Law 220 Posted September 24, 2018 Last week, I lost when my kicker hurt himself in warm ups. Lost by 1. This week, I lost when James White ran for some 30 yards and caught 2 passes for 4 yards in the last 60s of the game as both teams just tried to end it quickly. Lost by 2. I wonder what next week will bring! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted September 24, 2018 I am finding ways to win. It's called starting players who score more points than my opponent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanatastic 2,061 Posted September 24, 2018 Was 2nd highest score this week, played the guy with highest. I lose by 7 points and Dan Bailey, kicker for the surest thing in football history this week, gets me zero. Of course he does, my bad, should have done more research. I’m sure lots of 17 point favorites get shut out most of the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The regular season is a marathon. The cream usually rises to the top. It's the playoffs that become the mad dash to the finish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Making the playoffs takes management, dedication and research usually. Winning in the playoffs is completely and utterly a coin flip. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brotherbock 349 Posted September 24, 2018 A mad dash involving the players you've skillfully put together over the course of the season, giving you better odds because of your skill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This seems as if it's a DIRECT quote from me! I have one league where I have been the highest scoring team for 5 straight years, the #1 seed 4x. I have 1 SB win in those 5 years. I AM the Buffalo Bills of fantasy football! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, we just both understand the concepts of variables and how they apply to head to head FF. The make almost every edge gained by research and knowledge irrelevant. The measure of success in FF is scoring, not winning. We have some control over a high scoring season. We have little control over how many wins we get.

I'm on board here, btw, with just a change of 'little' to 'less' for my preferences. But non-HTH leagues are a lot more about skill than HTH leagues are. Completely in agreement.

Completely in agreement. Less for sure is the better word. The problem is that alternative standings solutions are just so boring compared to h2h. The competition and trash talking and one upsmanship is what makes FF fun. Multiple people have showed me the 2 games a week thing and that has potential.

I only play H2H, for those exact reasons But yeah. 2 games has potential. If Yahoo could accommodate that so I wouldn't have to do extra work, I'd be all over it.
