    Well done to all those who made the playoffs.

    Fourth & Forever and Sin City automatically get promoted to the Premier league.

    I managed to somehow conspire to miss the playoffs even though I won. Had been fifth going in before this week and here I am today missing out on the last spot! Outscored the whole league by 130 points, but hey that fantasy.

    Best of luck to all in the playoffs.

    Very unlucky, top scorer in the league and missing the playoffs is tough.

    Looking forward to renewing my divisional rivalry with Spongey Hates Flex

    Yes very unlucky.

    I had my worst week of the year (missing Trubisky and Gordon and then McCoy breaking his leg) but got lucky to come out on the right side of the season tiebreakers and points for by 1 point over Oriels to get the bye this week. Hopefully my guys are back after the bye week so my team is competitive again.

    Wouldnt call it a rivalry if i havent won a game against you :cool: Funny thing i've made the playoffs in 3 of my leagues this year and each one im playing the WC match against an opponent who's beaten me in the last 2 weeks of the season. Revenge is coming

    That K***** *unt fella rightly screwed me up at the wrong time but still in the mix

    It's not fantasy at all actually. Most mature leagues use points for as tiebreaker. It's much fairer than other options.

    Disagree, Fantasy football is a week to week game and its about wins and losses and not total points over the season, same as the real game.

    You can’t play defense in fantasy though. Moreover, at the end of the year when teams are tied in the week to week system it is clearly better to split them by the better measure of skill.

    In the real NFL there is a skill to preparing for familiar divisional opponents of course, and biasing tie breakers on that basis but it doesn’t stack up in fantasy. The manager putting up more points over the season has put together a better roster / made superior start / sit decisions and has demonstrated more skill over the course of the year. They deserve to progress where win / loss is tied.

    We can vote on it over the summer anyway.

    I agree completely. Fantasy is a week to week game. You can finish with the second highest score in a week and lose and finish with the second lowest score in a week and win. Thats not fair but its fantasy. I would call it unfair to know that you have beaten someone and they take your playoff spot because they were lucky to avoid injuries all season (not saying Blacque only got highest score cos of no injuries). Luck plays a huge part in fantasy and in my eyes makes it more enjoyable and i say this as the guy with the second highest score of the league.

    I was flying it in first place and confident of getting back to the Premier and then my starting RBs decided to get injured and suspended and now in real danger of a Wild card exit. I dont call it unfair, i call it unlucky and wouldnt have it any other way

    I suppose one of the issues, is that in a 16 team league you don't get to play everybody and that was part of my downfall. In this case where I somehow fell out of the playoff positions after winning, about 30 things had to happen for me to be knocked out and its just hard luck.

    congrats to all who made playoffs. Made a late season push for the playoffs but had to settle for bye in the consolation bracket.

    good luck for the following rounds :)

    Best of luck to the two teams in the Championship final.

    Derrick Henry Flex God surely has the impetus after crushing his last two opponents with 512lb man mountain who runs a 4.4

    Not sure anyone saw this one coming!

    best of luck!

    All hail Derrick Henry, the God of the much hated flex position. Have to start praying to him now along with Lord Jebus.

    Thought my chances in this league blew up when Kareem hunt and kerryon Johnson dropped out. But good ol Derrick carried me to the title. Thought I also blew it when giving Rudolph the weekend off to concentrate on tonight's workload (Santa is a slavedriver apparently)

    Great game sin city whoever you are. Almost pulled it out last night. We'll commiserate in a Vegas casino somewhere. Glad to add division one to my list of honours here. Not won a league here for a few years

    Sin City is me. Match ended up alot closer than I thought it would before the nightcap. I guess Trubisky and my kicker let me down earlier on...that and the fact I didn't have Derrick Henry :)

    Congrats on the win and maybe we'll rematch in the premier division next season...

    saw this on the nfl.com site ..... will this affect our league or are we considered a custom league?

    "NFL Fantasy standard scoring has been updated to PPR (Point-Per-Reception). All NFL-Managed leagues are now PPR. Custom league commissioners can change scoring settings under the Manage tab. Custom leagues returning from previous years will not be impacted by this change."
