I don't want to give away too many secrets, as I intend to pummel you guys in the league, but I find that fantasy sports are like stocks: you always have to keep current.

I also went the 4 driver route, but I'll be watching the next Barcelona test carefully to decide my final strategy for Melbourne.

There's nothing stopping anybody from switching from a 4 driver vs. 3 driver lineup in between races. Choose wisely.

Keep going back and forth between 3 and 4. I may go 3 because I don't know if I have the time for managing my team and trading up the values, etc. For some reason I still feel good about Schumie although he has burned me in the past!

^ Today Schumacher said he is happy with the car but does not expect it to challenge for victories early in the season.

At his price, I would not buy.

I think you must have Vettel for the qualifying points.

My bet is that he poles the first 5 races.

Barrichello has a great track record in Australia and is a cheap buy.

Renault has the car - but do they have the drivers?

Sebastian Buemi is my pick for breakout star.

I'm not revealing anything until race day. I'm feeling great about my picks though.

I don't expect him to dominate, by feel good I mean I need to have him on my team because it brings back memories of watching him back in the day. I operate these on emotion, not game theory. It's why every year since the 90's I have duke (c laettner went to a local HS) as my march madness winner, although this year looks good; because I can't separate the emotion of watching two games at the Cameron center.

I am from Vegas. UNLV kicked the crap out of duke in 1990.

But 1991 . . . .

Bobby Hurley, Grant Hill, Christain Laettner. Can't beat that.
They did alright in '92 as well

. One of the best shots in NCAA basketball...

BTW - I can't take emotion out of this darn f1 stuff! I want hamilton and schumie all the way because I love(d) watching them. hmmmmmm

PS: I have seen 2 games in the Cameron center. Such an amazing venue, so intimate. Not to mention it was fun watching JJ Redick warm up closer to the half court line than the 3 point line!

So has everyone finalized their lineups, or still flip-flopping. I keep moving between my heart and then going based off numbers/team performance. Part of the fun is supporting your guys but I also like WINNING!!

Unfortunately, if you go with your heart you will likely be disappointed.

I don't see Lewis Hamilton doing anything for the first 1/3 of the season.

I think every team needs one of either Alonso or Vettel but not both.

Four-man teams will rule the day.
