Amari Cooper is killing it. For my bench.

Gotta love fantasy football which gives teams that just squeeze into the playoffs the chance to win leagues, rarely happens in other sports. So random.

#5 v #6 good luck

 

[pennywisealfie]

#5 won't be there. Golden Tate is going nuts

 

[pennywisealfie]

Please stop throwing it to Snead and Tate!

 

[pennywisealfie]

and that's it. Congrats, Tom.

 

[one tree hill]

Well done Thomas the tank engine.

 

[Tom155]

and that's it. Congrats, Tom.

Thanks needed a miracle & got it, thankfully starting Whittaker didn't cost me.

Thought I was going to lose by 0.05 for a while there.

 

[Tom155]

Everything coming up Team Ramrod so far

Going to need a miracle to win this.

 

[one tree hill]

I'm sorry for saying this but the 6th seed winning the league is shit, a team which finished 7-6 shouldn't even make the playoffs.

Should be less playoff teams. Half the league making playoffs is very ordinary imo especially in a money league, every man and his dog can easily make the playoffs under the current system.

Gotta earn fantasy league championships, not rely on luck.

The hardest part of fantasy leagues should be making the playoffs.

 

[pennywisealfie]

Disagree completely.

 

[one tree hill]

3 division winners and a wildcard, then you've well and truly earned a playoff spot, not crawling under the backdoor like a bad smell then your team scoring well for the final 3 weeks of the season after struggling all season.

I've always been one for having playoff spots in fantasy leagues as hard to come by as they are in real life.

Imagine if 16 teams made the playoffs every season in the NFL, what a joke that would be.

 

[one tree hill]

No one can ever convince me fantasy NFL isn't 95% luck and 5% skill lol.

.

Stop crying. He had to win 3 consecutive games to win it all. That's doing it the hard way. Nothing flukey about that.

[dogslife]

Tom's team only scored 20 points more than mine in the regular season but went 11-2 as opposed to 7-6, tell me there's no luck involved there champ.

But thanks for your kind words and we'll wishes regardless

 

[Mjp81]

What does 4th pay? Lol.

 

[nick87]

I think we should have a play off system where it changes each year dependant solely on where i finish
For example this year, we should have had exactly 11 play off teams

 

[pennywisealfie]

Moneyback Bowl champion!!

 

[abpanther]

Thanks to everyone for another good year, this is one of the most contested leagues I play in, very enjoyable as always

Just to confirm, payouts will be as follows:

Highest scorer (regular season) = $150
SteaminWillieBeamen (mjp81)

First place = $300
Team Ramrod (Dogslife)

Second place = $100
Winning is a Brees (Tom155)

Third place = $50
Toowong Deviates (Pennywisealfie)

Can these 4 owners please PM me with their preferred method of payment (paypal or direct bank transfer) and your details, bank transfer would be my preference (quicker) but happy to do either. I will sort out payments in the next week

Also, I actually agree with One Tree Hill, I think we should discuss the option of reducing the playoff teams from 6 to 4, this is a money league and I think making playoff spots harder to get ensures that only the most deserving teams are left to duke it out for the prize money at the end.

 

[dogslife]

Will sort it out tonight mate.

On proposed changes, it'd only work if you eliminated divisions and shortened the season so everyone plays each other once. Also keep in mind the previous two winners of this comp, who were also the highest scoring teams both qualified 5th for the playoffs and would therefore miss out

 

[abpanther]

Yeah good point mate, I just think it's worth the discussion at least
