Can't complain too much though because I'm going to lose my matchup but beat the median so end up still above 500.

I feel bad because CreamedCorn should have at least one win considering they are averaging 100 points more than me and yet. E: oh I have that backwards, 100 more points have been scored against them on average. That's still pretty unlucky. Rick fucked around with this message at 11:15 on Nov 8, 2021 |

They left multiple players with games on the bench a few times last week. Chronicles has some impressive results; #1 in PA and yet they've earned a 5-1 record.

For some benefit of the doubt, it is possible for your roster to be set ahead and just break in fleaflicker. Basically if someone you set on the IR becomes healthy at some point it just doesn't process the lineup change made.

Aw man that's rough, hope you feel better soon. I don't think Fleaflicker has an auto function like Yahoo fantasy. That would be a nice feature.

As others have said you can set in the future. I honestly don't mind setting your lineups for a bit either if that helps if you don't have the energy for that.

Ah poo poo man I'm sorry, have been in similar places before with certain meds. Your team can be set many days in advance, although as was mentioned players going on/off IR can have a domino effect on future dates so unfortunately you can't necessarily "set it and forget". I can help by checkin your roster and moving benched players into starting roles when something seems amiss. Also feel free to reach out if you ever want to chat or vent about stuff, fantasy hoops or otherwise.

I like this format. I like having any good thing my players do count, instead of rooting for like, rebounds specifically or whatever in a given game. It’s less deep in that there’s no real strategy but “pick the best guys” but who cares

Ghost Dog posted:how do other fantasy leagues work this is literally the only fanty basketball ive ever done The most popular format among most people I know (I guess technically roto is more popular world wide but I don't know anyone who does it) divides things up into categories. So like if you have the most points, you get a point, if you have the most rebounds, you get a point, the most steals, you get a point, etc, and then whoever wins the point wins the matchup. DeimosRising posted:I like this format. I like having any good thing my players do count, instead of rooting for like, rebounds specifically or whatever in a given game. It’s less deep in that there’s no real strategy but “pick the best guys” but who cares That is nice to hear because I do think it's less strategy (and they don't even provide the option of categories here) but I do think it is closer to finding good basketball players than like Justin Holiday being a hot commodity.

thats a wild way to do it, i just assumed all fantasy was like football where your dude just gets points for doing good things and the most points wins is josh hart just a god in that format lol, random shithead guard getting like 7 rebounds a game

Ghost Dog posted:thats a wild way to do it, i just assumed all fantasy was like football where your dude just gets points for doing good things and the most points wins yeah usually in a mildly competitive league it's impossible to be good in every category, so you have to go in with a plan to like, dominate rebounds and blocks and fg% for example, so you take all the best bigs and then get guards who play weird, or you want threes and free throw percentage so you just "punt" on rebounds and take bigs who shoot instead of playing any defense. Basically you have to pick a team that is all or mostly good at the same stuff or you'll just be mediocre at everything. In theory this kind of strategizing would be fun but in reality i think it feels kind of like work, scouring the dregs of the league for good rebounding scrubs or whatever.

He's kind of like the Ingles of our league where he ends up spending a little time on a lot of rosters. Because most people end up trying to specialize, though, like Deimos said, he doesn't stick. Basically he gives you a lot of a lot of things, but if you just need a certain thing, you're going to find a long term solution that fits that better.

Hmm I only started playing fant last year but I don’t do this at all and I still ended up first. But maybe I got lucky and did it by accident.

Man what the hell, I was certain I'd set my whole week properly and then oops Connaughton and Sengun were benched for no reason. Missed out on over 140 pts this week from that sort of thing. Add on Giannis being injured and me not seeing the news til it was too late, and I'll be lucky to scrape over the median this week. Ah well, tis a long season.

In your case I honestly can't tell, usually when this happens it's because someone has a player on the IR who is healthy but both your players are still OUT.

This isn't limited to Lothlorien, but the other NBA/NHL fantasy leagues I'm in don't have a thread like this one so: I'm mildly annoyed that a player can finish their game, and hours later I still cannot drop them to pick up someone else. You're at the mercy of the league schedule, and hoping that when a particular player becoming available/active/healed/etc it coincides with your 12th/13th-best player not being "Locked". Blah.

This is actually one thing that ESPN is better at, is that once the first game starts, all add/remove actions are considered to be on tomorrow's roster. Well except for the part where if a player is announced hurt two hours before an east coast evening game on a Sunday you can't get a player to replace them because there was a game at noon.

That latter bit is really unavoidable. Obviously also a big issue in football. Unless you forced teams to announce their roster, no takebacks, a day in advance (one weird trick gamblers would fucken love)

Well except for the part where if a player is announced hurt two hours before an east coast evening game on a Sunday you can't get a player to replace them because there was a game at noon. Yeah, that's what I thought Fleaflicker did initially. When you adjusted the settings regarding # weekly adds and waiver times in Week 2, did that affect this aspect as well? Anyways, it's a very minor gripe, when compared to my Yahoo NHL league. Every transaction is pushed to the following day, with days changing around 3 or 4AM I guess. So today, Wednesday morning at 6AM, I could try to pickup a freely available (not on waivers) player, BUT they'd only be added to my roster on Thursday morning. You need to be fuckin Nostradamus when it comes to starting line-ups and late scratches due to lingering injuries. And now Ottawa has suspended all team activities for a week due to a covid outbreak, and not only did I lose a bunch of games stats-wise but I can't even replace them due to a lack of IR~(Capitalists Are Pretending We're Less Than Halfway Through A Goddamn Pandemic) spots. The above was so ridiculous that I could only chuckle and think "Look how they massacred my rook" when the Mobley injury news came out. Anyways....most of y'all have turkey weekend coming up. Are you able to celebrate remotely, or will you be rolling the dice on travel and family gatherings?

I definitely think it might be the waiver thing. It seems to have pushed the problems I always dealt with trying to adjust my roster in the dead of night into east coast morning instead. I can undo it. We would lose being able to add people same day but it doesn’t seem like anyone is doing that anyway (although people ARE using waivers now which is interesting). I hope everyone is being safe out there when you bring up travel. I know family is a different priority for most than me. I prefer to spend Thanksgiving alone. I got a Turkey breast to cook in the instant pot since that was like the one of the few successes I have had in the contraption. Then I will go out into the woods on Friday or Saturday for the day. Pre-pandemic I had planned on picking up the ultimate irony-posting tradition of going to a truck stop to pick up to-go food from a buffet and then head out to the woods then, but still not going to do it this year. Maybe next year.

I think it's okay as is, just had an adjustment period. Seems like an okay trade-off for those who want to stream. I def can see same-day drops/adds occurring when folks go from questionable to out, or if there's a late push to beat the median, etc. Rick, please tell me it's a good buffet. Chillin solo is pretty neat though, I did the same for Canadian Turkey weekend. Even with my respirator I won't be doing indoor gatherings of any kind for a while yet. kalensc fucked around with this message at 03:51 on Nov 18, 2021 |
