2015 Fantasy League (NFL)

A little boy waits...

fudge this stupid game. 

Congrats on the win LeighboNZ. I didn't have enough to match up against the likes of Baldwin and Julius Thomas who had big games.  

Looks like Tegal & me are starting to limp home after starting quickly.  Anyone can win it in the playoffs.  Jimmy Graham injury is  a pain for me (although he wasn't doing much) & to top it off I got smashed as well in payslaves on the back of that Sammy Watkins game.  I swear he only plays well when I bench him.

THe last Wildcard spot is going to go down to the wire...

Currently I am 8-4, Hammers 7-5.

Tiebreak shows me with a head to head victory, but we play in Week 13, with it ALL on the line, a win for Hammers would remove H2H as a tiebreak option and drop it to Points for...I have 1363.6 (K.Aiken to play), Hammers have 1365.3...(Of course if my team wins then it will look like a huge gap at 10-3 vs 8-5)

so you have 1380 and I have 1365, so I have to win by 15 points to make the play-offs.  Tense.

Neither of us have set our teams yet and you are projected to win by 10 points, so we are really looking at a 25 point swing (although that will drop a bit when I add some players and Tyler Eifert gets ruled out with injury).

Yup exactly that, you have to beat me by the difference in points

Except Eifert out will increase my projection, as direct replacement is Barnidge :D

I WON. I ACTUALLY WON. OMG. 

Match-ups

A great result for the Waffles to give them the advantage going into the final week. A huge day for Russell Wilson as he ripped of 36pts in his 5TD performance. The rest of the Waffles team just turned up and got ~10pts per player. While the Whale had Maclin (26.5) & Tom Brady (24.2) really turn up, but the side was let down by a large number of players just not turning up at all.

These two teams are battling for the Merrick Division runners-up award, neither of them in the hunt for even an above 500 season, but the Fairies have now won 4 on the trot to really get back into this. DeAngelo  led the comeback this week putting down 21.2pts, Mariota with 19.4pts & Spencer Ware with 19 are helping out on this front as well. It is the team being led by players who were back-ups earlier in the season. While Nialls Paul have to be disappointed with Dez Bryant not showing up, especially as with the loss of Romo it is going to be tough in the final week as well.

Now this was the result NO-ONE expected, when I looked a few weeks back for the week that Troopers had a chance to get their win for the season this one wasn't given a chance. The Troopers really stepped up and defeated the new Merrick Champions for this season. Led by an incredible game from Doug Baldwin with 3 TDs helping get him 36.5pts, Fitzpatrick  helped out with 29.2pts, and Julius Thomas & Travis Benjamin put in some excellent work as well. A great game from Peterson was excellent but not enough for the Billikids to overcome the Troopers.

The battle for the Herbert Division ended in a blowout as Tegal's team has been depleted by injuries, other than Gronk no one decided to turn up for this game, while Swarlos had everything come up roses as Marshall, Landry & OBJ blew the feild away with a combined total creeping close to 90pts. This gives them the headstart in the race for the division, but they face Billikids for the final round.

The Hammers had to win this game to stay in the playoff hunt and they did it with some serious style as Calvin Johnson went MEGA! scoring 31pts, while others contributed 17pts to help out, and the Usos just had nothing going for them, the Hammers now face Waffles for the final spot in the playoffs (Needing to win by 15pts to advance)

Standings

The only confirmed result now is that the Billikids have won their division.

Possible Playoff Scenarios

1) Rodriguez defeats Billikids

Rodriguez gets #1 Seed. Billikids get #2 seed, Tegal #3 seed, winner of Waffles/Hammers gets #4 seed

2) Billikids defeat Rodrgiuez

a) Tegal wins

Tegal gets #1, Billikids #2, Rodriguez #3, winner of Waffles/Hammers gets #4 seed

b) Tegal loses

i) Waffles win

Billikids #1, Rodriguez #2, Waffles #3, Tegal #4 (This is caused by it being a H2H three-way tie break)

ii) Hammers win by >15pts

Billikids #1, Rodriguez #2, Tegal #3, Hammers #4

iii) Hammers win by LESS than 15pts

Billikids #1, Rodriguez #2, Tegal #3, Waffles #4

Draft Order as it Stands

i'm pretty sure I got a second THIRD ROUND pick from Tegal as well - does that ring a bell?

yeah that was your third round pick back :)

Ah - right. So confused...maybe i picked up another one off of someone else. My trades went apesh!t

I'll go through all the trades in advance of setting the final order to check I have them all, so not an issue :D

only an issue if I traded a pick that I didn't have. But I'm very sure Leigh traded his 3rd round to me, and I traded it back to him. 

Hey guys, just a quick heads up.

I won a game. 

Cheers.

I am very appreciative of you beating Rammtallica. 

I do what I can

Booooo

was hoping for more than 12 points from Mr Thanksgiving.

I'll take it.

Minutes before kick off and I can tell you where I am going to lose this week - choosing Scott Chandler over Safari-Jenkins. 

Oh well, it's been a roller coaster. Good luck Jono

Edit - I bought myself a new bottle of vodka to help me get through this. Very nervous

Seattle getting a load of bullshark penalties building to Wilson running in a TD, and Powell catching a pass for a TD (when these were going to Ivory before his fumble a few minutes ago) means I have now conceded defeat

You don't know how much this performance by R.Wilson & Rawls is gutting me...My Vikes are decimated on Defense, we had 4 of 11 starters out in the 1st quarter...Harrison, Blanton, Joseph & Barr all down...But those two penalties are a crock of shark, the first one "How is he a defenceless receiver when he looks straight at the guy hitting him? It's supposed to stop blindside hits in the process of the guy getting the catch" and then Wilson got up to try and run again and Robison pulled him down again?!?!

Well my team put up 141pts, a reasonable effort. All they could do, now looking for the Hammers to be kept down.

yeah, I'm done. Needed the Vikings D to do something but that never happened  

wanted to italic the word"something" but iPad/vodka/shark website/technology made that difficult for me. 

Can't believe the NY result - had money on the Giants to win so Manning throwing an intercept from about the 6 yard line when up 20-10 up halfway through the 4th quarter was amazingly annoying 

Yeah our d was non-existant today...

So at this point it is highly likely that it'll be Swarlos vs Waffles (Colombia vs Belgium) & Rammtallica vs Tegal in the Playoffs...

The rest of you will be laying off for the bonus pick in the draft.

I'm not sure I find anybody else in the league sexy enough to lay with...

*ahem*

I stand by my stat

Goddammit....*Playing...I hate typing :P

Highly Likely Final Standings...

And that would give the Draft order (Top 6 at least)

The final four slots are based on finish in the playoffs (Pick 7 is the SF loser with the worst record, Pick 8 is the SF loser with best record).

PLAYOFFS

this should be a very interesting playoffs

Very happy with a John Brown TD to start the week, would rather it wasn't against my Vikings :D

Adrian's fumble problems still around, seriously how after all these years has he not fixed that...?!?

not sure why this thread is still going - season finished last weekend.

I'm going to get another win it would appear. Holy crap.
