Not necessarily. I own Garrard, but I also own Ben. So Garrard could tank and if Ben plays well it doesn't matter.In order to win this thing, those of us with different options at QB really need Brees and Garrard to lay eggs down the stretch. Since they're each owned by about 50% of those left, if those two play poorly then it's all of a sudden a 100 man contest rather than a 250 man contest.

Thanks for the news that I am one of the favorites to win this thing. It is news to me. I will admit I think for the last three week period I outscore everyone but the next three weeks are what counts.In 2004 when I won the first FFTOC (Fantasy Football Tournement of Champions) and a prize of $10,000 my team did the same thing. Peaking at the right time is the nature of this beast.Good luck to all as we are all even at this point.Jimctriopelle said:sorry about the extra posts I had in here for a bit, I hate having to use unreliable weak wireless signals to avoid the company internet blocker!![]()

I don't really take much from the uniqueness scores that were posted. If your team is unique but they don't score then that doesn't do anything for you. My uniqueness score was high like yours was, but here I was this week scoring 180+ points and I'm still alive. It will be a fun ride though while it lasts.Since I made it this far, I might normally say that I have about a 1 in 250 chance at winning 20K. However, a couple of weeks ago, my uniqueness score was 980 out of 1000.No chance for me. I have pretty much every highly owned player out there.Brees, Garrard, AD, Welker, Lee Evans, Patrick Crayton, Colston, Bo Scaife, Eric Johnson...hell, even my kickers are owned by more than 20% of active teams (Folk and Hansen).My best chance rides with Frank Gore, who is my ONLY player that is owned by less than 10% of teams still alive. My lowest owned receiver is Lee Evans, at 14%.yeah, I don't like my chances.

Obviously, uniqueness isn't a virtue unto itself. Given two teams of equal strength, the more unique entry has a greater chance of finishing first, but also a greater chance of finishing last.Just eyeballing things, there does seem to be a slight inverse relationship between uniqueness and strength. That is, the strongest teams are, in general, less unique. I guess that's not surprising. I think I'd rather be a strong non-unique team than a weak unique team. But I'd rather be strong and unique than strong and non-unique. And I'd rather be weak and unique than weak and non-unique.jafo said:I don't really take much from the uniqueness scores that were posted.

Anyway, here are the updated rankings.

Love the power rankings, but I notice it does penalize those of us with "alternative" rosters, like mine with only 2 QB's (banking on Peyton) and only 3 RB's (AD, Bush, McGahee). I went 11 WR's to offset the variation of the position, and it has worked out well so far. Over the long haul, it has been productive and I have ammassed the 9th most points in total this season (of the finalists), whereas my power ranking is about 125 even with a generally healthy roster. My "similar" competitors are ranked as high as 30th in power, primarily due to their potential bench players helping with their rankings, and even though I have outscored them all for the season. Not sure what a good solution is, given that the rosters in the current format are so flexible. It is nice to at least get some idea how things are looking going forward for the finish though!Game on, GL to everyone left in the sprint! :(Obviously, uniqueness isn't a virtue unto itself.

No question. It's hard to know how to deal with the different kinds of rosters. Hence the disclaimer:Love the power rankings, but I notice it does penalize those of us with "alternative" rosters, like mine with only 2 QB's (banking on Peyton) and only 3 RB's (AD, Bush, McGahee).
This is also (one reason) why this contest is so much fun. A tell-tale sign of a good contest is that it's tough to identify optimal strategies, even at this late stage.These rankings are meant to be a very rough general gauge of team strengths. There are a great many strategical and roster-construction considerations that they make no effort to measure.

:X Ideally, I'd like to have both. For instance, if Drew Brees is the least unique producing QB and Derek Anderson is the most unique producing QB, I'd like to have both -- Brees as a "hedge" and Anderson as my potential winner if he goes off. Unfortunately I don't have both and I'll have to rely on my "un-unique" team with its very few unique players to carry me...Obviously, uniqueness isn't a virtue unto itself.
