I run mine through MyFantasyLeague.com.Guillotine league players, where do y’all play? Is there a good/trusted website with open leagues you can join, or is it mostly a custom setup with people you know? Looking to try one out this year but unsure where to start looking.
TIA
The difference between this site and the one above is MFL has a weekly elimination up until Week 17. The other site stops eliminating with 4 teams left and those fight it out for top score over that span (I think).
Yeah, they do ok financially haha.Holy cow the rake on guillotineleagues.com is outrageous.
Goff, Stafford, Carr, Love, Purdy, Howell for meMIght be punting the QB position in my draft. My question now: How would you rank these QBs as having the highest FLOOR?
- Goff
- Pickett
- Carr
- Purdy
- Howell
- Stafford
- Tannehill
- Love
Really solid for 18 teamsOnly League: 18 Teams:
QB: Purdy, Young, Tannehill
RB: Bijan, Dameon Pierce, Charb, Gainwell, Dowdle
WR: Waddle, Kirk, Dotson, Jakobi Meyers
TE: Freiermuth, L Thomas
I went all RB or WR for the first 9 rounds aside from TE (Freiermuth).
A little risky but I waited to be the last one to take a QB (10th round).
After a few games, QB's will start getting cheap in blind bidding.
I wanted to take a top TE but was just bad timing / wrong spot in each round.
Week 1:
My team in the 12 team league coasted.
My team in the 15 teamer struggled. I finished next to last.
15 teams (14 remaining)
I bid120 on Lamb, 20 on Lamar (don’t overpay on QB’s).
Lamb went for 350. Lamar went for 325 to the same guy.
I bis 70$ on J Cook. He went for 200$.
I bid 50$ on R White. He went for 79.
In my 12 teamer:
I bid 200$ on CMC. He went for 1,000$. Yup. Someone spent it all.
I bid 45$ on Pierce. He went for 101$.
I bid 70$ on J cook. Got him there.
I bid 20$ on R White. Got hi. There. Felt like a steal. Always make a cheap bid just in case.
I think it's fine to bid like 20-25$ depending on how worried you are about the QB situation. I wouldn't get much crazier than that on QB this early in the season.Looking pretty good so far thanks to (mainly) CMC and Devonta Smith. Because Akers was my RB2 I threw a good bit of coin at James Cook and won last week.
Not sure if I should just save my money and roll with Daniel Jones and Russ Wilson or bid on Lamar Jackson. Thoughts on that, Guillotiners?
League 1: We started at 12 teams, now down to 9. (It's a Superchop). Actually pretty happy with the team overall. Sitting at 705$ FAAB.
QB: Lawrence
RB: Ekeler, Mixon, Aaron Jones, R White, Cook, Hunt. (I got Cook for 70$ and White for 20$ after week 1 with Ekeler and Jones injured).
WR: Adams/Chase/Godwin/Jeudy (Spent 175$ for Chase last week, thought someone would bid way more).
TE: Kittle and Njoku (submitted an underbid of 30$ on Kittle last week and no one else bid).
FA's
Hurts--QB is my weak spot and this is a huge upgrade. I don't want to overpay for a QB. Debating going as high as 50$. I assume someone else will pay more. But with the rest of the squad being solid--should I keep it closer to 30?
RBs: Mattison, Taylor, Rhamondre, Jacobs. I should sit tight at RB, right? I think Jones will be back this week. Ekeler could sit out a bit longer, but sounds like he's close to coming back. I ight do a few 10-25$ bits to see if I can steal someone
