18-19 players feels best right now.

 

[rustycolts]

I think I have finally came up with my entry.Back to a large entry for me 29 players.Last year I went small and was eliminated right away so hopfully bigger is better.

 

[jandyt]

Zero chance this will be my final roster. But, here's where I'm at now. Feel free to critique, although I should note that I haven't put much thought into the kickers and defenses yet.

That's pretty much my strategy for K and D

Kicker and DT are actually the position I think Im least likely to switch at this point.

 

[rustycolts]

2 QBs @ 27

5 RBs @ 86

14 WRs @ 102

3 TEs @ 20

3 Ks @ 6

3 Ds @ 9

Decided to go with 30.

 

[Scoresman]

I see a lot of wasted money on these large rosters getting posted.

 

[bcat01]

Anyone know the roster sizes of past winners?

Anyone know the roster sizes of past winners?

On average, 28.

Not me. I'm at 30 players with $1 to spare!

Does anyone remember how much OBJ cost in this contest last season? If I were to guess, I'd say $9 but I have no recollection.

Pretty sure he was $4

And now it seems they've overcorrected with DeVante Parker which means he's probably the sucker bet this season. I hope I'm wrong as I invested in Parker a lot in drafts this summer, FFPC included. But now that I think about it, he's definitely nowhere near a value compared with OBJ last season if $4 is accurate. Foot surgery is definitely more concerning than a hammy, imo. I'm probably avoiding Parker unless I can get him in rounds 15+ like I did this summer.

E2A: Whoa! I went all redraft there for a minute. Lost myself in what thread I was in.

 

[HairySasquatch]

Here is what I'm currently fighting with in this contest:

Plan A:

6 RB- 3 starters and 3 handcuffs (not for players on my roster...Matthews, Starks, and Artis-Payne)

and

6 WR- 4 starters and 2 lottery tickets (two $5 wr)

Plan B:

4 RB- 4 starters

and

4 WR- 4 starters

I feel that plan A gives me the best chances for survival. An injury to Murray, Lacy, or Stewart would give me as much fire power as Plan B gives. It also includes two bonus WR as insurance and I am convinced they will score at some point.

Plan B gives the higher possible points for any given week....if the starters perform as expected. This group gives me the best chance to get over the 200 point per week mark. An injury or multiple players having an off week would be the end of this team.

Either way is a gamble...the cards have to fall right and you have to hope the Turk God likes your team.

 

[Deamon]

Gotta think Hillman is the ticket to win this contest this year.

 

[flc735]

What $ amount would feel comfortable sharing the same bye week?

 

[Foxer2373]

I am waiting to see the guy this year that goes with an 18 roster with the 6 two dollar kickers. Barring injury could go on a decent run.

 

[FUBAR]

Gotta think Hillman is the ticket to win this contest this year.

Him, Chris Johnson and Reggie Wayne.

 

[The Kerminator]

Gotta think Hillman is the ticket to win this contest this year.

Added him a week ago when reports came out he was pushing for the no. 2 job in Denver

ETA: Glad he's on page 2 of the player list and only eligible to those subscribers that pay for the bonus list. At $1 he's a no-brainer. And before my pm box gets filledwith questions, the coupon code for access to the special players list is SCBONUS

Don't forget to capitalize all letters of the bonus code. I just tried SCBonus and it didn't work.

[Raback]

I see a lot of wasted money on these large rosters getting posted.

I didnt mean leftover money, I meant too many players who wont make a difference.

I go back and forth on roster size. I've tried both large and small rosters in the past. This year I am settled in at 24, which is still a very stud heavy lineup. It's hard to remember years past, but this year I feel like there is a lot more value in some of the cheap players, especially at WR.

 

[Raback]

Barring injury or other major shakeup this is what I have...

