I really liked my team when I was confident in NO going to the SB. now...not so much.

 

[Hurl Bruce]

I know last year I planned too much for the end game and not the beginning. I had a great team for round 2 and on, but not good enough for round 1.

 

[Mik789fl]

I am assuming it is the same rules for positions.1 qb2 rb3 wr1 te1 flex1 def1 k?????

◦Aside from the cap, there are no roster limits or positional requirements at all. Take only five players, or take 40. Take all QBs, or take none. It's up to you.

So if you have say 15 guys on your team all different positions the top 5 will count?

It's really eaiser to just read the rules. Not being a smart ###, but it will put you a huge leg up.

O.K.,I read the rules,maybe I missed it somewhere,but how many players actually count towards the point total?

You should read the rules again. Doug went out of his way to make this extraodinarily clear.

 

[bcat01]

You want to have two players from as many teams as possible so they all count.

 

[simey]

Look at the rules again, and pay close attention to a part of a sentence that is in all capital letters and bolded.

 

[Modog814]

Ok, finalized my team and I don't plan on changing it before kickoff. Looking forward to discussing strategy on this one.

 

[TheChairman]

I'm stuck waffling between putting a Super Bowl lineup in and working backwards, or putting in a survival lineup and working forward.

 

[Zegras11]

1 qb

4 rb

8 wr

2 te

4 k

19 players.

Based on sympathy for a 4-digiter:If your roster has 2 guys from all 12 teams in the playoffs, you get all the points any of them score. If your roster has 7 Patriots and 7 Saints because you know they will play in the Super Bowl, you will get the points scored by the 2 highest scoring guys on each team each week until the Super Bowl, when you get all the points scored by everyone on your roster and win the contest. Then you will pay me a 33% commission for explaining the rules to you.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Going with a roster of 60 as of right now...

-QG

 

[JB Breakfast Club]

4 QB

3 RB

6 WR

2 TE

2 Def

 

[Txns8]

Tweak 347:

3 QB

2 RB

7 WR

4 TE

Got a NO/NE Super Bowl mix going.

 

[BassNBrew]

The hardest part of this is projecting what score I'll need in week one to advance. Figuring on a 50% cut (excludes junk entires) in week one based on people not reading the rules. I've got a couple of sacraficial lambs on the roster right now.

If you think NE/Pitt/Atl are super bowl bound this contest gets even trickier.

 

[TheChairman]

What about the Bears?

Nobody thinks they're Super Bowl bound.

 

[JB Breakfast Club]

interesting...I think the Bears will be hosting the NFC championship game...

 

[Stinkin Ref]

Fascinating values for K and DEF. I'm guessing it's an experiment by Doug. I think I'm going to fail it.

hopefully he grades on a curve cause I'm right there with ya........got a headache trying figure out who to pick....so right now my junk entry is 7 QB's6 DST

 

[Txns8]

Is last year's data floating out there anywhere?

 

[BassNBrew]

Not sure, but I found Doug's sims in the thread from last year useful.

 

[BassNBrew]

What about the Bears?

Jay Cutler is there QB. Actually the Pitt/NE player values are through the roof. In NE's case you would have to spend $31 for their RBs. Welker/Branch will run you $38. Brady $34 and their TEs $34. That's $105 of your cap and I'll guarantee that there are entires with those guys locked up plus the K and D for another $36. You can pick up the key Chicago starters for less than $80. Culter/Forter/Knox/Clark are $21 cheaper (60 v. 81) compared to Ryan/Turner/White/Gonzo. Building a Chicago Super Bowl team and having funds for round one players is much easier.

Loading up on players from teams not playing in week 1 is going to make it pretty tough to still be around after week 1.

True, but there's also a chance everyone advances because there aren't 4000 entries. Knowing how many entries there are therefore may be a key piece of information.

I've done some serious number crunching and my educated and highly statistically significant guess is that there will be far fewer than 4000 entries. Therefore, I encourage everyone to avoid taking any players who are playing in week 1 - it is a waste of your salary cap space. :X

I've now used the search function, and have to state that no one should draw any conclusions from my last post. Sorry about that.

 

[JB Breakfast Club]

My week 1 target has been 115 points, but I have no idea if that is good enough...currently project to 120 to give a little cushion. I think the projected cut line will be a little higher than last year since this is the second time playing with the same rules...

 

[kylechoffman]

No julius jones??

I think it will be a bit lower due to two things:1) No GB/Ari shootout to artificially inflate the scores.2) Pricing is higher this year.

Very challenging contest that should be great fun.

 

[Hurl Bruce]

Right now, I have:

5 QB

4 RB

5 WR

2 TE

I really have no idea how this will turn out...just crossing my fingers that the teams I am banking on all play at least 2 games.

 

[eaglezzz]

I have an Eagles/Steelers Super Bowl pick.

No Defenses or Kickers for me. and 5 qbs

 

[QuizGuy66]

Will have to track how a team that went with the biggest possible roster does

I've worked and reworked this thing a bunch of times already

I said projected cut line (which was about 110). The actual cut line was way over 110 because of the shoot out.

 

[eaglezzz]

Can't decide if Hasselbeck is worth $8 for a one week rental?

 

[Drunken Cowboy]

These are my expected scores

Week 1 147

Week2 186

Week 3 167

Superbowl 130

What was week 2 like?

You may want to try again, this roster doesn't have a chance.

 

[BassNBrew]

Currently projected at 127 for WC weekend. Hate going that high in week one, but I'm excepting a 55% cut this week. Curretnly alignment is 5 QB, 3 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 3 K. I'll have to hit on my WC predictions because I'm not carrying any players on 3 of the 4 bye teams. May need to rethink that again.

 

[HellToupee]

currently going with only 5 AFC players

 

[Drunken Cowboy]

I revised to give myself a few more superbowl points at the expense of weeks 1 and 2.

Week 1 129

Week2 168

Week 3 167

Superbowl 145
