FFPC regular season is over. How did you do? (1 Viewer)

I had a really good regular season in the Main Events, meh in the FPC.

5/6 Main Event teams made the playoffs. Only 8/18 in the FPC, one of which being a league were in together and sincerly hope to see you in the finals.

At the end of each week I go through each league and chart were I stand with respect to playoffs and top 4 seeding. How far off in record/points I need to be, etc,etc. Managed to keep almost every single one of these teams in the playoff hunt until final week or two, not a lot of really bad teams, but was surprised how little turned over since really like mid-season. For weeks I've had 5 Main Event teams that would make the playoffs and 8 FPC teams. The Main Event teams traded off, one that was in fell out and one that was not made up ground and got in and the 8 FPC just held. Had a whole lot of close, on all sides.

Yeah, my misses were all fairly good teams too. I have one team that is in a 4 way tie for 1st, but misses the playoffs.
 
I only have three teams in the FPC, two of them in the playoffs (#1 seed and #3 seed). The other one was kind of a weird league, where two of the teams with the best records had relatively low total points. I had the third highest total points but finished 6-6 and missed the playoffs.

Wow, you don't see that a lot. I had at least 2 teams in 2 or 3 way tie for second not get in but not that bad.

On the flip side I had a team that finished in a 2 way tie for 10th in record, with a sterling 4-8 mark, make the playoffs in a Main Event.

If only I could channel Cartman cursing like crazy. Barbara MFing Streisand.

Every year I *plan* on having at least one or two absolutely stacked squads that go 9-3 or 8-4 and somehow miss the cut. It's insane. It's better for me when I have that expectation. It happens all the damn time. I'm typically way above any superstition bullhickey but it's hard not to think you're unlucky sometimes. I once had my car towed from my assigned parking spot.

So ok I actually am doing alright, and the teams that didn't make it were all actually quite solid in terms of victories and points scored but there wasn't much mystery going into week 12 unfortunately. I'm ok with that because I really feel good about the way my process worked and as usual the typical swing between making the cut and not - for me it's sit/start decisions here and there and it happens. My drafts were pretty good like usual, my list of "my guys vs avoid guys" was highly accurate in most cases and these leagues are just super thin to get in.

I didn't hit the entries as hard this year. Did 12 FPC teams 4 of them made it with 3 autopasses to the dance and all 4 look legit. On paper my 4 seed has a really good matchup against a weak 1 seed. My 1 main event team that I got to draft in Vegas was very competitive from start to finish but I was constantly making the wrong sit/start choices and lost a lot of close matchups. Went into week 12 at 5-6 but only 2 points back from the 4 seed. Didn't get there but life goes on. Was stuck with putting Likely in the lineup and needed around 20 from him which was a longshot to begin with but I would have at least liked a sweat.

Gotta update all the FAAB budget situations now and see who I can rat****.
 
Nobody to screw over on FAAB everybody has good options. I can outbid all my week 13 opponents but I'm not needy either ATM. Looking at swapping one DEF and diving into week 14 possibilities as there are tons of byes to consider. I have some really tough decisions this week though. First world problems of too many good options combined with the Thursday/Friday/Sunday/Monday schedule. Glad I'm not travelling this week.

The other side of the bracket in my 4 semi-finals - Each of the other 4 brackets has one team that can outbid me ATM and one that I have crushed. I ended the season with $179,174,167,155 headed into tomorrow's waiver. (Three of those four landed Kareem Hunt FWIW)

So far I have not noticed any weaknesses among any teams on any side of any bracket. Every lineup looks legit and the projections reflect that parity. But this week I'm matched up against common names in each or most of them. So my opponents are all going to swing sort of the same way on like 4 players and I won't be naming them at this time! But happy to recap later. Same is true for me in that my fate will swing on some common names on my side of the scoreboard as well.
 
Started off 6-0 and then proceeded to go 0-6, ugh!

Still made it a the 4 seed in that league.

