LegFuJohnson Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 There are people on this board who have played fantasy hockey longer than I have... (If you've played at all, you've played more than I have) So let me know if there are any glaring errors in my lineup, if you would? This league is weekly transactions, not daily. I haven't really checked (I probably should, and will) if someone has 3 games, as opposed to 2 for this 1st short week that could change something. It's H2H, and 10 categories. G, A, +/-, PIM, PPP, GWG and for Goalies, it's W, GAA, SV% and SHO. My starting lineup is: C - Arnott C - Demitra LW - Shanahan LW - R Smyth RW - Jagr RW - Zednik D - Lidstrom D - Hamrlik D - Foote D - D Morris G - Turco G - Aebischer Bench C - Roenick; Lindros RW - Daigle LW - Friesen D - Brisebois G - DiPietro Is there anyone on my bench that should obviously be in the lineup? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 your 4 centers are all fairly even IMO. play matchups with them. it sounds like it will definitely be worth your while to count the number of games everyone has before setting your lineup. i'd always play the guys with the most games, unless it means benching jagr for daigle because daigle has one more game or something like. other than that your starters are clearly better than your bench.

LegFuJohnson Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 Thanks. I'll be checking the schedule tonight. The starters were the guys drafted first. I was armed with Yahoo's rankings (that's where the league is), and a printout of ESPN top 100, that was about it. While I'm on the subject, in a 10-team league with this roster size, is there anyone on the roster that obviously should be on the wire? I don't think that there is, but what do I know?

darin3 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 (edited) First season in fantasy hockey for me... I know the basic concepts, know the franchises that put the best product (in terms of watching the sport, winning, and producing #s), and know the names... but the nuances? Now, I know I'll probably get some responses from guys in my league, seeing that it is a BOTH league... so I'll take those responses with a grain of salt! :oldrazz: Hopefully there are some other fantasy hockey vets out there that can help a rookie out! Here's who I have penciled in as starters / bench guys: C: Demitra C: Morrison LW: Frolov LW: Andreychuck RW: Palffy RW: Murray D: Stuart D: Tverdovsky D: Markov D: Boucher G: Turco G: Kiprusoff Bench: C: Briere, Lindros LW: Konowalchuk RW: Mellanby D: Poti G: Joseph I know I have 2 of the top goalies - which is important. Any position I'm critically weak? Comments/suggestions? Edit: This is a daily league... so I can mix-n-match as the days go by and matchups allow.

Azazello1313 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 in a 10 team league, i'd be willing to bet there are better players (IMO at least) than daigle and friesen out there. someone like nikolai zherdev, who could end up being a big scorer for columbus, is probably out there, and he's got a lot more upside than daigle. maybe ryan malone (who's on a line with mario lemieux and palffy :eek: ). maybe freddie modin? just guessing as to guys who might be available. also, if kari lehtonen is a free agent i'd be tempted to drop dipietro and grab him, but that one is a fairly close call either way.

LegFuJohnson Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 (edited) Much appreciated. About half the league knows fantasy hockey, the other doesn't. I drafted Friesen as the last pick as my token NJ Devil, then he got traded, so I certainly don't have to keep him.