QB - 4 @ $23

RB - 5 @ $115

WR - 7 @ $62

TE - 3 @ $35

K - 3 @ $6

DEF - 3 @ $9

 

[Tennessee_ATO]

Just checking in. My current roster (version 1.A.) is at 28. Some obvious values I expect to be owed by huge percentages of people. I'm not entirely sure how to play that honestly.

 

[HairySasquatch]

Does anyone remember how much OBJ cost in this contest last season? If I were to guess, I'd say $9 but I have no recollection.

Pretty sure he was $4

And now it seems they've overcorrected with DeVante Parker which means he's probably the sucker bet this season. I hope I'm wrong as I invested in Parker a lot in drafts this summer, FFPC included. But now that I think about it, he's definitely nowhere near a value compared with OBJ last season if $4 is accurate. Foot surgery is definitely more concerning than a hammy, imo. I'm probably avoiding Parker unless I can get him in rounds 15+ like I did this summer.

E2A: Whoa! I went all redraft there for a minute. Lost myself in what thread I was in.

This could be similar to the OBJ situation from last year. He had talent, but an injury scared people away. There was no buzz around him becuase he didn't play in the pre-season. Most people didn't have him on their roster...but he exploded in the playoffs. Parker could be on the same path.....but I do agree that he is a little more of a risk with the increase in cost.

There is also risk in that Cruz/Randle were the only other legit targets in the offense(last summer we were writing off the TE's). In MIA Landry may not be as talented as Parker but his role seems cemented and he's a security blanket for Tannehill. If Cameron is healthy he could also be a target hog. People want to write off Jennings but he is the type of receiver that Tannehill loves. I don't see Stills as the type of guy that forces a split of targets with a guy as talented as Parker, but plenty of other people disagree with me. Even Mathews is more familiar with the offense and qb and may have a solid part in the offense. Bottom line, the team is swimming in receiving threats and can afford to bring Parker along slowly. The NYG's didn't have that luxury. Add an improved defense and Miller looking strong in the running game and the potential is there for less of a passing pie than last year to be split into so many pieces.

At that price Parker seems like a huge gamble.... but you probably win contests like this by hitting on a few guys with very, very high ceilings and he does have that.

 

[SeniorVBDStudent]

Ugh...the slow erosion of studs on my roster as more and more fools gold appears on the radar...Cotchery, Austin, Lockett, Watson, etc etc

 

[Foxer2373]

I am officially at the lowest amount ever at WR.....

Curious there has been very little comments about this crazy increase this year on kickers and defenses. Wondering if guys are going one crazy expensive one or multiple cheaps?

I wouldn't go with just one kicker or defense....I'm tempted to go with Seattle even with the high price just because of Lockett's returns. That kid is going to bring multiple returns to the house this season.

What other teams are you guys high on for kick returns?

I also like the Jets, Broncos, Dolphins at a mid level price tag.

I think the $2 kickers are going to be on a lot of teams. I might have to upgrade a couple of them to get some variance....but I personally would take four $2 kickers over any two higher priced kickers.

I was looking at 3 cheap DT'S now I am pretty settled on 2 mid range ones who I think pair up well and have a good closing stretch if I make it that far. Kickers still thinking 3 or 4 cheap ones is best route.

 

[Tennessee_ATO]

To win it you need the most points (net), not the best value to the dollar. And assuming everyone has him, your net advantage in having him is 0.. your $9 gained you nada.

True that dollar values are meaningless once the season begins.But if Adams lights it up in the final 3 weeks then your $9 bought you the right to hang in there with the rest of the herd and not get left behind. That's not nothing, to use a double negative. Don't think of it as a direct advantage, think of it as avoiding a potentially severe disadvantage.

If you don't take Adams you are essentially betting he has a bad season, and even more so a poor showing in the last few weeks, which is of course entirely possible.

This.

The way I see it is....with Adams, you're getting a WR2 value at $9. You would be dumb not to take it. To get a good WR2, you would need to spend $17-20. So now I have $8-11 to gamble with elsewhere. That is how my team is going to separate itself from the pack.

