If you made it to next week's FF championship game... (1 Viewer)

Thought it would be interesting to see what is the makeup of teams that have made it to the finals. Here's mine:

Starters:

Peyton Manning

Michael Turner

Matt Forte

Steve Slaton

Dwayne Bowe

Deion Branch/Domenik Hixon (gotta decide between the two)

Jason Witten/John Carlson (again I'll decide between them this week)

Ryan Longwell

Steelers

As you can see, my team is top heavy, with the WR's kind of weak. Please show us your lineup, if you made it.

 
A bunch of players. I'd post the details, but no one really cares.
I care. That's why I started the thread. I want to see what combination of players equalled success in your league.
The ones who scored enough points in my scoing system in weeks 1-13 to secure a playoff spot and then scored enough points to beat another lineup of players in weeks 14 and 15.
 
Seeing as I haven't made it to our Championship in about 5 years, and haven't won it all in 8 years, I'll give you mine. We are a PPR league that awards small bonuses when a player scores "out of their element" (A QB rushing for a TD, a WR rushing for a TD, etc). Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 D/ST:

Aaron Rodgers

Steven Jackson

Cadillac Williams

Andre Johnson

T.J. Houshmandzadeh

Tony Gonzalez

John Kasay

Jets D/ST

Bench-

S. Wallace

Benson

D. Foster

B. Jackson

Cotchery

Hixon

 
Tony Romo

DeAngelo Williams

Maurice Jones Drew

Pierre Thomas

Calvin Johnson

Antonio Bryant

John Carlson

Nick Folk

Miami Dolphins

reserves -

Matt Schaub

Joseph Addai

Marques Colston

DeSean Jackson

Owen Daniels

Nate Kaeding

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Gonna lose next week though as my team is all smoke and mirrors - the guy I face is the highest scoring team in the league (who I somehow beat twice during the regular season). Second place money is still good.

 
I made it with this lineup (10 team/start 2 qb):

Rodgers

Cassel

M. Turner

C. Johnson

Fitzgerald

Wayne

Royal

Olsen/Scaife

Bironas

Giants D

 
These are my starters (not liking my chances with MB3 iffy)

Cutler

MB3

MJD

Grant

Jennings

Andre Johnson

Avery/ocho/Hightower/Foster (final Flex spot)

Owen Daniels

Bironas

 
I have two of three teams make it to the championship. I drafted Steven Jackson in the first in both.

One team-12 team redraft-Championship lineup...

QB-Cassel (Romo on the bench)

WR-Andre Johnson (Drafted)

WR-B. Edwards (Traded for)

WR-L. Moore (FA) or Mason (Trade)

RB-Gore (Traded for) or M. Morris (FA)

RB-ADP (Traded for)

Flex-S. Jackson (Drafted)

TE-Who knows (Winslow still on team)

i am in a very competitive 14 team redraft league. I cant believe I am in. HAH.

we start 1QB, 1RB, 3WR/TE 1 flex, 1PK and 1 D

Schaub, Pennington, Garrard

Barber, Thomas, K.Smith, LJ (had Moore)

Bowe, Bruce, Holt, Reg.Williams, Z.Miller(had Winslow)

Kaeding, J.Reed(picked up for this week)

GB, Bills

Ours league's worse team ever to make it to the superbowl. Lucky schedule, had the least points against for the season. Only team to have less than 1100 scored against.

Team2 is much better but screwed up the lineup. I need 18 from Westbrook tonight. 12 team redraft

Schaub, Thigpen, Wallace

Westbrook, Thomas, Ward, C.Taylor, Forte

A.Johnson, B.Marshall, L.Moore

Shaun Hill

Trent Edwards

This is a dynasty league so I got rod of some excess waste for some guys who may have pototential for the future recently on the waiver wire.

 
I'm not sure if girly 8teamers are laughed at in these parts, but...

Romo/Ryan

Turner/CJ3/SJax

AJ/Megatron/Colston

Clark

Longwell

Packers

By far the best reg. season I guess because Romo was on fire earlier when my RB's & WR's weren't and lately vice versa.

Probably an underdog against the 2nd place ADP/Deangelo team that beat me twice, but hey it's tough to beat a team 3 times right?

