Why try and put together a solid team

[mgs316 14]

Yes, another pathetic complaining thread but damn it, I'm in 9th place out of 12 teams and someone must suffer with me, i.e. you!

 

qb/rb/rb/wr/wr/te/k/d league

 

#2 QB

#9 RB + other RB's in the 20's so i guess i'm weak here.

#5 and #11 WR

#7 TE + waiting on Hernandez to stop being a puss.

#3 Kicker

#3 defense

 

Who's worse with a better team?

[boseshy 0]

RG3

Cobb

D. Moore

Roddy

Martin

Charles

Hernandez

 

 

First in points, 6/12 in the standings with 2 tough matchups to go.

I most definetly feel your pain and have you crushed on sh|tty luck. I am 4-7 in one league and am tied for last in my division(6 teams) and league(12 teams)

 

-have out scored everyone in my division by over 125 pts

-have out scored the division leader by over 148 pts who is 3.5 games ahead of me

-have had 300+ more pts scored against me than the division leader

-#2 overall pt scorer

-#1 passing and rushing team

 

NOW SOMEONE BEAT THAT!!!!

I feel your pain brotha.

 

I'm the defending champion in the league with my sig, and I'm 4-7 probably not making the playoffs.

 

I blame myself for not drafting a RB in top 2 rounds, and too many injuries: Harvin, Sproles, Hernandez, and Nicks.

Dang this is a sad thread. I know the feeling tho, I seem to get jobbed last 2 years by strange circumstances. Last year missed playoffs due to stupid rule that we send top 3 from each division rather than 2 div winners and wild cards. Year before I left a trade offer up after it was "verbally" rejected but forgot to cancel it. Later that week the trade players value skyrocketed and he accepted the trade that was still left up. Cost me the championship.

 

FF is just like that tho, its not how you play, its who you play and when. Those that lose 166-159 then win 77-60 know what i mean. But its good when it happens to you.

My leagues use overall points to determine the 6th playoff spot. It always seems to go to a more deserving team than if done on record. Helps cushion the blow if you seem to be barelylosing to the top scorer every week.

Consider it a chance to build character...just kidding. But seriously if your really living and dying by your fantasy team this much you should probably carry more than just a couple of teams and vary the players on them so that you always have a team that is competitive.

 

You could always look at FanDuel to, they let you rebuild a team each week based on a salary cap. It's not quite as fun as drafting a team but it can serve as a week to week "fix" for the junkies.

[nadnewob 1]

RG3, Roethlisberger

Charles, Ridley, Spiller, Beanie

Megatron, Hakeem Nicks, James Jones, Kenny Britt

Hernandez, Myers

Walsh

Cowboys

 

6-5, 7th in the standings. (#3-8 are ALL 6-5)

 

3rd in points, 1st in points against. 2 tough matchups, so the season could go either way.

[montana 89]

I'm 7th outta 12 with this team:

QB: Brees & Palmer

RB: TRich, DMC, MJD, Ballard, Hunter, Parmele

WR: Wayne, Colston, Decker, Floyd, Amendola, Shorts

TE: Allen & Rudolph

D: NYG

K: Tynes

 

(Traded Willis Mc for MJD 2 wks ago in my only trade of the year. The rest were drafted or WW).

How in the hell is this team 5-6?

lol there is no beating that, unless someone comes in as the #1 overall scorer and is still somehow losing.

 

Fantasy is random man, that's part of the reason we like it. I do not take it particularly seriously. I pretty much just play for beer money, and if someone talks a lot about that, I challenge them to a $10k entry league, which is a decent chunk of change but I can theoretically afford that loss, but most people don't want to risk it and are forced to admit it's pure luck at that point. No matter how much somebody talks about fantasy being all skill, I have yet to meet somebody that's really willing to put serious money on it.
