)I looked at them to see 4 other players that are important to my team to see if they were the key to being unique. Namely Benson, Hightower, Santana Moss, and Daniels.11 of the other 31 have Daniels.7 of the other 31 have Hightower.Only 1 of the other 31 have Santana Moss.None of the other 31 have Benson.So I have a unique core 4 of Brady/ADP/VJax/Benson. I feel pretty good about that.-QG
Hello fellow Brady/ADP/VJax person. In spite of that in common we have pretty divergent lineups. Only 8 of our players are in common.Cheers.-QG
Basically, I spent more on my WR2 and WR3 and you spent less, which allowed you to get more depth than me. And as we know, lack of depth kills.
Heh. We'll seeBasically, I spent more on my WR2 and WR3 and you spent less, which allowed you to get more depth than me. And as we know, lack of depth kills.

Entry #109861109722107607106657102680102658102377100229I got 892 Stafford/Tate/Brown combos. I have to think about how to query for the most common combo.ETA: not going to get to it tonight.Here's a different twist for the querying Iggy (I'm jealous as a database hound I'd love to get my paws on the same and see what goofiness there is).What is the most common QB/RB/WR combo out there?By my dopey math method, there should be about 493 Stafford/Tate/A Brown owners out there
What about average money spent as a fraction of total per bye week? Could you figure that out?

With ~60% of the field still alive after Week 5 cuts and a ton of Week 5 byes you might still survive. Definitely too early to throw in the towel. Especially if you're other positions are solid.
64 teams did this (have their top 4 RBs all on bye week 5).ETA:1 team has their top 4 RBs off week 6.1 team has their top 4 RBs off week 7.4 teams have their top 4 RBs off week 8.Nobody did this for weeks 9 or 11.ETA 2: 7 teams have their top FIVE RBs off week 5.
My WR1 (Brandon Marshall) is also on bye week 5...Rolling with Isaac Redman and Taiwan Jones as my only RBs that week. Live and learn. I don't pay much attention to byes in real drafts so it just slipped my mind when putting this team together. It'll be fun to follow this a bit this year though and see what kind of team setups last til the end.
Do you have the rosters pre-loaded? If not, perhaps I could send you all the rosters so people won't each have to enter their own team, like I think it was in previous years.
Yeah, I have all the rosters loaded up, thank you for the offer though
Same issue
Hey guys, looks like with this being a new server, I forgot to turn on the email component, I just did and activated anyone's accounts that signed up today.We should be good to go, PM me here or there if you have any issues.
Great! Thanks for doing this!
Not sure exactly what you mean by this, can you explain?
I think he's looking for how much money was spent on players with the same bye weeks. For example, if someone had 3 players with week 5 bye costing $5, $15, and $20, then it'd be $40/$250 or 16%. So I'd guess you'd do this for each team and then find the average by the bye week.
This can just be derived from the ownership stats. Here are the results:Week 5: 23.4%Week 6: 18.5%Week 7: 15.0%Week 8: 16.9%Week 9: 11.9%Week 11: 14.2%So we might conclude that the cut line week 5 will be relatively low, while the cut line week 9 will be relatively high.
For instance my $ spent in each bye week is:Week 5 - $66 or 26%Week 6 - $73 or 29%Week 7 - $65 or 26%Week 8 - $3 or 1%Week 9 - $22 or 9%Week 11 - $21 or 8%What would be the averages for all of the teams?

See, I don't understand the bolded. You continually reference ownership stats, as if there's some intrinsic value in selecting lesser-owned players. There isn't. All that matters is scoring the most points. This isn't a serpentine draft where there might be some "value" to zigging while others are zagging and vice versa.IF you think Rivers will outproduce Roethlisberger, you're not giving yourself an advantage by selecting the lesser owned Roethlisberger. If you think Tate will outproduce Ward, there's no "value" to taking the Ward just because you think fewer people will do so. If your gut instinct is that VJax and Dez are going to have good seasons, then there's no reason to avoid them because you think they'll be too highly owned.
Those aren't just the main guys you're relying on, they seem to be pretty much the only guys you're relying on. I don't think this team has a very good chance of surviving past week 6 or 7:

I'm sure you guys put a lot of thought into this decision. Might I humbly point out two things:1) These teams didn't necessarily want McCluster as an RB. They might have selected McCluster as a WR in an earlier iteration, then made some other change to their roster (not noticing that McCluster had moved from WR to RB) and submitted. So while I get that you want to honor the entrants intentions, you may want to confirm with them if possible and if you haven't already.'Doug Drinen said:Quick official note here, and major apologies to you guys trying to maintain databases
Dexter McCluster had his position switched in the master FBG database a couple of times during the contest entry period. I thought I had this accounted for, but I didn't. The upshot is that three teams (Marquis, #109608, and #109619) snagged McCluster as an RB. All the other teams who have McCluster did so while he was a WR.
For official scoring purposes, the three teams listed above will have McCluster as an RB, and all others will have him as a WR. In other words, on your team, he will be treated appropriately for the column in which he was listed when you clicked the submit button.

Thanks for the head-up (says the non-McCluster owner).And thanks for getting the querier back up and going
