I won 4 out of 6.

They cost $10.00. You get $20.00 for winning the league. (Plus a shirt and 10,000 WBUCkS)

One league was free from FBG, but I assume that FBG picked up the tab on that one.

So I won $80, me and FBG spent $60. They are $20 in the hole just on me before the playoff's start.

I am not a great FF player, just a lil' above average. I assume that most had the results same as me.

If that is true.......

I suspect less than 50% of players won their leagues so they aren't in the hole.

agreeI had 3 free ones, I won one of them

I handily won my league, and that was the free FBG entry. I didn't pay for any additional teams.

So, they're in the hole for at least $10 plus a t-shirt, I suspect $20, as I doubt FBG paid for our entries.

There are probably many reasons I won't participate again next year, but aside from all of the site related issues, I don't like that type of waiver system. I see no reason to reward the worst teams with waiver priority every week. Why should the strong teams be penalized by allowing weak teams to narrow the gap with the best free agent pick-ups?

Why do you suspect this? There are atleast 3 sites who stopped playing based on line-ups. FA's were pretty much a wash, you could get for the most part who you wanted in the first window.No site put value on WR as they should.And I will say that I loved the format. I will play next year as long as they are able to pay out all prize money this year. I don't think I am going to win the $250,000; but I worry for the guy that does. It is paid over 5 years; this just doesn't seem like a 5 year winning prop.

Why do you suspect this?

Because not everyone is as skilled at fantasy football as you are.

I get my ### handed to me in over 50% of my leagues. It isn't about skill, it is about format and sites (teams) laying down on them.

I played just the free one and finished 1st. 10-1. So what happens now? Isn't there some sort of playoffs deal? I can't set my roster for this week...

They say things will be good to go this afternoon, which likely means Wednesday. They better hurry, there are 3 Turkey day games this week.The top tier (33% I think) play for the $250,000 in a total point battle over the next 5 weeks. You also get your regular season average score added to your total.

Tough luck, 2 of your leaderboard ranks beat all of my teams.

1/1 (by 2 games) This was my draft 3 WR's and a TE experiment. (then Addai and Rice).

Just goes to show how much luck went into these. My #1 team was actually up to about 12th in the Overall Leaderboard just a few weeks ago, but a few down weeks dropped me significantly. I'm not gonna beat John Lowery anyway. I just can't wait to get that T-shirt.

I know Rice was undervalued by the "pros"....WR heavy was the way to go given the scoring system.DeSean Jackson was a must have.

 

[lyon812]

1/1 with my free entry.

10-1 record, currently ranked #52 in the Championship Bracket. Pretty much running with my team as originally drafted, except defense. Extremely WR heavy. Finished 13th in the FBG group.

I enjoyed it overall because it was free. If I'd paid, I would have been much more annoyed with the technical glitches and inconsistencies.

I also won my free league through FBG. Sitting at 307 overall. Not sure my average will be high enough to compete for the 250k.... but at least I have a shot.

consider this: the average of the top team is around 160 and the average near the end of the bracket is probably near 110. so, there's only a 50 point handicap TOTAL.all one would need is to average 10 points more in each of the next 5 weeks to make up the difference.

1/1

Only did the free FBG to test it out. Might spend money next year.

Went 8-3, won by 1 and led in total points.

Now at #458.. 23 points behind #1 due to average of weeks 1-11.
