edjr 5,731 Posted December 2, 2014 7 teams makes the playoffs out of 14, 1 team gets a bye. 2 seed picks between the 5, 6 and 7 seed. 3 seed (me) picks between the remaining 2. 2 seed has picked the 6th seed. I have to pick between the 5th and 7th seeds (7th seed was highest scoring team in the league) Who would you pick to play? (easy choice it seems to me) 5th seed. QB Andrew Luck QB @CLE RB Joique Bell TB RB Ryan Mathews NE WR Calvin Johnson TB WR Julio Jones @GB TE Brent Celek SEA DST 49ers @OAK K Stephen Gostkowski 7th seed QB Aaron Rodgers ATL RB Le'Veon Bell @CIN RB Darren McFadden SF WR Brandon Marshall I DAL WR Jordy Nelson ATL TE Rob Gronkowski @SD DST Seahawks @PHI K Steven Hauschka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eagles Green 34 Posted December 2, 2014 Do you phags play water pong after your draft? I would probably play the 5th seed. Rodgers is going to torch the Falcoons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sho Nuff 720 Posted December 2, 2014 Wait, what? So, #1 gets a bye. 2 picked 6, you (3) can pick 6 or 7...and 4 gets whoever is left. #1 then gets the lowest remaining seed I hope? Id lean 5...Rodgers + Jordy against ATL, Gronk, and Bell against CIN should put up big points. Then hope Julio and Luck shot their load last week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IMMensaMind 460 Posted December 2, 2014 Interesting rule! I like it. As for which one, both would scare me. I think - barely - the 5th seed will score less. But only by a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct, Next week - 4 teams remain and #1 can pick between any teams, but not #2, should they win. Lowest seed very well may be the highest scoring team, so they can choose another team. In our league, the top 6 teams make it via record and the 7th team makes it on points only out of the remaining 8 teams, no matter what their record was.

The major factor in my decision was which team had more "studs". So i you use that in your case...#5 has 3 "studs" Luck, Calvin and Julio Jones. #7 team has 5 "studs" Rodgers, Bell, Marshall, Nelson and Gronk. We do basically the same thing in CBS league im commish in. 8 of 12 make playoffs and #1 seed gets first pick of teams that finished 5th-8th then #2 seed gets pick of remaining 3 teams and #3 seed picks between remaining two teams with last 2 left playing each other.

IMMensaMind 460 Posted December 3, 2014 You can do this on CBS, and probably every other site - you just have to set playoff selection to manual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted December 3, 2014 Play against the team that doesn't have 4 players that are the best at their position in fantasy this year. You don't want a piece of Rodgers, Jordy, Gronk AND Bell. That's just a buzzsaw. If hat team doesn't win the championship he should be teabagged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edjr 5,731 Posted December 3, 2014 You can do this on CBS, and probably every other site - you just have to set playoff selection to manual. We do use CBS, but it is entered manually. it is rather simple. The main reason I instituted the change some 7 years ago, because we started to allow the team with the highest points to get the last playoff spot, regardless of record. That made it unfair for the highest seed to play the team with the most points out of the other non playoff teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edjr 5,731 Posted December 3, 2014 I cut a deal with the 5th seed last night. I am playing him, but we have agreed to split any winnings we make. Can't split with anyone else. gives us a 25% chance to win $1800 (winner of super bowl gets $3600) I already won $1250 for winning division and a couple high teams and high players Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DickNormas 1 Posted December 3, 2014 I would pick team 5. But in my humble opinion your season is about to end. Good LUCK! Those r the most stacked 14 team #5 & #7 seed teams in the history of FF. Just curious... Are their woman in your league? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I kind of like this idea.We been doing this on CBS for few years. I'm don't like byes and if you just do same old 1 vs 8 and 2 vs 7 and so on and a lot of times those lower seeds are better then higher seeds so it rewards you more and adds some fun. While the $180 league fee is total BS but we all love the site especially playing 2 games a week.

Man_of_Leisure 0 Posted December 4, 2014 I love the idea, but I have a question. It seems like it would really suck to be the 4th seed. You end up with whoever the other two don't want to play.

GreenTD 56 Posted December 10, 2014 More I think about it the more I hate this idea. Bad enough to lose against a random lineup, let alone lose to a hand selected one. This. It's bad enough making decisions to start player A over player B & have the bench player outscore your starter is bad enough. But to decide between two teams as your opponent & having the team that you pick to play to beat you would be demoralizing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
