How it works

Three steps. Every time.

Most lineup tools make you find projections, upload them, write rules, build groups and set exposures before you see a single lineup, and they assume you already know what all of that means. Here is the actual process, on DraftKings.

The three steps, on real screens

Step 1 on DraftKings

Enter your contests, download your entries file

Enter the contests you want the way you always do. Then pick the sport and the style on DraftKings and hit Download. That one file tells the Generator which contests you are in.

The DraftKings Download Template card, with Pick a Sport set to NFL and Pick a Style set to Classic.
Step 2 on The SimFather

Drop the file in, hit Generate

Drop in the file and hit generate. The SimFather runs the slate through millions of simulated outcomes and fills every entry in your file with its own stacked lineup.

The SimFather Generator after a build: 150 lineups ready, a Download the DraftKings file button, and three lineups showing each roster slot with its total salary against the cap.
Step 3 on DraftKings

Upload it back. You are entered.

Download the finished file and upload it on the same DraftKings page. Every entry fills at once, it passes their checks the first time, and you are done before kickoff. Same three steps on FanDuel.
