GamePlan guide · NFL Classic

From slate to your own CSV.

Set your rules, inspect the lineups, then upload to DraftKings yourself.

Open GamePlan

A Free account is needed to build. Create an account or sign in. Player Research is open without an account or slate.

1. Choose your slate

   In GamePlan, choose the available NFL Classic slate that matches your DraftKings contest. Check its date and games. The slate supplies the salaries and eligible players.

   My slate is missing

   Use Check slate updates to check again, choose another available slate, or use Upload salary CSV with the current DraftKings salary file. A personal upload stays in your workspace. Check the file review before continuing.

   Projections prepare for the selected slate. If preparation fails, use the displayed Retry projections action; your existing rules stay in place.

2. Choose Cash or GPP, then set your rules

   Select Cash Games or GPP (Tournaments). Review any proposed settings before confirming a change. Custom rules can override the selected profile; the workspace labels those changes.

   Use the player pool to lock or exclude players. Set your lineup count and open Build rules for available constraints. View changes table columns; Projection tools contains projection tools. These controls serve different jobs.

   Settings apply to your next build. Wait for a pending save to finish before generating. Research filters never change a slate’s locks, bans or exposures.

   Which controls require Builder?

   Use the controls enabled for your account. A restricted control explains the required access. Free & Builder lists the available tools and purchase status; existing Builder grants continue to work.

3. Generate when the build is ready

   Read the readiness message beside Generate. Resolve any conflicts, then generate the displayed number of lineups. Progress and errors appear in GamePlan.

   A rule prevents the build

   Follow the message to the affected rule. Check locks against roster slots and salary, minimum exposures against your lineup count, and stacks against the included games. Change only the rule you intend to relax and try again.

   The request timed out

   If Check pending build or Retry pending build appears, use that recovery action to confirm the existing request. Avoid starting another build while its status is unresolved.

4. Review and save in GamePlan

   Lineups appear below the working area in GamePlan. Review salaries, player exposure and the recorded rules. Open a player for detail. For NFL Classic, Game correlations shows the actual pairings in the result.

   Save a build when you want to return to it. Open Saved builds in GamePlan to reopen saved work; clone and compare are available where your account allows them. Generated results retain their original player values and settings when you edit the next build.

   Projections are estimates. Player Research shows historical statistics with dates and sample sizes; those averages are not forecasts.

5. Export, then upload yourself

   Use the DraftKings lineup CSV export from the result. Check the slate, lineup count and every lineup, then upload the file to DraftKings yourself. An analytics export, when offered, is a different file.

   GameNosis never submits entries, pays entry fees or changes a contest entry. Editing or saving a build does not update a file already uploaded to DraftKings.
