Updates for the selected winner market:
After considering the market cap of the selections and seeing that I could not fill some I ended up skipping Ludvig Åberg who'd be a profitable sell after 2 days of play.

Otherwise the selections from the list have looked decent but after tomorrow the card dived a bit (to about -35%). Depending on the risk level this could be a spot to limit the damage but since we are still on testing phase, we will take some risk and sell half of the positions from Suh & Gordon with min. 5/1 odds (if those popup in the market).

For the whole automated strategy (selecting almost all 44%+ players, meaning the players who are over 44% away from their peak form) the results are totally different. It would've yielded 20-40% ROI after rounds and the final round would be a freeroll with Kuchar & Villegas in the card. This new addition will be thoroughly explained when the testing phase continues.

Good luck!
