. The juice to win. Juice to win, squeezed from his avocados, fresh for his abs, okay. Charlie Hoffman, $9,200. My second mid-salary guy, no way to say some salary here. The good drive numbers are not necessarily stellar. He's not great there, but the rest of the game is very good. Hoffman is 21st in approach, 29th in putting. 9th in birdies are better gain and it's not like he's super erratic from a driving perspective. He's 104th in accuracy, but he's 64th in your drives gains. That could lead to some rough patches but I'm fine with that for $9,200. What are your thoughts here on Charlie Hoffman? I like Hoffman. I've liked Hoffman for a bit now. Probably second to Grillo above 9,000 in the low 9,000 range but definitely very much in play. One of my others to consider for this week. Okay, let's move down to the value range. You're talking about the Streuble like Kevin Streuble at $8,700. What do you see in there? So definitely more the Streal Man than the Streal Boy this week. Kevin Streuble is making cuts but has no top 30 finishes in his past five results which helps keep the salary down. It's whenever the numbers sort of all click and we get high end finishes that we see salaries increase but we're having kind of the good underlying data with the weaker finishes. He's finished 32nd, cut, cut and 20th and fourth here the past sub year. So he's got some course form to go off of. Streuble actually rates out in the 94th percentile in long-term adjusted form relative to this field despite his sub $9,000 salary hits a bunch of fairways. I have been the 94th percentile over the past 50 rounds. He stripes his irons. He's the 88th percentile in my long-term adjusted stroking approach numbers which adjusts for field strength and recency over the past year. What you like to see in Streal Man I think this is a standout play below $9,000. I agree. I like him always. I think Kevin Streuble's great. So I think he's in play. I think that's so looking at my hypothetical lineup that I've been tinkering with here throughout the stream. Guys, I would consider as a way to get up to Abraham Anser plus Victor Hovland. You know, I'm probably gonna need three guys in this range. I think Streuble is very okay to be one of those guys. Whether it be cash game or tournament, I think I'm actually okay with him for either. The guy like potentially more so for cash games but really do like for cash games. Also okay with him for tournaments is Ian Poulter. Again, not my guy. Please don't, let's not do that. But he does have some key things he like. He makes birdies. Poulter is 12th and birdies are better gained in the past 50 rounds. That's likely due to the very good putting but the birdie number should also get a boost on a non-distance course. That's good for Poulter as well. He ranks fifth in the field and true strokes gained in the past six months which surprised me, shocked me I would say. Honestly, how high he is there. He's not gonna win the event because I don't think he has that upside necessarily but I'm very okay with taking a shot at win equity here in order to gain win equity elsewhere while getting some safety here as well. So I like Poulter a lot. I think that there is upside here. What are your thoughts on Ian Poulter this week? I think he does have win equity. Oh. I think that there's enough with his form to say that he's 2.1% likely to win. 2.1% at 90 to one? I'm at 80 to one now but- 80 to one? Yeah, I mean this stuff, my stuff accounts for like recency and that is- Are we betting on Poulter this week? I'm considering it. Much more likely I'd settle for a top 10 but- I hate top 10 bets. Why? They get juiced up so much because I know you're going there because you can't find value in the outright market. It's like, oh, they don't want to bet the outright. So they're gonna pivot to the top 10 market and we're just gonna juice the daylights out of it and I hate it. But I don't, I don't, I don't do that. I still gotta see the value on the top 10 number. Yeah, I know, but I never, I very rarely see it with my NASCAR stuff because they just torch the numbers all to heck and it kills everything. Like I've found value in the top 10 market. I mean, it's like twice a raise maybe where I see something that I actually like there and it's really annoying. I like those two numbers that I find but like it's annoying to have two out of a feel of 40. Yeah, I don't do a lot of matchup bets either. I'm looking at matchup bets for NASCAR but they're usually minus 115. It's pretty annoying but you can usually get some pretty bad ones, which is good. What are you seeing for your other value play this week? It's gonna be chess, 7,600. Leads the field and fairways gained over the past 50 rounds. It's just the course where you play chess. You don't really play them in other courses. So that helps. You have some of the best form at this course anyway. Missed the cut last year but it had been top 26 and four straight years entering including a 14th in 2017 and a fourth in 2016. So basically just someone who can hit fairways and is under salary because of all of the fields he's been playing in. So I'm good with chess this week. Are you using him in tournaments too or exclusively in cash games? I use him in