FBG Contest Team Status Updates Page (1 Viewer)

[Organized Chaos]

Yup, i'm gone at 125..I fixed the Semi Live Scoring App so the load times shouldnt be nearly as bad for those left in it.Also, for those that have been asking, I finally got to a point where I thought I could do a projected cut, but my sample size is too small, combined with the people that are actually using this are limited to people that are still in/interested in the contest.There are about 200 active teams in the DB and a cut similar to today's 2300 would be around the top 21%, or 40 people in my DB. It is drastically off at 195.5...If I do this for FBG next year and I am able to work with the subscriber teams DB, we will be able to have live projected cutoffs also Good luck to those still in it.

Don't you mean the cut would be the bottom 21% (or the bottom 40 in your DB) ? Surely you don't have 160 of your 200 DB teams going over 195.5 points.

I'm tired and its late, but wouldnt it be like this?FBG top 21% of 11k = 2300 ishtop 21% of 200 = 40 ishIf I cut the bottom 40 out, that still leaves 160..I just ran a quick check keeping the top 160 and it came up at 131.25. Closer, but still really tough to project with such a small base IMO.

247.5Hoping to be in the top 5.

Nice!Of the people that are using the Semi-Live app, here are the top 5 scores for this week.240.45 238.65 237.05 232.15 228.20

Well I am 238.65 however I think there is a small bug. It is counting Eric Johnson 8.70 as my flex instead of Reggie Bush 27.00. My calculations have me at 256.95 No biggie just really appreciative of the time you have taken to create this application. T

[QuizGuy66]

WOW.

Thanks Turk

On to Week 10

-QG

 

[David Yudkin]

I was a goner without Santonio's performance.

 

[The Duff Man]

Highest score to date. Bills (Lynch and Evans) and Steelers (Roeth and Holmes) offenses are clicking at the right time for me.

 

[JohnDoe]

I thought I was a goner, but I failed to add my totals correctly. Slipped in @ 149.35. I live to see another day.

 

[Random]

Made the cut at 187. I should be up for the all hospital team though:

David Garrard

Ahman Green

Larry Johnson

Laveranues Coles

Chad Johnson

 

[Monsters of the Midway]

144.45 - HE GONE

Almost squeaked through. 6.4 points from your RBs isn't going to cut it.

This is my first year as a fbg and thus first year in the contest. It was a lot of fun. Good luck all.

 

[Monsters of the Midway]

And OrganizedChaos, thanks a bunch for your scoring app.

Tom Brady $26 8.0 40.1

Brady is the #1 QB owned. A lot of Brady owners going to get bounced this week!

 

[Worm]

I'm in the top 10 for the first time ever, but I feel like that's misleading. I like a lot of the top teams a whole lot better than mine. Oh well, enjoy the ride I guess.

I think you are reading this wrong. My understanding is only 8% of the alive teams own Brady. Of those 40.1% of them are alive.

Nope you're reading it wrong. Only 8% of the entries left in the contest have Brady. 40.1% of the people who started the contest with Brady are still alive. You're right though in thinking that it's very likely this number will decrease considerably with the stiff 30% or so cut down this week.-QG

 

[IndyHavoc]

Man, my team continues to survive with nothing but smoke and mirrors. Are FWP and Maroney EVER going to put up some #'s. If so, I'll actually be able to compete for some $$$. Gah, I guess my strategy of loading up on cheap WR's (I have like 8) is working out to survive, but I just can't see a team with

QB Mannning and Huard

RB FWP, Maroney, and a smattering of yuk

surviving much longer. Made the last 4 cuts by like 10 pts each week :beer:

160.05 I made it another week.

I have Shaun Alexander, Thomas Jones and Julius Jones as my RB's but have been surviving on my QB and WRs.

 

[Bobcat10]

a lot of these teams look really good ... not sure how my team would beat them but i guess it's fun to still be alive

I'm thinking the same thing. Since I'm not a Brady or Welker or Randy owner, I'm hoping as many of those teams get plucked this week as possible.

