theeohiostate Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Think i'm the worlds worst when it comes to 2nd guessing myself , at least 5-6 times this season i've changed my lineup at 12:55 ET or closer of kickoff and cost myself valuable points. This week was a doooozy though . I pulled Tre Mason and put in Evans for my flex In another league i have major QB issues and there was only 1 starting QB in the FA pool , so i scooped him up Sunday before kickoff and left my other scrub Fitzpatrick on the bench , who then proceeded to blow up. Another league i was locked and loaded with D.Harron at flex and pulled him for Charles Johnson If i'd just leave my original lineups in place and never change them unless based on injury i could have saved myself at least 5-10 wins across various leagues this season. Hope others are making changes that are helping you out , but for me . I suck at it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn5033 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I stopped doing this years ago unless I needed to watch an Injury. Once I have set my linup I don't second guess it anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougsul Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Yes it has back fired like 75-80% for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Yep happens sometimes. Other times I'm lucky and fail to act before the deadline thus not messing with my originally better lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA Baracus Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Almost always results in a loss of points. When I make my initial lineup decisions I am taking a close look at all the data. When I make the late swap I am typically overreacting to some news bit or just being stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAUgrad Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Got lucky this week. Moved Baldwin out and decided to put in Tre Mason. Holly cow. Finally got one right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdmanJones Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 hurt, again... swapped out Rivers for Eli in one league and left Hopkins and Fleener on the bench in favor of Martavis Bryant... Lost both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millworkguy Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 i pulled out k wright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rellen13 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Swapped out Hopkins in favor of Wallace. (but also started Brees/Jennings/Mason/Stills/Jeffery, so not sweating it much this week) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEMS Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Pulled Hopkins out of my flex and put Hill in at the last minute this week. I've been terrible with last minute lineup changes this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatDude Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) Took out Decker and put in Fleener at Flex 10 minutes before the noon games started Monday. I made the playoffs because of that move but normally it backfires Edited December 2, 2014 by ThatDude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Running Wilde Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I was convinced all week to sit Forte vs, DET & run J. Bell. Seemed crazy but I just had this feeling DET was going to stuff him. Morning of I sat down at the computer, heard that little voice yelling "ALWAYS START YOUR STUDS," and swapped in Forte. Cost me about 16pts.

MTSuper7 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I started Donte Moncrief in one league on a last second "I need to swing for the fences move" over Pierre Garcon. I won by 3 points. But I have done the opposite plenty as well. Most recently, I sat Crabtree for Andre Holmes and lost by the 4 points that Crabtree would have gotten (Holmes scored zero that week).
