2022 FBG Subscriber Contest is ON - Update - 1st place is $10k + $5k to food bank of their choice (1 Viewer)

[TwinTurbo]

here's a similar take on RBs...

I'll work from the bottom up...
$3 - It's hard to shy away from Jeff Wilson here. I think his path to significant touches is the easiest of all $3 options
$4 - I would've said Mike Davis until Kenyan Drake showed up. Now, my $4 pick is Chris Evans, who may surpass Perine as Mixon's true backup
$5 - There were only 2 RB's last year who had 50+ carries and over 6 YPC. Dontrell Hilliard was one of them.
$6 - I have shifted from Eno to Zamir. LV can list him 4th on their depth chart all they want.
$7 - You can't keep a good man down. Brian Robinson and his cheap price may be worth the wait.
$8 - Jerick McKinnon was on his way to stardom, until he tore his ACL. Can he surpass CEH in touches?
$9 - Alexander Mattison is only 24 with basically 1 workhorse year's worth of touches. He could carry a load.
I will stop at $9, because the $10 choice is too easy.

I had Chris Evans in most iterations until the final. He's great in the passing game. But flipped Evans + Zamir up to Pierce. I wanted to fade Pierce, but it's not easy to make the argument for it once Mack was released. Also I love McKinnon but he's 30 now and that speed and sparq score doesn't last forever.

 

[TwinTurbo]

Made some changes and turned it into a 2 QB roster. Also wasnt comfortable with my RB's and wanted a stud.

QB - Jared Goff - DET/6 - $9
RB - Joe Mixon - CIN/10 - $30
RB - Rashaad Penny - SEA/11 - $15

[TwinTurbo]

This will be my first year doing the contest and first time doing anything like this format.
This is what I ended up with, no conflicting bye weeks per positional group, $250 spent. Is there anything you guys can critique/recommend changing?

QB - Kirk Cousins - 14
QB - Matt Ryan - 10
QB - Jared Goff - 9
RB - Tony Pollard - 18
RB - Rashaad Penny - 15
RB - Rhamondre Stevenson - 15
RB - James Cook - 15
RB - Nyheim Hines - 13
RB - Zamir White - 6
WR - Gabriel Davis - 19
WR - Amon-Ra St. Brown - 17
WR - Rondale Moore - 11
WR - Tyler Boyd - 11
WR - Mecole Hardman - 7
WR - Alec Pierce - 7
WR - George Pickens - 6
TE - Dalton Schultz - 18
TE - Tyler Higbee - 10
TE - Evan Engram - 9
PK - Randy Bullock - 4
PK - Rodrigo Blankenship - 3
PK - Greg Zuerlein - 3
TD - San Francisco 49ers - 4
TD - Minnesota Vikings - 3
TD - Arizona Cardinals - 3

Welcome aboard.

First comment is that I'm not a huge 3 QB fan. For what you spent on Ryan/Goff I think you could have had a really good QB or dropped one and upgraded Higbee to a stud TE. Is the incremental difference Ryan adds going to offset jumping from Higbee to someone like Andrews?

Funny thing is I was just coming here to post about RBs. My downfall most years has been the RB position. I usually do what you did and avoid paying up for a stud. I just can't keep myself from saying what happens if (insert stud RB here) gets hurt? All these guys seem like great picks when you imagine them getting most of the touches but then the seasons starts and you say wtf was I thinking? Also the scoring is much more friendly for TEs and usually WRs too, so the $/expected point is usually better spent there. However you then look at the weekly score and some guy with Taylor has hung a score bigger than your two best backs.

Anyone else struggle with RB selection?

I just picked the top 2 and moved on. It was the easiest choice for me out of all the positions.

Does anyone have a link to last year's winning lineup?

Sadly, all links to all previous years do not work anymore. I checked last year's thread, but the actual lineup was not posted either.

 

[rockaction]

I went with a light PK/DEF build and like this iteration of the squad. Could always swap out Njoku, Obwuegkunam, or Engram for a defense and Bellinger. Main problem I see with this build is that I'm weak Week Nine.

QB - Kirk Cousins - MIN/7 - $14
QB - Jameis Winston - NO/14 - $12
RB - Leonard Fournette - TB/11 - $27
RB - Saquon Barkley - NYG/9 - $26
RB - Elijah Mitchell - SF/9 - $18
RB - Dameon Pierce - HOU/6 - $10
RB - Brian Robinson - WAS/14 - $7
RB - Jeff Wilson - SF/9 - $3
RB - Zack Moss - BUF/7 - $3
WR - Chris Godwin - TB/11 - $21
WR - Courtland Sutton - DEN/9 - $19
WR - Darnell Mooney - CHI/14 - $17
WR - JuJu Smith-Schuster - KC/8 - $15
WR - D.J. Chark - DET/6 - $7
WR - George Pickens - PIT/9 - $6
WR - Zay Jones - JAX/11 - $5
TE - Evan Engram - JAX/11 - $9
TE - David Njoku - CLE/9 - $9
TE - Albert Okwuegbunam - DEN/9 - $9
PK - Graham Gano - NYG/9 - $3
PK - Kaimi Fairbairn - HOU/6 - $3
TD - Green Bay Packers - GB/14 - $4

You can take me off teh lost, I have already made multiple changes. Heck, I have made several changes in the last few minutes.

@TheWinz Thank you for tracking it for everyone and thank you @Joe Bryant for dropping the extra dough on the ones with enough willpower to stop making changes.

[Courtjester]

Every stinking year, I subscribe and then say "Oh, the Subscriber contest!! I am going to really try this time." Then every year, I find myself slapping a team together right at the deadline that is eliminated Week 4-5.

