This type of contest encourages risk-takers to <strong>construct <em>unique<\/em> rosters<\/strong> to stand out from the competition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when it comes to taking risks, there are no better contests for GPPs than showdowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The unpredictability of showdown contests<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Showdowns are <strong>inherently unpredictable<\/strong> because the outcome depends on the performance of a small handful of players. This <em>unpredictability<\/em> is what makes them so appealing to some players.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To succeed, you must develop a <em>deep<\/em> understanding of the NFL match-up to identify players with the <em>greatest<\/em> chance to shine.  And once you&#8217;ve narrowed the field to a few promising players, that opens up a world of possibilities for taking <strong>calculated but strategic<\/strong> risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The issue of duplicate lineups in showdowns and GPPs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In GPPs, the goal is to score big while also fielding a unique lineup, ensuring you won&#8217;t have to share some of the grand prize with the other participants should you win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And while the field of possible players is smaller for a single-game showdown slate, the number of GPP entrants is also <em>drastically<\/em> lower than with a contest spanning multiple games.  So, instead of identifying stealth sleepers across the entire league, you only need to find that one diamond in the rough for a <strong>single match-up<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"aside\">Let&#8217;s say the prizes for a tournament are 1st place is $10,000, and 2nd place is $50,000.  If two players tie for 1st place, the 1st and 2nd place prizes will be <strong>combined and then split<\/strong>.  So, both players will win $7,500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose a contrarian captain with low ownership but a high upside.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The best showdown DFS strategy for GPPs is to select an MVP with <strong>low ownership but a high upside<\/strong>. This tactic allows you to differentiate your roster while maintaining a high potential point output. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And with the salary you save by picking a low-ownership captain, you can <strong>upgrade multiple other positions<\/strong>.  Then, if your captain bucks the trend and beats the captain with the highest ownership, that puts you in a great position to ascend the leaderboard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So go against the grain and take some chances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group feature\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p><a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow noindex\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"DFS Army Home Page\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cheatsheetwarroom.com\/blog\/go\/dfs-army-home\" data-shortcode=\"true\">DFS Army<\/a> has a setting called <strong>Projected Ownership Cap<\/strong>.

But doing so frequently leads to lineups that are identical to many other entrants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But to successfully field a promising, distinct squad, you sometimes need to think<strong> outside the box<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leaving some salary on the table (i.e., having unspent salary remaining after you&#8217;ve finalized your roster) in showdown tournaments is an unconventional but reliable way to field a distinct group.  And while this strategy may initially seem counterintuitive, it undoubtedly decreases your chances of having to split the top prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"aside\">Uncommonly owned players have the greatest potential to <strong>disproportionally boost your points<\/strong> and separate you from the middle of the crowd.  This is critical to success, especially in large tournaments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The benefits of leaving salary on the table<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>By not spending your entire budget, you&#8217;ll be forced to identify <em>lower-priced<\/em> players who may have the potential to outperform their value. Others often overlook these players, making it a natural way to <strong>diversify your roster<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preserving some of your salary pool also gives you <strong>flexibility when swapping players<\/strong>. If you have extra money available, you can target more players based on late-breaking news or unexpected developments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This adaptability can be a game-changer for contests with many entrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group feature\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>Draft Dashboard&#8217;s optimizer prominently displays your salary status, making determining how much you have remaining easy.
