Papa Deuce Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 This is why I hate H2H leagues.... I love total points leagues.... less luck, more skill.... Shame that total points leagues have pretty much gone the way of the dodo bird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you play dynasty? Any interest?

MTSuper7 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 For me, the fun is derived from the process, not the results. Sure, it sucks to lose. But the way I look at it, it's like poker... You make the best decisions at the time, but ultimately you can't control the outcome. You can't do anything about the guys you have on your team once Sunday afternoon rolls around. But you can make decisions about who to acquire and put a plan together to get the team you want. It doesn't always work out, but I have found enjoyment in the process of taking a drafted team and molding it into a contender. Some years it works out, some years it doesn't. At the end of the year, I usually look back at the difference between what I drafted and what I ended up with, and the net is usually quite positive. I distinctly remember certain seasons where I drafted a dud of a team and had to scratch and claw my way through savvy FAAB bidding and trades to get into the playoffs. And someone earlier in this thread mentioned the dumb luck people who ended up with Cheifs and/or Rams. We had a year like that in 2007 when Romo/Owens and Brady/Moss were both carrying teams to championships. And I remember winning the SB that year with Sage Rosenfels as my starting QB in the playoffs because I had built a solid team everywhere else. Those Rams/Chiefs heavy teams can be one and done with just a mediocre week. If you aren't enjoying fantasy football, then walking away makes sense. I took a year off in 2015, and it was a great idea at the time. I needed the break. I was in too many leagues, and I would take it too seriously. Now, I am in one league (main local), and I have more fun just putting my effort into improving that team to give myself a shot at the title. Maybe a year off to recalibrate is the answer. And if you don't miss it, so be it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you don't miss it, so be it. worst part for me is looking back at the draft and looking at what i possibly could have.....im maybe 2 picks, that were sitting right there in front of me, from being undefeated in a double W/L league.....in a team that would be basically a juggernaut......i didnt think bell would really sit out so i nabbed yeldon instead of conner....and if i had grabbed theilen in the 3rd like i really should have(ive always loved the guy) id be next to unstoppable.....

Sounds like CowboysDiehard is burned out, so spending all that time would be the opposite of what he needs. Cutting back to 1-2 leagues and using ADP data might be better for him. But I think leagues are won on trading more than anything else and that's economics, not football. granted, my view is skewed because it's easier to do in dynasty and I haven't played redraft in years, so I'm probably wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
