    plenty of my players on the trade block - la dairymilk


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,137 ✭✭✭Onecoolcookie


    Off to a pretty awful start and looking to re-jig my team a bit, so basically open to any trade offers (Cookie's Cowboys)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,929 ✭✭✭JaMarcus Hustle


    Gotta love waking up to a mammoth points haul from SNF.

    73.70 points from Forte, Brown and the Bears D :D

    Also, open to trade offers if anyone can offer me a starting RB.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭SantryRed


    FFS,

    Lost my game by .5. What won it for the other team? A Janikowski PAT with 2 mins left in the Raiders game :(

    Yeah, I was quietly confident of winning before SNF started & than your players started racking up the points.
    Very disappointed to lose, considering I put up the 3rd highest score in the league this week:(

    So incredibly happy I didn't talk myself out of drafting Peterson #1.

    I picked him in the 2nd round last year and was ridiculed. Won me that league on his own. Kinda like real footballl

    I was watching an episode of the league from last season and somebody said he shouldn't go earlier than the 3rd round!

    Feeling pretty confident about my chances this week :pac:

    Wow. Caught a huge break to keep the number 2 seed, now that we have reached the playoffs.
    Needed to win my match to keep my spot but in the event that I lost (which I did), I needed "Show us your TDs" to lose to keep the division lead & both "LA Dairymilk" and "The Arsenal Jets" to also lose to retain that second seed, all of which happened thanks to three powerhouses in division 3, who all managed to finish with a record of 10-3:)

    Pain in the arse for me. Tied for the best record of the 16 teams on 10-3, yet I'm still 6th seed as I'm 3rd in my own division :o


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,137 ✭✭✭Onecoolcookie


    How many teams go down? All the teams 11-14 have the same record but I'm in 14th :(

    Yeah. Never seen a situation where the three best records come from the same division. Very unusual.

    4 go down, but you could be in luck if there are inactive players in higher divisions who get bumped down into the lowest league for the following season.
    For example only 2 players last year from this league actually got relegated.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,628 ✭✭✭me89


    Missed out by one spot, finished on 8-5 the same as the two people above me in my division. :-(


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,546 ✭✭✭Masked Man


    Yeah. Never seen a situation where the three best records come from the same division. Very unusual.

    I could've actually gotten into the playoffs with a losing record as well.

    I think this is the third year in a row me and Tipperary Bulldogs will meet in the playoffs. Sucks that one of us won't get promoted this year.


  • Registered Users Posts: 981 ✭✭✭Lionbacker


    It's typical that the week I'm on bye, my fantasy team decides to go off & score 154.20 points (the highest score in the league this season I believe)!
    I can only just hope that next week, when it matters, my players keep up the good form.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,546 ✭✭✭Masked Man


    Will pretty much be the best week I've ever had in fantasy if I win this match after losing two top ten RBs and win in the PPR league.

    And so they did. They have absolutely caught fire once the playoffs began, with another 150+ points performance in the semi's & the highest score of the week on Championship weekend which helped me take the title:)

    Looking forward to next year now.

    Will draft conversation take place on this thread ?

    I sent a pm to the 4 new members of division 2 with a link for signing up.

    A poll has been set up to decide the Draft time.

    Last preseason game is Thursday August 28th so draft has to be after this and before Thursday September 4th (1st game) You should amend your options in the poll

    Good point. That's done so the draft will take place somewhere between the 29th and the 3rd.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,169 ✭✭✭JohnnyRyan99


    How's everything coming along in here?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,341 ✭✭✭El Horseboxo


    When is this poll being closed? Would like to know when the draft will be as I've to book a flight over that weekend. So just trying to figure out when to book for.

    I'll keep the poll open until Friday evening, I'll send a pm to those who are yet to vote tomorrow.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,628 ✭✭✭me89


    It looks like the draft will be Monday 1st at 10 p.m, still waiting on two people to vote so I'll leave it open until 11 tonight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,341 ✭✭✭El Horseboxo


    What happens if 2 are tied? I've been selfishly editing my picks as I can only manually draft up until the Monday. Was ideally trying to get the Sunday night. Monday night may not suit me so I could have to remove my vote for that day which will tie at 9 a piece.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,628 ✭✭✭me89


    Poll is closed, Draft will be Monday the 1st at 10 p.m.

