Without doubt my worst week in NFL Oireland, 37-90. Benched Fred Jackson because of Pittsburgh's run defence so he decided to go and rack up big points through the air! He had Hillis and Charles so any chances of winning were minimal anyway.

A loss in LTTP, he had Bowe, Brady and fecking Maurice Morris with 19 points!

You've now got the highest total in the league but you're bottom with me. That is actually gas :pac: Horrible for you though

bobby wade

Up 40+ with Breaston going against Fitzgerald.

West Coast Coolers lost.

So a win puts me at 6-6 & top the division. Having a crap year with a crap team, pretty shocking to be still in with a playoff shot

Not gas for me! :pac: Luck of the draw I guess, for some reason I tend to come up against the highest or second highest scorer each week!

davetherave

Terrible week for me.

I had AP(12) and Brandon Jackson(3) starting, and put Fred Jackson(21) on the bench because he'd be facing the Steeler D. He ended up getting more points than both of them together.

Had Crabtree, Lloyd(19) and Floyd(0) in at reciever and Derek Mason(14) and Eddie Royal(13)on the bench.
The only thing I got right was Brady(37) over Orton(31)

My bench scored 79, My starters have 91 with Crabtree still to play. Need him to score 8 points for the win this week

Peyton Manning

Still top of the Prem League after a close battle with Slinger Owls. The added bonus being that they're second in my division too, so I've now opened up a 2 game lead which should have me in good stead for the playoffs.

Comfortable win in NFL Oireland also over the team that was second in my division, so I've opened up a game lead there and look good for the playoffs too. Will be keeping a close eye on what punishment Andre Johnson gets though

Need a good game from Frank Gore tonight in the PPR League. 25 points needed for the win, Vincent Jackson cost me some much needed points, but I'll still be overall first regardless of what happened this week. Overall 2nd (and 2nd in my division) lost too so at least I havent surrendered any ground.

Likewise, he cost me a win in the Auction League. Ended up drawing 87-87! Annoying, one measly reception would have won it, but I've long since given up hope of the playoffs in that league.

Lost by 10 in the Paddy Patriots league thanks to 0 point games from Chris Johnson and Dez Bryant, and a lack of TDs from Big Ben despite 246 passing yards. Oh well, still good for the playoffs by some distance thanks to poor performance of the other division. Both best runner-ups will come from the division Im in it seems!

UnitedIrishman

Good weekend for me in LTTP and on a nice roll now. Despite Jackson and Branch sitting on my bench, ended up winning by a comfortable enough margin.

eagle eye

I'm finished in the Prem League after losing this week. Was never gonna happen after firefox froze on me and I couldn't get on for the first two rounds of the draft.

Anyways I'm 10-1 in my money league and definitely in the playoffs which is good news. I'm 9-2 in my yahoo league with other Patriot fans. And I think I'm through in the Paddy Patriots league to the playoffs after winning to go 7-4-1. I've had awful trouble with RBs there with Jahvid Best getting injured after only a couple of weeks and not putting up good numbers ever since and Pierre Thomas also being out for a long time. I still have the third highest score in the league which surprises me. In the PPR league I took a chance on Sidney Rice and it cost me big time, I'm second to Archie in the division. I was looking at the playoffs there and it seems there is only a final which seems a little unfair. In the auction league I think I'm done, I still have Gore to play but I'm 19 behind. Its the end of the road if I lose there, if I somehow manage to win it then if I win out I think I make it to the playoffs but its highly unlikely. My opponent got 24 for the Chargers DST last night which has pretty much killed my chances.

Yep, it was so cruel to come on and see Cedric Benson and Manning as my first two picks. I'd never take a QB that early and no way in hell would I have taken Benson.

Despite picking Manning in the first round of NFL Oireland, or did you have Firefox problems there too? :pac:

Well that was a different setup, its only a 12 team league and I was picking last and first in consecutive rounds. In that situation the draft is a lot deeper so its a good thing to take a premium QB.

