    FCW's Week 1 Fantasy Outlook (11/4-11/6)

    By the time you read this, three D1 teams will have competed to kick off the 2023 Wrestling season. That means setting a lineup to win the week.

    A reminder of some important rules:

  • Wrestlers entered at a weight must compete at that weight or else their results will not be counted. Wrestlers in the "Floater" spots can compete at ANY weight and accumulate Fantasy points.
  • A wrestler will LOCK on your roster at 12pm ET on the day of their first competition for the week.
  • Only results against D1 competition (starters, backups, and redshirts) will count towards Fantasy Points.
  • Check your league settings to know how many add/drops are permitted per week.


    On to Week 1:

    65 of the 80 D1 schools will be competing in Weeks 1, and 13 of last season's Top-20 NCAA Teams are in action. The "Meat & Potatoes" of competition starts on Friday with three D1 v D1 duals at 7pm ET.

    The usual staples in Week 1 Opens return with the Michigan State Open & Southeast Open on Saturday and the Clarion Open & Princeton Open on Sunday. Some other Opens to keep an eye on are the Maryville Open, East Stroudsburg Open, and Menlo Open (as well as the Patriot Open, East Stroudsburg Open, and Colorado Mines Open), but there will be limited D1 competition, so Fantasy Points may be hard to come by so set your expectations accordingly. And more importantly, set your lineups accordingly.


    How to Use This Article:

    Going through each matchup of each dual and breaking down entries to weekly tournaments, we list our picks for best matchups and plays for your #FCW lineup to win the week. Be sure to listen to the #FCWpodcast for a more detailed breakdown (listen to 2023 Week 1 HERE).

    Tournament entries continue to update the closer to registration cut-off/day of the event, and we don't want to make an "ass out of u and me" with teams and entries, so be sure to check back and turn those notifications "ON" for our updates and news.
