2020 scum league fantasy football

with the assumption that the season goes as planned...

I'll let Mith pick who the new L1 commish is. I assume Mith will still commish L2 unless he's busy and wants a break so I'll volunteer.

/in below to play.

Rules:
  • Don't join unless you will participate for the entire season. Failure to do so may result in relegation or banning from the league.
  • All moves should be made with the intent of improving your team. Collusion is not acceptable.
  • See the Yahoo! rules for more information.
Rosters and Scoring:
  • Rosters: 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 D/ST, 1 K, 6 BN, 1 IR; Scoring is Yahoo! standard except no PPR.
League Setup:
  • We will have one or more leagues of 8, 10, 12, or 14 depending on the number of players signing up.
  • Invites will go out to the previous year's participants based on order of finish, in order to form League 1.
  • After signups have been open for week or two (or maybe a bit longer, since signups went up early this year) and the player list is somewhat stable, I will fill League 1 and assign remaining players to League 2 (and 3, if needed).
  • Don't start a league to "help out". I will select a commish for the other Leagues once I know who is going to be in the leagues.

Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

In post 31, mith wrote:I'll play if it's absolutely necessary for even numbers. Otherwise I think I'm out this year.
thanks, Mith. I'd rather not force you to play so hopefully, we can just find someone else to make evens but I will need you to invite me to L2 and make me commish unless you want someone else to do it this year which is fine. Also is there someone that you want to specifically run L1?

that said, anyone here that also hasn't signed up for auction wants to play it? We need 1 or 3.

yes, I'm just scatterbrained. It was meant to be 9. And when my dumbass set the deadline I did not realize offhand that it was PACIFIC time and I did not make that connection till...now. So it should really be 6 PDT, 8 CDT, 9 EDT which makes sense that L1 and auction would have similar drafting schedules since we share a boatload of players. I picked Wednesday b/c its Sharon's day off (or used to be at least) However, the auction when is good also shows Tuesday @ the same time is available. So we can do ours Tuesday and KMD can do L1 Wednesday. Crisis averted.

thought that at least might get a chuckle....

If I get L2 access I am going to make the draft date Monday September 7th @ 7 pm CST/8 pm EST. i know not everyone can make it but there are no times when everyone can make it. Wednesday September 2nd, Thursday September 3rd, Tuesday September 8th and Wednesday September 9th all at the same times are all workable too if that would fit ppls schedules better.

KMD can do w/e he wants for L1 unless he wants me to do something and i'll just random order things if so. Maybe next year we can do the wonderlic in advance.

over 50% of the league going to the playoffs just seems kinda wonky to me. I'm also stupid and don't really know how that would work. I guess that means playoffs would be weeks 14, 15 and 16 with the 3 playoff games in week 14...I guess the #1 seed gets week 15 off and 2 and 3 play and the winner of 2 and 3 play 1 in week 16?

A 4 person playoff is just 1 plays 4 and 2 plays 3 in week 15, and the 2 winners play in week 16. I'll have to check but I assume a 4 person playoff with 2 divisions is the the 2 winners of each division and the next 2 are based on next best record so you could theoretically have 3 playoff teams from 1 division.

L2 draft is in the books!

Bone's Broken Boners had the best draft with an A grade. He should maybe think about getting a defense though.

Spoiler:
1. (5) Alvin Kamara (NO - RB)
2. (16) George Kittle (SF - TE)
3. (25) Lamar Jackson (Bal - QB)
4. (36) Raheem Mostert (SF - RB)
5. (45) Cooper Kupp (LAR - WR)
6. (56) Courtland Sutton (Den - WR)
7. (65) Jordan Howard (Mia - RB)
8. (76) Jarvis Landry (Cle - WR)
9. (85) Ronald Jones II (TB - RB)
10. (96) Deebo Samuel (SF - WR)
11. (105) Austin Hooper (Cle - TE)
12. (116) Henry Ruggs III (LV - WR)
13. (125) Larry Fitzgerald (Ari - WR)
14. (136) Matt Prater (Det - K)
15. (145) Joe Burrow (Cin - QB)


Next up is Always Thuney with an A minus. I was very suprised to get Kelce in the 3rd round.

Spoiler:
1. (3) Derrick Henry (Ten - RB)
2. (18) Aaron Jones (GB - RB)
3. (23) Travis Kelce (KC - TE)
4. (38) Amari Cooper (Dal - WR)
5. (43) Terry McLaurin (Was - WR)
6. (58) Deshaun Watson (Hou - QB)
7. (63) T.Y. Hilton (Ind - WR)
8. (78) Diontae Johnson (Pit - WR)

It
can be
a risk sure, but there are times when the other positions give a dud performance. Mostly in baseball, I'll intentionally not start a pitcher b/c I think they have a bad start. So not starting a defense if you think it's too risky to is a valid strat but those extra pts you could get from a D is nice.