In a 16 team league you have to get a premium RB and WR.

Syferus

To think that TD and all those Westbrook yards could have been Gore's.. urgh.

JohnnyRyan99

After a fortunate/close victory over Spongey Bears in the NFL Oireland league i think i've managed to secure my spot in the Playoff's. Unfortunetly though, AP took a knock! But im hoping it's nothing to serious and that he'll recover, specially as my other two RB's are Jets pair Greene and LT!! Also Gates isnt exactly giving me confidence with his injury but he looked to be coming back to form near the end of the Colts matchup. All in all though, my first year playing FF so im just happy to be here!:D

You should pick up Toby Gerhart if you can in case AP goes down. Just dump a WR who is not playing much for you or a second QB if you have one.

JohnnyRyan99

Might look for Westbrook, Gore just confirmed to be out for the season!!

IM pretty fricken pissed off right now

last week I get second highest score and lose, this week looks like I will have the second highest score again and again will lose :mad::mad:

Hillis & Bowe both on the opposing team beating the crap outta me.

I think that was me you were up against. 154 points. Nearly all your players got td's and over 10 points. Will you make the playoffs.

I missed the draft and got Bowe Hillis and Arian Foster. Probably only would of picked bowe in later rounds but its working in my favour

Just noticed that myself today. I'm locked in a battle with New York Rebels at 8-4 each but he is top with a superior points difference. Three rounds left and i play him in the final round. Could be an interesting match to see who gets into the championship match.

I tried to make it a 4 team post season but because their was only 8 teams they wouldn't allow it! So I had to just go with a Championship Match. Was looking at that myself, could be interesting if we both go 0-2,1-1 or 2-0 and it all rides on the final game. It may as well be the AFC or NFC championship game. I just hope someone doesn't get eliminated by the tie breakers I'd love to see the winner of each divison be like 10-5 and the next to them be 9-6 or worse, none of the deciders.

That would have been me...

9-3 in Division 1 now after a decent enough win, good effort from RB's and Brandon Llyod/Tony Gonzalez. Three of us in total have a 9-3 record, all up in the Premier next year barring a mircale for The Nastys or Ironsides.

Who's up for Relegation in the Premier?

Favre is gone from Divison One, two teams with a 4-8 record and two more with a 5-7 record.

Here are the standings in the Prem League:

Did not know that you can't trade from now on.:mad:

Are the playoff positions in the Premier League setup that the 4 division winners advance? If so it will be a bit of a bummer for one of the guys in the North division on 9-3 as if they don't win the division they will be out even though they will have a better record than the West division.

Similar position in Boards Division 2. I currently lead my division on 10-2. 2nd place guy is 9-3 but only one of us will advance even though it's likely we will both have a better record than one of the other division winners.

It works pretty much like the real playoffs minus the Superbowl. 4 Group winners and the 2 best runners up advance. The 2 best group winners get a bye the first week, while the other 2 group winners play the two best runners up in the wildcard. The winner of each wildcard will then play a group winner in the semi final.

LightningBolt

Division One is set up as the group winners only. Can't change it now unfortunately. We'll have to have a recap at the end of the playoffs and agree rules amongst all involved for the next season.

tallaghtoutlaws

Important this is the last week of Regular games. Week 13 that is.

Week 14 then is the QTR Finals 4 groups winners and 2 best runners up. The best 2 group winners get bye and the other 2 play against the best runner ups in the QTR final.

As it stands: This weekend could change the playoffs in a major way.

1 Dunluce Demons
2 Ruan Raiders

Both get byes

3 Porto Jags
4 Blue Collar Bears

Both face one of these

5 Oh look an eagle *Mad thing about these they are losing on points to Ruan and have a better record than other teams in playoffs.
6 Slinger Owls

Note: We did this as there is 16 teams so it gave at least 2 best runners up the chance to fight for playoffs.

I have the league set up the same. Can change it to the same but might be a bit unfair at this late stage.

