Yeah I even snapped Conner 1st week itself. But, I need to shift the blame :D

Would probably have picked Johnson if not Bell though and even he had an underwhelming first half of the season.
Yeah, I took Johnson second instead of Bell and he's not been as good as expected. Seemed to catch fire last week though, hopefully the change in OC at Arizona means he'll go back to being unstoppable.

Yeah the coaching was the biggest issue as even Fitzgerald has been poor. After the coaching change, both have posted much better numbers.

Need Glory and Alto to finish in the top 5 (probably but not impossible they dont) for me to have a good chance of making playoffs.
Confident I'll have enough points in the end to overtake whoever is in 6th between RobinLFC, roland or backofthenet, though itll be tight.

Jeffery turning into trash doesnt help my cause though. Also with Hill being on bye next week.... meh. Still think I'll have more points over whoever finishes 6th, 80 points is a decent amount to make up over 2 games...

Very true... I probably need two wins and to hope I make the top four. Unlikely to get enough points now.

Didnt think I had a chance but Tyreek putting up almost 40 gives me hope :lol: If zuerlein didnt miss the extra point I'd be ahead of Alto even. Huge comeback... love me some Tyreek

Down almost 40 points with Tyreek and Zuerlein with his Gurley and I somehow win :lol: Nobody explodes like Hill. Get the feck in. Funny thing is that this win might actually hurt my chances to make the playoffs if it makes Alto finish 6th.

I'd be 9-2 if it wasn't for that dodgy week 1.....where I forgot to edit lineups! How do the playoffs work again?

Wentz shit the bed with 0.8 points. How? That's me out of the playoff hunt.

Money league is properly hotting up with 2 games left to play. Eboue won this week against the number one which means the top four are all on 8-3 with 2 games to play. Top 2 get a bye and are guaranteed money. Could be a decider in the final game when I meet Zen for who get's a bye if we both win this weekend.

I think it’s win and in for me this week against @Rolandofgilead, but losing would mean I’m quite certain to miss the POs.

I really like my team and their matchup this week so I’m definitely losing by a landslide.

I've managed to climb my way into a wild card spot. Hopefully Cooper and Bears D help me down the stretch!

Non-Caf league: will Gordon play and in limited fashion if so? I’ve got Ekeler on my bench, don’t know whether to start him or not.

I hate late kick-off injury doubts.

I really should have played Mayfield instead of Dalton and put Njoku in the squad :houllier:

When you have 3 stud running backs who get 2td's each and over 20 points every game :drool:

Edit: I like how after this happened I then had Melvin Gordon get injured and Fournette get ejected... both could now possibly miss next week, the crucial last week. Feck me

So for the September league looking like it'll end like this before the last week (tomorrow still to play, but counting likely projections):
  1. Scholze 10-2
  2. Hephaestus 9-3
  3. Glory 7-5
  4. RobinLFC 7-5
  5. Altodevil 6-6
  6. Bosnian_red 6-6
  7. Backofthenet 6-6
Backofthenet playing Altodevil in the last week. Altodevil and I both have a sizable points gap over backofthenet, so backofthenet needs a win with me losing to Scholze, and then the last playoff spot comes down to points between me and Alto (which is currently tight). If Alto wins, then me and alto go through regardless of my result.

The August league looking like it'll end like this before the last week (tomorrow still to play, but counting likely projections):
  1. Kazi 8-4
  2. Boulevard Bombers 8-4
  3. Hunter 8-4
  4. Carolina Red 7-5
  5. Synthetic Kumquats 6-6
  6. Freeurmind 6-6
  7. Cookiemonster 6-6

@Eboue and @Carolina Red both losing this week opens things up nicely.

Team hunter is on a 7 game winning streak. :cool:

Yup, not feeling confident either, and have already taken one beating from Alto this season. Been a hell of a lot better than last year however, (1-12!) so not complaining.

Rado could also go 6-6 if Watson explodes tonight, but I doubt it.

I'd like to avoid youself and Glory/Eboue in the first round of the playoffs, but I'm just happy I'm in them to begin with.

I'll try and do you a favour. We've been shafted by our schedules this year.

Think Rado is too far back on total points, one of Alto/backofthenet is going to finish on 7-6 which leaves the 6th spot to total points scored even if he wins both.

Looking likely that Glory will finish 3rd and you'll be 4th, so could be me vs Glory and you vs Alto.

I might be fecked with the Gordon news though. MCL sprain. Managed to pick up DJ Moore before this week so at least I have a good replacement in my flex, even if I was hoping he'd replace Jeffery from the starters.
