Well, the cut line moves, right?
I'm at around 150, but the cut line always moves 5-10 points or something, so pretty sure I'm out this week.

Just calculated my scores by hand. Forgot I had TEN defense
Sitting at ~132.8 so 21 points from Brees isn't tooo much to ask for is it?

This was my worst week so far but, if I scored correctly, I still should be at 175 and change even without Hartley (-0) so I'm good this week.
At least Dwayne Bowe finally counted for me this week.

189.9 this week with Graham (-10.3) to go. Nice weeks from Charles, Dez, Thompkins, and Cameron. Julio and the Washington Def/ST also with good scores (probably one of the only times I'll use Washington D). Need someone/anyone from my RB stable of Lacy/Wilson/Bernard to step up before Charles week 10 bye if I'm going to last.

I dunno I kind of like it can click on it during the games to see where I stand well worth it to me.4.99 doesn't seem like much to me.

Meh. $4.99 for something I enjoy, and certainly could not replicate on my own. I've paid $1.25 a week - I'll gladly toss him a few bones for his product.

It's your prerogative, of course, but for a 16 week season, that works out to like 30 cents a week. It's literally not worth sitting there doing it yourself when there's already a tool that will do it for you automatically for that cheap. Well worth IMO it to support a fellow FBG who spends his own time and money to create it for everyone.

If my MFL league scoring wasn't nearly exactly what the scoring is for the contest I'd pay the 4.99 too. If you don't have the wherewithal to set up a spreadsheet that automatically selects your starters as well as a source for up to the minute scores, OC's product is every bit worth the $5 he's asking, plus you see the cut line moving. In the end he's still probably only making minimum wage for his efforts, it's a LOT more worth than you'd think to calculate the live cut line, I know, I've done it in year's past. There's a reason that FBG doesn't do it for us...It's your prerogative, of course, but for a 16 week season, that works out to like 30 cents a week.

Oh yeah...hello week 5! 195ish and done for the week. And Mr Rice, 1.7 points isn't going to cut it every week!

I'm averaging 215 points per game....with a high of 234 and low of 196.
Is it just me or are we seeing much higher scores with the new scoring system? Seems like a lot of people are throwing up 200+ quite regularly. In the past 625 to 675 over the last three weeks would guarantee that your team was in the money....I'm thinking you will need to be in the 700+ range this year.

Only 2 weeks for the money this year,but yea I bet you will have to score 230 to 240 each week.

28 from Graham, 12 from NO Def, 185 for the week, should be plenty to advance and Graham must have raised the cut line some.

Still Alive, and been in Top 700 most weeks. 220.50 this week, thanks Graham and Cameron. 838.45 points so far with an average of 209.61 a week and a high of 220.60 and a low of 184.80. My first year trying this, looks to stack up pretty good but not sure as the season plays out.
As far as paying the 4.99, I have paid out enough this year for fantasy purposes, I'll check it out on Tuesdays. Maybe not being obsessed with my teams scoring is why I'm still alive. lol

What is the cutoff? My team only scored 166 but it shows I am alive. Is that right?!?

155.95--look just under your score for the week on the page where it shows you're still alive.

I saw it but almost didn't believe it. My QBs could end up my downfall. Only have Bradford and Manuel. Yikes.

231.95 (#178) this week...probably my highest in this contest yet. Woot!
Some surprising contributors (Powell - 3 times, Nate Washington - 3 times). My 3 TEs (Graham, Cameron and J. Thomas) are collectively carrying my team. Pretty even usages from my 3 DEF and 3 kickers.
Reggie Bush has also surprised me. I need Amendola to get healthy and regret going with him instead of Welker. Damn!

Lots of Staff members going out this week: Bloom, Chase, Clayton, Henderson and a couple others. In past years, we'd still be weeding out primarily junk entries. This year the cuts are teams that looked solid to start, but are paying for underachievers/injuries like Wilson, Vereen, Lacy & MJD. The gamble on Gronk is also starting to backfire and burn a lot of teams.

Bloom was the only one with a good team. Looks like the rest of the guys need to purchase a FBG subscription to assist them.

This entry is still alive
By less than 3 points. 
thank you thompkins and Henery.
Fred Davis and David Ausberry were a waste of money, so far Amendola has been too.
Now I'm passed Cam's bye week, so that's good. Really should have checked Bradford's opponent in week 4 when I paired those two up.

Amendola, Lacy, Blount and Bills D/ST are my only bums so far, and I don't regret any of those buys.
My survival odds still look good long-term. I may be a little light at TE.

Still alive although just barely. I really like my RBs and WRs, but think the QBs are going to kill me.
RBs: McCoy, Richardson, Gio, Wilson, J. Bell, Helu
WRs: Dez, Garcon, Hilton, Jeffery, Thompkins, Givens, Hankerson
But my QBs: Bradford, Manual.
Other than one big game from Bradford in week 2, both are averaging around 17 per game.

Survived the cut but will be needing more scrubs to start stepping it up or I won't be surviving much longer.
Note to self ... Load in more players with week 4 byes next year. It think it's easier to survive a zero for a few players early against weaker competition than zeros later against tougher competition. Let the tough competition take the zeros in crunch time.
