All you have to do is build a team for a full slate of games on Friday, and prizes will be paid out after the games end that evening.
This free contest will be salary-cap style drafting, where everyone attempts to assemble the best team out of the available players. You will have a $35,000 budget to build a nine-player team with one pitcher, one catcher, one first baseman, one second baseman, one third baseman, one shortstop and three outfielders. Each MLB player has been assigned a price based on his expected fantasy performance.
On Friday, fans can monitor their squad throughout the day with FanDuel's live scoring, and the best fantasy general managers will take home $500 in prizes.
As always, it's another great chance to win some money from FanDuel for just one day of fantasy expertise. FanDuel's already had a player who's won, get this, $273,000 playing daily fantasy sports on the site. And you could be next, as FanDuel's paying out $50 million in prize money in 2012. Yep, $50 million.
