Bless you, whoever dropped Thomas Rawls during the week!

You are welcome!

To be fair at that stage I didn't know that Lynch was out and I needed an RB desperately. I had kept Rawls so long in the hope that Lynch would get injured :mad::mad:.

Dodge · 23-11-2015 12:08PM

Yeah, it happens every year. You hold on to a player for ages and then have to let him go and he pops. I'd bet there isn't a fantasy player around who hasn't had that happen to him

Is there any hope for 7&6 to get into the wildcard? Still hoping for a miracle and to win my division!!

Outside chance but looks like the 2 wild card spots will have 7 wins after this week so they'd only need one win to secure that last spot (they're both on course to win this weekend).

Both of the 5-5 teams look set to lose to give those wild card spot holders a bit of breathing room too

Trippie · 23-11-2015 05:31PM

9 points up and he has amendola left to play. Going for 3 in a row. I havn't won these games when I am not the top scorer. Boom or bust so far this year.

f1dan · 23-11-2015 09:11PM

I'm 20 points ahead going into tonight. I need to win to snap a 4 game losing streak and try to stave off relegation.

I have Tyrod Taylor, I'm up against Gronk and Blount.

I'm a Pats fan.

I don't know what emotion to feel.

I'm a Pats fan too and I know exactly how I should feel. Go Gronk!!! Go Blount!!!

Things are much clearer now after Week 11.

NORTH DIVISION

Oh Look An Eagle 8-3
Lucan Liverbirds 7-4
Bye Week 5-6
Fourpenny 3-8

OLAE has clinched a play off spot. Liverbirds need one win to confirm their own play off spot and can even win the division. Bye week still in hunt but Fourpenny eliminated and in relegation trouble

SOUTH

Slingtown Lions 8-3
Spawn of Spongey 5-6
Dublin Blades 5-6
Corrigeen Crusaders 3-8

Lions have clinched the division. Spongey and Blades need to win out and hope for losses from the current WC holders. Crusaders eliminated and currently bottom

EAST

Legends of Foxboro 8-3
Inchicore Warriors 7-4
Better than the Lions 4-7
Team Dan 4-7

Legends clinched a play off spot. Warriors need one win to confirm a play off spot and 2 wins will win them the division (they play Legends in Week 13). Lions and TD are eliminated

WEST

West Coast Coolers 8-3
Dundalk Oriels 5-6
Porto Jags 4-7
Jenner's Jockstraps 4-7

WCC clinch the division. Oriels need to win out and have losses elsewhere. Jag & Jockstraps eliminated and in trouble

So congrats to West Coast Coolers, Legends of Foxboro, Slingtown Lions and Oh Look An Eagle on qualifying for the play offs

Trippie · 24-11-2015 03:44PM

Such a cruel game at times. 4th highest amount of points scored this year and looking at possible relegation. Season may rest upon freeman concussion and being sidelined this week.

Raoul · 24-11-2015 04:04PM

Better than the Lions didn't put on a full team against my rival

Dodge · 24-11-2015 04:12PM

Presume they were hoping Floyd would be fit and/or didn't want to get rid of him for a one week fill in.

Wouldn't have mattered looking at the paucity of WRs that were available on Sunday

I thought Floyd was out pretty early, maybe not

. Still annoying. There were a few flyers on the wire that could have given him a chance.

'Wouldn't have mattered' doesn't excuse anything.

I just looked at his bench and he had Brandon Coleman on a bye week who was easy to drop, Peyton Manning who won't play against this season and a Bears D he wasn't playing against Denver and who face Green Bay next week.

He had plenty of players that he could have dropped to bring in a WR.

D3PO · 24-11-2015 04:59PM

hang on you cant tell who and when somebody should deploy their players. They have been active its not for you to dictate they drop Coleman or Manning or the Bears.

Its one thing being inactive and a team having IAs , byes etc as a result of that its quite another telling an active team how to manage their roster.

in another league this year I went without a TE in one match because I didn't want to drop any of my bench guys and my TE was on a bye. That was my prerogative, if somebody had told me I should have dropped x or y id have told them where to go.

I didn't say it excused anything. I merely pointed out that there's no point in Raoul getting upset about the team playing his "rival" as the result would not have changed

Their 2 WRs still outscored my 3 FWIW

JCTO · 24-11-2015 05:06PM

If he decided not to drop people and pick an inferior team that is his call really. I have done it in the past not wanting to drop guys to bring in guys just to fill bye weeks or inactives.

