Lineup Optimizer

Assemble your team from the full player pool, pick your scoring format, and Nova computes the highest-projecting legal starting lineup, then sits the rest. The FLEX decision shows the player who just missed and by how much, so the close calls are yours to override.

What do these terms mean?
Optimal lineup
The starting lineup that maximizes total projected points from your roster.
FLEX
A lineup slot you can fill with a RB, WR, or TE, so your best remaining flex-eligible player starts there.
Proj PPG ★
Nova's projected fantasy points per game.
Superflex
A lineup with a second QB-eligible slot, which makes quarterbacks much more valuable.
★ = Nova’s own model, the secret sauce. The rest are the market reference and raw stats Nova is measured against.
ℹPreseason, every projection is Nova’s season-long per-game number (PPR). Once the season starts this swaps to weekly projections, so the optimal lineup updates each week. Missing value = n/a. Free data only.

Your roster is empty. Search above and add players, then Nova solves the optimal starting lineup and a full start / sit. Your roster is saved in this browser.
