Generating Optimal Lineup ...
There Was an Issue
  • The pool of eligible players may be too small.
  • Too many players may be locked in at a position.
  • The locked in players may be expensive enough that a valid lineup is impossible.
  • The applied filters may restrict the player pool too much.
  • The current flex position settings may be too restrictive.
  • Please contact support@rotowire.com if this error is still appearing after making adjustments to the player pool.

    Player Exposure
    Set your minimum and/or maximum desired share of lineups, for each player, when generating multiple lineups at a time.
    This tool can prevent a player from appearing in too many lineups or encourage the optimizer to fit a player into more lineups.
    Individual Players Player Groupings
    Total minimum exposure exceeds 100%. Please consider lowering the minimum exposure for your groups until this message goes away.
    Tips
    • Generate additional lineups if your exposure to a certain group is outside of the min. and max. you entered.
    • Consider increasing the maximum individual exposure, for each player, if group exposure is outside of the min. and max. you entered.

    The total combined minimum exposure exceeds 100%. Get more diverse lineups by lowering the total exposure for this position to below 100%.
    Definitions
    • Min. %: Force a player to be in x% of lineups.
    • Max. %: Prevent a player from being in more than x% of lineups.

    Examples
    • I want Player #1 to be in at least 10% of lineups.
        Set Player #1's minimum exposure to 10%.
    • I want Player #2 and Player #3 to be in at least 5% of lineups but not more than 15% of lineups.
        Set each player's minimum exposure to 5% and their maximum exposure to 15%.
    • I want to prevent Player #4 from being in more than 25% of lineups.
        Set Player #4's maximum exposure to 25%.

    Notes
    Please note that the optimizer may not mathematically be able to follow your exposure settings if you are generating too few lineups. Simply generate more lineups if you want to get closer to your desired min and max exposure settings.