Spongey1975

How many get relegated/promoted between divisions?

We should get all three divisions tables posted up here after the regular season so next season we wont have any confusion next season in setting up the divisions

As for me i'm stuck on 6-6 and mid table mediocrity. I'll be playing division one ball next year

kev_s88

i could do with a win against Ruan Raiders this weekend to cement my place in playoffs and possible boost me up a seeding spot. im 6-6 in my other 10 person league, currently in 4th seed, lets hope that holds up too

Yeah, definitely, all divisions should be posted up here after regular season. I think that the 4 division winners should get promoted. And the four worst teams in the division get relegated??

YEP it was you Bobo, every one of my players bar Defense and kicker made double digits for me.

Will I make the playoffs ? Who knows. Im now a game off top of the division after losing the last 2 with the second highest score in the 16 team league in both weeks.

Ive the second most points for season but currently Im missing a shot at the big dance.

Im probably going to miss out. The top team in my division plays 2 absent owners :mad::mad:

Xavi6

Got some email via TO saying he's not posting in the forum anymore or some shit and won't be running the fantasy football anymore. Anyone shed some light?

Dohnny Jepp

Its just as you said, he won't be posting here anymore, so won't be able to run the league. However, it's looking likely Lightning will be promoted from DIV1 so will be in the prem next year, so he can run that one.

IN the prem div, is it the 4 worst records, or the worst in each division that goes down?

I wouldn't imagine so. That was about a month ago and was resolved in the fairest possible manner in the end, plus he has been posting here regularly since.

Eagle Eye ya bollix!! First you tell me to pick up Gerhart and i said i had a waiver in, then i replied to you saying i might go for Westbrook as well and you pick them both up!!!:mad:

I put in two waiver requests and got both. If you put in a waiver request for both you would have gotten one of them.

I had to do one other re-jig so had them placed 2nd and 3rd respectively!
I dont really care just thought it was funny when i went to your team and seen both players there cause you were the only guy i had half mentioned them too. Tis understandable you'd put a request in for them!

Dodge

Strange one on TO alright. Trying not to be nosy but at the same time wouldn't mind knowing the reasons.

As for relegation, I don't think its even been discussed before as it didn't happen last year

Peyton Manning

It's got nothing to do with the waiver issue that popped up a few weeks ago. That worked itself out and we were going to look at it going into the new season next year. He has his own reasons for wanting to withdraw so it's best just respect his decision and move on. The leagues are fairly handy set up. I've managed the NFL Oireland one with relative ease, so I wouldn't mind running the Prem League one next year if nobody else is willing to do it. Whatever happens, as long as we keep the league running with somebody in charge, I don't mind.

Micheal Vick

I'm already down 32 points against my division leader.

Lee Evans @ Vikes or Boldin @ Steelers.

Leaning towards Evans atm..

Freeman or Flacco????

Bah, I really wanna start Danario Alexander but can't justify dropping Mike Wallace or Calvin Johnson!

I've had him since the start so hopefully he comes up trumps from here on during the fantasy playoffs
Ryan Fitz on negative points at the moment - hopefully he has his customary strong second half

Syferus

Last second line-up changes this week involved slotting Sidney Rice in palce of Dez Bryant, who looked very risky, and Rice has already delivered 96 yards and two TDs. I rightfully feel as smart as hell.

Dodge

In with a fighting chance in all 4 leagues. Confident of at least 3 wins. A good day from Tolbert/Nanee wuld help me get the 4th

Raoul

I will make the playoffs in the Boards Division 2 if Holmes gets 32 yards!! COME ON HOLMES

Syferus

After going 5-0 in LTTP and leading every single week until right now I've managed to go on a 1-4 run and now there's going to be at least half the league on 6-4 or 5-5 going into the last week and a load of play-off place head-to-heads.

The irony of it all is I was fretting about Gore being gone and Bradshaw already being demoted, but Bradshaw delivered and it was Orton and my defence (the mostly impressive Bears) that sunk me this week.
