My team eats the dick. I had the last pick
Got bumped off a few times and ended up with guys I wouldn't have drafted. Also I should have actually done some draft prep. 9/8/2016 6:18:47 AM |

im kinda relieved i was playing against anderson and now i dont have to stress out about having 1qb since its already over either way. 9/9/2016 2:40:00 AM |

Thus the value of QBs in this league.
It's more interesting of a league than you think. It's a good test and a lot luck. 9/9/2016 10:26:41 AM |
The E Man Suspended 15268 Posts user info edit post |
At first I thought it was a good idea but not if there are no qbs remaining. Maybe it would have been ok in a 10 team league but theres a reason every other league only has 1 qb and defense per week and its because there is only 1qb that plays most of the season for most teams. 2x14=28 which pretty much takes all of the "decision making" out of the equation when it comes to qb. Everyone will just play the 2 qbs they have and see what happens. 9/9/2016 10:48:30 AM |

and thats why I drafted 3 QBS, I thought about taking a 4th just because I wanted to make it soooo much more interesting for those that asked for this shit lineup 9/9/2016 11:52:16 AM |

You could have...they are good trade bait and expensive to keep on your roster though...The benefit/challenge of the small roster. 9/9/2016 4:31:41 PM |

I've got a 4th QB if anyone needs... 9/9/2016 5:03:50 PM |
eleusis All American 24527 Posts user info edit post |
the TEs and the defenses are possibly more important in this league that the QBs are. I had full intentions of taking Jordan Reed with my third pick after drafting Gronk 1st overall, but he got taken 2 picks earlier and I ended up with CJ Anderson instead.
At least there's no risk of a defense ending up on IR, but there are going to be weeks where there are only 24 defenses playing football total. You effectively have to use 3 bench spots for a defense, TE, and QB, since there won't be any left by week 5. Or, maybe trade your way into having your entire team on bye the same week and just take the loss. 9/10/2016 11:30:26 AM |

i must say the player bonuses are pretty ridiculous and only further inflate players who had big games.
points accumulate exponentially after a certain points. score 4 tds and you get the 4tds points but guess what? heres 8 free points just because you already have a bunch of points.

the bonuses encourage starting players with high ceilings instead of low floors, and it's what makes this league great. 9/13/2016 1:44:56 PM |
The E Man Suspended 15268 Posts user info edit post |
maybe it would be great in a different format (less teams, or 1 of each starter instead of 2) but in the current format theres just not enough players to go around. theres never going to be waivers for defenses and qbs.
most of the players who started will start for the entire season because theres just not that much flexibility or choice in who you have on your roster or who you start.
in a standard league, theres literally enough players where you could play a competitive team off of only waivers. thats what makes fantasy football great. 9/14/2016 12:38:19 AM |
eleusis All American 24527 Posts user info edit post |
a league that allows you to make all decisions through the waiver wire is boring as hell, because no trades ever get made. 9/14/2016 12:06:40 PM |

This league is just different E-man. Doesn't make it shitty that it requires a completely different strategy. The draft is ridiculously important in a league like this. Be patient with your team and maybe it'll work out. Otherwise start looking at some trade options. Best thing about this league is that it will be super competitive just like last year. 9/14/2016 12:16:35 PM |

I hate this league and love it at the same time.
Right now I mainly hate it. 10/25/2016 5:48:01 PM |
bdmazur ?? ????? ?? 14957 Posts user info edit post |
I'm in 3 leagues and this is the one I care the least about, mostly because there's not much you can do when one TE is hurt and the other is on a bye week, because you literally have 5 options on who to pick up and none are worth dropping any of the 4 bench players you have left because you know you need them next week when half of your team is on BYE. 10/25/2016 5:56:45 PM |

That's the greatness of the setup.
Any week any one person's team can get nuked. 10/25/2016 6:02:40 PM |
The E Man Suspended 15268 Posts user info edit post |
yeah no offense but this is the dumbest league i've ever seen. i'm still setting my lineup but made some drafting mistakes and 90% of this league was draft and then i was turned off when i found out about the bonuses which don't make any sense. 10/25/2016 6:03:21 PM |
JT3bucky All American 23257 Posts user info edit post |
but because bench depth is so short, there are lots of random guys that are FA pickups and waiver pickups 10/25/2016 6:16:28 PM |

I love this setup due to the 2TE and 2DEF positions. Most other leagues allow you to stream QBs and defenses while fighting over WR/RB positions; this league is the exact opposite. Unfortunately we had a few people quit this year, so my QB hoarding strategy isn't really working like I'd hoped. 10/26/2016 3:41:12 PM |
bdmazur ?? ????? ?? 14957 Posts user info edit post |
^The QB and DEF is what I dislike the most. There are only 30 defenses and 30 QBs expected to start. We each have 2 leaving only 6 each week not set as starters. Weeks 8 & 9 each have 6 teams on bye weeks.
So while good drafting could carry you through, this league relies more on week-by-week luck than any I've ever played in. Maybe the person you're up against has all of their starters this week, maybe they have a QB, a TE, and a DEF on bye weeks with no valid options to pick up.
There is only 1 DEF available right now which isn't on a bye week, and there are no QBs available who are expected to start.
I should mention that I have 3 D's and 4 QB's, and would gladly make a trade for a TE worth a damn.

TEs are the most valuable position in this entire league. There's only about 10 in the entire league that are worth a damn, and after that it's a crapshoot. I burnt my first and third draft picks on the TE position and still didn't get real production out of them until week 5.
FYI, you do have an IR slot that you could place Roethlisburger in and pick up someone else if you needed to. Or, you could stash Dwayne Allen in IR and hope for an injury to Jack Doyle. 10/26/2016 11:08:15 PM |

^I did. That's how I picked up a 3rd D. But I still have a TE problem. 10/27/2016 12:25:01 AM |

The D I picked up netted me negative points. I would have done better to leave the slot empty. 10/28/2016 1:28:00 PM |

Can we cut down the number of playoff spots? 8 people is ridiculous considerng there may only be 8 people actually playing by that time. 10/30/2016 10:23:27 AM |

The records are going to end up pretty skewed. However many people are keeping up with their lineup should make the playoffs. 10/30/2016 1:02:17 PM |
eleusis All American 24527 Posts user info edit post |
merely not quitting on fantasy shouldn't justify a person making the playoffs. there's no reason for more than half the league to make the postseason. 10/30/2016 3:41:01 PM |
bdmazur ?? ????? ?? 14957 Posts user info edit post |
I have both TE's and a D out, but there's no one worth picking up for the cost of dropping someone I currently have. I'll have to sacrifice this week to have a chance to win the next. 11/4/2016 4:51:31 PM |
