blonde NFL Fantasy League 2019/20

[Graham C]

Jees, 174 points for Curtis in the last week!  Witchcraft me thinks!

Can't believe I benched Ty Taylor for bloody Cam Newton in Cavey's league.  That and swapping Jarvis Landry in for LeGarrette Blount cost me the championship.

It's all over so quickly.

Lost against no tight end in my league too... Bell be Johnson was no surprise in the final 2 though. I got 5th after some embarrassing losses during the season. Finished second for the second year running in my other league. Went boom or bust with Lockett and Ginn... It was bust.

And as predicted Kingston Dreadlockers stuffed me in the losers bracket in the redraft league B

unlucky to bobby1 in blonde b.

Big swings in our match up, i had two broken legs on saturday and feared the worst (Carr, Lockett) and was indebted once again to David Johnson who was a match winner week in week out all season and was so again in the final with 29 points. Proved to be the difference between the two sides

still, was pretty happy to see through my sleepy eyes Tyreek the freak rip off the 70yd rushing TD last night though

Well played Rich, It was bit of a tanning in the end. Think the really top class players at their positions on your team made the difference against my solid bunch. Tough to win if none of your outfield players score a touchdown and your D and Kicker have a mare too.

Was  tough week for me as in a different final I was defending 36 against Bell and Tucker in their Christmas day games and they put 41 together too. Then my D team (what would have been my D team) put up about 180-190 in finals week after I was knocked out in the semi.

Roll on next year tho, can't be coincidence that this years roll of honour has you, Tal and ChipRich in it again. Well played guys.

Many thanks for running the comps again Curtis.

[Sheriff Fatman]

Just to keep you all in the loop, I'll be hitting the spreadsheets over the weekend and will confirm winners/prizes by then.

Congrats to the winners of the various finals.

[Ironside]

3 freaking seasons i have played this game now, 3 season i have had Zach Ertz as my TE, 3 seasons every time i put him on the bench he has a good game,. So i bring him back and medicorism and crapness returns , so what happens week 17 he gets a 100+ yards and 2 TDs so i am hoodwinkled into drafting him next season for him to score and average of 3 points every time i put him in my line up


roll on next season

[KarmaDope]

Worst thing about the playoffs.

Watching Brown, Roethlisberger and Adams combine for about 80 points when they did fuck all in the last three weeks of the regular season and cost me a shot at a title.

Then watching Cobb score more touchdowns in one match than I think he did throughout the entirety of the regular season.

Fuck this game.

I'll be back next year ;-)

Yes, fully aware of it, but the kids are my weekend time-sponge (plus a dreary trip to Blackpool this weekend for the FA Cup).  Aiming to have payouts done in the next couple of days (tonight unlikely as I have a Uni class this evening, but tomorrow evening is clear).

[Sheriff Fatman]

Quick update.  Apologies for the delay, but I've now finally completed the bulk of the work on the spreadsheet to work out the various results in the combined redraft leagues.

Just got a bit of checking to do later this evening, but should finally be in a position to post results/payouts before I hit the hay tonight.  I just want to double check the outputs first, to make sure that it's calculating things correctly for the expanded league sizes (i.e. the increase from 10 to 12 teams).

[Sheriff Fatman]

The Combined League (which takes everyones weekly scores from each of the re-draft leagues, ranks them, and then awards wins/losses based on each individual matchup that week) was won narrowly by TightEnd, who pipped bobby1 to the prize by a single win.

For clarity, if you had the top score in the week you get a 23-0 record, 2nd highest 22-1, etc.  The final table adds up all the weekly totals from each week of the regular season.  Play-off weeks aren't included in this competition, as not all teams have fixtures in those weeks, so it's not possible to generate a full ranking for those weeks.

Best draft.

For the 2nd year running, I manage to get the best overall score from an eligible roster made up of the originally drafted players' aggregate scores over the entire season (regardless of whether or not they stayed on your roster).  Remarkably, this was despite my 1st round pick, Adrian Peterson, contributing only 6 points in the season prior to getting injured).

Best scores for each team are listed below:

Congrats to everyone who got a return at the end of the season, particularly to Tighty, ChipRich and Tal who overcame the lottery of their respective play-offs to win the individual leagues.

Please feel free to sense-check the figures as you see fit, and if you spot any errors please let me know.

Could all those who are due a payment please PM me with bank details, and I'll sort out payments by the end of the week (to allow a day or two for people to check the figures).

Hope you all had fun playing this season.  As usual, please let me have any feedback ahead of next season (I'll be pondering the draft-pick rulings for next year in the D-League following bobby1's non-selection strategy in his final game, as that may well need to be amended going forward).  

Here's to doing it all again in 2017.

Edit: If anyone wants a copy of the spreadsheet with the various workings on, to assist with their sense checking, then please let me know.  I'm not sure if it will function correctly on google docs, so it's probably easier to email.