WR: Lamb, Ridley, Higgins, McLaurin, Puka. How much to throw at Lamb/Ridley/Higgins? I feel like the team is pretty solid and I want to hold onto some FAAB. I thought about throwing like 75$ at 1 or 2 of them and hoping the league stays pretty conservative.
League 2: Friends league--started out with 15 teams. Down to 12. I think the squad is a little underwhelming. I had Waddle and Barkley out this past week, and had my 2nd near death experience. I have 100% of my 1,000$ left.
QB: Goff
RB: Barkley/Javonte/Kelley/Dillon/Herbert/Akers/Craig Reynolds
WR: Waddle/Godwin/Kirk/Jakobi/Gabe Davis
TE: Andrews
QB: Fields and Lawrence cut. Not sure either is a significant upgrade with how they've been playing. I might go 20$ towards Lawrence. Should I be more aggressive?
RB: Ekeler, James Cook. If I was certain Ekeler would play this week, I'd pay up big. But there's a chance they hold him out through the week 5 bye. And I don't love the idea of paying big $$ to not use him for 2 weeks. I'm thinking moreso like 75-80$. Thoughts?
Cook--how much? My initial thought is ~100$. But maybe I need to be more aggressive given the state of my RB's.
WR's: AJ Brown, Devonte Smith, McLaurin, Pickens. I feel like the WR group is pretty good. BUT, Gabe Davis is so boom/bust, I wouldn't mind having another WR so as to not deal with the swings. How much for Brown/Smith/Mclaurin? I'm thinking 150-160$ for Brown, maybe 125$ for Smith, and like 75$ for McLaurin?
League 3: This one is kind of different and being run through Sleeper(it's a charity league), Commish is manually doing things. You do the usual FAAB bidding, which doesn't allow you to do all of the contingency things. GuillotineLeagues.com is the best way to do this and worth the few bucks it costs to host.
This is a 16 team SF league. Since it was only 16 teams, we waited until after week 3 to cut the 1st team. We have 200$ FAAB to work with, so the bids will be smaller.
Roster
QB: Mahommes/Richardson
RB: Mixon/Bigsby/Akers (ouch)/Sean Tucker
WR: Metcalf/Kirk/Nico/Cooks/Mingo/Hodgins
TE: Ertz/Schultz
Cuts: QB: Cousins, Pickett. As long as Richardson makes it back, I'll be ok at QB for a while. Curious though, what do people bid on QB's in SF leagues? I wouldn't mind the value bid on Cousins, but I'm banking on someone blowing a huge chunk of their FAAB. Maybe Pickett goes cheap under the radar with everyone focused on Cousins?
RB: Mitchell, Murray, Gibson--nothing to see here really.
WR: Kupp, Deebo, Zay Flowers, Tank Dell, Dotson. I'd love to get Deebo/Flwers/Dell. What's a good value bid on these dudes? Thinking like 10% on Deebo, 7-8% on Flowers and Dell.
TE: Chigg: Not really too excited about him.
The Charch pod is entertaining. One thing I don’t like about it is it seems every conversation ends with “here’s what I’d bid, but I won’t get him at that price”
I get trying to save for late season, but that extra budget does you no good if you’re knocked out in week 5.
Lawrence went for a whopping 151$. I got Fields for 1$ on the chance he shows some life.League 2: Friends league--started out with 15 teams. Down to 12. I think the squad is a little underwhelming.

