CFL DFS Projections & Lineup Optimizer for DraftKings - 09/04

A big one. The optimizer got a full rebuild, projections became something you can own and swap between, and the Swaptimizer learned to hold exactly the players you tell it to.

• Settings now open as a dialog in the middle of the screen instead of a panel squeezed into the toolbar or the docked column. Everything has room, and the same layout works whether the builder is docked or not.
• Settings are a plain list now, grouped into Player pool and Rules. Anything you've changed from its default is marked, so you can see your own setup at a glance without opening a thing.
• Lineup count has its own block: a slider, a number you can type into, and one-tap buttons for 10, 20, 50, 100 and 150. After a few runs it also estimates how long a build will take, learned from your own optimizes on that slate.
• Exposure limits moved out of Advanced into their own section, so max exposure and per-position caps are somewhere you can find them.
• Save your setup under any name you like and switch between saved setups in a tap — or reset everything back to defaults.

• V4 is now the default engine. You can switch back to Classic from the Engine row at the bottom of the settings dialog.
• Lineups stream in as they're built. The Lineups window opens right away and fills in live, with a running count, instead of waiting for the whole batch.
• Press Stop whenever you like — every lineup built so far is kept.
• Player groups: pick a set of players and require at least, at most, exactly, or between N of them. The player picker filters by position and sorts by projection, value, salary, ownership or team.
• Position stacks: correlate by position rather than by team — “for each P, use at least 2 of 1B/2B/OF from the same team” — including bring-backs off the opposing side.

• The Projections Manager. One dialog for everything to do with projections — which numbers the table shows, importing a file, starting a set from scratch, renaming, deleting. It replaces the old Upload Projections popup and the source picker, which were two doors onto halves of the same job.
• Choose what you're looking at. LineStar, Consensus, your own saved projections, or any set you've imported. Every source is tagged with where its numbers actually live: Synced for My Projections, which is saved to your account and follows you to the LineStar mobile apps; Read-only for LineStar and Consensus; Local only for sets you've made, which live in this browser.
• Bring your own projections. Drop a CSV or a spreadsheet paste straight onto the dialog. Columns are detected for you, and blank cells count as zero instead of erroring out. Keep as many named sets as you like and switch between them in a tap — one for your own model, one for a subscription, one you're testing.
• Name matching that actually matches. “T.J. Hockenson”, “TJ Hockenson”, “Hockenson, T.J.”, “Acuña Jr.” and “K. Walker” all find their player now. Anything it can't place is listed first so you can fix it without scrolling, and a match you make by hand is remembered — next week's file from the same source just works.
• Optimize from a different set than you're reading. The optimizer has its own projection source in the settings dialog, so you can study one set on screen and build from another.
• Edit a projection while a read-only source is showing and it's saved to My Projections rather than dropped, and the table switches so you can see it happen.

• V4 can swaptimize. Pick Classic or V4 at the top of the Swaptimizer dialog. V4 sends each lineup with an explicit lock on every slot, so it can hold exactly the players you want held — Classic can only be told “skip games that have started”.
• Lock games yourself. The single “Late Swaptimize Only” checkbox is now a list of every game on the slate, each with its own lock. Games that have started lock themselves, and you can override either way — freeze a game that hasn't started to keep those players, or unlock one that has if you know what you're doing. We'll warn you when your site will reject the change.
• Importing entries got a rebuild. Drag your entries file onto the dialog instead of hunting for a Choose File button, with clearer instructions and a plain answer when something doesn't match.
• A set per contest. If your entries file covers several contests, you can split them into a set each, named after the contest, and swap and export them separately. It shows you which contests it found before you decide.
• Exporting is smarter. Exporting a selection of imported lineups now offers to write them back into your entries file, the same as exporting the whole set — it used to quietly export as a plain file and lose the link. And when your lineups span several contests you can take one file or one per contest.

• Pitchers and goalies no longer count toward a team's stack number. A lineup with two Dodgers bats and the Dodgers starter now reads as a 2-stack, which is what it actually is.

Lots of great usability and flexibility changes!

• Build your own sort. In the lineups table view, scroll to the far right and use the last column to add any stat from the matchup data — it's totalled across the whole lineup and becomes a sortable column.
• Add as many as you need; your columns are remembered between visits.

• The sport switcher in the quick bar now takes you straight there. Picking a sport loads the same page you were on for that sport, rather than waiting for a second tap.
• If that page doesn't exist for the sport you picked — there's no Dinger Report for the NFL — you land on its Projections page instead.

• The football Touchdown Report card view now shows a recent-game chart for each player, with the stats that matter for their position — targets and catches for receivers, carries for backs.
• On the new-style charts, each stat you pick now carries its own colour through the picker, the line, and the hover panel's box score, so it's obvious which line is which.

