An Important Benchmark DFS GPP Players Should Strive To Hit

Hitting this benchmark leads to massive profitability over the long haul.

The end result you desire as a DFS tournament player is finishing first in the tournament you enter. But the nature of GPP life means that you are losing often. You need to set benchmarks to know that you’re headed in the right direction.

The best benchmark is analyzing what percentage of your lineups are finishing in the top 1% of tournaments — this lets you know if you’re making good tournament lineups.

Why the top 1% of tournaments? Because actually winning a tournament is inherently luck-based. You need things to break your way to make it to the top spot in a tournament. Your best shot at winning is giving yourself as many opportunities for variance to swing your way.

Analyzing your 1% finishes will equip you with the important feedback of whether your lineups are expected to make or lose money over time.

If you find that you aren’t placing 1% of your lineups in the top 1%, reassess your process and lineups on a deeper level.

If over 1% of your lineups are finishing in the top 1%, stay the course and continue positioning yourself for variance to break your way for a big payday.
