Collusion? You tell me. Had a draft last night... (1 Viewer)

[Ignoramus]

I don't think the OP's team is all that.

It's not bad for a 16-teamer.

 

[Insein]

Thanks for posting your rooster. That was helpful.

This is a great Freudian slip.

it's not. it's a reference to an old thread. (wherein it possibly was a freudian slip.)

Excellent either way.

It's a 12 team league.

 

[ratbast]

Its a family league, this happens and peer pressure is the only solution.

Matt Forte

Julio Jones

Emmanuel Sanders

Jonathan Stewart

Dez Bryant

Andrew Hawkins

Greg Olsen

Lamar Miller

Robert Woods

Its not that bad. If you dont believe in Jones and like Miller its better. I want to know the rest of Team A's team. If he killed the draft too then perhaps he set his sights on Dez.

Its not collusion.

Clearly collusion. Clearly these guys got together, planned out how they were going to contribute $50 combined to a league, and trade Matt Forte at a somewhat discount and then Julio Jones for a steep discount, all to try and slightly increase their chances of one of them winning a 1st prize payout that is probably around 60% of like a $250 pot, which is a cool profit of $50 each....several months later...if in fact he actually wins the league (which is still statistically unlikely).

Open/shut IMO.

While it's probably not the best thought out plan, it's very possible this was their plan. The Julio trade was truly awful.

Who would draft Julio Jones in Round 2 and then trade him (with Jon Stewart) for an 8th, 9th and 15th round pick? (Guessing where Miller, Olsen and Woods were drafted but you get the idea).

The first trade I actually have no problem with, the second is at least arguable - but the third is very curious. How do two teams make four trades right after their fantasy draft?

lol the first trade is horrid. if dude wanted dez and hawkins, he coulda just drafted them instead of forte and sanders.

Fair enough. I think the crazy RB depth is what's gonna win it for me. This is a 2 flex PPR league, so I'll be able to start all 4 of these RBs at once:

J Charles

Gio

Vereen

Gerhart

Everyone was going WR after the first few rounds leaving all kinds of value at RB, so that's what I went with.

team is sick. somehow got 6 players that should go in the first 4 rounds. and then hilton benjamin and hyde.

Is there any way we can turn this into a "drafting with guppies" thread?

 

[dagwood]

I was invited to join a $25 PPR league the other day by someone from another forum, hadn't done PPR in a few years so I figured it would be fun.

Absolutely DESTROYED the draft on ESPN last night. Definitely not many sharks in this league, to say the least.

Anyway I wake up this morning to find 2 trades have been accepted, both between the same teams.

Team A gives Matt Forte

Team A gives Emmanuel Sanders

Team B gives Dez Bryant

Team B gives Andrew Hawkins

Now, this is bad enough imo. Forte is better than Dez, and Sanders is WAY better than Hawkins. But, I've seen crazier.

Then 2 hours later another trade is accepted by the same 2 teams:

Team A gives Julio Jones

Team A gives Jonathan Stewart

Team B gives Greg Olsen

Team B gives Lamar Miller

TEam B gives Robert Woods

So basically, on the night of the draft, someone traded Matt Forte and Julio Jones (their top 2 picks) for Dez Bryant and a bunch of crap.

Why would anyone get in a money league with people they don't know ? And if you do, you really forfeit the right to complain about this kind of nonsense. Of course its collusion. You got taken. Learn from it. It only cost you $25.

Is this the "Drafting with Guppies ver 3.0" thread?

Possibli

 

[Kool-Aid Larry]

Is there any way we can turn this into a "drafting with guppies" thread?

yeah, can we get a link to this league, or sth?

 

[Alonzo Mosely]

This is the main reason why I only play in leagues with people that I know.

If you can't cheat your friends, who can you cheat?

Lol when I plugged my team into the footballguys app, it actually said "you are a virtual lock to make the playoffs" with a little dancing lock icon instead of the 3 lines with the "with great in season management" stuff.

First time I ever saw that I must admit.

Didnt read, but not collusion.
