Restrict Players from Same Team

[chrisbach1]

Hi all,

I have been having an issue trying to get the optimizer to not put 2 positions from the same team in a lineup. I have tried this:

optimizer.restrict_positions_for_same_team(('PG', 'PG'))

Does it not work because a player can be multiple positions technically? Jordan Poole can be a PG/SG. Is there anyway for it to work?

[chrisbach1]

Anything will help. I have been trying to solve this issue for a few days and I'm starting to pull my hair out.

this is what I am trying to do:

optimizer.restrict_positions_for_same_team(('PG', 'PG')) optimizer.restrict_positions_for_same_team(('PF', 'PF')) optimizer.restrict_positions_for_same_team(('SG', 'SG'))

But once I add another position, it ignores the previous

If trying this on DraftKings you will probably have to include the alternate positions as well such as optimizer.restrict_positions_for_same_team(('PG', 'PG', 'PG/SG')) optimizer.restrict_positions_for_same_team(('PF', 'PF', 'PF/C')) and so forth but someone who has more knowledge than me could possibly explain it better

Thanks for your reply @Milkman9691

Unfortunately I have tried that before and it did not work. I mainly use Fanduel. That code generates an error. PG/SG does not work as a position name. It has to be ('PG', 'PG) and you cannot have 3 values in parenthesis

I would just restrict by name myself but if you are looking for an advantage though you need to build yourself a spreadsheet that you can reference players Floors & Ceilings along with that days salary value being I think I have attempted every positional strategy known to DFS and did not have much success doing so

    optimizer.restrict_positions_for_same_team(('PG', 'PG'),('SG',

'SG'))

Check to see if this works for you

That works if I only use that restriction. But if my code looks like this, it cancels out the PG SG restriction.

optimizer.restrict_positions_for_same_team(('PG', 'PG'),('SG','SG')) optimizer.restrict_positions_for_same_team(('SF', 'SF'),('PF','PF'))

@Denwen12

optimizer.restrict_positions_for_same_team(('PG', 'PG'),('SG','SG'),('SF', 'SF'),('PF','PF'))

This worked

Your welcome, you could probably use a loop to make it work also