This is where it gets fun. I would ask how far you are separated when they all have Adams as well?

This will help get through the first 2/3rds of the season where you only need to beat the bottom halfish of the pool... in the end, versus the top rosters, if Adams is everyone's WR2 you didn't really gain anything. It is obviously a gamble.

Again I may be over thinking it. It may also be that I am not so sure Adams is going to be that for sure WR2.

Of course you're not gaining anything if Adams is everyone else's WR2. I get that it's no guarantee that Adams will be a WR2....but you can say that with a WR like Keenan Allen, who you need $20 to roster. At worst, Adams is a WR3, worth the $9 price tag.

How far are you separated? That depends on how you spend the $8-11 that you're saving by "locking" in Adams' WR2 at $9. You either spend more for a bigger stud that can carry your team, or you can buy 2 or 3 more cheap players and hope one hits big. That's up to you.

Not taking Adams will expose you to the risk that.....he explodes one week....(say 10/150/2) and since the vast majority has him, that could cause the cut line to go up. So you will need to find someone else to hit big that week just to keep pace.

This would be precisely what Kelvin Benjamin did to me in Week 10 last year. He was the lord king on high of garbage time scoring and was in rare form on that Monday night game -- 2 completely and utterly meaningless 4th quarter TDs. His numbers hadn't been sufficiently culled and I watched the cut-line rise up and bite me in the ###.

 

[LittlePhatty]

Well, with the news today we can add another cheap QB to the list of highly-owned players.

 

[93_Confirmed]

I'm sure I'll get a bunch of bogus replies on this but what happens in this contest when someone drafts a player that is listed under an old team. For example, you take Scobee - JAX who is now with PIT? Does the system register those points or is it a complete loss because that player still registers as being with JAX?

It's already been changed to Pitt.

It's already been changed to Pitt.

Ah, ok. I thought they didn't make any updates at all once it was set.

They don't update prices or names, they do change teams (had already done that with Hartley to PItt). FTR, even when a player gets traded during the season, you own the player so you keep getting his points--even if he plays an extra game because of it.

Technically not an update like adding or removing players. Just a correction since he switched teams. Players that get traded during the season will be moved to their new team too.

JAX was removed?

eta - No JAX, 2 PIT kickers

Well, with the news today we can add another cheap QB to the list of highly-owned players.

There are suddenly lots of cheap QBs to pick from. Can't take all of them, and who knows which will still be starting 8 weeks into the season when points are tight?

No players were removed or added.

There's no JAX kicker currently because whoever their backup K is wasn't originally listed in the contest.

If they sign a kicker that is currently a part of the contest then he will have JAX listed by his name.

If they go with a kicker who is not currently part of the contest, then JAX will not have a kicker in the contest.

There should be a lot of 3 qb rosters now...now the question is if you can pick the QB who will start 16 games. I think it is worth a shot at grabbing one of them. Heck, Fitzpatrick last year scored 14+ points in all but one game that he was healthy with 3 games 20+ and 1 game of 40+. Sounds like a great insurance policy if you ask me.

I have no doubt that I submitted the winning entry.

The problem is, I've also submitted 23984239 other entries as well, so I likely have kept the wrong one, and the winning entry will torment me as "what could have been".

Its a devious contest. Just when you think you have everything perfectly ironed out there's a sudden wrinkle that ends up unravelling the entire roster and you're back to square one.

I've had the same 3 cheapo QBs on my roster for like 2 weeks. Why couldn't this contest lock earlier?

Let me rephrase: you can't take all of them without wasting so much money that you have no chance of winning.

Two cheap QB's > Palmer, Carr, or Smith

Pair them with a mid-level QB and you are set at QB for a bargain....The extra $10 bucks will buy some nice upgrades in other areas and you will still have 3 qbs to get points each week.

Heck, if you want to splurge and pair them with a stud QB, you are still at a good price point.