I'm not particularly upset (just pointing it out for future reference to see if he plays out the season or not, important for consideration for next years league), but when a person doesn't put in a full team it is annoying. Everyone should try to the best of their ability until the last game. Regardless if they are out or not.

I just realised that Morris was actually injured in the first quarter against the Panthers. So only one player short of a full team.

Yeah but..that is acceptable when you have too many good players. I did it in the Madden league just this week. Basically gave the other guy a win, bit annoying for other people and I apologised for it. But I was well within my rights to do so as I already have a playoff spot and I couldn't afford to drop anyone to pick up replacements.

There are no rules that say when it is or when it is not acceptable to do it.

Nobody has any right to judge somebody elses decision. Lets say for arguments sake he had had Rawls warming his bench and dropped him for a wr fill. hed be very pissed off at that decision just to feel like he made his team acceptable to others in the league.

You manage your own team and once you do it actively that's it period, nobody has the right to call you lineup decisions into question when you are active period.

Yeah if he had Rawls and a good bench then it would be acceptable but he has a very poor bench and he has players to drop so there really is no excuse.

I'm not saying it would have made a difference to the outcome either. It's the lack of activity which is an issue. It's unfair to other players if he has just kinda decided that the season is over and doesn't care anymore.

Just seeking clarification on this. How have you come to the conclusion that Warriors wins if he wins both games? He is a game behind and lost the first meeting between the teams.

In your opinion he has a poor bench. Last week its fair to say most people would say that Rawls was a poor bench player not so now.

Where is the lack of activity an issue ? Hes been active so there is no valid activity argument here.

its also kinda unfair when an NFL team puts in their 5th round rookie QB for the last few weeks, or a team with a playoff bye puts in its backups for the last game or two of the regular season either to see what they have to or to protect their star players from injury and possibly impacting other teams but it happens and it influences results.

Were not talking about a team of IAs or bye week players were talking about 1 WR slot with no active player, this isn't somebody throwing games for the sake of it or dropping star players or doign dodgy trades to influence the playoffs etc

theres no charge to answer here as far as im concerned.

I didn't say there is a charge to answer but it's clear that one person is not taking the game as seriously as they would if they were in contention.

There are droppable players on his bench.

How is it clear? Are you a mind reader? Did he tell you he wasn't taking it serious or as serious as the rest of us now he is not in contention? I have droppable players on some of my teams across the fantasy world. Just means there was nobody worth bringing in or I missed out on waivers but everyone has there reason. I honestly think you are being unfair to him without getting the full story.

He has players on his bench that nobody would be picking up off of the waiver wire, Peyton Manning being a prime example, the Chicago Bears dst being another.

I bring in players every week that are FA's, basically taking a flyer on them for bye weeks or just to gamble that a guy is going to have a good run and drop players who are not doing it and aren't worth holding on to.

He put Malcolm Floyd into his lineup on Friday even though the reports all week were that he did not practice and on Friday it was announced that he would not play Sunday.

He made no changes after Friday.

You can try and justify this all you want but without him telling us what is going on you cannot assume either way and make up your own mind.

I forgot that we had played already. I was going on a simple win the last two and have the head to head advantage. Didn't bother checking earlier results

maybe he likes the bears D ? Why should he drop Manning ?

he put Floyd into his team ergo he was active. Perhaps he wasn't able to get online between Friday and Sunday due to real life issues.

The fact is everything your saying is opinion. Just because you run one FA strategy doesn't mean its the right one.

As somebody who struggled for WRs earlier this year I can tell ya that the WR FA market has been a pile of ****e this year.

Why should he take a flyer on somebody out there and drop a guy whom somebody else could pickup to take a flyer on the following week if he likes their potential to help at some point ?

Were all entitled to run our own strategies and shouldn't have to defend them. The only issue here would be if he was inactive as per the charter in which case this would be the end of him ni the league that's not the case.

as for losing interest, that's what relegation is there to protect against. If and we don't know he has lost interest well then its going to cause him to be relegated so the issue wont reoccur, but none of us know that to be the case.

Can someone explain the rankings? I'm 14th and on the same record as a few teams but have a better points differential, both for scored and conceeded. Is it head to head but what about teams that havent played each other?

I took a look at it there it appears to me like they rank it as follows:
1-4 = Division leaders
5-8 = 2nd in divison
9-12 = 3rd in division
13-16 = bottom in division

Both yourself (Jenners Jockstrap) and Team Dan have 4-7 records but he is ranked above you due to beating you in Week 4.

* The above is just guesswork on my part but looks like it checks out.

Raoul · 30-11-2015 01:23AM

****e....so does head to head count? If so that means that I am out
