Vevmo Fantasy Football: 2012

[QUOTE=TheFeedMachi;326873]The Eastern Division is stacked. Just isn't fair. There isn't a weak team to feast on in division games like the Central and West divisions.[/QUOTE] Come on...I started this thing 1-4. That was not stacked to begin with.

[QUOTE=fabulous788;326889]Come on...I started this thing 1-4. That was not stacked to begin with.[/QUOTE] I also started off 1-4 before winning 4 straight

[QUOTE=TheFeedMachi;326890]I also started off 1-4 before winning 4 straight[/QUOTE] I think I've won the past 5.

I feel bad for Bazooka Joe. He's consistently in the top 2-3 spots for points scored throughout the year and still carries a negative point differential. He brings out the beast in people apparently.

[QUOTE=fabulous788;326891]I think I've won the past 5.[/QUOTE] Byproduct of facing those weak teams from the Central and West divisions. Well, last week I was upset about a 1 point loss. This week, I couldn't help but laugh at a loss I sustained in another league of mine. I lost by .01 points.

My playoff hopes look to be on life support.

[QUOTE=TheFeedMachi;327164]My playoff hopes look to be on life support.[/QUOTE] The Pats will probably be running prevent in the second half so you could get some points back. Still, you are in dire straights this week.

Then to top it all of, getting home and seeing that the Pats D/ST has 32 points scored.

If it's any consolation, in my other 2 leagues I'm going against Foster/Bryant in one and the Pats D in the other.

If I win my last 2, I should make the playoffs as long as you take care of business because I should have the tiebreaker over both of them.

I'd rather win out myself, thanks you very much :) But only one of us (myself and copples) is winning this week.

[QUOTE=fabulous788;327182]I'd rather win out myself, thanks you very much :) But only one of us (myself and copples) is winning this week.[/QUOTE] Well, I don't know how the tiebreakers work, so it is easier for me to root for you to beat copples, and then lose to me and 2liuget. There is a scenario where we could all finish 8-6, but I think copples would win the division despite having the fewest points scored due to divisional record.

It's div record, then points scored, then points against for tiebreakers.

[QUOTE=Aereas;327222]It's div record, then points scored, then points against for tiebreakers.[/QUOTE] Even for the wildcard?

I came up just short again this week with a total that would have beaten 9 other teams. It's been a long, disappointing season for the Sarks. I think the only satisfaction that can be had at this point would be to even the season series against Jackalope, even after he trades some random player off the waiver wire for the entire Zombie Squirrels roster... Speaking of disappointment, congratulations TheFeedMachi on suffering the worst drubbing in the history of Vevmo organized fantasy football! In week 4, Wallflowers had an illegal roster and were given a big fat zero and you still managed to lose by more points! You must be proud, hehe. :devil2:

Heh don't think it didn't cross my mind, but we've been past the league trade deadline for at least a week. If it makes you feel better B, I'll add a bunch of injured players to my roster to guarantee you a win (since we're both out of contention, doesn't matter). Wallflowers needed to win out to have a shot so I've successfully played the spoiler role this week. All that's left is to see if I can knock *** Clowns out of the #1 seed spot.

I wish the trade deadline wasn't 2 weeks ago because I could have flipped Reece for a new TE or WR with all of the injuries I am sustaining. If the tiebreaker for the wildcard spot is points scored and not division record, I can still get it by winning out and having 2Liuget win out. Edit: I did pretty good considering I had 1 TD from my entire team.

Well, damn. Copples and I really showed up this week...NOT. Bahahaha.

From the looks of it Copples is in regardless. Copples would also clinch the division with a win or one loss by each of me and Fab in the next 2 weeks. Either me or Fab could win the division by winning out and having Copples lose out. If I beat Fab that clinches a spot for me, since I'd have a better division record (3-3 to 2-4 if we finish at 8-6 and Feed finishes 7-7) and if there were that 4-way at 8-6 Copples would be 1st with division record, then I'd be 2nd based on H2H (3-1, Fab 2-2, Feed 1-3). Fab can clinch by beating me and Copples beating Feed, since Fab would have the sweep over me at 8-6 and Feed can only finish 7-7. Feeds got a chance but needs to win out and have me lose out, which would make Feed and Fab both 8-6 with Feed having a tiebreaker due to H2H sweep.

I just need the #1 team in scoring to lose out to teams that both put up under 60 points last week. Having the tiebreakers be head to head record and division record is the worst. If it was points scored there would be so many more possibilities for me to make it.

The division leader with the best record going into the playoffs will be the #1 seed, and the #1 seed will play the wildcard (seed #4) in the first playoff match in NFL Week 15.

Guys, just let me win and there won't be any confusion.

Oh okay. I was pretty sure it wasn't head to head or division record for wildcard spots. How is how I make the playoffs: 1. I win out and 2Liuget loses out. Fab doesn't somehow outscore me by 90 in those 2 weeks. 2. I win out and 2Liuget wins out. 2Liuget would win the division, and I would get the wildcard spot. 3. I win out, 2Liuget splits and I somehow outscore 2Liuget by 83 points in those 2 weeks. Fab needs to win out to make the playoffs, since she will not own any tiebreakers. 2Liuget just needs to split and keep his point lead. Copples just needs 1 win as well.

Fingers crossed.

TFM, You shouldn't be focusing on the playoffs just yet. You weren't going to win this last one with an average week, but you have to start asking yourself why your team did so poorly. Was it a coincidental series of poor scoring circumstances for all of your players on the same week? Or do you now have a deficiency with Harvin out, and do you need to make adjustments? It doesn't matter if you make the playoffs if you're not scoring at least 100-110 points in the coming weeks. I couldn't help but notice that you didn't make any WW grabs last night. Bacchus made 4 moves and he has nothing left to play for!

[QUOTE=Aereas;327515] I couldn't help but notice that you didn't make any WW grabs last night.

I am playing for 1st place, not 4th place. You have to think short term and long term at the same time.

[QUOTE=Bacchus;327519]I play for pride! At least for what little I have left... Is it baseball season yet? I am going to own all of you. ALL OF YOU! :wink2:[/QUOTE] You will not own me, because I will not be playing. :D

[QUOTE=fabulous788;327921]You will not own me, because I will not be playing. [/QUOTE] My fear tactics are working. Muahahahahahaha!

[QUOTE=Bacchus;327952]My fear tactics are working. Muahahahahahaha![/QUOTE] Or because fantasy baseball is stupid because it is too tough to follow. I can't even watch all of my team's games during baseball season, let alone keep track of what is going on for the other 29 teams for 162 games.