 
12 team redraft non PPR

Cutler/Thigpen

Portis, S Jax, C Johnson, Thomas, Brown

A Johnson, Marshall, Welker, Mason, Breaston

Praiter, Carpenter

NYJ, MIA

Oh wait, I lost this week, I'll be playing for 3rd

Stupid not playing Thomas :yawn:

 
10 team non-PPR - standard scoring

Starters:

QB Matt Schaub (I flip flop between Thigy depending on matchup)

RB Adrian Peterson

RB DeAngelo Williams

WR Reggie Wayne

WR Brandon Marshall

WR Vincent Jackson

TE John Carlson® (I fip between Daniels depending on matchup)

PK Neil Rackers, ARI

Def Bears

Bench:

QB Tyler Thigpen, KC

RB Chester Taylor, MIN

RB Maurice Jones-Drew, JAC

WR Deion Branch, SEA

WR Ted Ginn Jr., MIA

TE Owen Daniels, HOU

Def Colts, Team Defense, IND

 
It is interesting to see some common trends. I'm seeing a lot of Andre Johnson and Calvin Johnson and QB's are all over the board.

Here's mine:

League 1:

Kurt Warner

Larry Fitzgerald

Anquan Boldin

Calvin Johnson

Chris Johnson

Reggie Bush

Tony Gonzalez

Bench:

Peyton Hillis

Eddie Royal

Owen Daniels

League 2:

Drew Brees

Brian Westbrook

DeAngelo Williams

Steve Slaton

Andre Johnson

Roddy White

John Carlson

Bench:

Calvin Johnson

Peyton Hillis

Eddie Royal

Owen Daniels

League 2:

Drew Brees

Brian Westbrook

DeAngelo Williams

Steve Slaton

Andre Johnson

Roddy White

John Carlson (dropped Kellen Winslow III)

Bench:

Calvin Johnson

Dwayne Bowe

Dustin Keller

Ronnie Brown

Dominic Rhodes

Pierre Thomas

 
10 team redraft with one keeper, RB rec TD's and QB rushing TD's are double

QB: Rodgers/Delhomme/Thigpen

RB: Barber (keeper)/Peterson/Williams

WR: Calvin Johnson/Bowe/Roddy White/Colston

TE: Daniels

K: Crosby/Scobee

D/ST: Bears/Cardinals

My first hunch is teams with Rodgers and Williams have all done pretty well as they were acquired on the cheap.

 
10 teams

I've made so many trades this season that my team looks a LOT different from when it started...I started off with LJ, Holt (instead of Marshall), Crumpler, and a group of other flops. I've owned Grant, SJax, Ginn (when he stopped sucking), Breaston...all these pieces helped me win games and helped me acquire my current starters.

Starters:

Brees

Turner

Pierre Thomas/Leon (played the matchups)

Calvin

AJ

Jennings

Holmes/Cribbs

Carlson (was Winslow until he got hurt)

Elam

Jets D/ST

The huge key for me was, and always is, trading for studs when they're not doing so well and trading away mid-tier players when they're blowing up.

This is my fifth championship game in five years in this league. 8^)

 
10 team keeper

Cutler

DeAngelo (he seems to be showing up here a lot)

Addai/Rhodes

A Johnson (he also)

Larry Fitzgerald

Steve Smith

T. Gonzalez

Nick Folk

rotating D based on matchup

I'm thinking I'll be dumping Addai this offseason for Cutler.

10 team PPR keep 3

Cutler, Cassel

ADP, CJ3, JStewart, CTaylor

SSmith, Megatron, Braylon, Breaston, Holmes

Scheffler, Z Miller

Jets, Bills

Kasay, Feely

3 weeks ago I moved SJax for Steve Smith and Stewart. Got me to the championship game. Also, I dropped DeAngelo that week that Ben Jarvis was a hot pickup, which happened to be the week that DeAngelo started his white hot run. I'll be facing him in the championship game. :excited: :lol:

12 team redraft, no ppr, standard scoring:

Lynch

R. Moss

S. Moss

VJax

Akers

Indy D

This is the core starters for most of the year. I also have Schaub, LJ, SA Holmes & Breaston in the mix.

 
In two different dynasty leagues made the superbowl in both. Start 1qb, 2wr (3 in one league) 2rb, 1te, 1k, 1def

League #1

Brees

Garrard

Gore

Portis

Forte

Mcgahee

Wayne

Fitz

Burress

Cooley

Elam

Vikings def

League #2 (first year dynasty)

PPR IDP 10 team redraft

Warner (Thigpen)

B Jacobs (Sammy Morris has been a nice bench option lately)

A Peterson (also have C Taylor and L Washington)

Holt

Calvin Johnson

L Fitzgerald

Keller (and Shockey)

Vinitieri (Feely)

Mathis ( G Adams)

Harrison (Bullock)

Winfield (Mikell)

Going up against:

Addai

Lynch (C Johnson & D Ward)

Welker

Edwards

Marshall (Evans)

Clark (Schaife)

Gostowski (Elam)

Cole (Hayesworth)

Briggs (Woodley)

Gamble (Woodson)

In my other league we have a wk 17 title game and as long as DeShean Jackson doesn't score 30 tonight I'll be in the semi's there going against a team with many similar players as my opponent here, so I'm ok if Cutler, Welker and Johnson all decide to go on vacation for a few weeks together now.

