Nearly had as many points on the bench as on the field this week

Playoffs next week...I'm matched up against Syferus and his RGIII, Doug Martin, BMarsh juggernaut! Have a few selection headaches this week as well, Kaep or Big Ben, the Lloyd/Jones/Hilton revolving door at WR as well.

Very competitive league this year, some going to have 8 teams over 1,000 points from only 12 games.

RG3 got ganked at exactly the worst time, in what was a meaningless end-of-regular-season match for my team. The whole LeSean McCoy/Bryce Brown timebomb is just waiting to explode on me as well so I'd be happy just to be competitive enough to have the chance to sneak a victory if someone breaks out, honestly.

I noticed I was the highest scoring team in the regular season and when I looked back at the 2010 season that I won I was also the highest scoring regular season team. Good omens?

Oh, and those stupid Snickers-sponsored hunger foul awards are completely polluting the trophy room section, who the heck wants a reminder of a week where they left a load of points on the bench? It'd be like Bill Belichick putting a Worst Coach of the Week award pride of place in his cabinet.

Syferus

Ironically RG3 being out didn't hurt me in the least, Sam Bradford had a career day and got me 27 points. It was Brown and Martin failing to do absolutely anything that killed me.

Oh, and the Bengals defence scoring 21 points. Thank you Philadelphia.

SSK

Hard luck Syf, I would have been sick if I lost that one considering I had nearly 100 points on the bench. Scared Cam is gonna score about 100 points against the Raidahs this week!

Syferus

Good luck SSK, hope you go on top win it!

I've pre-activated the league for the 2013 season, everyone bar The Grant Winsomes (who hasn't been discernibly active since early November) is eligible to play next year and will be able to easily reclaim their teams next season if they so wish.

Obviously there'll be an interest check before the new season but just in case anyone was wondering what'll happen I thought I'd let you all know.

Oh, and we won't be filling the open spot until nearer the new season so if someone wants it you'll have to wait..!

I'd be delighted to play next year too, I have to make up for this years devastation.

I have a great team, I just performed poorly :pac:

Syferus

Congrats to SSK/One Handed Grabs on winning the league championship, who improved on last year's 3rd place finish by going on a Giants-esque run (6-6 in the regular season) and winning the title.

To be continued..

SSK

Cheers Syferus, I continued my pretty consistent scoring from the regular season throughout the playoffs and thankfully it was good enough to see me over the line.

Looking forward to next year already!

Congrats on the win SKK, patching my team up finally caught up with me, and to be honest you must have been terribly unlucky to go 6-6 with that roster.

Syferus

I'll be getting this league restarted soon, and in case you've forgot we'll be holding the draft after Week 2 of the regular season!

Any of the returning members who want to continue post here, I'll send a PM and email to any stragglers nearer the draft date.

The draft will be this Wednesday at 9PM GMT. I'll be sending out the notices and clearing out the dead wood before then and getting the new members set up in time to draft.

Hulk Hands

This still going ahead tomorrow? Any chance we could push the draft back 30 mins?

That would suit me much better too, I finish work at 9 and probably wont make it home til about 9:25.

I don't mind sitting in autodraft for the first few picks though if 9 suits everyone else better though

SSK

9.30 suits me better as well, means a 6.30am start rather than 6

minty16

I am back in sorry for late response! looks like ive logged in with good timing, the draft is tomorrow ?

Adamcp898

I fully intend on participating but I may not be able to make the draft tonight lads

radharc

Haven't received any PM on this, am I in?

shoutman

Ditto, would need a response by 5.30 otherwise I wont be able to commit to tonight.

Adamcp898

What's up with the draft lads????

curry-muff

Offline Draft: Your commissioner needs to submit offline draft results.

Onecoolcookie

So is this happening tonight at all? Probably won't be able to make anything later this week so even if we could do it later tonight that would suit better

Just means he hasn't confirmed a time for it. Something must have came up.

SSK

Any word on whether we're drafting this week or what?

Adamcp898

Is this league happening this year?

SSK

Would also like to know...

Syferus is posting elsewhere so would love to know what the story is?

Guffy

Does anyone know how I can leave the league. Don't want to play it this year and its annoying me in my list.

Spongey1975

Who won this league last year?

Guffy

Don't think it went ahead did it?

It didn't go ahead, Syferus forgot all about it or something I assume because a draft was scheduled and then nothing.
