One of the challenges that DFS players face is downswings, which are periods of time where you may experience a losing streak. For casual players who are just playing for fun on Draftstars, downswings aren’t really a consideration, but for those looking to advance your game to become more serious and profitable players, dealing with downswings is a crucial element to your success.

Even the best DFS players will experience a downswing at some point. In this article, we’ll discuss downswings in DFS and provide tips to help you turn your form around.

What is a Downswing?

A downswing is a term used to describe a period of time when a DFS player is experiencing a losing streak. Downswings can often be out of your control which can be frustrating and can impact your confidence and morale. The length and severity of a downswing can vary, and it can be caused by a variety of factors, including bad luck, poor lineup selection, or changes in the game.

How to Deal with Downswings in DFS?

Dealing with downswings is a critical part of becoming a successful DFS player. Here are some tips to help you deal with downswings and turn your form around.

  1. Take a break

Taking a break from DFS can be beneficial if you are experiencing a downswing. It can help you clear your head and reset your mindset. Stepping away from DFS for a few days or even a week can help you regain your focus and approach the game with a fresh perspective.

  1. Review your game

Reviewing your DFS game is essential if you want to turn your form around. Spend more time researching past slates, looking at your own selections as well as the strategies of other DFS players to identify areas where you can improve. Use your past performance to guide your future decisions and identify any bad habits or patterns that you need to break.

  1. Practice proper bankroll management

Bankroll management is critical in DFS, and it is essential to manage your funds properly to survive downswings. Make sure you are playing within your bankroll limits and not risking too much of your bankroll in one contest. Good bankroll management can help you survive downswings and prevent you from ever going broke. Sometimes moving down in limits, and still playing multiple lineups, is a better way to work through a downswing than reducing the number of entries at a higher buy-in level.

  1. Try different strategies

If you are experiencing a downswing, it may be time to try different strategies. Experiment with different lineups, contest types, or even sports. Trying something new can help you break out of your rut and give you a fresh perspective on the game.

  1. Join our DFS community

There’s plenty of help available within the Australian DFS community. If you’re experiencing a downswing, why not post something on the DFR Twitter page and seek answers from your peers in the industry. There are plenty of guys willing to help you improve. Sharing strategies and getting feedback to improve your game is a great tool for overcoming downswings.

Downswings are an inevitable part of playing DFS, but they do not have to be the end of your DFS journey. By employing the tips outlined above, you can turn your form around and get back to your winning ways. Remember to stay patient, stay focused, and stay positive, and success will come!