Good luck to all

Might be my last year playing in the FFPC with the ridiculously low Can $$ right now.
 
FPC team-I needed to outscore the 4th seed by 40 to sneak in. He scored 150. I scored 200. I'm in & like my matchup. FFPC-1 league missed a playoff spot by 12 pts. Another FFPC 6-6 -ho hum team & missed the playoffs by a bunch.

Also, yeah, I hope to see you in week 14. The team I am playing is 64th in the overall.
 
I had a rough week. I went 1-2 in FPC semis. I scored over 170 in both of the leagues I lost. I thought my lead was near insurmountable in one, but Juedy/Njoku went off.

I won my Main semi, but lost McCaffery

I hope others faired better.
 
I had a 4-8 FPC team that got the 4 seed on points. Needed around 27 to advance with Nix and the DEN defense. I was still behind on the second Jameis interception, but then the defender got up and ran for the TD, and after I silently prayed, "Please count the TD, please count, please count," the fantasy gods answered my prayer and I advanced.
 
Bad week for me. 2 of my 3 FPC leagues made the playoffs. In one, my opponent scored over 200 points so I never had a chance. In the other one (where I was the #1 seed) going into the Sunday afternoon games it was looking good for me. I had a 10 point lead with 4 players remaining and he had only 2 players remaining. Unfortunately, my 4 players all crapped the bed and his 2 were Bucky Irving and Chase McGlaughlin. 0-2.
 
I had a bad week. I was actually having the bleakest fantasy football week of my life until last night. Was really horrible because it started bad on Thanksgiving and had me in a foul mood and sat with me for days. The worst was I had a seed 4 Main Event team and in the first game I started Odunze and he had Keenan. Next game I started Lamb and Aubrey and he had Dowdle. Pretty much felt season was over before we even got to the Thursday night late game.

Went into the MNF game chalking up going a gut wrenching 0-5 in Main Events, 1-4 in FPC I felt were decided with 3 that I felt were realistically TBD. I was super down, a whole season I did fairly well just going up in flames over one week.

I sat Juedy in multiple leagues. Some he was my last consideration to start, some I gave him no consideration. Two leagues I gave him the most consdieration I went with Deebo over him and it ended a Main Event team and FPC team's seasons. I had no idea the weather in Buffalo was that bad, felt dumb.

But because I did start Juedy several places, despite the overall really poor week I find myself happy today. I guess it's all relative because I was in a dark mood this time yesterday.

But Juedy/Njoku helped me turn a 40 point deficit in a Main Event, Juedy a 32 point deficit in a $350 and some other leagues and I ended up turning two playoff matches I chalked up as losses to win and taking care of all that were TBD.

1-4 in the Main Events still blows and 3 of the losers were my seed 3 and 4 teams. Season over really, nothing but $500 play for. I say this every year, not sour grapes over doing so poorly, I just wish for pure fun to say nothing of bye week impact during the playoffs that the FFPC would make league playoffs like the dynasty with 2 week total points. But their stubborn "if it's not broke" we won't fix approach won't relent. I like the FFPC but when they started they called had some For Playesr by Players slogan. Those days are long gone, it's whatever they say now regardless of what most of their players prefer.

5-3 in FPC.

Bad week, but again with how bad it looked before the game last night I'm actually not down.

Started horrible, finished strong to end up winning 5 out of 13 league playoffs.

Came close to a perfect week in the LCG, likely would have pulled it off had Dallas had not lost possession on that punt block. Was down one point with Aubrey.

Frustrating part was that was my only close contest and lost. Smallest margin of victory in the 5 wins was 48 points.

Still really hate that FFPC won’t consider going to a two week playoff total point format like their dynasty leagues. Don’t think I’ve ever has so many wasted points as I did this past week, including multiple 200+ point games. Just for kicks I checked to see the difference and I’d have won 9 out of 13 leagues instead of 5. But past that just hate no fun if a wasted fantasy week.

Got 8 teams in Championship round total, 2 Mains and 6 FPC. One of them effectively died last night rolling out the ill fated SF stack of Purdy, Jennings and Deebo.
 
