The Footballguys Bowl! - Was "Interest In A Footballguys Subscriber League?" (2 Viewers)

Headed to 5-0 this week, 1st in 0154.

Might crack the top 30 overall this week.

All despite losing Pacheco, and like an idiot dropping Tank Bigsby before week 1. :doh:

BYE weeks coming up will be a real test of depth.
How's top 10 sound? Congrats!
Just realized when I posted that I was 29th.

lol

I’m top 10?! That’s wild.
 
Anyone know how to make a lineup change on a desk top? The circle in the middle of the matchup page that works on a phone doesn't on a desktop.

Is it to much to ask for a menu that has a set lineup button? (maybe there is an I can't find it).

Easy: Click the "team" tab. Click the player. You should see a list of players who can play that position. Click the one you want to sub in and voila!

Thank you. Not the most intuitive thing eh? Wonder why it's different on the phone.

I've really gotten used to Sleeper of the year and generally like it, but this last comment is spot on. The differences between how the web and mobile apps work seem odd and arbitrary and are totally confusing. In addition, I co-commish a dynasty league on sleeper and there are some league/commish settings that can ONLY be found in mobile and not web (or visa versa, can't recall) which is super annoying.

But...it's free to host a league and has all the features I need, alas...

@Joey Wright so I noticed again an owner picked up a player and dropped a player that had already played on TNF today - is this not a setting that are in these leagues? I think someone else had also brought it up on the last page. its at least the 3rd time in my league I have seen it happen.

There is absolutely a Sleeper setting to prevent that from happening.

Looks like the setting to prevent bench players from being dropped after game starts is not enabled. Bad miss when they did the set up there....
 
Started out 0-2 and am suddenly 4-2 in second place. Not bad. I knew my team was better than how I started. I always seem to have the highest points allowed in my leagues.
 
Lost the 1st week but been on a win streak… now 5-1 and #151 overall… can’t wait for Kupp to come back as Ray Ray has been staying in the lineup
 
Moved up into 2nd place (4-2) with a the highest point total of the week and now the highest point total in the league. (0033) has 1 at 5-1 (Rhinodotcom), 4 at 4-2, 3 at 3-3, 2 at 2-4 and 2 at 1-5. Pretty well balance league with the exception of the nonresponsive 1-5 last place player.
 
had the worst week of the year, going to 4-2 with two players going down with injuries. if i'm reading the site correctly i'm the second highest points in this league and highest scored against. at least i'm best at something.

:ptts:
 
With Jordan Love returning to the helm, my 'rag-tag fugitive fleet' of a squad, managed a Season high 137 points, and notched it's second victory!

2-4, 680 points. Climbed from 11th to 9th place. Play the 7th place Team this week. He's scored 890, but is somehow 2-4. He's due for down week, right? :scared:

It's a lot more fun, posting when you're doing well, sure...but I'm a fan of owning it, regardless.

Team getting healthier. Steep hill to climb, but not giving up. Not by a long shot. :football:
 
I am 6-0 but again some of it is attributed to the luck of scheduling…4th highest scorer in league but have the lowest points scored against me…so mot a bad team and except for week 2 over 135 each week so I will take the luck and hope I pick up on scoring more
 
Stuck in 3rd in my league at 4-2 but have scored the most points there at 901.75 (good enough for 275th in overall standings), getting AJB back was a big boost.
 
9th place at 2-4. :(
Missing Nacua all season and Brian Robinson Jr, Rashad White, Zamir White, Kittle and Love for parts of it. Just can’t get consistency in my lineup in this league.
 
Is @Joey Wright still commishing these?
@Joe Bryant Is Joey still involve with these leagues? If not, who do we send our questions to? There may be an issue with some leagues allowing owners to drop players that have played while others can't.

Also has the cutline been determined?

  • The top two finishers from each division will automatically advance to playoffs
  • There will be a cut line (TBD) for others to advance to playoffs
 
Took a couple hits this week with Ford & Reed getting banged up, plus sub-par games from DKM & Evans.

Dropped my 1st game. Knocked me from 10th overall to 249 (gulp)

Yes. Joey is the commissioner for the Footballguys Bowl. The best way to reach him is by email fbgcommish@footballguys.com

Hey!

Joe alerted me to the message here. In FBG Bowl you can drop players if they are on your bench once they have played to pick up someone who has not played yet. This is 100% allowed. If there are individual instances of not being able to drop bench players, please send me the league ID and or screenshots to fbgcommish@footballguys.com

As far as the cutline, you are correct. Top two finishers from the division move on to the playoffs. We don't have a point total for the cutline as of yet, but it will be an additional amount which would equate to around 25% of the total player pool. 1896 teams are in year one of FBG Bowl, so around 474 teams will make the playoffs. That number could go up or down based upon ties in scoring.

This was 100% intentional not being checked off. We discussed players allowed to be dropped once a game begins, and as long as they are on the bench, this is allowed. It has been mentioned there have been instances where players have not been allowed to do it. This is what I am trying to get to the bottom of.

We have also made a note to make sure this is crystal-clear in the rules for 2025. :)

Thanks, at least we know it's an across the board setting.
 
tied for first at 6-1 with 1028 points (7 points behind leader)
down Collins and ETN and Love early, but overall, one of my healthiest teams
Hunt, Bigsby and B.Thomas keeping me alive

So total point regardless of record?
 
3-4 and in 7th place in division 83.
I have Love, Barkley, Nacua, DK, Cooper, Kittle, Dowdle, BRobinsonJr, Denver D.
Even with injuries, those names should equate to a better record than that but, alas….
