Imagine if you had the one and only winning entry, until you blindly posted your lineup here. I don't understand the logic. If you knew what the winning lotto numbers were gonna be, would you share that info too?

Damn. And this whole time my strategy was to wait until taylorj99 posted his roster and steal it. Guess I'll have to find a plan B.
 
Village Idiots:QB – Trent Green/Gannon/Eli Manning – 30RB – Suggs/Chris Brown/Griffin/Wheatley/Moe Williams – 87WR – D. Jackson/Lloyd/D. Bennett/A. Davis/D. Stallworth/C. Rogers/ Porter – 103TE – Witten/Kinney – 11PK – Akers/Carney – 11D – Vikings/Redskins – 8Total = 250

 
Why do you guys think that people are going to run out and immediately copy your lineups if you post them? That's just a tad arrogant. No one wants to copy your precious lineup.

Who here has the winning entry? You? Me?Your point doesn't really hold water because none of us knows what the winning lineup will be. I'll give you the numbers I am playing in this weeks lotto and the games I will be betting on this week. Does that do you any good at all?Everyone here is smarter than I.
 
American Psychopaths:$32 - Steve McNair, David Carr, AJ Feely$108 - Duce Staley, Chris Brown, Brian Westbrook, Moe Williams, Tony Hollings$76 - Jerry Porter, Brandon Lloyd, Charles Rogers, Larry Fitzgerald, Reggie Wayne, Andre Davis, Eric Parker$12 - Desmond Clard, Antonio Gates$8 - Josh Brown, Shayne Graham$14 - New England, St. Louis--------$250

 
When is the contest deadline?was it early THIS morning? (deadline already passed)ORis it tonight at midnight?

Actually, that makes the win that much sweeter. you GAVE everyone the answer - they just did not recognize it - :eek: that is one sahrky kind of moveQB - Green / Fiedler / Warner - $24RB - McCalister / Westbrook / Suggs / J. Jones / L Jordan - $151WR - Smith, R / Rogers / Fitzgerald / Davis, 3000 / Bennett, D / Terrell / Taylor - $57TE - Gates / Manamanuela - $8PK - Graham / Cundiff - $4D - ST. Louis / Detroit - $6OK, so MAYBE this isn't the winner.........
 
What is the chance that every team gets a free pass to week 2? I know it has to do with the number of entries(subscribers)...maybe Dodds can comment on this?I assume that every subscriber will submit a team.

The cut is at 12,000. Last year we had 8,113 entries. Early this week (before I sent the announcement last night to all subscribers), we had about 6,000 entrants.If we have fewer than 12,000 entries then everyone is safe.If I were a betting man....David

How sad is it that after fully reading the rules it was only after reading this thread that i realized I had been optimizing my team for only $200.Had a kick-a** $200 team though....sheesh.

Too bad there's no week 1 NFL byes!! :P
 
Im so glad the deadline is tonight, I would probably change my rosters 10 more times if given another day.QB - 24$RB - 114$WR - 85$TE - 13$K - 6$Def - 8$

 
I'm totally clueless on this thing so I just threw this together in about 10 mins:Figured I'd get 1 top RB, 1 top WR and then all flyers after that.QB - Palmer/McCown/Carr - $22RB - Portis/Jordan/Rhodes/Suggs/ATrain - $107WR - Moss/Stallworth/Driver/Northcutt/Bennett/Bradford/Parker - $101TE - Dallas Clark/Franks - $11PK - Edinger/Lindell - $4DST - Cin/Den - $5

 
The madness will stop tonight! I have tweaked this thing 100 times. With changes to TE, D and K that will not even mater in the end. Real stumper of a contest.qb -$33RB - $122WR - $67TE - $10K - $7D - $11Can't wait to get the check and put in my order for a new bass boat!Shouldn't the winner be required to spend part of the money on one of the big Vegas FFB leagues. Kind of like WSOP... :thumbup:

First bye you lose?

Based on the weekly cutdowns then if we only have 6000 entries we are all through to week #5. Does this sound right?

 
Is there anyone who doesn't have Chris Brown or David Carr?Sheesh. I'm almost tempted to go back and go against the grain in a few places.It is interesting though, to see who everyone deems as bargains. I still auction one team tomorrow. Looks like DJAX is appearing on more squads than I would have thought. Better take another look at him.

 
Beagle's winner! T Green Carr Harington Rudi Johnson C Brown Q Griffin Suggs Pittman C Rogers A Johnson Plaxico Terrell Driver E Parker Porter Manumaleuna Kinney J. Brown K. Brown HoustonSeattle

 
Ok - I'm done. Finally!