• Player rows now start collapsed, with the top row opened as an example. Expand the ones you want, or use the expand-all button in the header as before — your choice is remembered.
• The expand button now clearly shows which rows you've left open.
• The mouse wheel scrolls the player list from anywhere on the page, instead of only when the pointer is over the table itself.

• Fixed saved drafts not appearing in the resume list after starting a new one.
• Fixed being unable to send chat messages — every message was rejected as too short.
• Fixed chat message colours in dark mode, and made the draft manager easier to read.
• Your Adjustments — rookie, injury, playoff and team sliders — are now saved with each draft, so a dynasty setup and a redraft setup no longer overwrite each other.
• While you're editing a projection, the row's action buttons stay put and stand out, so Save and Cancel don't disappear when the mouse moves away.

• Sorting by Consensus or Consensus Diff no longer buries players who have a consensus projection but none of your own — those are the biggest disagreements, and they now sort to the top where they belong.
• Removed the auto sign-in prompt and the New Look tour popup. If you're still on the classic charts you'll occasionally see a small note offering the new ones, which you can dismiss for good — and you can switch back at any time from the chart's settings.

The lineup builder can now dock to either side of the screen, the games bar does a lot more than it used to, and chat remembers where you left off.

• Dock the builder as a column down the left or right edge of the screen — the way it used to sit — or keep it in the toolbar. Your choice is remembered.
• Docked, each roster spot gets a full row showing the player's name, position, salary, projection, and ownership.
• A compact width shrinks the column to just the player avatars when you only need a glance at the roster.
• The optimizer settings sit right in the docked column under your lineup, instead of floating over the table.
• Team stack and include/exclude pickers open wide over the grid, so those tables have room to breathe.
• Collapse the settings list from its title bar when you're running a saved model and just want the Optimize button.

• Tapping a game now opens a menu instead of filtering straight away — filter on the home team, the away team, or both.
• View lineups shows that game's projected or confirmed starting lineups in a popup, without leaving the page.
• The popup marks games that are live, delayed, postponed, or final, with the score and colour matching the games bar.
• Baseball games include the hourly forecast — temperature, rain chance, and wind direction — or an indoors marker for domes.
• Both the filters and the lineup popup work on the props page too.

• General chat now remembers the last message you read and marks it with a New messages divider when you come back, so you can pick up where you left off. Tracked per sport.
• The undocked chat window can be resized from any edge or corner, not just the bottom-right.

• The Consensus column is shown by default again.
• The column manager now labels its buttons, so hiding and highlighting a column is obvious at a glance.
• Removing a player from a roster spot now filters the list to that position, matching what happens when you tap an empty spot.
• Fixed Max players per team keeping a showdown slate's higher limit after switching back to a normal slate.

A big redesign of the projections experience — a fresh, modern look across the grid, dialogs, and toolbars (with full light & dark themes). Here are the highlights:

• Refreshed, modern design throughout the projections page.
• Sport selection now lives in the page menu — pick your sport and your page from one place. The old blue sport bar is gone, giving the data more room.
• Light, dark, and auto themes.

• One streamlined optimizer — the mini optimizer above the projections grid now handles everything, so there's no separate mini and full optimizer to juggle.
• Redesigned settings in the gear flyout, with the optimizer model, team stacks, and stack options all opening in-place with a back button — no more jumping between dialogs.
• Every numeric setting now has both a slider and a type-in box for exact values.
• The Optimize button shows a live progress spinner while building, and your Lineups window opens automatically the moment the lineups are ready.

• Multiple display density modes (normal, compact, and ultra-compact) to fit as much — or as little — on screen as you like.
• Show, hide, reorder, and highlight any columns to build the grid exactly the way you want it.
• Hide or resize the sections inside an expanded player card (chart, alerts, matchup data).
• Build compound filters fast: filter directly on columns and matchup data, then tap Create Compound Filter to save the combination.

• New compact mode (last names only, condensed rows) you can toggle on and off.
• Tap a team or player inside the Lineups window to instantly filter to just the lineups that include them — with the matching rows highlighted.

• Fully modernized Stacks window with stand-out filters and a compact mode (now the default) that condenses each stack to quick chips with hover-for-detail.
• Sort by any stat with the new sort menu, and build, save, and clear your own stat filters.
• The Add Stack, Team, and Opp columns are combined into one Matchup & Stack cell showing total stack salary and projected points, with a cleaner Add button.

• The Position and Player columns now stay frozen on the left as you scroll the table sideways, so you never lose track of whose data you're looking at.
• The matchup data view has been simplified to make what it's showing clearer at a glance.
