a weekly line-up setting is more suitable for roto. in head2head, it really doesn't make sense. i guess cy and i assumed it to be daily line up because that's the default one. sure we should have checked, but the settings should at least be mentioned here somewhere. if i knew i would have drafted differently, but whatever. it's something new and i'll take that as a challenge.

To keep it challenging, but I wish I knew about that "rule" beforehand.

weird, i didnt type that. who edited my post? it doesnt even make sense to me.

Shit, I pressed 'edit' instead of 'quote.' Sorry about that, the two buttons are right next to each other and they look almost identical. Anyway, I fixed it.

Indy you lucky bastard.... Paul Pierce with 29 pts 19rbs 4 ast

[[Q]]

Honestly, who in their right mind picks Chris Paul & Lamar Odom with their first two picks?????


Let's jst hope Kobe sits some more games so Lamar can take over.

[---]

I think Kobe is back in the next game, hell I'm gonna need him.

i have #24 (lol sheesh whats up with change anyway) in doobie's league so im laughing and crying at the same time..

imo weekly lineup formats are the best, especially in leagues where you only start 6 players. you can actually use strategy to win your matchup- i.e- the team you play is strong in 3's/assists so you plan to start a pg/sg instead of a big man for your utility spot...

in daily lineup leagues, you're just loading up on games/starting whoever is playing in a given night. what fun is that? plus as someone said in the other thread, theres no way of stoppping anyone from abusing the add/drop


anyone interested in Brad Miller and/or Andre Miller? not looking to dump them but i'm just seeing what kind of players i can get for either/both

[[Q]]

oh yeah Baron Davis is also expendable. will sell him for cheap, preferably for blocks

exactly man, thats why its perfect in a roto league, use strategy to get stats. but in head2head, you are just trying to beat your opponent for that week, no player stats are stacked up for the season. maximizing the profits for that one week, weekly lineup cant do that. nobody knows how a player will perform in a perticular week. just because a player is good at something doesnt mean he'll bring you that for that week you put him in. a player catches fire in one week and you put him in next week because you lack whatever he provides, but one week is such a long time that the player might not repeat it again and you just waste that spot for an entire week. thats my opinion.

[air gordon]

interesting...

profits are still being "maximized" but in addition the strategy lineup is there. you have the opportunity to put the lineup you think will win the most categories for that given week.

it's not fun/doesn't take much skill to start as many guys as possible, cross your fingers you come out on top. it's pretty on silly in daily leagues you can add/drop players so you have a full lineup for the last 2 days

btw- you pointed out why you think weekly lineups are no good. what in your opinion are the advantages of using a daily lineup league (other then option to start your hometown hero as your 2nd utility spot on thursday lol)?

nobody knows how a player will perform in a perticular week. just because a player is good at something doesnt mean he'll bring you that for that week you put him in. a player catches fire in one week and you put him in next week because you lack whatever he provides, but one week is such a long time that the player might not repeat it again and you just waste that spot for an entire week.

lol of course. but this is a copout using the "any given sunday" theory. the same can be said game to game so this argument is nil

there's always the element of chance & risk/reward but that just makes it more interesting.

it's frickin awesome in this weekly lineup money league i'm with some friends, 4yrs running. we all have spreadsheets setup with the statistical projections. on sunday nite, we all try to figure who we think our opponent is starting for the week then decide who to start/what categories to go for

the lineup deadline is 2AM. even some of us sneaky bastards put in our real lineup at 1:59 am just to throw off each other.

anyway, daily lineups are ok but it's cake when you have the opportunity to actually determine which statistical categories you want to win/punt in a given week

[MC Hao]

i look for fun in head2head, if i want to work my brains out, i'd do roto. weekly lineup taken out the fun for me imo, now i have to do the same shit i do for roto. with the amount of free time i have, i cant do that much thinking for the line-ups. i spend 4 or 5 minutes on it max, thats more than enough to do daily lineups but cant do that if i have to involve strategy. oh well, looks like my $5 is gone. next time when im prepared i'll kick ass for sure.

[Indy]

Showdown between me and Gordon right off the bat, should be interesting.

Donatello beat me in all the pussy categories, FT%, 3PM (by one) and turnovers (by 3). You're lucky you got any points at all.

Look how badly I destroyed in the rebounding category. I had your total by the 3rd day of the week.

Gordon, your life is about to be over.

[---]

Damn. Too bad Kobe missed those two games and Ilgauskas was utter shit. I got completely ripped apart by Gordon...

Gordon, your life is about to be over.

i was thinking of starting Andre Miller just for you and I was even thinking of starting Granger in hopes of me benefitting from him taking stats from baby AL hehe. but i passed since Turkey-Glue had 4 games and is the better play

i should take ft%, assists, 3's, and rebs. the rest will be close.

flight_23: yeh tough luck. would have been much closer had #24 played all the games. if it's any consolation- brad miller was shite for me and probably won't even play this week

to one of the lurkers- i told you about Nazr

[cyanide]

For a guy who missed the entire draft, I'm doing pretty well. Or at least, my players are

[---]

Zach Randolph for MVP!!!

35pts 13rbs (6off) 1ast 3blk 2stl

65% FG 87% FT



On the other hand, Chauncey was trash


EDIT: Could some one enlighten me on how the playoffs work?

[Indy]

I don't know why you think you'll take rebounds, I had 116 this week, and you had 119. Plus Camby has one more game this week then he had last.

I'll take points and field goal percentage for sure.

[air gordon]

Camby will probably get hurt and if dick hamilton shoots like he did last nite, i'm taking fg%

seriously- i had more rebounds last week then you and that's with Bosh waiting until the 2nd game of the season to play and Brad Miller playing injured

8-1 is good start hehe

flight- click on the "rules" link, which is right above about the big, blue "launch statracker" button. you'll find all the info you need and probably more there

[Indy]

AHEM, and we're tied.

[Nick]

Oh how i wish i joined this thing.

[Indy]

Oh how i wish i joined this thing.

Well, when I win you can send me your 5 bucks and pretend that you played and lost.

[cyanide]

^ 'If' you win. I learned last year from air gordon that anybody can win. Well, not everyone, but the top half by All-Star break. Factors such as injuries, inconsistencies, games played, bad games and break out games can make or break a week matchup.

KOBE!!!!!

Kobe is back. Kukoc is dead.

Haven't you ever heard of trash talk in a joking manner?

[[Q]]

the main part of the playoffs takes only the top 6, and places them in a regular single elimination 8 person bracket. #1 and #2 seeds get a bye the first week while 3 plays 6 and 4 plays 5. winner of 3/6 plays the 2 seed and the winner of 4/5 plays the 1 and then it goes on until there's one winner.

Ah, I forgot about that one. I'm just used to hearing, "whoever's the cockiest is gonna end up losing"
