Shotgun Messiahs Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I've been playing for 8 years myself and only won the big won twice. I've watched my team have good seasons and I've watched them get clean the bottom of the outhouse toilet. To me, in my time playing, it is only getting worse with this RBBC alot of teams tend to be using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did your season start in pre-season??? this is week 7...so, if you lose tonight, how could you be 7-1??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avernus Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I find that if I pay attention to the league I am in, I make more moves and make my own luck... you need some skill to improve your luck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomfin2000 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I'm doing okay this season, but I have to admit that I'm not enjoying it as much as I usually do. I realize that luck will alway play a huge role in this game, but the past two seasons, it seems to have more to do with who has the best week than who has the best team. I know it's always been that way to an extent, but the cream seemed to rise to the top eventually. That doesn't necessarily seem to be the case these days.

capostatus Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 ^exactly. luck and injuries are always a part of the game an d i understand that, but it seems there are more injuries and underperformers every year. like you said its the best week not best team. im 3-3 in a league where i have by far the most points. i consider myself a good manager, ive gone 10-3 the last years in my local dealing with injuries and players who were basically busts.

For every underperformer there is someone who has a breakout year. You went 10-3 last year, this year you're not doing as well, why complain? If it beats you down that much then why play?

Henry Muto Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Fantasy Football is much like Texas Holdem. Any single tournament has more luck then skill but over the course of several tournaments over several years skill will prevail...in any 1 season luck is much more of a factor then it is over the course of many seasons over many years...in the end just like in poker the skill will prevail. I have played in a 12 man league for 19 years now...I have gone 7-7 or better 18 straight years....some luck there but if it was 99% luck how can I be that lucky for the 1st 18 years in a row ? In other leagues I have won titles and finished 3-11...it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Agent Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Isn't this what makes FF fun? One of my teams is littered with injuries. I'm having to scramble to fill roster spots. Breaks up the monotony. Bad luck will hit all of us if you play long enough. Start reading Henry Muto's posts and prepare to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