 

[jdoggydogg]

Wow. My team is alive and held together with duct tape and silly string.

It'll take a miracle for me to make it this week with Maroney on a bye, and only Jordan and Betts for RBs

I respectfully disagree, Garrard and Brees are the most widely held QB's and are capable of strongly influencing the cut . Only 8% of rosters hold Brady (%own=100*Total LIVE entries with player/total LIVE entries per DD definition). 40.1% is the survival rate of those that originally had him, which basically states that with only 20% of the original crew still alive, that those owning Brady are surviving at 2x the rest of the field. The stuff to pull from this data is it is sorted by %live, which shows that if you have guys on the top of this list, you can thank yourself for those guys carrying you. If you also own them and they are a low %own, you are in a good position because they are more unique and won't help as many others. At this stage if you have a lot of guys like this, you have a great shot at doing damage in the finals.Conversely, if you have a lot of guys with a high %own, you can feel good that if one does badly it won't hurt you a lot because it is hurting several others counting on them also. I never understood why a lot of folks subscribe to the theory of "I don't want 'X' because everyone has him and I will do better when he has a bad day and kills his owners". While it may be true that you won't distance yourself from the crowd with him, or other popular players capable of putting up respecatable numbers (like AD), if he does go off and 40% of the rosters have him, you had better have a good response because 40% of everyone else gets his points.Personally, I feel best when a high cost player (relative to their position) capable of huge days (like LT or Gates) gets shut down, as those that have them likely have depth issues due to then deal with. The less teams that have the opportunity to explode, the better it is for those that don't have them!

Yup, i'm gone at 125..I fixed the Semi Live Scoring App so the load times shouldnt be nearly as bad for those left in it.Also, for those that have been asking, I finally got to a point where I thought I could do a projected cut, but my sample size is too small, combined with the people that are actually using this are limited to people that are still in/interested in the contest.There are about 200 active teams in the DB and a cut similar to today's 2300 would be around the top 21%, or 40 people in my DB. It is drastically off at 195.5...If I do this for FBG next year and I am able to work with the subscriber teams DB, we will be able to have live projected cutoffs also Good luck to those still in it.

Don't you mean the cut would be the bottom 21% (or the bottom 40 in your DB) ? Surely you don't have 160 of your 200 DB teams going over 195.5 points.

I'm tired and its late, but wouldnt it be like this?FBG top 21% of 11k = 2300 ishtop 21% of 200 = 40 ishIf I cut the bottom 40 out, that still leaves 160..I just ran a quick check keeping the top 160 and it came up at 131.25. Closer, but still really tough to project with such a small base IMO.

OC:Thanks again for your work. Even with a general population of random teams in your database, I think you have a decent cut predictor. Your cut projection should be based on % advancing from the previous week, which was 74% this week (2300/3100). You used 79% and got 131 points, so using top 74% the number would rise somewhat. Won't be perfect, but would be a barometer at least. Next week will be top 70% (1600/2300). I expect the cut number to drop next week from this week, but not a lot since we are advancing 4% less. As long as scoring returns to "normal", the cut should go back to somewhere in the 130's to mid 140's. Once we lose the bye weeks though and get to less than 65% moving on, all bets are off and the cuts are going to skyrocket...

[Rounders]

Wow. My team is alive and held together with duct tape and silly string. It'll take a miracle for me to make it this week with Maroney on a bye, and only Jordan and Betts for RBs

Same here. thanks to ADP I have been staying alive. If Jackson comes back strong I have a chance. Most likely not, but it's fun to still be around.

 

[stubby]

I made the cut this week, but alas, I feel it's all for not. Even with Manning and Gates, I hitched my ride on the "2nd half LJ will be gold" express, and his injury, combined with not having A.Green or Welker this week, will probably seal my fate for week 10.

