The FBG Fanduel championship (1 Viewer)

Somehow, I got an entry into the big game this week. I am sure every one of you who made it is excited as well. Hopefully I can put up a good showing!

Here is the lineup I'm considering. The Lindley/Housler combo is likely one no one else will have so if they hit, I'll be golden! With Mathews out, Brinkley will be the man.

QB

Ryan Lindley

$5,000

RB

Curtis Brinkley

SD@NYJ

$5,400

RB

Pierre Thomas

NO@DAL

Haha very nice lineup. I will give you a peek at mine later this week. See you in the finals. 15k would be one nice Christmas present!

 

[jeano]

No doubt Eaglezzz, by the looks of your lineups and the wisdom in your posts the rest of us may be shooting for 2nd.

At first glance week 16 looks very tough. Not many favourable matchups

I won an entry in Week 9...has anyone else thats won an entry received an email on how to enter for Week 16?

 

[eaglezzz]

No details yet

Nope.

 

[jeano]

We probably won't receive any notification until at least after the last winners are set tonight.

True. That makes sense. Needless to say I am super pumped for the contest.

 

[eaglezzz]

Check your emails, Cameron at FD just sent out the link to register.

 

[elkurzhal]

Looks like some confusion...

I had 2 entries, but there are 30 different names on the list. Emailed Cameron and he quickly put my second entry in, but I see the 3rd place finisher from week 12, pipedream, also entered. Maybe he/she won another week?

Edit - pipedream no longer shows an entry, guess that was an error and is fixed.

 

[eaglezzz]

Anyone have the guts to start any of these value RB's with 15K on the line?

A.Green 5000

D.Williams 5400

Ballard 5800

R.Bush 6100

here is my team at first glance

Brady 9700

Peterson 9700

Foster 8900

Marshall 8200

A.Johnson 7800

AJ Green 7700

Hernandez 6800

Janikowski 5600

Seahawks 6100

Should be a solid lineup!

You budget like my wife at Christmas...

 

[eaglezzz]

Very true Elk not much of a budget with that roster. Can't give out all my secrets, will have to wait until kickoff to discuss. Sure would be nice to have two entries, could play it safe with one and go boom or bust on the other.

I will just play Dodds lineup and blame it on him if I lose

 

[flc735]

good luck all.

it's going to come down to kickers.

could someone post the link so i could pretend i made it?

I have settled on a few positions at this point but some are up in the air. It should be exciting!

Same here have my Kicker and Defense down pat. Other then that either going heavy at RB or Heavy at WR. TE is pretty well set as well. Going to be a tense Sunday of football watching

 

[eaglezzz]

Only 29 teams registered so far, with 2 hours to go.

Question for Dodds.... Is there really a Titlecraft Trophy for the winner?

Question for Dodds.... Is there really a Titlecraft Trophy for the winner?

Belated congrats EaglezzzPretty disapointing amount of attention/follow though on this event from FBG. Never any mention of the weekly winners, no metion of the finals, no coverage of the winner. Any of those in the daily email or weekly info would have helped build some excitement... From the lack of follow though with fixing typo in the payouts in the promo on the main page, to getting the trophy to the winner and a buch of other stuff in between, it is pretty evident that this was not something FBG were really behind.

 

[eaglezzz]

yeah pretty true there Elk, not much coverage at all with this contest. I actually think that is the reason that my odds were increased at making it to the finals and winning. When it comes to the FanDuel games you have to look for entries that will maximize your odds.

 

[eaglezzz]

Any word on when I get my Trophy?
