my eli/shaub/luck combo at QB has been surprisingly efficient. they almost seem to conspire weekly to decide who is going to suck and who is going to perform.

 
Yeah, [David] Wilson's looking like a waste of $9 at this point, even if Bradshaw gets hurt.But it's a long season. I'm still holding out hope that he can contribute at some point. He's one of those guys that could potentially do nothing forever, and then suddenly find himself in a starting role late in the season and carry your team through the final 250.

I was on that one too, except I used Romo vs Manning. But, yeah it seems like they have rose and fallen at different times which has been nice.

Sitting at 170 need Foster to score 40 to break 200 so thats not going to happen.My team avg 171 points a week and that looks like what its going to continue to do.I had a 28 man roster which I put together with survival in mind and the hope that maybe at the end something extreme might happen.Guess large roster is the way to go to negate the injury and bad week by your stud disasters that are sure to happen,but how do you get them to compete in the last 3 weeks? http://subscribers.footballguys.com/contest/2012/109974.php This is my team maybe I should have down graded at QB to pick up one more stud wr or rb.Probably would have to have been a big downgrade though so QB scoring would have sucked.Thinking maybe I will go with the cheapest 4 or 5 qbs next year that are starters and see if I cant get an extra stud at another position that way.

I am a Lloyd owner, but I am not trying to start anything, but I am really curious as to whether the Fumble Recovery TD counts for Lloyd in this contest. Any staff or knowledgable members insight welcome!

 
I think the score for Jaxs D should be 5 instead of 11 even though I could use the points.On a side note why do a lot of folks spell the teh?

99%+ sure that it doesn't count.
Thanks for the feedback. I will be just under 200, and basically my highest score of the year. But still well off the pace. But I still can hold onto a glimmer of hope! :banned: :popcorn: :popcorn:
 
Well I figured I needed(based on past performances)214 points a game to have a fighting chance at this thing.Needless to say that didn't happen.Now I need to avg 233 points a game and since I am a glass is half full kind of guy I believe I can do it.I just need Cecil back that will solve all my problems.

 
Here are your top ten after one week, with roster size:

They can hopefully continue to pace themselves until week 17 when they break out. I will try to keep repping 25+ man rosters; Fred Jackson going down again is a big help. Request for the database gurus if/when you have a chance assuming it is not too much work. I would be interested to see the minimum and maximum spend by position group for the final 250 teams. I am thinking my RB spend ($56) is on the low side of things but curious what the minimum someone was able to get away with.

18-player entries make up 25.1% of all the final 251 entries, but only 16.0% of the top 50 after one week. The full table:
Code:
SIZE	TOP250	TOP50	DIFF18	25.1%	16.0%	0.6419	11.6%	8.0%	0.6920	13.1%	8.0%	0.6121	7.6%	8.0%	1.0622	8.4%	6.0%	0.7223	10.0%	18.0%	1.8124	5.6%	10.0%	1.7925	3.6%	12.0%	3.3526	3.6%	4.0%	1.1227	3.2%	0.0%	0.0028	2.4%	4.0%	1.6729	2.4%	2.0%	0.8430	3.6%	4.0%	1.12
"DIFF" is just "TOP50" / "TOP250", so it measures how over- or under-represented each group is. Values less than one mean they're underrepresented in the top 50, greater than one mean they're overrepresented in the top 50. So it was a rough start for 18-20, good start for 23-25.

This is me. I lost Fred Jackson and probably Dez Bryant this week, and have Arian Foster who it looks like will get some needed rest. Hopefully someone else will pickup the slack, but I'm not holding my breath.

Btw, I was a 27-player entry ;) -QG
 
Question for the database guys (and because I haven't wanted to dig through all 3800+ posts in this thread) - is there a place to get this database or did you have to create it on your own? If available, link?

Created it on my own.

bump for following this thing really closely now.
Post a link to your team so we can sweat you.
:finger:
:confused:
oh. sorry about that. i thought that you were mocking me for a "discuss my team" post.team shaqattaq was huge in week 1 of the finals. the prospect of cashing well in this has me pretty interested in the NFL right about now.
We actually drop the mocking and root for the forum regulars once we're down to 500 or less.
 
looks like i'm back to reality this week.

about 8 less than cdubz team for the combined score.

Losing Harvin definitely comes back to bite this week. Cruz had a bad game, and my 3rd best WR that is left was JSimpson (flyer I took hoping he might be the big play guy in MN) with 6 points. Ugh. Barely at 150 with a RB to go (Gore) basically. And he needs almost 14 points before his count.

Let's hope Hernandez goes off to put some distance on the 236 Non-Hernandez owners.Bironas going off would be nice too, though only 193 without him. Looks like we are both relatively interested in the same outcomes for SNF + MNF, I guess you are a little less interested in Bironas as that would allow me to make a few points relative to you. I guess you make up 1.1 on me if Hernandez goes over 14.4, but I am certainly rooting for this. Would rather have the distance on the field. High Class looks to be right with us and has Hernandez, but no Bironas.

I am going to be over 400 after 2 weeks. So I guess I will still be alive but not sure that I will even be in the Top 50. But I am loving getting to still be in this thing.

How much over 400? 410ish range and you'll have a money shot and be around 20th place?
