Best Ball community - It's BB season!!! (1 Viewer)

[Grid71]

Hello. Ol Joe has been talking about community and bringing us together for all sorts of new content. Inspired me to make what may be my second or third FBG thread ever. That and a few of us bogging down a player thread with Best Ball content. BB is a funky animal since it's all about off season entertainment. We get to obsess about players and projections while drafting teams all the way up to week 1 kickoff. Then the pressure is off, watch the games and enjoy. No worries about setting lineups. No concerns over waiver pickups. Just watch football and ignore all those teams till week 14. Well, maybe root a little harder for your flag plants.

Introduction. My name is Dave from Ohio (originally PA). Work remotely a good bit on firewalls, routing, switching and contact center stuff. Shoot pool when I can and obsess over football. Fairly new to BB. Dabbled a bit last few years to get a better read on ADP instead of mock drafts. Found it fun especially when the entry is $3-10 per draft. Last year messed up drafting boomer heavy RB teams and over exposed myself with Nick Chubb and Justin Jefferson... oof. It was fun, but didn't win a whole lot back. Still it was very entertaining and i'm back diving in head first. For me it's not about an investment, it's entertainment and fun to puzzle out how to construct a decent roster from any slot & draft room. Trying to get better.

Underdog is where I play under handle H8FULHUCK
122 teams before the NFL draft
200 additional teams so far after the draft - only 23 BBMV rosters for a shot at that sweet sweet $1.5 mill top prize, not maxing that one
Live drafts are great when I can block off the time. Do quite a few slows with an 8 hour clock. Slow drafts help me max out a contest, but live is more fun.

Content: FBG has good stuff mostly from James Brimacombe aka Eaglezzz who calls out risers and fallers, drops some player takes. We can sort ADP specific to BB. I find myself playing youtube live streams of Underdog drafts in the background while at work. Content creators share their takes during live BB drafts and freak out now and then when players get sniped or take jabs at bad drafters in the room paying the rake.

FBG is a great community and hope you would join me to discuss strategies, roster composition, player takes, exposures and anything you'd like to share. Would be cool to get to know some of you better and root for one of us to cash in. Maybe hop into some drafts together, post/critique rosters.

Best ball started a few months ago buddy. I'm mainly an FFPC guy.

Hi I’m Shaun. In TX (originally MA) I started to play a lot of underdog BB the last couple years. Will probably get to 1/2 max on bbm5 after maxing it last year. I like the eliminator so have done some of those. And puppy’s.

For BB content I follow shipchasing, Pat Kerrane, Liam, etc on YouTube. not sure what content creators you follow? Yeah eaglezzz seems to max everything.

One article FBG used to have that I thought was insightful was quality starts but haven’t seen in recent years. Helps understand if you are likely getting a consistent guy or boom/bust type. Strategy is what mix is best? I do use FBG for depth charts, rankings/projections, articles, etc. and
(for redraft/ dynasty (ffpc) I like FBGs weekly content including injuries, def matchups, etc)


Good luck.

Also for bbm4 I was just avg for advance rate to week 15 (24/150). I had 3 teams week 16 but none to finals. I did get 1 puppy, 1 eliminator and 1 superflex big board (pre draft) to week 17 but no big cashes.

I think I was too fragile at Rb in last years with 4-5 average particularly if last one is a guy like Tank Bigsby. Ha. Though I did have 10% kyren last year
