Clicked through every page of the standings :(
I wish fanduel would add a search feature and .csv export option

We all ate it this week. Happy to see people getting tickets though. Best of luck for those securing tickets in the final

You guys have been tearing it up all year, a week like this is to be expected every now and then, maybe once per year on average? Especially since you can each only enter once and we can up to 5 times.

capping at 10 tickets again this year, correct?

This is the first week I decided to participate, and I (barely) managed to earn a ticket. I would very much appreciate if you experts would continue to tear it up the rest of the year to limit my competition in the final

Sigmund Bloom in 135th. He's definitely not using his own projections to make lineups

He passed me with that interception at the end of the gameSigmund Bloom in 135th. He's definitely not using his own projections to make lineups

I've been in this contest for 3 weeks. I my first week, I came 23rd and Bloom came 20th.ooh that'll sting for himSigmund Bloom in 135th. He's definitely not using his own projections to make lineups
Now he comes 112th.
If he wants to add value, he should do a piece on how he selects his team because he's using a lot more than only FBG tools.

I scanned twice and missed Joe both times. I'm not doing it again. The other 2 were really pretty low but have players to go yet.

Bloom has 95 + QB currently 834th
Dodds has 63.3 + QB, WR, and TE currently 1094th

I have Cam Newton, Greg Olsen and Ted Ginn. It likely won't matter much. This should be a great ticket week for everyone. Good luck.
Judging by the start of this game, it's not going to be an offensive showcase for either team. I should end up with 4 more tickets for a total of 8. I like this contest

This was asked in another thread but thought the breakdown more relevant here.
If my math is correct there are approximately 2129 tickets eligible for week 11 so far (last year there were 2776 in the final). Note that there will actually be a few less than that as that is maximum number of tickets, and any of those 2129 from people who would have won more than 10 tickets are also included in that number. However, there have also been a few ties and I'm not sure if a tie with the top staffer gets you a ticket or not. So, 2129 maximum so far, plus or minus a few, most likely a few less but not by much.
Cutoff place by week:
1: 86th
2: 292nd
3: 12th
4: 87th
5: 20th
6: 795th
7: 112th
8: 725th
Plus two weeks to go.

Took this from Bobcat10 in the FD thread
Jigandreel is at 130.96 with I'm assuming Gates and Langford.
Blackeyedjoe is at 128.26 with two WR's...which could be good for you if they match.

I finished at 141 with 164.56 points. One week left everyone. Best of luck next week and in the final.

Beat me by 3 points.
Tickets are hard to come by this year (which means the staff knows what they're doing, which means their content is indeed useful imo)

This link should work for this week's contest. It's from last week's email. I have a feeling it will fill up sooner than the others as this is the last week to earn tickets to the final.
SB is the only one who's entered so far out of the three. It'd be pretty funny if it filled up before Joe and DD could enter. Just sayin'.

I know the payouts for this contest are straight cash homey. But last year IIRC, I won a FBG subscription in week 11 of this contest and I'm wondering if FBG is giving out some kind of prizes in addition to Fan Duel paying out for 1st through 600? Or I might be getting all these contests mixed up - BTW, this is as good an opportunity as any to say how much I like all these contests that FBG runs - Thanks guys!

This year is just cash, last year did have some other prizes. This year also has a $40k prize pool that pays the top 600 places where as last year only paid the top 150 places (and not all were cash). For comparsion:I know the payouts for this contest are straight cash homey.

Last year (2014) had 2776 entries and the $25k prize pool was (it looks like the added prizes were not counted part of the $25k so this had closer to $30k in value):
1st: $10,000 and Titlecraft trophy
2nd: $5,000
3rd: $3,000
4th: $2,000
5th: $1,000
6th: $500
7th: $400
8th-12th: FPC Entry ($350 value)
13th: $300
14th: $200
15th-25th: $100
26th-55th: $50
56th-65th: 3 year FBG subscription
66th-100th: 1 year FBG subscription
101st-150th: FBG hat
----------------------
This year 2015 has 2729 entrants with prizes of:
1st: $5,000
2nd: $4,000
3rd: $3,000
4th: $2,000
5th: $1,000
6th: $900
7th: $800
8th: $700
9th: $600
10th: $500
11-12: $450
13-14: $400
15-16: $350
17-18: $300
19-20: $250
21-25: $200
26-30: $150
31-35: $125
36-40: $100
41-45: $95
46-50: $90
51-60: $85
61-70: $80
71-80: $75
81-90: $70
91-100: $65
101-110: $60
111-120: $55
121-130: $50
131-150: $45
151-175: $40
176-200: $35
201-225: $30
226-250: $25
251-300: $20
301-430: $15
431-600: $10
I prefer this year's more flat payout structure, the top few places still pay well enough for me if I get that lucky (only first place took a cut but I'd still be more than happy with $5k). With the exception of the FBG hat you could always just put any winnings towards a subscription or FPC entry if you want.

"There's always next year" 
Can't believe how many duds I hit on yesterday, be it due to injury or just crappy play..
@ QB - Carr blah.. Stafford not nearly what I expected.... Cam was the better play..
Still have Brady tonight in one lineup but he'd have to go for 500 yards and 5 or 6 TD's to give me a shot.
@ RB.. Freeman( 3 lineups) & West ( 3 lineups) out early due to injuries.. Lamar Miller, ADP and Woodhead put up junk..
@WR. Calvin Johnson, Stevie Johnson, Crabtree and even Fitzgerald with just 13 points were disappointing..

I thought last week was bad but this week in FD was awful.

4 out of my 5 were craptastic. The other 1 is hanging on by a thread for $10. Ebron let a TD slip through his fingers on the 1st Lion drive and things went downhill from there.

Currently have 1 entry in 11th place. However, at minimum I expect 7-8 guys to pass me even if their remaining guys (presumably Amendola) have a subpar game. Man the prizes fall off quickly.
Quick recap of the season - I was 11-12 in the weekly Double-Ups, so slight loss. However, I managed 10 tickets (some on losses, actually). Of the 10, it looks like I'll place in 3, possibly 4, of them. Net win for the contest! Thanks, Cam!

Still holding onto 2nd in FBG tourney. All Gronk ,No Amendola 2nd half
What David said.
We actually made it a point not to discuss this at all each week. We were all over the map it seemed. It was just fun for us. I wanted to win just for bragging rights, but I also never minded bombing as I loved seeing a bunch of guys get tickets in. This was another fun year.