    Takeaway ordered so I can get the last hour in studying for the draft without worrying about mundane things such as making healthy food.

    I should have made a 4 course meal instead :o


    EDIT - having a quick look at the projections (which of course mean everything) looks like I have the highest projection for week 1 somehow with 124.32 so mightn't be just that bad :P


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,137 ✭✭✭Onecoolcookie

    I was picking 15th, you nabbed a couple of players (Gerhart, Tate) just before I was going to. Like the team, lots of lottery tickets on the bench, but no kicker or D?

    Heres my team, forgot how hard it is picking in a 16 team league. I sort of panicked when Golden Tate was taken just before my pick and ended up taking Matt Ryan - was planning on waiting a couple more rounds for a QB

    QB - Matt Ryan
    RB - DeMarco Murray
    RB - Ben Tate
    WR - AJ Green
    WR - Michael Crabtree
    WR - Reggie Wayne
    TE - Zach Ertz
    DEF - Saints
    K - Matt Bryant

    BN - Joe Flacco
    BN - Ahmad Bradshaw
    BN - Lance Dunbar
    BN - Kelvin Benjamin
    BN - Cody Latimer


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,746 ✭✭✭TaosHum


    Got confused with my drafts and thought this one was on tonight :(

    Ended up with


    Tony Romo QB
    Alex Smith QB
    Ronnie Hillman RB
    Marshawn Lynch RB
    Trent Richardson RB
    Khiry Robinson RB
    Donnie Avery WR
    Alshon Jeffery WR
    Jordy Nelson WR
    Kendall Wright WR
    Jared Cook TE
    Stephen Gostkowski K
    Denver D

    Not bad for an auto-draft. Problems at RB though.

    QB-Derek Carr

    RB- Reggie Bush
    RB-Mark Ingram
    WR-Julian Edelman
    WR-Tavon Austin

    Surprised to see someone drop Keenan Allen, especially after he had his best game of the year last week. Should be a great pickup for Team of Gary Breen's

    Yeah, that was me, Stompers. Scraped a win here, I was well down and then Demaryius Thomas goes crazy and scores 35 odd points. Phew!

    That was me. I was drunk. Don't remember doing it :o

    Like waking up with Emile Heskey as your captain in the other fantasy football


  • Registered Users Posts: 394 ✭✭Blured


    Getting Josh Gordon back this week - so could move one of my other WRs. Reggie Wayne, Kelvin Benjamin and new fantasy superstar Jonas Gray all available for trade. Looking for an upgrade at Tight End or Quarterback


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,747 ✭✭✭fisgon


    4 teams this week - that's 25% of the league - haven't bothered to set a full lineup this week, they are starting injured players, players on bye, or have just left a space empty.

    It's not much to ask for people who signed up for a league to take five minutes out of their week to set a lineup. People giving up in week 12 completely distorts the competition and should not be acceptable.


  • Registered Users Posts: 394 ✭✭Blured


    Back to back promotions secured! The Blu York Giants are heading for Division 1.

    Playoffs now set, myself and Ha Ha Monica Loves Clinton Dix get the Week 13 byes, with Warfield Warriors playing the Stompers and The Poontown Pussycats facing off against Los Horseboxos.

    Well played to everyone, was quite a competitive league with everyone in the playoffs 8-5 or better. Pity we had a few inactives, I hope they put up a better effort next year in the lower divisions.

    I actually finished worse (3-10) than the inactives and I can easily say this was my poorest outing in a Boards FF league :o

    Hopefully I get a chance to redeem myself in this division, if there are enough inactives to save me from relegation :-) Best of luck to all in the playoffs!

    Back-back-back promotions for me :cool: Started back in Division 4 the first year it was running and have been promoted every year since I started out in Boards leagues.
    Initially wasn't too happy with my draft but somehow has worked out nicely for me and finished the regular season with top points scored.

    Never have had a bye week before so not entirely sure as to what to do with myself for the weekend now :o


  • Registered Users Posts: 394 ✭✭Blured


    Just posted this in the Playoff Finals thread, but the Division 2 final this year is actually a replay of last year's Division 3 final, myself versus TaosHum. With johnmcdnl also getting promoted from Division 3 last year and securing promotion again this year, looks like we had a good crop promoted last year!