 

[chocula]

@KingPrawn did you just delete the post of your only entry?

Sorry. The minute I posted it at the last second I changed it. I'm addicted I tell ya.

The way I see it the real fun and joy of this contest is the constant tinkering and different combinations and ways to get to a hopefully competitive rooster. Why would I cut that fun short by two days? I knew I wasn't go to keep the same lineup for another two minutes, let alone two days, so I deleted it.

Now if you'll excuse me, I've got several dozen more roosters I'd like to try before my 10:00 a.m. FBGSCA (FBG Subscriber Contest Anonymous) meeting

The preseason joy of this contest is akin to being a Super Bowl era Cleveland Browns fan. Look at my team and say Dang!!! This is freaking awesome!!! This is the year we are gonna win the whole thing….

Oddly enough, my prediction is the Browns finally win it this year

Try being a Cowboys fan. Haha

FYI - Check the expiration of your subscription. It would suck to win, then find out your subscription had lapsed the week prior. This reminds me of those Judge Judy episodes where the defendant tries to purchase and backdate car insurance after an accident.

One final bit of fine print about prizes: any legal entry submitted by a person who had an annual subscription at the time of entry will be a live entry in the contest, and will therefore potentially affect cut lines throughout the contest. At the end of the contest, we will verify that prize winners did indeed hold an annual subscription for the entire duration of the contest. If one of the prize winners did not, then that entry will be declared ineligible and all other eligible entries will move up a spot (e.g., if the 2nd-place finisher is ineligible, then the 3rd place finisher moves up to 2nd place, the 4th place finisher moves to 3rd, and so on).

My final rooster. In before the lock!

My leanest rooster yet, I believe. 20.

Last year one of the reasons I got bounced was I had too many speculative cheap upside picks, and the way the BYEs aligned I had to count on too many of them at exactly the wrong time.

2022 going lean at TE, K, & D - had a couple extra bucks so went with D upgrades. 5 good WR & RB, and 2 upsides. It's risky, but I like it.

This is my rooster. There are many roosters like it, but this one is mine.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

My final rooster. In before the lock!

My leanest rooster yet, I believe. 20.

Last year one of the reasons I got bounced was I had too many speculative cheap upside picks, and the way the BYEs aligned I had to count on too many of them at exactly the wrong time.

2022 going lean at TE, K, & D - had a couple extra bucks so went with D upgrades. 5 good WR & RB, and 2 upsides. It's risky, but I like it.


Here goes nothin'

QB - Kirk Cousins - MIN/7 - $14
QB - Derek Carr - LV/6 - $13
RB - Saquon Barkley - NYG/9 - $26
RB - A.J. Dillon - GB/14 - $20
RB - Kareem Hunt - CLE/9 - $19
RB - Rhamondre Stevenson - NE/10 - $15
RB - Dameon Pierce - HOU/6 - $10
RB - Dontrell Hilliard - TEN/6 - $5
WR - Mike Williams - LAC/8 - $21
WR - Courtland Sutton - DEN/9 - $19
WR - Gabriel Davis - BUF/7 - $19
WR - Rashod Bateman - BAL/10 - $16
WR - Nico Collins - HOU/6 - $10
WR - Josh Palmer - LAC/8 - $6
TE - Dawson Knox - BUF/7 - $14
TE - David Njoku - CLE/9 - $9
PK - Rodrigo Blankenship - IND/14 - $3
PK - Kaimi Fairbairn - HOU/6 - $3
TD - San Francisco 49ers - SF/9 - $4
TD - Miami Dolphins - MIA/11 - $4

Not a huge fan. Spent a ton of money on second fiddle RBs. Not much at TE.

Sez you.

So I kept my rooster the same.
Here are the 2 variations I considered today. (Fairbairn would have been a last minute swap in for Seibert based on that groin news tbh but the rest I had lined up earlier today - but decided not to pull the trigger so I am still in it for JB's $100 bonus.

Path Not Taken Version 1: In this one I swap out Allen for Burrow, swap out Mixon for Fournette, add Chris Evans, swap out JuJu for Olave, swap out Pitts for Kelce, and swap out Seibert for Fairbairn

We should be.

Go make some changes real quick & report results.

Seibert based on that groin news

Oh FFS, what groin news?

According to the Turk somewhere upthread it was set to lock automatically this year as opposed to manually in years past. Still looks like I can edit my rooster if I want to though

 

[Contest Turk]

I wouldn't try any changes right now if I were you....

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Seibert based on that groin news

Oh FFS, what groin news?

Seibert - never mind.

 

[QuizGuy66]

An here's path not taken #2 - a slight tweak to path not taken #1:

In this one I would have swapped out Allen for Burrow, swapped out Mixon for Conner, added Evans, swapped out Hollywood Brown for Gabe Davis, swapped out JuJu for Olave, swapped out Pitts for Kelce, and swapped out Seibert for Fairbairn. This is probably the swap I would have actually made had I pulled the trigger.

Why would I do that? I haven't changed it since day 1

Oh FFS, what groin news?

Also the title of my secks tape, btw.

Well, I'm about to do my entry in the last hour. Where are the scoring rules for this? Standard? PPR? I can't believe this isn't listed on the entry page? Pretty important.

Reading is fundamental

Thanks for the reply, but the nastiness was totally unnecessary. I was doing it at the last minute after all. And again, why aren't the rules on the same page as the rest of the contest info?

BassNBrew, you've been around as long as I have and someone I know that participates a lot on these boards - so, you should know the rule of be nice or leave off the extra comment. Very disappointing. Have a sh**** night to you also.
