Re: The reason Fantasy Football sucks
The best way to run a league and keep excitement going all year long is to do away with matchups each week. If it is a 12 team league, then each week, the top six point getters get a win, the bottom six get a loss.
Then in the playoffs, week 14 top two records get a bye and the next four play, but again no matchups. Top two point getters win and advance to semis, same format. The superbowl is technically the only "matchup" head to head game. This prevents someone from losing a match 105 - 100 and see someone else win 67 - 61 which always pissed me off. |

Re: The reason Fantasy Football sucks

Johnson 8. (72) R. Longwell 9. (89) Cincinnati 10. (92) B. Westbrook 11. (109) Ro. Smith 12. (112) B. Stokley 13. (129) B. Leftwich 14. (132) J. Wilkins 15. (149) M. Campbell |

Re: The reason Fantasy Football sucks
FF sucks because I have Tom Brady and Mike Anderson on my team, and chose to bench them this week, in the playoffs.
Dammit. |

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 |
