0.2 behind. Harris just needs to fart at the QB FTW.

Or he will not get it, but then get an adjustment tomorrow to win.

 

[dspeed]

And it's done, win and in next week

 

[manureid]

So without me needing to work it out, even if I win next week and go to 10-4 I cannot make the playoffs?

No, will look more closely but if I lose and NDG loses you would be in, if DRD loses and NDG loses you you would be in, possibly other options too

 

[dspeed]

Would be surprised if a 10-4 team has missed out before

You wont lose to Woodson and Bortles has the Donkeys...no chance of either of you losing. I also have TGBB, so will be tough for me to win anyway. Still...10-4 and miss out would be a fair effort.

Anything can happen, look at Fitzpatrick getting 56 this week, only needs one or two outrageous scores and it can turn a matchup, one off fantasy match ups are effected significantly by luck

East

Cass 7-6 (winner of week 14 clash takes division)
Zarko 7-6 (winner of week 14 clash takes division)
GG 3-10
Wizard 2-11

West

TGBB 12-1
NDG 9-4 (holds tiebreaker over Manureid and DRD, loses to Dspeed)
Manureid 9-4 (holds tiebreaker over DRD, loses to NDG and Dspeed)
PB 2-11

Central

DRD 9-4 (holds tiebreaker over Dspeed, loses to NDG and Manureid)
Dspeed 9-4 (holds tiebreaker over NDG and Manureid, loses to DRD)
Balmain 5-8
Woodson 4-9

If standings and current form hold, likely to be TGBB v Dspeed and DRD v Zarko in the first week of playoffs

I do think some consideration to tiebreakers in the offseason is required, a total points for or H2H over course of the season instead of H2H in one game is a better representation of a teams performance. One week can be an outlier

 

[dspeed]

The tiebreakers also make it interesting, DRD loses both tiebreakers to NDG and Manu, but because he holds the tiebreaker over me, puts me into the wildcard race where I hold the tiebreaker over those two

I absolutely agree with this.

I think the H2H should be pushed down the list for tie-breakers in future seasons for playoffs, draft order etc.

Total points is a far better way to do it IMO. As we know FF is very fickle and the highest scoring team doesn't always succeed, but i think it should be an advantage when tie-breakers come into it.

 

[manureid]

Losing to David Harris means missing playoffs. Picked a good time to get his best score of the season the prick.

Here's what ESPN says about playoff seedings.....

Note: We use the H2H TieBreaker Option below....

Playoff Seeding Tie Breaker
Select a tie breaker to use in the case that two or more teams have the same overall record at the end of the regular season. Note that wherever 'Total Points Against' is indicated as a tiebreaker, the team with more points against is considered superior.

If Head-to-Head Record is selected, Total Points For, Intra Division Record (if your league has multiple divisions), and Total Points Against will be used as further tie breakers (in that order).

If Total Points For is selected, H2H Record, Intra Division Record (if your league has multiple divisions), and Total Points Against will be used as further tie breakers (in that order).

If Intra Division Record is selected, H2H Record, Total Points For, and Total Points Against will be used as further tie breakers (in that order).

If Total Points Against is selected, H2H Record, Total Points For, and Intra Division Record (if your league has multiple divisions) will be used as further tie breakers (in that order).

In all cases, a coin flip will resolve any teams that are tied after all other tiebreakers are used. Note that the League Manager can override any automatically generated playoff matchups, if desired, using LM Tools.

Problem with the h2h tie break is that for non-div rivals meeting once you may have just been unlucky that week with the byes. Have brought this up before. It should be h2h over every week I.e compare two teams h2h each week.

This. Can easily be done manually.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Easily, no. Can, yes. But anything manual means over working the Commissioner. I have many important PR meetings with team owners, media engagements, etc, let alone all the organizing of drafts, tracking trades, etc etc....for multiple leagues and AE.

 

[dspeed]

Easily, yes.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Easily, yes.

You'd meltdown and go into convulsions if you lived a week in my fantasy gm and ae roles. You should show more respect and reverence towards me, and ask nicely, and then MAYBE I will comply. I have feelings too. I'm like a big woman who needs to be told she's loved and that she has a nice ass before I put out.

 

[Exe Gesis]

I think when it comes to breaking a tie across the divisions, h2h must result in one team sweeping all the others, if no team has swept the others they're tied with, then it goes to Points For.

 

[dspeed]

This Bell and Hilton trade is the gift that keeps on giving

 

[Wizard]

Draft Order at the top end looks set.

1. Denver Donkeys
2. The Warriors
3. The Warriors (via Mojave Riders)
4. Woodsons Mustangs
5. Honey Badgers
6. Mojave Riders (via Cassius Flashers)

Who cares about the bottom of the standings given how tight the top end is!

The above mentioned probably don't give a s**t about how tight it is up the top........

I must say, I've never seen someone so preoccupied with draft picks in this sort of league so early and consistently throughout a season