So umm, I did the schedule last night and I went with the 6 go to the playoffs wich means each team plays each division opponent twice and non-division once. Not that I'm going to change anyting but I just wanted to ask, in a 10 player league that does 4 in the playoffs that means each team plays each division opponent twice and non-division once and then an extra game against one random team. Do you guys feel like one is more fair than the other or are they just about the same?

yeah, I should prob replace Watson. I don't feel like you are
THAT
bad off. CMC is only out for like a month and a half, right? And Bell gets back week 5 And Robinson/Swift is prob not the worst fill in. You are also #4 in waivers so I think that is going to guarantee you are going to get one of the top RB wire pick ups.

If someone was absolutly loaded @ RB and needed a QB and/oror a TE then I think a trade would make sense but Poker shouldn't be expecting like a stud RB or anything.

FTR, Poker is basically offering Goff and/or Fant since he prob wants to keep Ertz for the name recognition. Someone like Joe could certainly use an upgrade @ QB but I doubt he'd trade Akers or Gordan. Fish could certainly use a TE but I doubt he'd want to part with Mixon in case he starts doing better. Kittle isn't doing really well but Bone has RB woes of his own. Andrews didn't do great this week but I don't think he'd want to buy a new TE.

Like I said, Robinson/Swift/waiver wire pick up and you'll be fine.

Another week another blowout loss for Mr. Toad's Wild ride as he was defeated by Always Thuney 130 to 102.48 to inch his way into the top spot in the MS South division.

Toad lost Barkley for the year but should be ok as he has a bevy of backs including Gurly, Fournette, Hunt, and Freeman. Next up Toad faces the 5th ranked Get Reckt and Thuney faces the 6th ranked Pabs Blue Ribbon. Both teams (Get Reckt and Pabs) are coming off of their first victory. Get Reckt defeating Joe's (not so) Marvelous team and Pabs pulling out a close one against the Tatum Bellhops.

In a battle of winless teams, Joe will face off against the Magic Bears and the bellhops face the 3rd ranked fishes. The Fishes defeated the aptly named Bone's Broken Boner as he limps into week 3 with a broken roster. He lost Sutton to an ACL, Mostert to an MCL. It's a bummer that he couldn't pull a hat trick and have someone pull their PCL. Kittle was already dealing with an MCL and Brown also has a broken finger but both are supposed to play this weak. He still has no defense.

In week 3 Bones faces the topped ranked Poker's Aces who are dealing with injury woes of their own. Bell was previously on IR and he lost CMC for a little over a month.

this isn't entirely true. If they don't use the WW on Tuesday then they'll move up in the order.

BBM got Jefferson who was one of if not the top add this week. One of the reasons he's doing poorly is b/c he took a HUGE risk by drafting Fournette in the 2nd. He prob could have grabbed him much later

Also his kicker got hurt. Hurst got hut and Barkley got hurt but he ended up getting his replacement anyways so seems kinda moot.

He just didn't have a very good draft and it happens.

What Reck is saying that the player that's in last place should get his or her top pick. The only thing that I see that might be a slight problem is if you...like you can still have close losses and a good team and then if you're in last place you just get to pad your team with the top WW pick while teams that are affected by injuries and such but might be getting by are getting so much worse.

I think I can edit his roster and give him back all the players he dropped and then lock his team. I think that might be the most fair thing?

What do you think is the most ethical thing to do, let us vulture his roster or to let me put humpty dumpty back together again?

As much as I want DK Metcalf I do think the correct play is to put his roster back together and just let his team be an npc for the rest of the year but I'm also going to go with the majority.

Guy, I never made it a "point" I made a maybe not so funny joke about you drafting Fournette in the draft recap and maybe I made the same silly joke gain in the week 2 recap but this is the only time that I've come right out and said that you didn't have a great draft. Its not meant to be an insult and I'm not sure why you are taking it as one. I understand why you drafted the players you did but your roster hasn't really panned out and thats just an objective truth. Not sure why you are throwing a temper tantrum about it.


I mean, if the WW was meant to be set on not continual rolling list then that's on me but thats what it was previously set on and what I remember.

