Why faceoffs matter
In fantasy leagues that count FOW, this center-exclusive category provides a unique edge. Elite faceoff men can win 15+ faceoffs per game.
FOW factors
- Faceoff percentage: Elite centers win 55%+ of draws - Faceoff volume: Special teams usage increases draws taken - Opponent: Some centers have favorable H2H matchups - Game script: Close games and OT increase total faceoffs
FOW specialists
Patrice Bergeron, Ryan O'Reilly, and Sean Couturier types who combine high FO% with heavy usage dominate this category.
💡
Pro Tip: Target centers with both high FO% AND high volume. A 60% FO winner taking 15 draws beats a 55% winner taking 25 draws in expected FOW.