QB: Favre, Pennington, Gannon

RB: Westbrook, C. Brown, Alstott, M. Williams, Fargas

WR: A. Johnson, Branch, Fitzgerald, Lloyd, Rogers, McCareins, Stallworth

TE: Gates, Witten

K: Hanson, K. Brown

Def: Denver, Carolina

Why my team has a chance at this thing...

* All three of my QB's have a shot at the top 10.

* Westbrook and Brown were the best value at the lowest price. IMO Alstott is in for a big season, Moe will catch 40-50 recs and he'll rush for some yards too. Fargas is the darkhorse and if he emerges out of Oakland, I could have one helluva team

* Can you build a stronger WR corps with this cap stranglehold? Solid all the way through.

* Gates - I'm hoping he can prove me right. Witten is the lone TE in a Bill Parcels offense. Parcels has a history of getting good production from his TE's.

* Hanson and K. Brown are casualties of running out of $, yet they are still serviceable and both are on budding offenses.

* Denver and Carolina will produce top 10 in sacks each. Both should have adequate turnover ratios too.

 
I have dropped and picked up Tyrone Calico a half dozen times today...I am looking forward to the deadline...I have probably had half the NFL players on my roster at least one time...QB - 50 Pepper, Palmer and WarnerRB - 138 Rudi, Brown, Westbrook, Suggs, QDogWR - 40 Total potential here, not a stud among them but lots of hopeTE - 10 Gates and J. StevensPK - 6 Rackers and KasayDEF - 6 Pittsburgh and Denver, value for the money250 on the nose...

We have very similar teams but I decided to go with more depth at RB (although very expensive) and have T. Jones and J. Jones. Julius has more potential than Moe over the whole season so I went with him. That really hurt me at WR and I wanted Andre Johnson. I like McNair a lot and he's not much of an injury risk (to put it mildly). I didn't want to go too cheap on the TE, K and D since it didn't take much to get one of the top guys. QB - $36 (Carr, Delhomme, McNair)

RB - $113 (Fargas, Julius Jones, Thomas Jones, Chris Brown, Westbrook)

WR - $65 (Eric Parker, Terrell, Rogers, Fitzgerald, Stallworth, McCareins, Lloyd)

TE - $15 (Freddie Jones, McMichael)

K - $11 (Vanderjagt, Hanson)

DEF - $10 (Rams, Eagles)

Depth at WR and RB, but there's a good chance that a lot of your team will not be playing by the end of the season (Gannon, Warner, Wheatley, Griffin). There's a lot of downside to those guys so it's a risky way to go.
 
My weak RB's will probably lead to an early exit.QB- Plummer, Delhomme, RattayRB- K. Jones, Brown, Griffin, S. Jackson, AlstottWR - K. Robinson, R. Smith, Lloyd, Rogers, Kev. Johnson, Bennett, ParkerTE - Jones, ClarkK - Carney, M. GramaticaD - Washington, Minnesota

 
I think most teams are going to be similar. There will be a lot of common FBG's and value players on teams. Here's mine:Pennington, Harrington, Carr (15/7/6, 28)Rudi, C. Brown, Westbrook, Suggs, Jackson (40/32/31/15/11, 129)Walker, McCareins, Fitzgerald, Stallworth, Rogers, Rice, Parker (22/14/11/10/9/4/2, 72)Gates, Stephens (6/4, 10)Cundiff, Graham (2/2)Vikings, Bengals (5/2, 7)The common players picked so far are Brown, Westbrook, Suggs, Fitz, Rogers, Parker.

Who's the seventh WR?

If I remember correctly last years winner had a stud QB (Manning) and stud RB (LT)...And he went with "potential" at the WR position...I tried the same with Pepper as my stud QB and "potential" at WR...My big diversion, from that strategy, is that I selected good but not studly RB's because if I can get 2 out of 5 to score on any given weekend, I should be looking good...I looked at getting LT but did not see a good fit with his salary unless I wanted to take McGahee, Pittman and Hollings as 3 of the RB's...Also realize that you have to do something different from the other thousand contestants to win... At least that was the thought behind my picks...Edited to add: Did anyone spend less than $40 on wide receivers?

Don't forget Carr, I think he's on every team.I'm one of the few that didn't get Suggs since I think J. Jones has more upside and a much easier schedule.

He did have Manning but got him for only $17. I think the winner this year will have a QB in the $15-$20 range. I thought McNair was a good bet, but also like Favre, Pennington, Brady and Green.