So I consulted the internet. Most of what I found were sites/articles about who to pick up but I did find

https://www.fantasyjocks.com/blogs/news ... ball-rules

and what I felt was a really funny line
he last place team is catapulted to the top of the pecking order, getting his or her choice of the crop of free agents, regardless of how many moves you made in the previous week/s.
I assume only leagues consisting of members under the age of 14 use this setting
, and only because it was the default and they don’t know how to change it.
:lol:

and

https://dynastyleaguefootball.com/2015/ ... r-options/


both those sites, my personal feelings and several of you guys have said that FAAB is the most fair. I do like auction b/c everyone mostly has the same chance to get any player both in the draft and off waivers. In hindsight maybe I should have been more proactive and made the change to FAAB or at least proposed the idea of switching it to FAAB. I also think that L1 and L2 should have the same type of waivers so I'll send KMD a pm later and we'll talk about things.

Also its just a game.

yeah Reck I'm not really understanding. The only thing I can think of is when he has injured or byes and he's not there to switch them out then yeah it does give the team he's playing that week an advantage but that's not all that different than an inactive owner. If he has an empty roster then he just gives free wins and then yes his division opponents would have an advantage. Maybe we'll get a replace or if you wanted me to kinda manage his team and try to make it competitive I could. (I promise I wouldn't do anything to benefit my main team) it seems like if we allowed his roster to just get vultured then the players that get his said players would benefit greatly.

I feel like you have it backwards man. If his roster is empty then he's giving out free wins. If his roster is restored then he's just a weak npc.

I rather get a replace but I understand Recks position a little better though it still feels a bit wrong to let folks cannibalize his roster like that.

it's not necessarily a free win each week. His roster could still have a good week and if a team is racked by injuries and or bye weeks he could easily win. What guarantees that he gives out free wins is if we allow him to have an empty roster. I'm bugging people to fill in.

So @ some point this season I will be making a poll about changes we might be implementing
next season
. I would like you guys, either in this thread or via pm/discord to make proposals on what we will vote on.

So far the things we will be voting on are

-making FAAB our waiver and the budget (I propose $100)
-using ppr
-getting rid of kickers
-draft pick trades
-getting rid of the 3rd WR and making it a flex spot


So you propose away and we can discuss things.

what does ppr add other than making more players viable? I sorta feel like if we do the flex we'd prob need that ppr b/c a 12 p league with a 6 person bench...RBs might be scarce? Or should we make the bench smaller as well?

I like kickers, I understand that they are swingy but so are most everything else. Another thing we could do is earse the distance modifiers and make all fgs just 3 pts.

Another idea that I like (which means no one else likes it) is to either keep the 3 wrs and add a WR/TE slot or just have the 2 WRs and a WR/TE slot to kinda mimic the 3/4 WR or 2 TE sets which are pretty common. Or maybe even 2 wr, a wr/te slot, and a dlex so on any given week you could start up to four wrs or 3 tes or 3 rbs

im of the "if it ain't broken don't fix it" crowd. I feel like FF is fine without PPR and PPR is used to mostly to pad stats and make more players viable. I guess one could argue that it reduces swing a bit since heavily used players will mostly always have a good stat line and they won't get like overshadowed by that 3rd/4th WR that catches a long bomb for a TD and gets 13 points while your 2nd round pick receiver has like a 6/60/0 line.

PPR is prob very useful/needed in DEEP leagues. like 12+ We are always going to do a max of 12.


Ultimately I just want to play FF and I rather have a league where I'm maybe a little unhappy than have an empty league or a league full of unhappy folks.

Week 4 has come and gone and all it took was an owner change and Cam Newton to get COVID for the newly named Injured Reserve to notch their first win of the season by beating the Bellhops by 20+ points. Pokers Ace's, the #1 team in the league, beat the fore mentioned fellow MS South member Pabs Blue Ribbon, knocking him down to 1-3 as The Fishes continued their dominance of the south by beating Always Thuney to capture the lead.

Turning now to the MS north Joe's marvelous teams continues to underperform as they lose to Bones Broken Boner's, who have learned how to pick up a defense. In what was the closest game of the week Get Reckt squeak by the Magic Bears.

ehhhh....

I agree that we aren't very likely to need 10 IR slots but we can only change it once so I felt like "just do the max" b/c I mean if a player is out for the season it doesn't affect anything and if they are going to return in X amount of time you still have to edit your roster and take that IR player off of IR. I think next year that KMD and I or whomever commishes will move it to a more reasonable-sounding four or something but I don't think the # of IR slots is going to have much of any impact

If you think I'm making light of Daks injury then you are 100% wrong. I mean, fish asked how do we fix Dak. The obvious answer is just surgery and rest. If you don't see my "use duct tape!" as the obvious joke it was then...