I think I'd ride Goff...he's been equalish to Lawrence.
Ignore Ekeler, too risky. Average bid on guillotineleagues.com for Cook is $262. I'd bid $81 and see if I can get a bargain.
AWB on AJG is over $400. I think you're right on on AJB with your low bid. I'd ignore Smith and McLaurin because at this point they are no more consistent than Gabe.
Cousins went for 86/200$. Deebo 71/200$. That’s equal to 430$ and 355$ in a 1K budget league.

Not a SF guy in guillotines, but I think your numbers are high on the WRs. I'd not bit $100 on Deebo after the first cut. I'd chop those % in half. Just my two cents.
I like your thoughts a lot on this one. Feel like the team is solid and I’m already down to 705$. Value bid on everyone. Got no one. Hurts was my big want, and he went for 156$. I bid 51$.

I am a saver, not a spender. So take my thoughts with that grain of salt. Crazy how solid your team is (all mine are 18 team leagues so it gets thin QUICK). I'd be "underbidding" on only clear improvements and kind of hoping you don't win the bidding. Ignore RB. I'd say $30 max on Hurts. Ridley and Higgins too inconsistent for me in this format.

Love it. Fields/Warren were bargains. Way to go.
For comparison, in one of my leagues Josh Palmer went for $161. JOSH PALMER. Next highest bid was $75. People are not great at bidding, easier just to sit back and watch them blow their money.
I think you're pretty solid. Cousins has been elite QB wise, and I think you ride it until he puts up a dude. I'm pretty sure guillotineleagues don't penalize you for INT's/Fumbles. So if Kirk throws multiple INT's, it doesn't ruin your day.I have consistently been projected to be near the bottom, and so far have been fortunate to have finished near the top each week. I think QB is overrated in super chop since you only have 12 teams to start. I have been alternating Cousins and Daniel Jones. TE is also not much of a concern since this is not TE premium and all the TEs seem pretty bad this year. I just spent $23 to get Waller (next highest bid was $20).
Probably dump Shaheed for Roschon Johnson went free waivers open up today.
I don't love my WRs but they are serviceable. Saving up for a top 1-5 guy.
Etienne and Bijan were available this week -- Etienne went for $212 and Bijan for $404. Hurts went for $99 and Thielen went for $67.
I agree with the above, that if your team is decent you should save your money for later. Once down to 5 or 6 teams I'll bid more if a super stud comes out.
Current FAAB $911
QB -- Jones, Cousins
RB -- Mostert, JCook, JGibbs, Brian Robinson, JTaylor (picked up for free)

Cook and Gibbs are a fine 1-2 at RB.
WR: ARSB is elite. Wilson on kind of a never ending train wreck. He's talented enough to not give you zero's, but I'd be looking to replace him. He's someone I'd consider doing the "sabotage drop" with after the next round. Let someone else burn up their FAAB on him and then start him. Zack Wilson aint getting better anytime soon. Watson is a fine #2 if he plays. Tutu has been a good PPR Guy.
Standard Guillotine league with 15 teams left?Still alive...
QB - Jones and Russ, although I am going to throw a little cash at Lamar again this week (the guy who won him last week got cut!)
RB - CMC, Cook and Ford look like my starters moving forward, with Akers hanging on in case he takes the MIN backfield and runs with it. Put a bid in on Henry but he'll go for more than what I bid
WR - Devonta, Metcalf, Thomas starting with Rashee Rice and Rondale Moore on bench.... would cut Rice for King Henry... also put a secondary bid on Garrett Wilson (for Rice) but will probably be outbid
TE - Engram with Chig as emergency/bye week fill
If you Need him/want to try to win him, I think you're looking at around 350 as your best shot. But I wouldn't be surprised if someone blows it out for him. I just wouldn't want to be there. Realistically, I'd like to be closer to like 250.Oh boy, JJ just got chopped, how much is too much?
GL bidding data says that last week the average winning bid for him was $663, the minimum winning bid was $400.
The highest bids in our league so far this year have been:
$325 for Tony Pollard in Week 2
$250 for Patrick Mahomes in Week 3
$202 for Saquon Barkley in Week 4
$170 for Davonta Smith in Week 4
It's a really delicate balance. You want to save as much for as long as you can, but you also have to recognize when to spend. No glory in dying rich in guillotine leagues.I've been pretty close to getting chopped in 2/3 weeks so far.
Started with 18 teams and Pierce, Kirk, and Dotson have been trouble.
Picked up DJM cheap but he's another guy very capable of a dud in that offense.
QB - Purdy, Howell
RB - Bijan, Pierce, Charb, Gainwell, Dowdle
WR - Waddle, Meyers, Kirk, DJM, Dotson
TE - Freiermuth, Henry
Have been trying to save but still putting in reasonable bids for players that would help and spend a bit more on top tier guys over the first 3 weeks.
Missed the deadline for bidding week 1 but I got DJM for $15 in the 2nd round when he was dropped.
After week 2, I missed on Mahomes by $34 and also missed on DeAndre (went for $63) but picked up Henry (got for $19)
After week 3, I just missed on DaVonta by $44 and Rachaad White by $1. I also missed on LaPorta (went for $100),
Barkley (went for $202), and Lockett (went for $81). I threw a few bucks on Fields for a developmental backup QB but he went for $28.
If I keep floating near the bottom (but survive) I'm going to have to kick up the bidding prices a bit.
It's such a delicate balance. I do think it's reasonable to play the odds that you'll survive without spending much in the 1st 4 weeks.I'm out in my league. Injuries and Tee Higgins killed me.
I will hold strong with my strategy on waiting to spend. I'd rather lose early with money saved than lose late because I spent all of my FAAB. Saving is the only way to win. Spend away if you like just to play along. There are teams in the league that have barely any FAAB left and have no chance of winning. The prices people pay are crazy in the early weeks.
I'd really like to see how a league of 100% experienced guillotine players who know this strategy would bid.
