Definitions
- Min. %: Force a player to be in x% of lineups.
- Max. %: Prevent a player from being in more than x% of lineups.
Examples
- I want Player #1 to be in at least 10% of lineups.
Set Player #1's minimum exposure to 10%. - I want Player #2 and Player #3 to be in at least 5% of lineups but not more than 15% of lineups.
 Set each player's minimum exposure to 5% and their maximum exposure to 15%. - I want to prevent Player #4 from being in more than 25% of lineups.