If flameaxe can call me a cunt then I'm well within my rights to call him immature for rage quitting and then trying to cause harm to the league. I know that might be "controversial" since he apparently told Reck that he dropped his roster to be "helpful" but let me explain.

To begin with, dropping his roster just gives out a bunch of free wins and that alone affects the league in a negative way. And giving away a bunch of decent players also does that. The argument is that the two counterbalance but I don't really think that's true. If either New York team or Washington or fuck maybe even Dallas decided to rage quit the NFL and dump their roster in the middle of the season would it be ok? If not why is it ok for BBM to do so? but ok, even if we give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he actually believed that he was helping by doling out free wins and letting his roster be cannibalized. The fact that he picked up a bunch of defenses shows that that was not his true intent. What rostering a ton of defenses does is prevent teams from streaming. Also, it's just causing unnecessary drama. He is 100% in the wrong here and I'm not going to apologize for my harsh criticism of his actions. That said, I am not without empathy and I fully understand that one can do dumb things in the heat of the moment and maybe that's all it was. I mean maybe he's a cool guy and that's why you guys like him and are defending him but my first impression of him is pretty negative.
In post 367, PokerFace wrote:Your comment on the way's new use of the team to get a win after flame left was an indirect jab at flameaxe after he was already gone
Wasn't my intention but ok I can see that. It was more matter of factly they got a new owner that did change the QB and got a win.
In post 367, PokerFace wrote:Liking that priority system doesn't make you a 14 year old or immature.
those were not my words and it's a literal quote from someone else's website that I found humorous. If you want to make the argument that thats what I believe b/c I found it funny then ok. It's not but ok.

I think the goal is to have 12/12 leagues but clearly, this didn't happen this year. I think I like the simplicity of 4 in the playoffs and the extra week could change the fates of some times but you could certainly argue that 6 in the playoffs is maybe a little fairer but like I said with the 4 go to the playoffs you get that extra week so it's kinda like the wild card without the top 2 teams getting a bye.

I kind of agree with you that 6/10 going to the playoffs is eh but I don't feel like it's all that different than a 4 team playoff with 2 teams getting eliminated in weeks 14 non-playoff games.

I don't think there's a right or wrong answer here.

Like, maybe I should have just started Cooper anyway but I was worried about him playing a tough pass D and he hasn't exactly been on fire this season. I am PROB sitting Henry this week in favor of Jones b/c Jones is used more in the pass game and I could easily envision a scenario where da bears just get shut out and green bay just runs it until time expires.

L2 playoff picture is pretty intense. Myself and Poker are guaranteed slots while Aronis and Pabs are eliminated. that leaves the last 6 slots all fighting for the last 4 playoff slots. If projections hold all off

Rek
T-bone
Caboose
BEF
kila

will be 6-6 while Pooky will be 5-7

The winner of Rekt-Fishes will go to the playoffs. If I and Poker get wins next week and IR gets a win and Bear gets a win then there will be 5 teams @ 6-7 and then it's up to the tie breaker.

i mean, we don't do anything. yahoo is handling it. I haven't looked yet to see what they are doing yet. I'd assume it just counts as a week 12 game though.

The Ravens/Steelers game has been moved to Wednesday, December 2 (remaining in Week 12). If played, stats will be applied to Week 12 matchups. However, the game may not count towards Week 12 if it is canceled or postponed to another date.
So basically it's still a week 12 game but if it's canceled again then it won't count for week 12.

RE tie breaker: I am given a choice between "higher seed wins" and "best regular season record vs opponent" but the fist seems like a much more fair option. The later is prob more "nfl like" thoughWe should maybe put it to a vote unless everyone already likes "higher seed wins"

I mean, I'm just lulzly trash talking him and it's not meant to be vindictive. I think Joe is guaranteed a playoff spot b/c even if I, Rob, Bone, and Bears win he'd still get that 4th spot b/c he'd have more points than Reckt/Fish and Bears.

I think the right thing to do is to just play your game and try to beat Rob even though a win/loss won't affect you.

if you had a 1-1 record against that person then its prob decided by who scored the most points in the 2 games. So yeah, "higher seed wins" is prob better but "best regular season record vs opponent" might be a better decided in a league that players everyone an odd # of times.

still p sure you are going to the playoffs though. I think the way yahoo has it designed is that the top 3 from each division make it and since all the division games are done nothing will change.

it prob is just top 6 and the way it worked out is top 3 in each division. If some ppl don't win tomorrow and Bears win he could end up leapfrogging since he's 4th in scoring

current yahoo projections

have

joe 7-6
reck-7-6
fish 6-7
bellhops 6-7
bone 6-7
bears 5-8

but Bears is also starting an inactive Will Fuller so if he changed that the projections would have him beating Pabs this week. If he did beat Pab and Fish and Bellhop and Bone all lose then he's gonna be in the playoffs.