 
I generally rode Rodgers, Forte, Steve Smith and Pittsburgh DST during the season to get a bye in the playoffs. Won to get into championship game. 1/2 PPR.

Champ game starters same as the semis, most likely:

Rodgers

Smith

Welker

Forte

SJax

Cooley

some kicker

Pitt DST

TE: Gates

K: Mare

Def: Chicago

Randy Moss takes the flex spot when Sjax is out hurt.

 
Team 1 and Team 2 in my signature

team 1 ...im in the championship already.

I need McNabb and Akers to get me 23 to win it.

team 2

after tonight, I will be in the championship as I have it sealed already

 
You can see my team in my signature. I basically played best D/ST and kicker matchup each week throughout the season.

My team was a complete underperforming unit and somehow sneaked into the playoffs w/ a 7-7 record.

Here is who I rolled w/ to get me into the show.

QB HILL

RB RHODES

RB GRANT

WR WAYNE

WR BOWE

WR COLSTON

TE D. CLARK

K KEADING

D ARIZONA

 
12 Man PPR big money league

Warner, Thiggy

Westbrook, Addai, LT

Steve Smith (CAR) Andre Johnson, Boldin

Daniels, Shockey

Bryant

Giants, AZ, Browns (for week 16)

10 Man PPR league

Rivers, Hill

Bush, Slaton, Turner, Addai, Rhodes

Marshall, Steve Smith (CAR), Wayne

Keller

Bironas

TEN, Colts D

 
12 teamer, .5ppr for non-rb's

P. Manning, Schaub

Westy, DWilliams, Turner (start 2 + Flex)

A. Johnson, S. Moss, Breaston (start 2)

Winslow, Shiancoe

Kasay, Rackers

Minn, Buffalo

Was 1st in scoring and #1 seed for playoffs but have some tough matchups with week.

Favre/Hill/Garcia

MBIII/Turner/Bush/DeAngelo (via trade just before he blew up)

Andre Johnson (Traded TO for him)/Calvin Johnson/Colston/Holmes/Winslow

Bryant

Colts D

QB had kept me in the pack, only because I have started Favre ONLY in the games he was bad. I have sat him in every game in which he was good, including the 6 TD game. #3 seed headed into playoffs, but two wins and now on cusp of Super Bowl and total points $.

BUT, my opponent will run out:

Brees

Peterson/Pierre

VJax/Gates/Berrian (or Bruce)

Elam

Vikings or Dolphins

I think he'd have to be the favorite at this point. ;)

 
1 qb/1 rb/ 2wr/1te/1k/1dst/ 1flex

McNabb (drafted 2nd round)

All Day (Keeper)

Marsuck (keeper)

Chris Johsnon (6th round pick)

Andre Johsnon- 1st round pick

Brandon Marshall (4th round pick)

Steelers D (traded for)

revolving door at TE, K

 
Biggest money 12 team redraft:

Culter, Delhomme (only started Delhomme once or twice)

Peterson, T.Jones, Turner (start 1-2. Always a tough decision)

Steve Smith, Roddy White, Colston, S.Moss (start 3-4)

Gonzo (only trade. Got him for Royal)

Longwell

Bucs

4th year Dynasty. same starters

Schaub, Campbell, and Edwards (don't know how I pulled that off. Schuab has been huge last wto weeks when it mattered)

T.Jones, Portis, Washington, Betts, M.Bush, Mendy(took him 1.1)

Fitz, Roddy, Bryant, Harrison, M.Jones, Avery, Kelly

Cooley, Miller, Davis

Longwell

Jets

Keep 11 league.

Garcia, Campbell, Flacco

Gore, Turner, CJ, McGahee (start 2-3)

Randy, Jennings, Bowe, Evans, Branch, Avery

No TE league

Rackers

Cardinals, Chargers

 
10 team Standard scoring redraft. League has been playing for 5 years running.

I had the #1 overall pick, went 10-3 and had #1 seed in playoffs

My team........

LT

Portis

Fitz

Daniels

M Bryant

Panthers D

Bench

DeSean Jax

Calvin

Chad (WW pickup)

RB (start 2): MJD, T. Jones, D. Williams

WR (start 3): R. Moss, Roddy White, Cotchery, V. Jackson

TE: (Start 1): Witten, Scaife

K: Longwell

D: (been playing the waiver wire since it became clear that SD was not going to perofrm as projected, currently): Carolina

Started with Larry Johnson at RB, but got nervous whne McNabb was slumping and Schaub was injured adn dumped him to get Thigpen.
