TJOLIRPH Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Signed up in a cbssportsline league just for fun, did it as a autodraft so I could manage what I was stuck with and play the manager for the year. Thought I had a decent team (not going to post-no point sig team is my money league) but I can't catch a break. I'm 0-5 with the 3rd most points in the league and breakingdown matchups also 3rd out of the 12. Basically I've managed to play the top team of the week every week. The scoring is set the same as nfl.com and have 480 pts for and 570 pts against. Next closetest is 470 pts against. This is a messed up year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chloroform Rx Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 In my first real money league, which was a few years ago, I finished #1 overall in points and #1 in power rankings (which awarded me the second most in earnings) BUT I missed the playoffs. I actually set the record for most poinst averaged per week. Frustrating, indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJOLIRPH Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Kiddy game is down the street. Sorry if FF isn't supposed to be fun, not every league needs to be for money. Point was weird year and wondering who else can't catch a break. My non-"kiddy" league has more smack talk and money involved and am 3-2 with a couple of close game that I came up short.

The Champ is Here Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 How about these starters: Phillip Rivers Matt Forte Mendenhall Bowe Walter Lance Moore Cooley In a 16-team league that's good enough to get some wins, but 0-5... at least I can look forward to top pick in rookie draft next year. Def. a very strong base for a dynasty. Ive taken note of your behaviors in that league and will be trying to use the same strategy in a dynasty where im struggling this year but has some young talent.

I know, I know. But seriously, auto drafting takes 30 percent of the fun out of a league, drafting is a good time and preparing in the preceding weeks is enjoyable.
