Right now it seems like it would be pretty difficult as the loser squads are poo poo piles to pick from and the long term players have well stocked teams. I could see next year playing out similar. Yall future losers better leave better players!

My team scored 3rd in PF and still got relegated.

The players you have may not make much of a difference if you happen to go up against every team’s hottest week.

That said, I’m bringing sexy back to the non-sexy tier.

Isn't there a mechanic that eventually puts top players back into the draft pool? Players get too expensive to keep at some point, don't they?

Signifying nothing.

Yes, but it's pretty mild.

You do need a healthy dose of both luck and skill to break into Tier A and stay there, but that's kind of the draw of it for me. This was by far my worst team this year, but the one I put the most effort/fun into each week.

The only real downside I see is it gets a LOT harder to make any money if you make the jump. But then, the entry fees are so small anyway that I don't consider it a big deal.

Lookit me talkin' big-boy talk now that I've finally made it.

The only way to solve this is move to MFL which allows multiple copies of players.

Then whatever squad you have in B that gets you to A you can choose to keep from.

At least in soccer/futbol leagues that do promotion/relegation you at least have the same team.

Having been in two MFL leagues that crashed and burned spectacularly as a result of their system....I'd like to keep it on ESPN. I mean, not a big deal if the best move is to go to MFL. But I got hosed out of a league I paid for when their site refused to update lineups despite going in and confirming player changes multiple times, so that site has left a pretty bad impression as far as fantasy sports goes.

I'm the second worst team in Tier B, only just above the guy who literally didn't pay attention or do anything all season long, so I guess that's about what my input is worth. Gonna echo SouthShoreSamurai in saying that despite my terrible record, this was definitely one of the most fun goon leagues I've played in and I'm looking forward to next season already

Yeah unless we have a Dev ninja amongst us who can make the site somewhat useable, I'm also against moving to MFL, fwiw.

MFL is too close to FML so for that reason

So despite Rivers and Watson teaming up to make me look EXTREMELY dumb, somehow my team pulled it out. Ladies and Gentlemen, happy holidays from your B-Tier champion, and I look forward to failing spectacularly in Tier A next year.

Salt in the wound - I got an adjustment down one point. We both left big points on the bench but Gronk getting a goose egg really was the thing that bent me over :( Sad stuck-in-tier-B-baby here.

Brate’s 1.8 vs Gronk’s 0 was the difference maker actually. I won by 1.7 lol

If it makes you feel better, we both would have won the championship game ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As far as I am concerned, and if you want to keep track of stuff like this, you can just apply my $ to next year's buy-in to save the hassle.