 

[thebestupsman]

190 and some change off to week 10.

 

[perry147]

a lot of these teams look really good ... not sure how my team would beat them but i guess it's fun to still be alive

I'm thinking the same thing. Since I'm not a Brady or Welker or Randy owner, I'm hoping as many of those teams get plucked this week as possible.

I only have Welker but I was thinking the same thing.

 

[Organized Chaos]

Yup, i'm gone at 125..I fixed the Semi Live Scoring App so the load times shouldnt be nearly as bad for those left in it.Also, for those that have been asking, I finally got to a point where I thought I could do a projected cut, but my sample size is too small, combined with the people that are actually using this are limited to people that are still in/interested in the contest.There are about 200 active teams in the DB and a cut similar to today's 2300 would be around the top 21%, or 40 people in my DB. It is drastically off at 195.5...If I do this for FBG next year and I am able to work with the subscriber teams DB, we will be able to have live projected cutoffs also Good luck to those still in it.

Don't you mean the cut would be the bottom 21% (or the bottom 40 in your DB) ? Surely you don't have 160 of your 200 DB teams going over 195.5 points.

I'm tired and its late, but wouldnt it be like this?FBG top 21% of 11k = 2300 ishtop 21% of 200 = 40 ishIf I cut the bottom 40 out, that still leaves 160..I just ran a quick check keeping the top 160 and it came up at 131.25. Closer, but still really tough to project with such a small base IMO.

OC:Thanks again for your work. Even with a general population of random teams in your database, I think you have a decent cut predictor. Your cut projection should be based on % advancing from the previous week, which was 74% this week (2300/3100). You used 79% and got 131 points, so using top 74% the number would rise somewhat. Won't be perfect, but would be a barometer at least. Next week will be top 70% (1600/2300). I expect the cut number to drop next week from this week, but not a lot since we are advancing 4% less. As long as scoring returns to "normal", the cut should go back to somewhere in the 130's to mid 140's. Once we lose the bye weeks though and get to less than 65% moving on, all bets are off and the cuts are going to skyrocket...

Ok, I was approaching it completely wrong.Using the 74% marker it was much closer (136.85). I can try that next week and see where things are for you guys. Fudging it a little (70%) gets us a little closer (145).

 

[Synthesizer]

147.5 thank you Ron Dayne!

Ouch. Never mind. Missed the cut by 0.7 pts. I had good depth at every position and I thought I had the right team to make a deep run. Good luck to everyone else.

Player price %OWN %LIVE----------------------------------------Tom Brady $26 8.0 40.1Brady is the #1 QB owned. A lot of Brady owners going to get bounced this week!

Nope you're reading it wrong. Only 8% of the entries left in the contest have Brady. 40.1% of the people who started the contest with Brady are still alive. You're right though in thinking that it's very likely this number will decrease considerably with the stiff 30% or so cut down this week.-QG

I respectfully disagree, Garrard and Brees are the most widely held QB's and are capable of strongly influencing the cut . Only 8% of rosters hold Brady (%own=100*Total LIVE entries with player/total LIVE entries per DD definition). 40.1% is the survival rate of those that originally had him, which basically states that with only 20% of the original crew still alive, that those owning Brady are surviving at 2x the rest of the field. The stuff to pull from this data is it is sorted by %live, which shows that if you have guys on the top of this list, you can thank yourself for those guys carrying you. If you also own them and they are a low %own, you are in a good position because they are more unique and won't help as many others. At this stage if you have a lot of guys like this, you have a great shot at doing damage in the finals.Conversely, if you have a lot of guys with a high %own, you can feel good that if one does badly it won't hurt you a lot because it is hurting several others counting on them also. I never understood why a lot of folks subscribe to the theory of "I don't want 'X' because everyone has him and I will do better when he has a bad day and kills his owners". While it may be true that you won't distance yourself from the crowd with him, or other popular players capable of putting up respecatable numbers (like AD), if he does go off and 40% of the rosters have him, you had better have a good response because 40% of everyone else gets his points.Personally, I feel best when a high cost player (relative to their position) capable of huge days (like LT or Gates) gets shut down, as those that have them likely have depth issues due to then deal with. The less teams that have the opportunity to explode, the better it is for those that don't have them!

