The matchup planner
The deepest tool on the site: your week against theirs. It computes your probability of winning the matchup, shows which categories are the live coin-flips, plans your lineup night by night, and ranks streamers by how much they move the odds against this specific opponent.

Plan the week
- Pick the week and opponent
With a league, the opponent defaults to this week's bracket matchup — or pick any team. Greyed-out opponents just haven't had their roster synced ('Sync league' fixes that). No league? Build both rosters manually and everything still works.
- Confirm the Lock mode
Daily = set your lineup every night; Weekly = one locked lineup for the whole week. It's seeded from your league's cadence but free to flip for exploration — flipping clears your pins and changes what renders below.
- Read the win-prob strip
The headline percentage is your chance of winning the week. Below it, a tile per category: your projected total vs theirs, a bar toward whoever's favored, and the win odds. Tiles marked 'swing' are the coin-flips that decide the matchup — that's where your moves should aim.
- Work the day-by-day plan
The engine fills your best legal lineup each night. Disagree? Click any player chip to pin him in or out — pins show a pin icon, can never create an illegal lineup, and the win probability updates with every call.
- Mid-week, feed it the real score
Open the 'Mid-week' panel: 'Pull from Yahoo' (or your platform) fills both sides from the live scoreboard, and 'Plan as of' sets the planning date. Only the remaining games project — categories you've already banked harden toward won. One catch: the scoreboard doesn't carry games played, so add that by hand if your league caps weekly games.
- Find streamers against THIS opponent
Hit 'Find streamers'. Every candidate is slotted into your actual nightly lineups (he only counts on nights he cracks it) and ranked by Δ win probability against this opponent — not by generic value. With a full roster it proposes the best 1-for-1 swap; results clear whenever the week, opponent, or settings change, so re-scan.
Two lineup philosophies
The Lineup toggle is the sharpest lever here. Best players starts your highest-value legal lineup — the right default. Win this matchup re-scores every start by how much one more game from that player moves your P(win) against this opponent — so the lineup chases the live swing categories instead of raw value. Late in a close week, that's the difference.
- Mid-week entries save on your device per league and week — come back tomorrow and just update the totals.
- The Weekly games cap input matters in capped leagues — set it and the plan stops spending starts you don't have.
- Playoff week? The win-prob strip says so next to the headline number — plan accordingly.
