I'm not as down on your team as the others who posted above. I actually like your early round selections. Most people don't get the format of these big tournaments. There is 1 massive prize. And you need to gamble on guys with monster upside to win it all. Heck the league prizes alone don't even pay out 50% do they? (350/team = $4200) 1st and 2nd combined take home what $1400 and $700 only? So back to the point at hand , if you're goal is to win the entire thing, going the safe route won't do it. Now to the actual picks: Werth in the 12th rd of a roto draft? Umm what? Was he not listed on the site for the other teams? An insane steal that late. I really like your picks 1-6. They're all dynamic players and clearly have enough power in just those top 3. Billy Hamilton I like there alot. U weren't getting him end of rd 6. So u reached but I'm ok with that. If he hits .260 with 120 runs and 75 steals, you'll be the one laughing. If he busts out and in the minors oh well. Worth the gamble in this format. U also nabbed a solid staff for waiting until rd 4 to take one. The one egregious mistake u made was C. In a 2 catcher format, what were u doing sleeping on them?! I have miggy Montero in a 1 catcher league and I'm already dreading it. Let alone being the lead C in a 2 catcher format. To me that's the 1 glaring weakness and one that might cost u. Overall tho, I think this is def a competitive squad. Good luck to u. Also the stats count for the Austraila series if your draft is after it?? Was thinking of joining 1 of those leagues this weekend. Good luck again.
The NFBC is counting those games. You'll be able to put them in your lineup for a "Week 0" type of period that will either count/not count those games depending on if you start/sit a player from those teams.
No, it's not a part of Week 1 stats. The games that happen before Week 1 have their own scoring period that ends on 3/30. You can freely move players into and out of the lineup for that scoring period until 3/30.... therefore anyone that drafts after the games have happened will be able to count the stats for those games (if they chose to) by making the players active in that lineup period.
But you're scored relative to the other teams in the league correct? ie , 12 pts for the best in 1 catergory, 1 pt for the worst. Thats my question, so if have 0 players in that opening scoring period, i would just get 1's across the board .... ? And considering the overall champ is based on the total pts you accumulate, that would seem to be a big deal. Guess im just lost on this. although i cant believe no one can understand what im confused about here lol
The standings are only measured as year-to-date. It's a straight roto league. So you would have 1's in some categories, and probably 12's in something like ERA and WHIP... but its completely irrelevant at that point. Just the first of ~180 days worth of standings updates.
