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

So I just talked with the person who is setting the cutline. Because of the nature of the top two teams in each division making it AND THEN highest point total to round out, we can't give even a projected cutline due to how top two teams and top point scorers can vary from league to league. HOWEVER, I do know our playoff pool is going to be approximately 475 teams based on the 25% number we've floated around. This doesn't mean the top 475 in points will make it. What this means is 316 division winners and runners up will gain automatic entry, followed by approximately another 160ish teams based solely on points scored and not record.
Is there a way at all to sort your FBG standings page by total points and not record?

That way if we are not top 2 in our div we can at least see where we are in points.

I realise many of those in that standings will be top 2 teams but at least it's closer to an idea of where we stand.
I can ask the guy who built the pages to incorporate that for sure. I do think we will shift towards total points next year although.... i sort of like having the matchups mean something.

This is a debate we have had in my main league for years. H2H matchups introduce a lot of luck into the equation but eliminating them and going total points instead of record is just nowhere near as fun.

We settled on keeping matchups but having wild card teams based off total points and giving a high percentage of the pot to the total points winner.

Matchups or points was a debate we have. We wanted the Footballguys Bowl to feel like both a major tournament and your home league. A combination of both is where we landed.
 
I got whaled on this week, and will drop to 6-3. I'll remain in 2nd place though, because of total points.
 
JSN was huge. Moved to 7-2 and in 1st place with 1342 PF with 180 pt week. Hopefully moving up in the rankings!
 
I've achieved a new low, after my injury-ravaged, and otherwise underperforming squad notched a League-low 88.75 in Week 9!!!

I now stand in 11th place, stunned that there's actually a Team below mine in the standings. He's scored about 130 points more than I have, yet has only won 1 game. Imagine the shame of the 2 Teams in my League that have fallen to me.

2-7, 974.35 points.

Some Draft, it was. Batting leadoff (1.01):

CMC, MkEvans, Waddle, Andrews, Kincaid, Mostert, Diontae, Love, Sutton, Doubs, Corum, Likely, McLaughlin, DmRobinson, JMason, Levis, Chiefs, JMcMillen, JHill, Kraft.

Oof. :bag:

Only slightly better in 9th place at 4-5. Drafting from the 10 slot…
Barkley, Nacua, DK Metcalf, R White, Kittle, Amari Cooper, Z White, Love, Brian Robinson, Sutton, Dowdle, Mooney, the rest long dropped besides Otton.
That team should be upper third with injuries and all. Just looked and I have the 3rd highest points against, so that explains being below 500. Not giving up!

ETA: I surprisingly won this past week even with DK & BRobinson out, Kittle on a bye, Love on my bench. And Nacua ejected after 2.10 points. Weird.
 
I have climbed up to 5-4 in Div 14. It somehow puts me in 3rd place behind our two 8-1 teams. They are each about 100 points ahead of me, another team at 1277, and then two tied with me at 1220 or so. If I continue the past 4 weeks of scoring...I should have a shot at a points entry and if luck evens out for the leaders a little bit, I could sneak into the top two.

Kupp, Mixon, Ferguson all being back gives me a lot of hope. If Mahomes (what a mistake that was) can turn it on a bit too, I'll be very formidable.
 
After nine weeks, my team is 251st overall at 6-3. Near the top of 6-3 list with 1300+ pts scored, avg. 151+ pts per game.

Suffered one big loss so far when Godwin, my 5th round pick, had his season ended. Have had decent depth so losing him hasn't stung as bad as it could have. Other minor injuries have kept certain players on my bench some weeks.

Fortunate to be where I am. Hoping to be as injury free as possible for the rest of the year

Similar here. 286, lost Godwin. My WR depth isn’t great but my backs have been good.
Tua/Darnold, Henry, Achane, dobbins, Irving, AR St brown, Ridley, Bateman, McBride. Bench is weak.
 
1265 gets you in the top 475 scorers. 56 teams under that with 7 or more wins. Spot 419 is 1272 points. I would say if you are at 1272 or more then you are currently in the playoffs.

The two guys below are tied in points at 1227. One is 8-1, the other 2-7.

Fantastic! Loads so fast and allowed me to find my team in the overall standings…..

Waaaaay down in 1001st place (page freakin 11 out of 20. Oy)
:(
It was probably better for you when you couldn't find your team.... OHHHHHHHHH! ;)
Touché


Allow me to retort…

It’ll make my 2nd half comeback that much sweeter now that everyone knows that I’m amazingly average at this.
 
There's a 5-4 team with 1422 points. ouch.
There's a 3-6 team with more points than 3 of the 7 teams at 9-0
Chip and a chair in the playoffs!

I prolly won't catch up wins wise at 5-4, but am holding steady with 1305.46 total points. Facing Chase this week won't help me in the W-L column though...
I dunno whether to give you a sad face for facing Ja'Marr or a happy face for your decent total points.

Should I be worried about facing the Chase owner this week? Maybe.....probably......weirdly, I am not.

I had a lot of Tyrek hill in some of my leagues…

The tua injury hurt way more for other offensive pieces with dolphins…waddle archane hill all hurt as that offense is bad with no Tua
 
LOL...guy in our league started

Zamir White -bye
Seattle D - bye
Pacheco
Love - Bye
Coleman - out

Another team left Cmac on the bench for Jacobs.

Given that it's a free league I shouldn't be surprised.
 
Low week for me with 126, but got lucky as opponent scored only 119. Sitting in 2nd place at 7-3.
Same. 116pts this week, but went up against the no-show owner in our league who started Moss, Aiyuk, Diggs, Kirk and Bowers (bye). Share of 3rd place at 7-3 (1430pts total) with @greenmountaingoat. Two owners are 8-2. Most of my team is back from injury, thankfully so looking for smooth sailing from here on out.

My team is destroyed man. It's a war of attrition 💀

Incidentally, we matchup next week! 🍺 🍺 🍺
 
Moved to 9-1 on the season, with 1490 pts. The team with the most pts in my division (1496) is 5-5. A 4 game difference in W/L, with a .6 ppg difference between the teams.

Luck is a thing. 🍀

I like my trajectory, um, Daddy?

1001 last week.
826 this week.

At this rate, I’ll be ranked 126 when the playoffs start.

I mean, it’s math.

You get it. I love math. Ha ha. If it's a 3 week playoff you'll end up at least 1st!!!

If my math is right, I’ll be ranked -49 during the first week of the playoffs.
That’s BETTER than being ranked 1!!!