I had two of four FPC teams in the finals, which I needed to win to advance to the championship round because neither was a top-2 seed. One team looked really good heading into the late Sunday window, but opponent had Josh Allen and Puka, and I got destroyed. Second team, all I needed was 6.3 from Higgins, but Burrow threw only to the two Chases, and Higgins ended with a gut-wrenching 4 points.

There has to be some way of trying to get this idea in front of them. Even if they say, "We considered it and we're not doing it," I'd be OK with it. It seems to make too much sense. Every year, I see teams that lose in the semis that would have beaten both teams from the other semifinal game.

I encourage others to join me and others who would like to see this change but I bring it up to them every year, at least since bye weeks starting occurring in the playoffs. and if they respond to at all it's to just say things will remain the same.

Great contest and their customer service is outstanding so I'm not here to just start griping about them. But I've said before and will again that when they first started they had some slogan that went along the lines of FF for players by players and it's it's now feels basically FF for players by Alex and Alex is of the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" mindset.

Some people do prefer the rush of a one week elimination so I don't think it's a consensus opinion to move the playoffs to a two week point race but it's what most people I talk to prefer. I just think it helps cut down on the bye week impact, reduces random luck of seeding and does not make it were half the teams in the playoffs have a dull nothing on the line week 14.

Man, those are terrible losses, especially to me the Tee loss.
 
I only played 1 FFPC redraft league this year (along with 5 FFPC dynasty).

That FFPC redraft was the Super Sat which I play every year.

I had a banner regular season not only being #1 team in my league but the #1 overall seed.

That sure didn't matter though because the way the bracket sets up after I won that 1st round game vs #32 seed I got the #17 seed which is arguably one of the best teams left.

The #17 seed is the top #3 seed from all the leagues and it showed and it was just pure bad luck while I had McLaurin and Ertz on bye his team had 0 week 14 bye players.

No Lamar, No McLaurin no anyone.

Also terrible luck for me we both had Chase as his 45 pts would won me the game.

I lost 184.25 - 161.55 I would have beat many of the other teams in the bracket but not this one.

A sour ending to a great season.
 
Sounds like some rough couple weeks for folks. Same here. Brutal AF actually. Like don't even want to talk about it. First time not winning a single FPC league championship since at least 2018. Was entered into 12 of them. MFer. Ha. Had 4 playoff teams only 1 made the final and then lost. My opponent in wk14 had a terrible week and beat me with like a 106. They took a 0 for a MNF player that was inactive and I only needed like 3 points from Dissly but didn't get there.

My 1 ME team balled out all year but ultimately didn't make the league playoffs. I do have 3 tickets to the FPC dance out of my 12 entries and all 3 teams have some fire.

My best ball FFPC portfolio is a sore subject. I was in 1st place in three different leagues after week 12 (I drafted 7 of the NTE BB Tourney and the regular BB Tourney - the $125 entries) and they all fell on their *** and finished 3rd place by small margins.

Dynasty OMG Barbara Streisand. Our Sharkpool league first of all. I started the season 9-0 scoring tons of points and then have gone on a really strong anti-heater since. Missed out on the bye and now I have to win the wk15 play in. Plus I wanted to take the $200 bonus and buy my wife that leather lingerie she likes. GD it.

Had 2 other FFPC dynasties I was the leader after week 12 to earn a bye. Both teams missed the playoffs. Unreal.

My big auction redraft home league same story. I was 10-1 and waaaaaay ahead in points. This league we pay $3 real money per transaction plus FAAB real money (out of $200 season budget) into the kitty throughout the season. Playoffs are typical top 2 seeds get a bye. But 1st in points winner gets like 20% of the pot, and although I got my bye I missed the total points cut by around 7 points, and it was basically Jamaar Chase/Joe Burrow that slayed me. I think that 20% pot is around $700.

Underdog best ball portfolio had similar pattern weeks 13 and 14 screwed me hard. My Baltimore stacks that made it through, though...we shall see....

