Trades are fun, I like trading.




Also a thought, next season trim down the size of the bench/starting lineup so the talent pool doesn't get so diluted?

Isn't the talent pool being diluted the fun part? Gotta find that hidden gem in the pile of poo poo (hello Duke Johnson).

Yeah then you get people just hoarding players and not using them. Or not having to make hard choices with injuries/bye weeks.


A different philosophy I guess.

Nah. You don't want to start too many people, it becomes silly season after awhile. As it is most teams only have 1 or 2 maaaaaybe 3 viable players on their bench, depending on how well they drafted or scoured the waiver wire.

Yeah that was me. Pats on a bye so no Brady/Dion Lewis, who are usually both good for at least 40 points combined.

This was the first week I really got wrecked. If it weren't for a couple of unlucky matchups I'd be 3-1, but I'm 1-3.

For example, even after that poo poo week I still have the highest points scored, but my points against is just beyond retarded. I've had 597 points scored against me, the second highest is 485 :pwn:

So if you want to have a great week, just play me!

This is true when the talent pool is diluted by number of teams. 12 and 14 team leagues can lead to some hilarious starting lineups.

Big benches are just lame.

Yea well hope it was worth not being able to make up a pickup for the rest of the season. :unsmigghh:

Edit: I did change how waivers work. Rather than being based on standings, it'll be based on who makes the last pick up. Unless people are opposed to that then I'll shift it back. :shrug:

Also, I'm not participating in the poll so if everyone participates there's a natural tiebreak. Whatever the majority picks goes! Frankly I've never played in a league with inverse standings, it's weird tbh.

How do you typically draft? If the guy with the 1st overall pick does a good job does he get the 2nd, too?

Want to really throw a monkey wrench into stats, give individual players points for punt return yardage. I know you can't do that now

This is the shining jewel on top of the pile of dog poo poo that is Jamal Charles tearing his ACL (HELLO TOP THREE DRAFT PICKS IN OFFICE LEAGUE DONE FOR FANTASY REGULAR SEASON).

I'm basically done wasting cash on roster transactions because its just tossing money into a void. Might as well just go buy a powerball ticket instead.