tournaments. Okay, I think that makes sense too. I think that Rivi is like the one guy below 86, wherever Shank is. He's the one guy below Shank I feel really good about for this week. I would be okay with chess as well. My second low salary guy is HV3. Harold Varner the third. He talked about the putting and his form before and those are the key selling points here. It's helped make Varner a pretty steady asset for DFS. He has not finished worse than 32nd in his past six events and he has the five top 16s in that time. Now that's a floor based recommendation. We don't like those. Those are bad. Floor is bad. Don't care about floor but it also shows that he has access to a ceiling because he has gained at least 2.4 strokes in approach in six of the past seven events and seven of the past nine measured events. Varner's $8,800. I feel good about his floor making the cut but more importantly, he has done enough to convince me he has a path to upside. So I think that HV3 a good option here. I think that's Strylman, Polter, HV3. That trio is one route to saving salary or using one of Revy. I think both those routes to giving yourself salary flexibility elsewhere are really good options this week and I'm okay with either personally. Any final thoughts for you in the value tier? I like Ryan Moore as well, 78 and I like Joel Damon at E3. So it's not just Revy. I can go pretty low. I can go lower than the upper eights but I like the upper eights a little bit more but this thing's kind of wide open and like I said before, you can kind of pivot at any salary tier this week. Yeah, I think so as well. So let's finish up here with our win picks for the Worldwide Technology Championship at Mayakoba based on the odds over at Feindl Sportsbook, Brandon what is standing out to you right now? I still kind of have like value on answer. Okay. But I don't really want to go at 15 to one. But I might, I'll go hobbling back to back, 19 to one. Okay, so you've got hobbling at 19 to one. I think that number is pretty enticing as well. I'm gonna pick my second to buy you some time. Sure, go ahead. It's between Brendan and Todd at 75 and Russell Henley at 42 and I'm more likely to go with Russell Henley at 42. Okay. So I'll take Russell Henley at 42 to one. Okay, you may do that. I'm actually like kind of into a guy we didn't discuss because the salary's kind of high but I don't hate Shane Lowry at 36 to one. It's like a win bet. Okay. I don't like him more than like wise but like wise as odds are shorter, wise as 32 whereas Lowry is 36. That's kind of a decent difference to me. So I kind of think that Shane Lowry is not a bad win bet and I kind of want to go there. I'm gonna go with Shane Lowry. I have my 11th this week and just overall like form plus stats so. But no interest for DFS, right? No, I'd prefer other plays. Okay, I agree with that as well. So I'm gonna go with Shane Lowry for one. For the second one, kind of think Scotty Schaeffler's undervalued at 32 to one. It's a pretty long number for a guy that makes that, who makes that many birdies and has good ball striking. So I'm gonna go with Shane Lowry and Scotty Schaeffler. Lowry 36, Schaeffler 32 and you went with Henley and answer, correct? Henley and Hovland. Okay, I did not listen clearly. I was busy trying to find mine. I know, I gotcha. Henley and Hovland, H&H, going for you. Schaeffler and Lowry, going for me. We'll see who comes out on top for this week at El Camaleo. That is all that we have here for today on the Heat Check Fantasy Podcast and Brandon. Any final thoughts for you now that we've discussed this field before we send off the good people to fill out their live-ups? I still feel good. I thought I was gonna have a hard time saying not to play Abancer in tournaments, but I think there are plenty of ways to go. So again, he's locked in for our head-to-head. Yes, but I don't think I'll play him in tournaments and just hope for like a 15th. Yeah, I think that's the key thing. That's the key decision point this week is whether you use answer or not. And if you do use him, how do you find ways to be different? Do you go up to JT for your second option at 12,000 to take him into the fact that he won't be there? Do you leave salary? I mean, like, I don't think leaving salary is able to answer here, but like, you know. So you play answer, you plug him in first. You have 97, 20 left. One way you could do things is play all those dudes in the nine to 10, five range we were talking about or 10, six, and you answers like your loans though. Because if you're playing Abancer, you're basically assuming he's going to win. A lot of that, let's call it the big, like third tier or whatever, those guys can still, they have win equity. So you can build an answer plus extremely balanced lineup and like all six of your golfers, that's probably the best way to differentiate if you ask me. I think that actually does work too. So whether you're doing that or anything else, just like if you're using answer, which is totally fine. You can use answer as a very good golfer. But just ask yourself, how do I make this lineup different from the other 40% of lineups that have Abraham answering them and then go from there? Okay, that is all that we have here for today.