A little similar experience here.

I did 12 of the BB tournaments and from the end of week one on I had at least 7 of the 12 qualify. On the last week one team lost a 35 point lead on seed 3 and another team lost over a 70 point lead on seed 3 so ended up with 5 in but tbh I'm not excited about most of them, losses just starting to pile up and stuff like my best team is down to Levis only at QB. Long live Levis!

The game we play is top two teams make it but feel like it's bad luck for me when I comp it to standard FFPC format were 4 teams make the playoffs. In this format 11 of my 12 teams finished in the top 4, the 12th was 5th. Give me a year where 11 of my 12 teams finish in the top 4 of standard FFPC and I'm one happy camper. As is I'm right at break even in a format it's hard to win more so meh.

Dynasty
Click to expand...
Feels like a subpar dynasty season on the whole so far. My actual leagues with FFPC.

The good.

I am in two $500 leagues and they are both top seed with one of them having one having a strong 13 out of 14 weeks going 13-0 and getting 50 out of 52 VP's those 13 weeks. I was absolutely trying for an undefeated season, had my one really bad week in week 12 to end that. Gave me a bad memory of year one of this league which was 2012 where I was having a similar type season and went into week 13, the final week back then, 12-0 with 46 out of 48 VP's. I then proceeded to lose that week, finish 4th in the playoffs, did not even win my entry fee back and my team was listless for a few seaons after so sure as heck hoping history does not repeat itself.

The meh.

Not sure if this is good or bad, end story will probably be bad but for now we'll go with meh. Got a $750 team that had made the playoffs every season of the league, which started in 2013, with 8 of those 11 seasons as a final 4 team. So as a point of pride I really wanted to keep this intact but my team is really starting to peter out. Worst RB situation of a team of mine to ever make the playoffs, got about 8 points a game from RB2 and my RB1 is old, Kamara, so in a draft very deep at RB easy to make the case this was an ideal year to NOT make the playoffs . Got in barely as seed 6 so that's the good news, maybe, but Deebo/Kittle start will probably just have me ended up picking 7. If $$$ won equal success, this is a supreme longshot but I'll try and comfort myself with pride of making playoffs all 12 seasons.

The bad.

My other $750 team had not only made the playoffs all previous 9 years of the league but was a final 4 team every year. Last year it clinced the top seed in week 10 or 11. Went into the season thinking this team has best shot to win, had 3 of the consensus top 6 players, 4 of the top 10, coming of dominant season, etc,etc. Stayed in hunt till last week but did not make it and team never really hit, was stagnant all year.

The really really bad.

Our Sharkpool league. A lot if firsts for me in this league. First time ever having lowest point total in a league. First time ever getting a bye in the draft pick playoffs. Was already the first team of mine to go 3 years without making the playoffs, now up to 4. I've never misevaluated a team of mine more. I said that $750 team above was my what I thought was my best chance to win but based on roster makeup I would have chosen this team over any of my other dynasty teams, including 2 that are private leagues in FFPC format with FFPC players. It seems laughable to say now, but I really viewed my team as a major contender heading into the season. Woof. This team confuses he heck out of me, don't know what to make of it on the whole or week to week.
 
My brutal FFPC post season continues. My only FPC championship team looked really good a couple of weeks ago. It features Walker and Montgomery.

I might win the consolation in the Main event. I am not sure that will make me happy though
 
Regular season went super well.

We'll see if I can finally break the postseason curse and do above average in the championships this year. I think across all my leagues I'm like 2-11 in championship game the last couple years.
 
Had a FFPC dynasty missed a bye by 1 VP was #1 scoring team in total pts and if I don't get 65.1 more pts from Darnold, Bijan, Jefferson, Addison and Hockenson than Arron Jones the season is over thanks to sitting Brian Thomas Jr for Addison.

My day went so bad yesterday that at one point I was in first place of the FPC toilet bowl and that was easily the highlight of my day.
