This article focuses on how each fighter fits into the slate, for my thoughts on how I see each fight playing out, check out the video below, “The DFS Express: UFC 225”.
Anticipated GPP Exposures
These can change based on how my constructions develop and any late news in the week, including weigh ins. But these numbers are my personal starting points for building tournament lineups, I usually play 20 lineups per week. Obviously, the less lineups you play, the tighter you’re exposures need to be while if you play more lineups, you can expand things (especially your FADE – 20% range) quite a bit.