The Bellhops really really need to win this week and his game with Poker is close AF. Yahoo has projections at 104.82-104.59

my Monday and Tuesday games are both very tough and I could see both Dallas and football team getting blown out. That might mean a positive game script for WRs but if that could also means that the pass game isn't working b/c they are getting blown out! :/ Hopefully Mahomes keeps passing it to Kelce and not Hill and the Broncos score a few more times. This game is about bragging rights.

If I beat Joe and Poker beats Rob that means Bone and Reck (since they are both winning) will be 3rd and 4th seeds and Rob and Joe will be 5th and 6th seeds @ 6-7.

I think you are wrong.

Nero
Poker
Reck
Bone
Joe
Rob

^
should be the standings after this week if we, bone and Reck win.

Reck and Bone would face each other and Joe and Rob would face each other.

You'd get the winner of Reck/Bone and I'd get the winner of Joe/Rob. Assuming Reck and Joe win I'd go on to face Joe and you'd face Reck.

IF
I lost this week then

Nero
Poker
Joe
Reck
Bone
Rob

Joe would face Reck and Bone would face Rob and you'd get the winner of Joe/Reck and I'd get the winner of Bone/Rob.

You can turn on reseeding and I did b/c isn't that what we are supposed to do? I think you are right afterall.

Reck would play Rob

and Joe would play Bone.

Both teams are a little scary but Joe's prob has more upside. It might benefit me more to face Rob as opposed to Joe but I don't care to do whats self serving and only care about what's fair or benefits the league.

sounds like L1 is just competitive unless you are saying that everything is so close b/c no teams are all that good.

my game with reck is close. I mean, projection have me winning by 20 but rn we are only separated by 3 pts. Hopefully not but it seems plently possible that 1 of his players could go off. If I do win I don't really like my chances against Poker but I'll be back in L1 and that was my goal this year.

I mostly agree since the South had 3 teams with <1,200 pts but I will argue that Rob was 4th in scoring and it makes it seem like North and South were just as top heavy as each other but the North wins out thanks to Reck and Bears

I feel like since L2 was only ten that only the top 3 should move up meaning the bottom 3 in L1 move down.

my thinking is that a 10p league is easier than a 12p league and since L2 was easier this year it shouldn't get the 4 it normally does.

If L2 ever got to be like an 8 player league are we really going to be like "yeah, let's promote half the league!" if we wanna say that this year we'll just stick with the 4 up/4 down then fine but I'm just trying to look @ it from a fairness perspective and I still think that a 12p league is "harder" than a 10p. Moving forward I think something like @ number based relegation /promotion system makes sense so like

if l2 is 8=then 2 move up
if l2 is 10=then 3 move up
if l2 is 12=then 4 move up

Why are the old scum league threads locked?

anyways

In 2019 when leagues were 12/12 we promoted 4 from L2

viewtopic.php?p=11192997#p11192997

In 2018 when L1 was 12 and L2 was 10 (and L3 was 10) we only promoted 3 from L2 and 0 from L3

no one ever said 4 will move up so it's not changing anything. I think it has to be 3 like we did in 2018. So me, you and Reck move up with Joe getting priority in case someone flakes but hopefully everyone comes back.

I mean, traditionally it has always been 3 from L2 and 1 from L3. Citing recent examples isn't even a loophole....like the last time L2 was 10 players Mith's plan was to promote 3.

The only thing I want is to play and I don't really care who moves up or down and I think it's ridiculous you think I have some ulterior motive when I don't. I mean, someone has to make a decision though. I'm just saying that I think 3 is a fair number and it follows Miths previous thoughts when L2 was 10. We moved up 4 when both L1 and L2 were L2.

Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

i've never done anything to harm the league. In 2018 only 3 moved down. I'm saying that we shouldn't change from that.

In post 753, Nero Cain wrote:if we wanna say that this year we'll just stick with the 4 up/4 down then fine
which means that you are lying about me being so adamant about it being specifically 3 although I think 3 seems fair and its what we did b4 when L2 was 10.

L2 was
NOT
10 players in 2019. Was L2 10 players in 2017? I'm citing 2018 b/c L2
WAS
10 players.

Also lol if you think adding IR slots during a fucking pandemic has much impact at all. We could only change it
ONCE
also L1 did so as well but you are being biased so meh
