We don't want this to be like normally Fantasy Football/Basketball/Other. Basically it is everything that Laley said and just we want to put a huge emphasis on doing research and drafting. It's also why we have the rule about how when you drop a player the player you are picking up must be within 5% of the fantasy PPG on the guy you are picking up. Because we don't want it be "O this guy I drafted sucks... let me pick up this player who is doing awesome that no one expected!" (Although I'd love to do that with Marcus Paige right now fucking never should have trusted a UNC player).

We are going by average and don't worry about losing to Mulva. The head to head is irrelevant and just needed to have the league setup on fantrax.

Plus Mulva will out score everyone by 200 per week.

Mulva is a jerk

Mulva isn't winning this year!

You had me pissed off for a second because I just looked at order of names and thought it was the rankings, and thought "Damn, I'm having a pretty good week, how am I second from last?" lol. Glad to see I'm wrong. And Kadeem Jack better man the fuck up and play a game because my average drops to like 26.5 if I have to have a 0 game in there.

Laley23;1675322 wrote:Exactly. As you see, you can SET a legal line-up, but could get away without playing a shitty player you drafted (most of us are gonna have guys we dont want playing to kill our average). Insert a guy who fills the lineup, but wont play, and then wont hurt the average.

Every position of the 12 should have to play a game, unless the circumstances I laid out earlier take place when we allow the bench player to fill in and take their lowest game (or average for the week, whichever you guys want).

I know nobody is gonna take this method, but it just prevents it from even being a possibility. Too much money on the line this year!!!

Cool, we're on the same page on this even though I may be screwed this week, lol. Jack has 2 games left including a game Sunday so hopefully I'll be alright.

Lol I meant to sort in order but forgot to before I posted it. That's just how the names show up for me when I go to the "live scoring."

I was honestly surprised to see my team doing so well. I knew Paige and Summers had sucked in their games so I was expecting it to be a lot worse.

I seriously hope Cameron Ridley sustains a common sports injury. Add him to my fucking list.

Jordan Reed is by far the worst pick in the history of this league. He got me 2 points tonight. He made 1 basket and had 0s across the board. I watched the game, and he could've had negative points, a few bad passes were saved/charged to teammates.

It's early bro.

He might have to score 35 FPPG the rest of the way to make up for a 2 FPG effort. Has to be the lowest total ever. A bad game in this is still over 10.

Lol... its not the lowest ever I know some guys last year got negative points. And I guarantee he won't be worse than my Kadeem Coleby pick from that year. That dude played the whole year and I'm pretty sure he ended up averaging like 8 FPPG lol.

It does suck watching your WC do terrible and seeing other guys out there who you though of picking doing awesome.

After Briante Webers game tonight, I will have about 120 combined points on my bench. 2 players, 3 games. Ugh.

Both my WC's have sucked so far this week... Juice really killing me. 2 of the others guys I thought about taking instead of him are averaging more PPG than he has gotten in 2 games total lol.

That idiot Purvis better play Thursday. His little suspension is already killing me.

Kentucky's platoon system is going to make all UK players virtually worthless in fantasy terms...

Sucks too. Dakari Johnson's per 40 is 18.8 PPG, 17.5 RPG, 4.31 APG, 3.2 BPG.

My picks that should be my best scorers suck... my 2 WC's are averaging 23.75 and 16.88 FPPG. My 2nd and 3rd round picks are averaging 19.25 and 15.62 FPPG lol so terrible.

Damnit. If i had just played scott instead of that guy who got a 1, id be set

God damnit, nephawe at NM state was such a horrible wild card. He had like 5 FP last night.

Well, I might have the only WC pick who doesn't start.

19 min, 9 min and 19 min in his 3 games. I'm contemplating dropping him for someone suspended at the moment (Troy Williams) and roll with a single WC lol

Is that Reed's minutes? Isn't he a senior this year too? Crazy he was really good last year if I remember right because I thought about taking him. I've thought about doing the same with Juice... he has been awful.

Yep. Apparently something about them winning 5 games has them going a different route. He is coming off the bench and said he is taking a back seat this season in hopes of more wins lol. Fuck me.
