FFLoD

[robertd]

Not sure how many other league members are on here, but I figured I'd start a topic for us for this week.

Loving the league, but man did QB importance help, then murder me. I was 5 points from the win that would have gave number 1 overall when Big Ben went down, now i've lost the last two. And being a 16 team league leaves a shallow backup pool so who knows if i'll make the playoffs now.

QB+RB is unbeatable.

Im gonna nerf the QB stats next year but overall i had lots a fun.

Especially when its nothing real serious and with people that have common interest.

[robertd]

I will definatly be involved in the league next year, and with more balance in the QB position, I think next year is the year the nFo takes the crown.

Seriously tho Fuj, great idea on setting it up. It's good to have a league with people we are kinda familiar with, plus you can see some new interactions on BoD based on the interaction on the FFLoD.

I've gotten great QB play, and that's about it. All of my leagues have been disappointing this year, and the FFLoD certainly fits that bill. I'm sure I'll return to this thread when I have more time to bitch about individual underperformers on my team...

ill just this...

DARREN MCFADDEN IS FANTASY DEATH!!

The limits on WR and RB and lack of IR spots has destroyed me,lol. I thought on paper I had a decent team but it has been brutal.

KeyShawn Michaels is about to go for the Starman record!

I didn't draft well enough to withstand bye weeks with the roster limitations so I took a few built in losses, but holy shit does having Brady in a league like this help a whole lot.

[robertd]

I drafted Ryan Matthews with my first pick and he went down first preseason game. That hurt me a lot at the RB position out the gate. Hopefully Fuj will consider pushing the draft back a week or two, as injuries during the season are a crap shoot, but having a major one before it even starts is a major problem.

Otherwise I drafted well, choosing steady guys. Instead of guys who have random huge games, I drafted guys who would be consistent in getting points. Big Ben may not have had 70+ point games week in and week out, but he was a great anchor, getting 40+ every game but one. Him going down is the sole reason I went from a sure spot as 1 or 2 seed, to no longer in the running. So late in the season, there were no viable backups left, as one week I had to take Foles, who got a shameful 21 points, and this week had to take Locker, who only managed 38 against Jacksonville.

[The Fuj]

Well the reason for the early draft was to lock everyone in, because I had 20 people at the most and had to turn everyone away, and I didnt want any last minute "back out bettys" so i hit the draft during the preseason to lock everyone in at least.

Now that the FFLoD has quite a bit of traction (thanx guys) I'll do it the week before week 1 from here on out.

As awful as my season has been, I'll definitely be in for another season of jobbing next year.

[aratcliffe]

I really shit the bed by the end of the season. Wound up being my only league where I finished sub-.500. Still, I'm totally down for another year, absolutely.
