The LD predicted that I would score 191 pts this week. I only changed 1 thing it told me......I started FWP and it told me to start Lamont Jordan but showed that they would score the exact same points. Willie finished with 27pts and Lamont with 22.
Finished with 188pts........seems pretty accurate to me.

the LD predicted I would score 89 and my opponent would score 88. Reality was my opponent scored 101 and I scored 63

LD: 122.3 me - 113.8 him
ACTUAL: 112.4 me - 95.5 him
No changes in lineup. I would have named the same starters

It said 94-92 in advantage to me. Final was 89-86 and I won. Sounds good but it recommended starting the DET DF over TB which nearly cost me with them scoring -5 vs. 11 respectively. I have to admit however, I would have set the lineup the same.
It is a good tool if only to decide tough matchups based on strength of schedule and to watch the strength of teams in your league ebb and flow during the course of the season. *I LOVE IT*.

LD said I would win 141 - 130 and that's with me going with Chambers instead of the reccomended M. Muhammad.
I lost 166-107!!
I guess it's kind of hard to predict McNabb's 5TD's & 342 yds.
It didn't predict K. Jones correctly or T. Jones. I ended up having T. Jones 25 pt day on my bench while getting 1 pt from K. Jones.....

How do i look at waiver players with the program with regard to whether they would benefit my team?

1) Ensure all teams are up to date.
2) Go to trade analyzer.
3) Hit <F5> to bring up the value numbers.
4) Click the "Top Waivers" button.
5) Pick the position of interest and compare. If their value is higher, and you have an immediate need (as I did) then they might be worth picking up.
Good luck.

My result was quite a ways off, but I can't really blame LD for not foreseeing this:
Kevin Jones 1.08 pts.
Willis McGahee 1.36 pts.
Marvin Harrison 1.44 pts.
Tony Gonzalez 1.76 pts.

my teams are performing way under expectations. had i played the lions defense in week one instead of nyj, i would have won. last week we had a dhdr week and if i had played the jets instead of the lions i would have split. these are in my big league. being 0-3 means i am basically cooked already. just not getting any TD's. drafted 12th and the crux of my roster is:
leftwich, brooks
j. jones, k. jones, dunn, c. taylor, and perry picked up for the dropped k. faulk
branch, lelie, lloyd, mccareins, jenkins
gonzales, putzier
nyj, det
elam, stover
overall roster is pretty decent but wr and qb is not strong
league has strange scoring with TD's 10-39 yds are 1.5x and 40+ are 2x
running and rec. yds / 10= 1pt and passing yds / 20 = 1pt
guess i'll just hang in there and see how it does

I too have been disappointed with the lineup dominator. Based on the team strengths shown in the lineup dominator I have the strongest team in the league overall. I am currently in last place in my 12 team league. The team that was projected to have the worst starting lineup is the highest scoring team in the league and since we play 2 games per week he is 6-0. I also must say that I used the trade dominator last year with similar results. Although I did eventually lose in our super bowl it took the Monday night miracle by Drew Bennett just to get me into the playoffs. I do like the effort and the products offered here. I just wish that their player rankings were a little more accurate.

2 leagues...
League #1
LD says I win 56-41
Actual: I win 51-44
Pretty good, except I left Steve Smith on the bench in favor of Darrell Jackson

(but I'll take the win)
League #2
LD says I win 62-55
Actual: I lose 50-48.
Oh well, almost pulled it out last night with Trent Green and Asley Lelie but no luck.
Overall I'm happy with LD, mostly for the quick and easy waiver pickup advice. My starting lineup isn't too hard to pick, except for my weekly Plummer/Vick decision at QB.
Although I wish it would be updated earlier, since my waivers run Thursday morning.

Actual: I win 152 to 150
League #2
LD says I win 102-96

In both cases, LD matched cheetsheets which matched my gut feel...

LD has been wrong all three weeks in my money league. Mixed results in my other leagues (20-30% success). Overall I give LD (and the associated rankings a D-). THe trade tool keeps it from an F, although I realize that too relies on the same projections.
LD seems to do ok with my points each week, but underestimates the other teams points by about 1/2.

Anything tricky about your scoring system? Something that doesn't matchup quite right? Keep in mind that Week 3 was kind of a crazy week with LT, Alexander, Steve Smith, Westbrook all going crazy... and other guys being very quiet like Moss, Manning, etc...

No tricky scoring. We don't use 1/50 (decimal) scoring, we use yd for points (Whole numbers with some 1/2 points thrown in). That is not the problem though. The problem is that my FBG WR7, WR10 and WR14 never score any points. THe other consistant factor is that my opponents seem to score about 50 to 100% more tan FBG projects. You wipe out the previous weeks score with each update, so I can not give you any numbers.
I would right it off to bad luck, but this is happening in three of my four leagues. All of the leagues have different scoring systems.
