📊 Strategy Guide: Building Winning Lineups

Contest Budget Management

Each contest has a salary cap. Players are priced based on recent form and ranking. Top players cost more but deliver consistency, while value picks can provide surprise performances.

Tournament Context

Grand Slams use best-of-5 format (more points available), while most other tournaments are best-of-3. Adjust your strategy accordingly. Early rounds favor favorites, but later rounds can be unpredictable.

Player Archetypes

Serve-Dominant Players: Rack up ace points but need to win matches for high scores.

Baseline Grinders: Consistent point accumulation through games and rallies.

All-Court Players: Balanced scoring with multiple point sources.

Underdogs: High risk, high reward when they pull off upsets.
