Swiss Cheezhead Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I'd have to say I'm good at drafting and trading. Even in the years I haven't made the playoffs in a certain league, I still remember getting compliments on my team right after the draft. I love to trade, but I hate "negotiating", so I usually spend a lot of time coming up with a fair offer. Most of the time, it's appreciated by the other owner. Unfortunately, I'm NOT good at taking home the title. I've been in 5 leagues per year for the last 3 years, so that's 15 total fantasy seasons. Out of those 15, I've made the playoffs a dozen times, but I've only been to the title game once and I've never won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primetime9287 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 My starting lineup in a 12-team keeper league this year is: QB Marc Bulger (I will play the matchup game with Brett Favre all year) RB Priest Holmes (and I missed out on LJ) RB Deuce McAllister (Curtis Martin is my bye week filler) WR Chad Johnson WR Javon Walker WR Jerry Porter (Rod Smith is my bye week filler) TE Jeremy Shockey (Marcus Pollard is my bye week filler) I'll end up on top or on bottom, but I never finish in the middle. 903836[/snapback] You need to get in a new league. That is a ridiculous team ESPECIALLY for 12 teams. I won't have that good of a team in my 10 team league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Neutron Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 draft prep and waiver wire hore extraordinaire 904095[/snapback] Loaf speaks the truth - he watches the WW like a wolf watches a birthing sheep. Your avi is still making me I play my best FF in dynasty leagues where I can make others pay for their mistakes eventually. I enjoy making trades with performance clauses and trading players on a mini hot-streak for draft picks in future years. I think I'm better than average about guessing which veterans will excel in their new environments. I'm a little too antsy to dump aging players so I get top value out of them.

godtomsatan Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I tend to draft well in the middle-to-late rounds when others are reaching. I suppose that makes me well prepared. That said, I feel that I don't deviate from player rankings during the draft enough. Meaning I follow a gameplan that doesn't evolve during a draft.

muck Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 (edited) I think I'm good at finding the "the player from no where" (think Beuerlien in 1999(?), Tiki Barber in 2000(?), Eddie Kennison in 2002, etc)...although I STILL kick myself for drafting Albert Connell instead of "that new QB in STL" or "the rookie QB in MIN" in 1999 in the final round of a very screwy keeper-ish league I'm in... Heck, if I'd have taken Culpepper then, I wouldn't have had to toss him back in the pot of available players until THIS YEARS' upcoming draft! ARG!!!! I think I draft/auction VERY well, however play matchups pretty poorly. And, I am the trademeister. Some times to my advantage ... sometimes not. I suck at the waiver wire, except when it comes to WRs, which I seem to have decent luck with. PS -- In reviewing my record for this post, I also, apparently, am good at beating DMD in fantasy football... :oldrazz: ...in nine fantasy seasons in the same league (three in HOFFA, one in 32 Homers and five in The Core), I have one have out scored and/or won more games than DMD five or six times.

Retrograde assault Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I'm an expert at drafting or picking up a player I think will do better than most other owners think he will and then dropping him right before he starts to do the good things I thought he would do.

Goopster24 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I consider myself a average drafter. I always come out of the draft somewhere in the middle and always questioning a pick or two. I usually make a lot of risky picks. I am really good however at watching the waiver wire. I am constantly looking for the next stud and will be the person who grabs him. I can also usually get a trade out of most of my friends. Half the time though they don't turn out as planned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bree22 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I'm great at drafting deep sleepers that really perform well the year after I drafted them. 903963[/snapback] I 2nd that. I am also good at drafting the 1st rounder that always gets hurt each year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest THEbigred Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 - I am notoriously bad at picking players (mostly RBs and/or #1 picks, which is usually the same) who get hurt. Sometimes I ask for it (like Priest last year), but often no one sees it coming. I warn you, this infamous curse is not to be taken lightly, so do not draft whatever RB I get as my #1. Curtis Martin and yes even Brett Favre have felt the sting of my power. (I don't dare draft P Manning due to being a Colt fan) - On the plus side, I'm good at finding young talent right as they break out. FT (rookie year), Gonzo, and last year Clayton are among the guys I got cheap and reaped big rewards. And I used to always have a good TE, even though I didn't reach for em, but the last 2 yrs have been rough there. Also I can burp at will. :proud: Can't fart at will, but I'm working on it.
