Hawkeye21 4,165 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 This is my first time in this contest. At first glance I found it hard to get players I want under the salary cap and still select at least 18 players. Interesting format. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hawkeye21 4,165 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (Pats Hawkeye21 consolingly on shoulder)You have no idea what you're in for, do you? Your next obsession has begun.So what's the obsession over? Is it second guessing your picks each day up until you finally submit the team? I guessing it's that since once the season starts you basically just sit back and pray your team does well. Am I close? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guessing it's that since once the season starts you basically just sit back and pray your team does well. Am I close?It is submitting your team today changing it 5 times today and as camp goes on changing it again multiple times a day. It is playing with the players and trying to figure out if it is better odds for 18 people or 30 people or where in between. It is figuring out how many WRs is best and at what price grouping and RBs, QBs... It is making sure you make it through the first few weeks if you take Bell or Brady.

It's been debated ad naseum over the years and often threads have carried over for pages and pages in the Shark Pool. Clearly you have to ultimately end up with players that perform well. But by the end game, the issue will be that many teams have the same players, so it's like playing Texas Hold 'em where the community cards help everybody. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
