NHL Optimizer

Use our free NHL lineup generator to build optimized DraftKings and Fanduel lineups. This tool takes our top-rated and scientifically proven DFS projections and adds on the ability to lock, filter, and exclude players and teams. Lock in your core players and then hit 'Optimize' to build up to 150 lineups (in premium) in seconds. Our optimizer supports both Classic contests as well as Showdown and Single-Game formats.

All-in-one tool for DFS research

In addition to our projections, the DFF lineup builder also tracks the latest vegas odds, player props, weather updates, player injuries, starting goalies and starting lineups. Our industry leading projections are updated constantly throughout the day, with a lot of activity happening in the final hour before the start of a slate.

Filter and Configure

The power of the DFF lineup generator is in the advanced filtering and configuration options. Configure the optimizer to activate stacking, max player exposure rules, low ownership rules, offense vs defence rules and more. Once you calibrate things exactly how you like, save those settings as a template for instant re-use across other similar slates.

Powerful Player Charting functionality

Our player charts allow you to slice and dice historical data like no other lineup optimizer on the market. Go beyond just filtering home and away, with our chart filters you can see how players perform with team-mates on/off the field, day/night splits, and more, with 20+ filters you can activate.

Save and Export lineups

Once you've built a lineup you like you can save it until you're ready to enter it in a slate. Once you're ready, we make it easy to download and export them in the formats DraftKings and FanDuel require for bulk entry. You can even save your lineups on your computer and pick up where you left off on mobile.
