Shawn Siegele analyzes an Underdog Best Ball Mania 3 entry that breaks all the rules. Can you ignore the advice in the Best Ball Workshop and still build a monster?
Few article series have been as fun to write as the Underdog Dream Teams, and it’s been a great experience to interact RV writers, readers, and listeners on these topics. I’ve been blown away by Conor O’Driscoll and Michael Dubner, and they’ve been joined by a host of others. Our most recent must-read entry came out this weekend with Bjorn Yang-Vaernet’s 4 Roster Hacks to Double Your Finals Win Rate With a 2-RB/2-WR Start.
Today I go in the opposite direction to write about an anti-dream team. What happens if I don’t follow the insights from the Underdog Roster Construction and Advance Rate Explorers? What happens if we flout the conventions outlined by Conor’s Underdog Workshop and Michael’s Best Ball Bible?
This is a serious exercise. I may be breaking all the rules, but I’m still going to try to win the $2 million.
Need to catch up on the lessons? Check out the dream teams, the bibles, the workshops.
