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 THE NORTHERN TRUST 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 NORTHERN TRUST before using these core plays.  You can also take a look at my Weekly Tournament Projections at any time.

The BMW Championship is a no cut event with just 70 players in the field.  That means our strategy changes when putting together lineups. You can be more risky and put together those wild stars and scrub lineups because you know you’ll get all six of your golfers all four rounds.  I know I’ve given you 15 players in my playbook but you may want to throw in one or two players not in my playbook to mix things up especially with a limited selection of players.  .   

I have a feeling that this weekend’s event will be a shootout, it won’t be like last year’s BMW Championship at Olympia Fields where it felt like U.S. Open type conditions.  I think the winner will come in at around 16-18 under par when all is said and done.  You need to load your lineups up with high upside players because they will need to shoot 68 or better every round to have a chance at winning the whole thing.

If you read my playbook, you saw that I’d like to start my lineups with Brooks Koepka (not every lineup) and pair him with either Patrick Cantlay or Scottie Scheffler.  That gives me a lot of flexibility and I’ll likely not have to go too far in the 6K range.  I’ll probably go to a combination of Corey Conners, Sungjae Im, and Russel Henley after those guys.  Then round things out with Brian Harman and either Keith Mitchell or Sebastian Munoz (who didn’t make the playbook but I kinda like this weekend too).  That’s a nice balanced lineup with a lot of wiggle room to change things up.

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!
