Usually I'd have a smart arse answer as to why you're not ****ed... but you actually genuinely are this week with so many on bye and injured.

That being said, Arakaan is starting Flacco/Mariota/Jones so he's not exactly rolling in luck right now.

ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN!

 

[manureid]

Probably should have played Chase Brown (thought Jets was not a good matchup) ahead of stupid arse Andy Dalton

Only got 1 decision wrong bench wise trying to grab FAs for this week that are all 3rd stringers at best.

Starting QB in Huntley for free helped and couldn’t believe he was available for free when i was scrounging everywhere to have offensive starters!

Mariota throwing 5 picks tomorrow would be nice.

My 3 starting QBs went for a total of 15.7 points. Useless.

 

[manureid]

Still have some interest in upgrading at RB or WR if anyone feels like it is close to time to start looking at next season. Picks/players on the table of course.

Manureid what are you offering

Week 8

	Beads Army (2-6)	163.0	Manureids ADP Redeemers (6-2)	130.9
	Offense		Defense
3	Justin Herbert (BEA)	32.0	Chris Boswell (BEA)	20.0
2	Jaxson Dart (BEA)	22.7	Dee Winters (BEA)	9.0
1	Kimani Vidal (MAD)	20.7	Tatum Bethune (MAD)	9.0
			Tykee Smith (BEA)	9.0
			Jake Elliott (MAD)	9.0

Manu was riding a tidal wave of momentum, but that wave has now monumentally dumped him... absolutely no love from his QBS, only scoring a combined 15.7pts., and only three players total getting out of single digits. Beads didn't fare a whole lot better, but had more than enough go right to secure his second victory of the season.

	Arakaans Assassins (3-5)	207.9	Chisms Chasers (3-5)	178.8
	Offense		Defense
3	Jordan Love (CHC)	38.2	Kaden Elliss (CHC)	15.5
2	Joe Flacco (ARA)	31.3	Jonathon Greenard (ARA)	14.5
1	Rashee Rice (ARA)	24.5	Marcus Jones (ARA)	12.3

Chasers had a bit of a 'mare, and had numerous starters on bye, but 7 double-digit scores will never cut it. Assassins are 2025's Jeckyll and Hyde team, this week breaking a 5-game losing streak. Had plenty in the tank also, with a bunch of bench players doing well. Both these teams still hanging in there, but everything from here has to go right.

	Hedeby Berserkers (5-3)	171.6	BETA Warriors (4-4)	125.4
	Offense		Defense
3	Breece Hall (BW)	35.8	Chase McLaughlin (HED)	17.0
2	Travis Kelce (HED)	22.4	Zach Baun (HED)	13.5
1	Ladd McConkey (BW)	21.8	Antoine Winfield (BW)	13.0

Unexpected cripple fight #2, as the bye week caused havoc with these two lineups also. Warriors lack of depth exposed in this one, zeroes all over the park. Berserkers last three weeks a bit of an oddity, won two games while scoring 171pys or less, but lost the one they scored 220+ in. Six scores below 5 not great, but 5/7 defenders hit double digits secured the win.

	Pandas Broncos (7-1)	229.7	Pistols Dolphins (3-5)	158.1
	Offense		Defense
3	Bo Nix (PAN)	32.6	Riley Moss (PAN)	16.5
2	Drake Maye (PAN)	32.0	Bobby Wagner (PAN)	14.5
1	CJ Stroud (PAN)	28.6	Andy Borregales (PID)	13.0

Panda continues on his winning ways, this game marking the record-equalling 15th straight game of 200+ points, only done once previously during the 2019 and 2020 season by Arakaan. Life's good when you're QBs combine for 93pts. Dolphins one of big pack of teams that can contend just as easily as take the #1 overall pick.

	Purple Vandals (4-4)	252.1	Galactic Gobsmackers (3-5)	134.7
	Offense		Defense
3	Jonathon Taylor (VAN)	40.4	Myles Garrett (VAN)	23.0
2	Saquon Barkley (VAN)	36.4	Zyon McCollum (VAN)	10.0
1	Jalen Hurts (GOB)	35.7	Daron Bland (VAN)	9.5

Vandals hit back after a couple of down weeks to thump Galactic by over 100pts. Jonathon Taylor in career-best form, and leading the Vandals offense each week. Three top-tier WRs on bye not a recipe for success, Galactic missing projected by over 40pts.

