do you know what really sucks? Scoring well above the average but losing to the #1 score of the week. Now you not only have a loss but you don't get an early waiver pick either.

The only time I EVER look at projections is for IDP/kickers. And even that is rarely accurate.
I think on a one-week basis, fantasy football is 55/45 skill/luck. With each successive week the skill level increases and the luck level decreases.
As an example, I joined a work league with total nubes. I can dominate these guys in my sleep. But I'll lose week 1 unless Victor Cruz gets 17 points. Me finishing top 2 or 3 is 95% likely. Me finishing first? Probably 65-70%.
Winning the league requires tons of luck. Doing well (top third) consistently requires skill.
Don't fret one week. Stay the course. But don't rely on FBguys for your projections. Pick a starting lineup of what you feel is your best lineup and roll them out every week. Don't play matchups.

Just walk away and begin to enjoy more of your life and the game of football again (minus the fantasy).I relied heavily on FBG projections and software this year in both of my leagues. The Rate My Team feature had me as odds on favorite in both leagues. I am the only FBG subscriber in either league.
I am well on the way to having the low score in both leagues. How can they be so bad?

Am I wrong to see my little subscription amount as a way to pay FBG a bit for the FFA? I spend a bunch of time here, and often am using a browser w/o ads, so for a bit of $$$ I get FF info and the FFA.

That's exactly how I see it. I feel obligated to purchase a subscription.Am I wrong to see my little subscription amount as a way to pay FBG a bit for the FFA? I spend a bunch of time here, and often am using a browser w/o ads, so for a bit of $$$ I get FF info and the FFA.
Timchochet should feel the same way--although in his case he should purchase a half dozen subscriptions to equal out all the bandwidth he sucks up.

Cognitive dissonance? My favorite concept from PSYC 101.
This whole thread is hilarious.
