OK, I was too general. I meant to say what fantasy platform is BP.net in? Yahoo? ESPN? Fred's Casino?

This is my first time playing and I feel like an 8 year old as I don't know what the heck I'm doing most of the time. But I've had a healthy dose of beginner's luck helping me out.

It's been a blast! Except for the times I've slammed my fists and stomped out of the room in a rage...which was often...

We all have bad weeks, but there's a reason there are experts that get paid to play and analyze. Just like it's not luck that the same guys are sitting at the final table of the world series of poker year after year.
Don't get me wrong, injuries, trades, etc...can derail a season, but making the right pickups off the waiver wire can save a season.

I agree but where I disagree is when the experts (Fantasy Pros et al) miss on half of their top 10 running backs on a given week. I've made 45 roster moves this year so very much understand the waiver wire and have the top rated team in the league. But no matter how many 5 star match ups you have, you cannot control players having a bad game, in game injuries or a defense that suddenly thinks they're the 85' Bears. 8 of my 9 players have under performed, and badly. I have the 4,5 & 6 rated running backs playing this week with one to go tonight and the other two have garnered just 1/3 of their projected points. So what I'm saying is there is no way to predict when you team will collectively take a dump and the last place team suddenly has all Pro Bowl players. MY .02.

@hilabeans, you ready for our 3rd and final matchup????

You aren't the only one.....

So I'm going to present my case hear to this "rogue" league as the Commissioner of my league (my son) has tossed my protest. My proof that this is more luck than skill has never been so evident than in my semifinal fiasco. My team had 7/9 players fail to achieve their probable point total. My opponent had 6/9 fail. My total score was 96.02 and opponents was 108.98. The last time we played I beat him 151-101. The 108.98 that beat me was lower than my previous worst score of the season (110.51) so this is the ONLY week he could've beat me. So this proves that winning is ALL luck.......at least this week.

Oh, and BTW, I lost (was robbed) by my 8 year old son who is now grounded for the winter and has had Christmas cancelled!:colbert::taz::salute::bow::rage:


***This is an alert for the membership of BP.net. I was only JOKING with the last above comment^^^^^^^. I hope this is clear and no one takes it seriously.***

Congrats Hilabeans. It was a good matchup and you played well[emoji26]

Thank YOU and Ax for putting this together! I’ve learned so much and can’t wait to defend my title for next year.

Oh not so fast there. I'm hanging on by a thread for my 3rd place finish. Have to hope Jared Cook doesn't get over 17 points tonight!
