Don't just play the field.
Create the edge.
Simulator-based DFS. Built for large field tournaments.
Six ways ETC builds your edge.
Every tool in the simulator points at the same question: which lineups actually finish on top? Here's how.
Lineups ranked by Top-5% finish rate, not raw projection.
Every lineup is scored against 50,000 simulated contest fields across DraftKings and FanDuel slates. The number that matters isn't projected points. It's how often the lineup finishes in the top 5% of the field. That's the only metric correlated with tournament finishes.
- Sortable by Top-5%, Sim Score, or Ceiling. Pick your tournament size and let the data filter.
- Direct export to DraftKings or FanDuel bulk-upload format.
Slate analysis. Strategy notes, written for every slate.
The Chalkboard reads the slate's DNA. Which stacks have the highest ceiling, which captains have leverage, where the field will be heavy. Plain-language strategy notes, not a wall of percentages.
- Volatility tags and chalk score. Slate temperament at a glance.
- Best stack target, top value, top leverage. The day's three core decisions.
- Per-game breakdowns with key players and stacking guidance.
See your exposure against the field.
Compare your lineups' player-by-player exposure to projected field ownership. The Chalkboard shows what's overweight, what's underweight, and how far you are from the field on each player. Sort, filter, and adjust as you build your portfolio.
- Overweight, Underweight, High Exposure tallies at a glance.
- Diff vs field own% on every player with directional signals.
- Search and filter by exposure tier.
Hand-build, slot by slot.
Drop the players you want into any slot, then fill the remaining positions to complete the lineup. Salary and slot counts update as you build. Hand-built lineups save to their own pool, separate from your simulated lineups.
- Click-to-fill from the player pool, drop into any slot.
- Salary, slot, and stack tracking visible while you build.
- Single-lineup completion. Fill remaining slots with one click.
Your board. Your numbers.
Every player in one view - projection, ownership, value, and points per game. Trust the ETC numbers or override any projection and ownership with your own read, then lock, exclude, boost, or fade to shape exactly how the simulator builds.
- ETC projections and ownership, or override with your own.
- Lock, exclude, boost, or fade any player.
- Per-player exposure floors and caps.
Your entries, all in one place.
Collect simulated and hand-built lineups into portfolios and see the whole set at a glance - exposure, stack distribution, and salary spread across every entry you plan to submit. Build with cash and GPP templates, or curate by hand.
- Save lineups into named portfolios.
- Exposure and stack distribution across the full set.
- Cash and GPP templates to build in one click.
A different category of tool.
Optimizers solve the projection puzzle. They take projections, slot constraints, salary cap, and exposure rules, then hand you a lineup that maximizes projected points within those bounds.
Simulators answer a different question: how does this lineup actually perform across a realistic field? Projected points are an input. Top-5% finish rate is the output.
