MLS Fantasy Soccer

Well, just realized I'm screwed this week. To many players on a bye week so I'm gonna have to make more then 2 transfers and get deducted points.

 

It's a great week to use your wild card.

 

I saved it since I was only one transfer over. I can deal with just a 4 point deduction.

Six players on a callup this week for my team, but thankfully I was able to make enough changes that it won't be such a detriment.

 

Had a turrible week. Fell a bunch of spots.

 

i'm all late to this league cause i didnt know about it

my team = osmutantes

 

Had a great week and jumped to the top of most leagues (or at least made huge strides).

73pts

Lets see if I can do it two weeks in a row....though now I have a problem with DC and Columbus off...hhmmm....and Fabian and Will haven't been getting me the points I'd hope for so I've got some tough questions up top. My defense is killing it every week but I suck at figuring out who will score goals.

 

I'm on a downhill slide. My most points was the first week. I'm going all-in this week.

 

45 points for the third week in a row, and I'm falling behind. I think now would be a good use of the wildcard for me.

 

52 (-8) this week for a total of 44. 44 was the weeks total average. Red arrows all around. I assume it's because a lot of people burnt a wildcard while I took the hit. I'm sure it'll pay off down the line around weeks when 8+ teams have off. I'm going with the "marathon, not a sprint" mentality. Dropped from ~1,300 to ~2,100.

In the ESPN league I'm in 44th place overall. Would love to finish 1st place for a $2,000 Best Buy giftcard.

 

I struggled with the decision to play the wild card and decided to play it last week.
Had I not, there would have only been 7 players on my team, that I could have used (+ the two transfer and or purchase possibilities).

I have played fantasy sports, with a wild card pick in the past, although this is my first MLS fantasy team. It has been my experience that the wild card is better utilized early, rather than late and certainly I can get the case for saving it.

I moved up to 356 overall, and was at 280 before the Chivas USA/Fire match. After the first week, I believe my team was around 2600. If my first weeks selections had been better, I might be in the top 100, now.

I am quite happy with my new players heading forward, my team is better balanced, offering more options. Next week I am going to have to adjust as I have three Galaxy players and one Montreal, they have byes. I probably will get rid of McGee, if LD appears ready to go.

Having played the wild card, I am going to have to stay ahead of things, rather than think of just the upcoming week.

I have enjoyed the competition so far.

 

So, where is everyone through Week 4? I'm at 226 points with an overall rank of 2,280 which is 70 places higher than last week, so at least I'm moving in the right direction. But, my team value is now $101.5, which gives me some breathing room.

 

just made my trades for week 5
week 4 couldve been a disaster cause i forgot to trade some of the guys on NT duty and bye-week

auto-trades saved me and so i still got decent pts which brings my total to 243

hadnt actually looked at my overall (cause i'm focused on leagues)
but i'm at 740


team value = 100.6M
bank = 1.6M

and my wildcard's already played

 

Interestingly, I've gained 2 points after they checked the stats. So, I moved up to 228 total points with a rank of 2,079, which is 271 spots better than the week before. Also gained $.4 in TV, so I'm at $101.9 for the total. At least I'm moving in the right direction.

 

So, is this one of the bigger leagues (most number of teams) in MLSF?

 

In the head-to-head league somebody (I forget who) started earlier in this thread, I'm 6 and 3 but have the most points of anybody. I've lost the 3 head-to-head games by a TOTAL of 3 points!!!! one point each!!!

Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

 

Had a great week and managed to get 103 points. Levittown Tigers moved up to 37th in the classic league and finally cracked the top 5 in the h2h league.
