In every major sport lineups are posted ahead of time. When people are betting on daily fantasy sports they need to know who is playing ahead of time because there are sites like Draftkings that list multiple players for a position (example Haru/Bubbling, junglers for CJ Entus) and without knowing who is playing ahead of time it's impossible to choose who we should have in the starting lineup, thus making it even more of a guessing game. There should be some standard in regards to starting lineups. I'm sure there is a rule in place that they need to be locked in X amount of time before the game so the other team knows who they're playing against and that information should be made public as well so that people can accurately set up lineups accordingly. It seems pretty minor/easy to implement and it will help betting on games tremendously.

Well i had a similar problem when i was doing draftkings. I can help you make your lineups if you would like, but they usually make most of their changes very late at night for lpl lck and lms. na and eu usually really early in the morning like an hr or 2 before the game begins. And sometimes not at all. I used to win draftkings all the time, til they decided to ban it in NYS. When you make your line ups you should be going for the sure-thing. If you want any advice just add me in game and ill help u win.
