Hello. I'm in a 12 team roto league.

Skaters: G, A, +/-, PPP, SHP, SOG, PIM, FW, Hits, Blocks
Goalies: W, SV%, GAA, SVs

I have been in 5-7 place the entire year, but I have always thought my team should warrant a better finish. Yesterday, I jumped up to 3rd place (briefly 2nd place), at 107 points, with a 3 point lead on 4th place. Top 3 finish with money.

I need to set my lines for Saturday. Here's my current lineup:
C:Getzlaf, Stamkos
LW: Laich, Cole
RW: Clarkson, Simmonds
D: Letang, Girardi, Hamhuis, Gorges
Util: Giroux (C/RW)
BN: Purcell (RW), Deharnais (C)

I have 423 assists on the season. The person below me has 420, and above me there is 424, and 426. I'm trailing the next person in PIMs by only 3, and the person below me is nowhere near. I have 201 PPP, but there are two teams with 200. I'm also +22, with the closest teams beneath me at +14, +17, but also +26 and +28 above me.

I need to put the BEST players in my lineup that will get me assists and PPP, +/-, and PIM would be a nice bonus. My logic tells me to sub in Deharnais for utility, move Giroux to RW, and bench Simmonds, but my gut says that Simmonds it's going to have a great game, WITH PIMs, against PIT. Then, I'm wondering if Purcell will have a good game against WPG, helping Stammer get his 60th (or maybe even more?).

WHO SHOULD I PLAY?!? A podium this year would be 3 consecutive years, garnering me unprecedented bragging rights!

Thanks!

I'd forget about the PIM... it's just one category, with just one person to catch.
If there is a scuffle in the PIT/PHI game... Letang will probably be involved and get you some PIM anyways.

You've got 3 concerns with A.
You've got 2 concerns with PPP.

RW: Giroux, Purcell
Util: Desharnais
BENCH: Clarkson, Simmonds

yup , go after the scoring categories. good luck.
