In Contest Simulator, “Top 1%” indicates the percentage of times a specific lineup finished within the top 1% of all lineups across the simulations. This metric is particularly valuable for identifying lineups with the potential to achieve elite performance.
How It Works:
• Top 1% Percentage: This value shows how often a lineup ranks among the top 1% in the simulations. A higher percentage suggests that the lineup has a strong chance of being one of the best in a large contest.
Important Note:
• The “Top 1%” metric is only applicable when the “Contest Size” field is set to 1,000 or greater. This ensures that the lineup’s performance is assessed within a sufficiently large pool of competitors, making the Top 1% designation meaningful.
Using the Top 1% metric helps you identify lineups that have the potential to excel in large contests, giving you a strategic advantage in high-stakes DFS scenarios.
