FFL 2014-2015 - Season under way

Post #1021 » by **floppymoose** » Sun Sep 21, 2014 11:36 pm

I didn't buy BBM this year, but if it's like prior years, you can also say you want total stats instead of per game, and then select a "replacement players" option. Collectively, those do a decent job of dealing with players who are expected to play only part of the season due to injury.

BBM could be worthwhile if you're going to do fanduel or draftkings.

And I'm done.

PG - Jose Calderon
SG - KCP
G - Kemba Walker
G - Kyle Korver
SF - Mike Dunleavy
PF - Dirk Nowitzki
F - Wilson Chandler
F - Kevin Garnett
C - Joakim Noah
C - JaVale McGee
Bn- Jason Terry
Bn - Mo Williams
Bn - Caron Butler
Bn- Kosta Koufos

I tried getting value for the most part. I tried to not take many risks, especially with injury prone players, but I still feel like this team is capable of getting banged up. I Just can't find a way to draft all iron-men, I easily cave for value.

I like my 3's, FT% (even with JaVale), and TO...too bad I need 5 cats instead of 3. Noah and McGee are going to help me against any team that didn't try to join into the tank FT% race...but I'll still get slaughtered 3-5 to any team that did.

If Garnett decides to go out with a bang I'll be in good shape. There isn't much depth in Brooklyn anyway.
Jason Terry is another old timer who might be revitalized to improve on his performance last year, and doesn't have much competition on the 2nd unit.
Caron Butler didn't get paid 9 million over 2 years to sit on the bench, and he's my KCP insurance.

Most of us tend to draft guys who could explode once the picks in the 200's come. I took veterans who had down years with the hope that they'll regain some mojo from years past. Ultimately, I have players who I shouldn't drop but will want too all season long.

This team isn't winning, but it won't come in last. A slew of 4-5 losses are in my future, but if I get lucky I could be able to sneak into the playoffs...where anything can happen.

Feel free to tell me how awful this team is, and how my idea for a team makeup was stupid

Church. I think he is a leader, like the equivalent of a deacon. I could be wrong but its the majority of his day.

The same here. I assumed someone else already did.

You said recently that Sundays are bad for you, so I just assumed you knew and couldn't find a chance to make your pick. My Bad, next time I'll at least check the boards to see if someone sent you a reminder. You should have Sabonis drafting after you...he'd let you know when you are 2 picks away :wink:

This is the deepest draft I can ever remember.

Most years it seems to fall off around 160. And after 180. And after 200 it drops to the point where you just don't know what you are getting.

Sly just picked up Alan Anderson at 267. 267. Guy could be starting.

It's not just that pick though, about half the picks since 200 look like guys with the upside to be solid contributors.

Maybe I'm just crazy, but, it seems to me the league has changed somehow.

I think it's more of a combination of realization and everyone getting better. Last year I took Lance Stephenson in the 200s, and he led the league in triple doubles at one point. Fact is, every year there are a dozen guys on waivers who are worth adding even before injuries occur

This year seems deeper to me as well. but not by so much. For example Alan Anderson when starting and getting 22mpg is a scrub anyway. I think he was top 220 or something in the last 2 seasons. And even if many picks after 200 seem like they can contribute, they won't do jack, they will mostly be "potentially" or "on paper" good picks, just like any season.

I was between two guys decided for derrick
my team is full

Pg TParker ( pg ) - is parker great Fg and 1st option to make points in sa. Duncan is a year older and they have way more option to give him time to rest - with mills out till asg parker is going to need to play cause they dont have rotation @ pg

sg Joe Johnson ( sg/sf ) -w/o pp i expect him to at least do what he did last year

g Patrick Beverley ( Pg/sg ) - love this kid - he is a fighter i expect him to go to other level this year

g Tyreke Evans ( sg/sf ) - aminu played 25.6 last season his min are going to go to who?

sf Terrence Ross ( sg/sf ) almost 30mpg last year this is his 3rd year

Pf Andre Drummond ( pf/c ) - omfg i love this guy and svg too cause no more jsmith / monroe / AD that means ...

f Mirza Teletovic ( sf/pf ) - w/o PP love is situation . his per 36 are crazy

f Amir Johnson ( pf/c ) - safe pick 116

c Roy Hibbert ( pf/c ) - everybody knows what he got to do right ?

c Derrick Favors ( pf/c ) - he will finish top 30 - i expect carrer year

b Thabo Sefolosha ( sg/sf ) - atl trade for him and to do that they give away his 16pick the brasilian guy and that got to mean something - what i listen was to move korver to sf and to give him the sg spot lets wait

b Tyler Zeller ( pf/c ) - i c´s die hard fan and i can grty you that he going to start - when giving time in clev he was great - the c´s prefer him to tristan thompson and that tell me alot - ps also coach loves him

b Bojan Bogdanovic ( sg/sf ) -did you saw what he did in the world cup? no? ok go to the nets board lol btw between him and anderson its not even a question who starts

b Derrick Williams ( sf/pf ) - crazy pf situation in sacramento who knows?!?! what i know is last year he played some nice games ...

I have a ballanced team i think i only need other pg slot
my 1st idea was to tank ft% especially since curtis been winning by doing that

there are a few pg now that fit the tank ft% rondo, mcw, payton, mario etc
well decided to change that once again a made a few trades up and down
