Re: The reason Fantasy Football sucks
I'm in two leagues, one based solely on record (I miss the playoffs with a 6-8 mark despite a 60% winning percentage in Breakdown, and the #4 point total, and leading the league in scoring 3 times), and one we do half & half. We keep head to head records and have playoffs. Some $$ is applied to this. Also some goes to the top 4 point scorers for the entire season (17 weeks).
If I had my ultimate league, we'd have 14 weeks of just scores, then the top however many scorers would make the playoffs and play it off head to head. Of course I may just be bitter because I've been in 6 head to head only leagues and have NEVER finished at or above my scoring position, except one year where I was #1 in scoring where 4 teams made the playoffs and I was the 1 seed. The 4 seed was the #2 scoring team and posted the highest score of the season on me. Variance is a bitch.

Re: The reason Fantasy Football sucks
One of the many reasons I prefer a points race. Especially if it runs through the Super Bowl- makes draft strategy interesting trying to grab productive players who will also make the playoffs.

Matchups > total points
[ QUOTE ]
The real reason Fantasy Football sucks is that a team can finish 2nd in points(my team) and finish 5th and miss the playoffs to a 4th place team who scored the least points in the whole league.(12 team league!!!) [/ QUOTE ] This isn't how real football works. Why should FF be any different? *BRAG POST* First time playing FF...going to the finals this week! And after the week I had (Brady, T. Barber, C. Dillon) I like my chances. If I had started Cooley instead of Shockey and PIT instead of DEN, I probably would have posted an all-time high score for my league. Good luck everyone! ScottieK

My league had a team that was fifth or sixth (out of ten) in points scored but second in record against other teams. But that's okay, I smacked him around by 40 points this week. Going to the finals, baby! ScottieK

No, fantasy football sucks b/c a RB w/ 100 yards and 0 TDs scores fewer points that a fullback that gets a one-yard TD plunge on his only carry. [/ QUOTE ] Not in most leagues...