	TCols Stars (5-3)	267.0	Fueys Haze (3-5)	237.5
	Offense		Defense
3	James Cook (FHZ)	36.6	Demorio Davis (TCS)	18.0
2	Tua Tagavailoa (TCS)	35.2	Jordyn Brooks (TCS)	17.5
1	Tucker Kraft (FHZ)	34.3	Kamari Lassiter (TCS)	14.5

The league's biggest rivalry reached its 40th installment (24-15-1 Stars way, most games by any two competitors in league history), and gives us another classic. Both teams had 4x 20pt+ players, 8/9 Haze offensive players hit double digits, but the difference yet again is defense. 5/7 Star defenders got 10+, where the Haze did not have any.

I thought it was mid November, but I just checked and it saysno deadline...

I really don't remember changing that, tbh...

 

[fuey]

Don't have time to do write ups this week, nothing special happened except for Pandas record breaking 16th-straight 200+ point game, but **** that guy. There's a bit of a race to be the first team to 50,000 regular season points, but I'll hopefully have time this week...

Lol this game.

Lose by 4pts and cop a combined 11pts from 2 QBs in Love and Young with Bowers also added.

You cannot make this shit up. Total spuds.

You should probably trade Achane to me then. Rebuild time

I would not trade Achane for 3 future 1sts from a current wooden spoon team.

Full disclosure, I adjusted the scoring in your (and one other) game (which can also be seen on the league page), but your result was affected.

Brian Thomas Jr and DeForest Buckner were DNPs all week, and both confirmed OUT on Saturday. I don't think it was blatant by Galactic, but to use AFL terminology, I felt it was an insufficient attempt at a team.

Matthew Golden also logged two DNPs, and was a likely out. Its probably a bit harsh, given it was a MNF game, but it hasn't changed the result.

So reminder to everyone, please keep active and on top of your team, and set your best lineup at all times, as I am keeping a close eye on this, especially coming toward the end of season. ANY player that has a 0.0 projected in your starting lineup will be looked at, pretty much saying they're NOT a game-time decision.

Ok your GM moves removing non playing players cost me a win and i understand the reasoning behind it.

But you need do this across the board for every team from here on in to create transparency as you cant just pick my match up! I lost by 5pts and he had 2 non scoring players that were replaced with bench players that did score.

I am not pissed off or anything but the same needs to done for the whole league moving forward unless it is a game time out decision. My win predictor was 94% before Monday night football when i looked Monday night with only the Packers and Eagles to play, and i was like 25pts ahead and then Tuesday morning when i woke up for work it was 50/50 and nearly dead level with the Hurts Vs Love matchup to decide it and i lost even though both scored low.

Also a pre season comment saying you would be doing this would also of been helpful as i feel dudded now. How many other close games all season so far have been adjusted like this or not at all???

Go back and see who won a real close matchup sine Week 1 and if the team they were playing started a non playing player! Or is it only when i play em?

This opens a massive can of worms but i see the logic behind it but not the consistency or transparency thats all.

Maybe next time have a look Sunday night and post here who are starting IR or doubtful players etc and keep it above board with tags to the ghost GMs etc then we all know.

 

[Chism]

If your roster moves to teams without the teams owner knowing it needs to be applied from Week 1 not a cherry picked matchup that decided the outcome that we are only aware of now regarding what you are doing and micro managing other peoples teams affecting results.

Especially after the players on the bench have played and you can see what they scored etc. Who is to say Galactic would of started that same bench player?? He could of chosen another defender that maybe only had 1 tackle all game and scored .5 of a point etc. You cherry picking bench players after they have played is crap thinking about it more now as you can see the what they scored.

If this continues you need to replace players BEFORE they play not after. You cannot alter another guys team and say * oh look Galactic started 2 guys that didnt play * and then have the advantage of adding guys from his bench after you can see what they have scored. He could of had 2 playing defenders to replace the out and you get to choose who to replace them with after they have played and knowing what they have scored.

What a cluster ****.

 

[manureid]

How is it decided which players are swapped in if you have multiple at that position? The one that scores the highest? Because that may not have been who the owner may have picked.

 

[Chism]

Just doesnt pass the pub test thats all.

Exactly.

 

[manureid]

Actually, would love it if some one replaced by shitty low scoring players with better scoring bench players after the games finish!!

I am being facetious of course....

But....
