First trade of the Fantasy season

[CleveTown™]

Abe wanted one less player on each team, so I looked around the league and plucked the worse guy who would be on waiver right now.

Abe is crying becase he can't have his whack at:

Mejri
Jameer Nelson
Bradon Wright
Sefolosha
Marcus Morris
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute

etc.
etc.

You're so delusional

[CleveTown™]

Clevey running his fantasy league the way he runs Pop! English?

that's right, it's succeeding beyond my wildest dreams!

[CleveTown™]

Maybe. But I don't know what it has to do with this thread.

People have already read my critique of your league. Rehashing it over and over again probably is more annoying than anything.

But at the same time, we're seeing how that critique is even more relevant now that the league really is more about attrition than anything else because there is almost zero strategy at this point beyond exchanging one crappy bench guy for another crappy bench guy off waivers just to get more games played.

Not my fault. I warned you before the draft this would happen.



[Note: There. That better?]

lol, what exactly is happening? If you dont like your team or players make a trade. I plucked Mitchell off the waivers and he's turning out to be a gem. Either get more active (which in these settings you have to be with no waivers, weird you say it's a set it and forget it league) on the Waivers or make a trade. Don't sit there and cry about it.

Huh?

I am fine with my players. My point is that there's nothing to do. There are literally no decisions to be made day after day... week after week. I don't think there's been a single time I had to make a choice between starting a player or sitting one. THAT is what I meant by a game of attrition. Literally, you simply plug in every guy every time he plays.

It's boring if I'm being honest. But it's how it's set up. So it's what we'll keep doing. Just something to note... no reason to be triggered by the observation that it's boring and you're solely responsible for that.

So what would you have done differently? This is how Fantasy is played.

I bet Abe's typing up a doozy right now. ferociously slapping away at that keyboard.

Simply have less players start every day. Pretty simple really.

Even the yahoos over at MCS know this.

In your league... 11 out of 13 players qualify every night. In that league... 8 out of 12. It at least adds SOME strategy to the league. As it is... we can set out lineups and check back on Sunday. That's fine. Some might prefer it actually. There's just a lot less to do. You just have to hope your team has fewer injuries, and more games, I guess.

Ok. Been there, done it, and hated it. Nothing worse than having to sit someone like Lou Williams and he goes off for 35 points with 6 3's like he did a few nights ago. That just brings headaches.

That's luck, no one can "foresee" or strategist Lou not playing well on a particular night. My settings take the luck out as much as possible, you don't regret sitting someone, and for some one like me (and I'm sure there's more people than just me) it's great entertainment to watch all your guys play.

In my league the best team wins. Not the fish who chose to play Dieng of all people on a particular night and recorded 5 blocks to win you the cat. on Sunday night.

Sure. Makes sense. War of attrition... no strategy at all. Just like I said.

Get triggered.

[Buckets]

This is why you’re in last place.

No, the new NBA scheduling is why im in last place. I keep losing cats by a few stats because im just not playing as many guys as the other team

I didn’t really notice this until this week. Buckets was playing at least 2 more people than me each day, some days it was as many as 4-5 and I had to keep adding people to narrow the gap. But it will even out and I’m sure there will be weeks where you play more than your opponent as well.

Yea I'm going to get burned on GP this week

I was surprised how easy the difficulty was set on Cleve's league given he's played many years. Lots of starters and no waivers? There's really no reason to check daily....

So am I for the second week in a row....like I said, the league changing the scheduling to placate the pussy generation has things all fucked up. To the point where you almost need to "think" about making each match up 2 weeks long. A majority of 3 game weeks...4 at the most. You have a stud playing a 3 game week...and it contains a B2B...they will look for reasons to sit them 1 of those to give them a HUGE "breather"...it's already happening. Then you get 2 fuckin games out of a guy...?
