Short answer: Exposure is how many of your lineups each player is in. With one lineup it does not matter; with 20 or 150 it is the whole story of your night, because a player in 96 of your 150 entries moves your slate on his own. Tracking exposure live means seeing every player you rostered, how they are scoring, and how many of your lineups ride on them, rather than opening entries one at a time.
Why exposure matters more than any single lineup
Multi-entry players build portfolios: a core of players in most lineups, and a spread of others around them. Once the games start, the useful questions are portfolio questions. Who is carrying me tonight? Who is dragging most of my lineups down? Which touchdown just moved 40 of my entries at once? DraftKings shows each entry separately, which answers none of them.
What to track
- Every player, with their count. Each player you rostered once, with "in 3 of your 5" or "in 96 of your 150" beside their live points.
- Who is carrying you and who is dragging. Points weighted by how many lineups a player is in, so a strong night from a one-off does not hide a quiet night from your core.
- Plays, counted in lineups. When a play happens, how many of your entries it moved, not just what happened.
- Your best and average lineup, and the gap to perfect. The spread across your portfolio, and how far your best entry is from the Dream Team, the best lineup you could have built from the slate.
How LiveSlates handles exposure
On Pro, import your DraftKings entries file and every lineup lands on one board. My Players lists everyone you rostered once, with their count and live points. The Wire shows each play with "in N of your lineups", Bonus Watch shows who is closing on a bonus and in how many lineups, and the board tracks your best and average lineup against the Dream Team. It is built for 150 entries: the same board, as quick to read as one lineup. Free tracks one lineup per slate.

Common questions
How do I get 150 lineups in? Export your entries file from DraftKings and import it on Pro. It is a file you export yourself; LiveSlates never connects to your DraftKings account.
Does it add points up across lineups? No. A total across lineups is a number no lineup scored. It shows each player's own points and how many of your lineups hold him, and your best and average lineup.
Does exposure update as I re-import? Yes. Re-importing the same entries file updates your lineups in place rather than duplicating them.
