How to choose

A lineup optimizer takes player projections and a site's salary cap and solves for the highest-projected lineups that fit. Serious players use them to build and diversify many lineups for large tournaments, apply stacking and exposure rules, and export straight to DraftKings or FanDuel.

What separates good lineup optimizers from the rest:

  • Which sites and sports it supports, including showdown and single-game formats
  • Stacking, grouping and exposure rules, not just a single best lineup
  • Whether projections are included or you must bring your own
  • Late swap and bulk CSV export for multi-entry