I have many guys with high ownership %s, and Brady isn't a guy I have. Basically I'm saying that a good number of the people with Brady will be knocked out b/c they will get 0 from him this week and the cut % is much deeper this week. About 184 owners left have Brady. They are at a serious disadvantage this week if their backup QBs are weak. If 30% or so are cut this week, I would expect a higher % of the 0-point Brady owners to face their doom. There might be only 100 or so of 'em left if it's a high scoring week.-QG

As a Brady guy who also has Favre, I'm hoping I'm one of the few surviving Brady owners after this week.

 

[MSULions]

damn.....missed by a couple of points w/ my second lowest output of the year

I went w/ 2 "stud" rbs in Maroney and Rudi and that's what killed me basically. Neither ever produced....i was hoping to squeak by and have them blow up on the back end...oh well. Week 9 is the farthest i've made it yet!

Soon...all of the survivors will have the same rosters.

 

[David Dodds]

11 staffers still representing.

Who's that Bryant guy in the top 50 this week?

-QG

 

[Upchuck]

Survived at about 160 pts. Averaging 181 but trending way down the last 3 weeks (146, 122, and 160) and I'm afraid I will be out next week unless things change. Welker my only bye for coming week. Hopefully C Henry starting week 10 will help. If I remember right, the Excel program was available for download (or was this something else?) and though I've input my team online, I'd love to analyse the teams later.

Anyone know what the top averages are? Just curious.

I was out last year in week 9. I must say this year has been a lot of fun. Good luck to all.

If I get time at work this week, I'm planning on doing a power ranking of the remaining teams to see who's who in the remaining field. I did it in the past it will just take some time setting up the stats for all the different rosters remaining. The more I look at my team, the better I like my chances, even though I don't have any really "unique" players. Anyone else finishing in the cash last year (defined as getting a FBG check, even for a low amount) still alive? I'm thinking it is VERY difficult to get into the finals, much less do it as a repeat...

I finished 13th last year and I'm still alive...how, I don't know. I do know you need a lot of luck and some players going off at opportune times.

 

[gruecd]

Missed the cut by a measly 1.1 points this week.

Good luck to those of you still remaining! It's been fun.

 

[Dirty Weasel]

I thought this would be a fun way to post my team...

Of the 2300 remaining in the contest, here are my players, based on how many other people own them:

Wes Welker - 1283

Santonio Holmes - 1139

David Garrard - 1058

Adrian Peterson - 966

Drew Brees - 932

Eric Johnson - 722

Patrick Crayton - 695

John Kasay - 679

Lee Evans - 621

Marques Colston - 490

Willis McGahee - 474

Ryan Longwell - 400

Nick Folk - 396

Matt Leinart - 322

Ladell Betts - 311

Baltimore D - 299

Cadillac Williams - 283

Heath Miller - 251

Drew Bennett - 239

Ben Watson - 182

San Diego D - 115

Jerome Harrison - 90

Looks like I ended up with very few unique players. I have 9 of the top 10 owned players. Looking for an edge, it would be nice to whittle down the Ben Watson owners this week. I don't expect too many Wes Welker, David Garrard, Eric Johnson, or Patrick Crayton owners to disappear, because those guys were all low dollar players. I certainly won't gain an edge at WR, because I have 5 of the most common 6.

By far, the best unique player to have seems to be Derek Anderson. He was only $4, so I am guessing the remaining 2 people who own him have at least 2 other nice QB options on their squad. Also, there are only 7 remaining Portis owners (at $41, those 7 people sure had some large cajones).
