I picked every Bronco worth owning plus Aaron Rodgers and Jordy. That's my super bowl setup. I chose Flacco, Torrey, Steve Smith, Ravens Def, Detroit kicker to get thru the opening round hopefully still alive. I'm glad to accumulate Ravens for the next round.

You do realize only 2 of those Ravens count. Right?

Oh well then. I guess I gotta hope for a ton of Detroit fgs.

No Gresham or AJ today... is there a tool to see % of players owned?

Ouch. Hurts Dalton a lot too, though he's probably not widely owned.

Best case scenario he has 6 players. Not enough to win it, but hey, he got there (maybe). Good enough for an "attaboy"

 

[Anarchy99]

The challenge is to a) get the right teams in the SB b) have the greatest number of players in the SB and c) scoring just enough points to get through the first two rounds.

Wow.

Ok.

 

[Raback]

I think people basing things off of last years results are going to be in trouble, as the pricing is significantly different. That will definitely change cut lines and number of players teams having going in the Super Bowl. Last year we had teams with 14,13,12,etc. That will be very hard to do this year and actually have enough to get to the Super Bowl.

Also I notice a lot of people saying they have like 12 guys for the Super Bowl but like 5 of them may be guys who haven't scored in weeks like Starks, Bolden, Turbin, etc. I only have 8 going for the Super Bowl if my teams make it, but almost all are studs.

 

[Anarchy99]

I didn't realize I was posting anything either new or controversial. The fact of the matter is that people with more players and or more dollars invested that make it to the super bowl will have a greater chance of winning. Basic math will tell us that.

Looking for a Cowboys/Patriots SB, with 12 players from those teams. I'm counting on two Cowboys, plus Sanu, Herron, Moncrief, and D-Will getting me to the Divisional round.

Exactly. No knock on Anarchy at all

 

[champ24]

Seems like every FBG playoff contest email I got talked about a $200 entry fee this year.

So #^*$%^ awesome that I missed out on this

 

[rustycolts]

Well guess I will be around 82 points hope thats enough.

 

[QuizGuy66]

54.65 and done.

I don't think that'll be enough.

Will suck if 62.75 would be enough (Fozzy/Dickson instread of Fells).



-QG

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Going to easily hit the cut this week. Almost every "peripheral player" I chose to get me through scored this week....

...unfortunately I also picked the wrong team from the AFC to keep advancing, so it isn't going to matter. :( May make one more cut, with my bye week teams being added to the mix now, but that's as far as it'll go.

Oh, well. Was fun while it lasted this year.

 

[BassNBrew]

Roughly 62 points.

 

[KingPrawn]

52.6 points. Afraid it's not going to be good enough.

Got nothing from Dunbar, Jaron Brown and Philly Brown leaving early hurt.

 

[joffer]

[ConstruxBoy]

In at 71. Would have had 113 if I hadn't made the last minute changes.

ETA: Forgot about Hill.

 

[Ariakis]

I decided this morning that the Bengals would lose but of course too late to ignore the anti Colts hype entering the weekend. Also put my eggs in Pitt surviving Bal and then upsetting Den with Bell back ...best laid plans ... I'll get through this week but probably won't get to dance in the Superbowl even if the Cowboys/Pats do meet. Hope Philly Brown plays and Anderson and Lynch both miss time ...

[1rebmun]

looks like 70.25

Luck, Herron, G. Olsen, G. Tate ony four to count

J. Randle wasted pick, figured he would have gotten 3-4 points and maybe a lucky td

if I make it, will have 6 counting for next week, then need Carolina upset and Indy upset

 

[Aurren]

I remember when this had way more entries than this year and players were a lot cheaper. With only 4710 entries, of which I think I counted at least 10 FBG staff entries, which leaves around 700 entries to be cut. That's < 15% of the field. My guess is that the cut line will be low, like below 30 pts, due to the low amount of entries and the high salary pricing, and also based on a relatively low scoring week in general. A QB and another decent player should be good enough.

 

[(HULK)]

Cutoff was 50.6

 

[(HULK)]

I made it through with my 11 player NE/GB superbowl team. However, with Detroit and Pittsburgh not advancing, I don't think I'll survive next week:

Golden Tate $11 20.90

 

[rockaction]

Easily in. Bet on DET/NE.

But I will be done. It's a shame, because I think they were loaded and ready to make a run, even in SEA. What a joke.

Had Luck, Hilton, and Lacy as second and third week guys. Might have had a shot.

This was the team. Yikes, I think it was good.

barely made it!

 

[Spin]

Went with a 12 player NE/Dal Superbowl + Antonio Brown.

Figured DAL + Brown would be enough for the first week. Then expected Dal + NE + Brown for the 2nd week to get me into the championship games round (woops).

Hopefully the money I spent on Brown won't come back to bite me, considering I had JStew + Gano at first, but swapped it for Brown thinking he'd outscore both in the first two rounds. Oh well. Still liking my chances at this point, although Dal/NE seems to be a common combo in this thread.

 

[Spin]

Still baffles me that the majority of the staff lineups have 0 chance of winning this thing with how they set it up.... You'd think that at the very least the staff members would know how this contest works... right??

 

[Raiderfan32904]

In no way am I tooting my own horn for barely making the cutoff, that's when you know you did this right. Getting the maximum from the minimum and saving your designated Superbowl players on the shelf is how to load up the scenarios in your favor. The way the crazy high salary costs came out this year, my 9 projected Superbowl starters might not even be enough. The only way to leverage your roster is to pray 3 or 4 of your wildcard players can pull you up over the cut line. And If you don't make it thru the first round, it wouldn't matter anyway because chances are somebody has you covered for the final game.

 

[shader]

If I had known the cutoff would be so low, I would have structured my roster far differently.

I basically have a Seattle vs NE super bowl team, but I think I hedged my bets a bit too much in other areas, and that there will be other NE/SEA teams with more players out there.

Lost Martavis, so will have 10 players for the next round.

The staff has their own contest against themselves. Given that they only have to beat a few staffers compared to a few thousand subscribers, they use a little different strategy.
