Check the activity of Corrigeen Crusaders please. I am pretty sure they were inactive for at least two weeks if not 3 or 4.

I have them as inactive for 3 weeks. Unfortunately (and I don't agree with it) that falls within the realms of "reasonable" within the Fantasy Football Charter.

Either way they are gone down so we don't have to deal with their messing for next season.

I really think this needs to be revisited. In this day and age there is no excuse not to be able to get online and set a team. FFS I was 4000 meters high up in the Andes mountains earlier this summer and I could still get 3G access in places.

There needs to be a more stringent policy on inactives IMO.

Won't have to anyway. Andre Brown has brought me to the Premier! :pac:

But that sort of one really annoys me. Guy realised he was out and then decided I can't be bothered to play anymore. Regardless of how it effects other teams.

I'm one win from joining ya I hear ya though the whole idea of relegation was to make every game relevant so I don't understand some peoples attitudes.

Either way its Div 2s problem next season.

Just want to find out how you calculated 3 weeks inactive for Corrigeen?

Raoul

I am actually just after looking there now. He had Dalton one week starting then he was active and for some reason stuck in Pryor even though he wasn't playing. So perhaps I was wrong about him being inactive for that week, just a weird decision to put Pryor in there.

Ive kept an eye on the last activity page every week to see whos been logging in and when.

You could argue much more inactivity if you wanted based on team selection but I guess its not defined what consists inactivity

Ie. Weeks 3,4 & 5 he left a guy on IR in his starting lineup (Bradshaw) weeks 7&8 likewise (Franklin)

Plus wks 12 & 13 left a non starting QB in his team although that appears to have been by design although its a bizzare decision at best.

But I don't think that actually counts as inactivity although perhaps it should.

D3PO

either way its a pointless discussion hes not inactive as defined by the forum rules so that's that and nobody is arguing that he should be classed as inactive.

He will be relegated from his onfield performances anyway.

How did Dublin Packers get a co-owner? Is this allowed?

That co owner was me. I had problems getting him into the league at the start of the season so took the team with my second account and then added him as a co owner to get him in the league. Not done anything about deleting my second account since then as i basically not thought about it

Raoul

As for having co owners, I don't see the problem. Would prefer someone to Have a second owner look after their team if the are going to be inactive.

Pleased with Johnson, disappointed with Tate

D3PO

projections have it anybodies game. Interesting stuff mind you need to concentrate on my own game

D3PO

timely return to form by my squad and revenge over the Nastys and promotion to the Premier all but complete. Roll on a semi final match with Mike next week.

Raoul

I am glad that I got the bye. Would have had a terrible week this week.

I only managed to put up 148 pts this week had a bad one myself :cool::pac::p;):D

Cannot wait until Andre Brown beats you in the superbowl

Edit - Actually I probably won't play Brown if I get that far.

Both Blades & myself are promoted

Semi Final matches are set

Spongey plays Raoul and Mikemac plays D3PO

D3PO

that was some fantasy performance by McCowan. I thought it was going to be so close and he made sure it wasn't

Oat23

Congrats, Spongey Bears won and I would have taken that over a fantasy win anyway!

Disappointing year for me in fantasy. Missed out on promotion in this league and was relegated in the other. Didn't help that I had Doug Martin, Roddy White and Chris Ivory as starters

eagle eye

Just looking at the overall tables there.

Four of the top five highest scoring teams had winning records with me(3rd highest) being the only one not to have a winning record but when you look at the points against it shows a pretty clear picture that luck plays a huge part in a 16 team league. The 5 teams with the highest points against (me again 3rd) all had losing records.

Raoul

Well its not just about being the highest scoring. It is about being the most consistent scorers. I didn't really have too many high scoring games but I was a consistent scorer. In fact I was the best coach in the league for getting my line up right. Have a look at the breakdown standings on the NFL site. Its fairly interesting.

And yes, lots of luck involved.

eagle eye

I would have been 8-5 based on that breakdown thing.

Raoul

Through to the superbowl!! WOO!!

D3PO

well its a formality for Mike to beat me this evening. When your opponent racks up over 100 points from their first 5 guys to play with their lowest scorer getting over 14 points. You have just no chance of winning.

Id have comfortably beat the two teams in the other semi so that sucks

Well theres always next year in the Premier to go win it all.

I had a serious run of bad luck this weekend in my 3 leagues in the playoffs. Apart from coming up against Mike who will probably post above 150 pts this week or close to it.

My other two leagues I came up against Jamal Charles in both of them. Go figure.
