In case you want to feel really bad, Week 16 was won with 249.50 points by someone who hadn't changed their lineup since before Sandvej was cut by the Spirit.
Man, I had my highest points total for the season and only game in 530th... Guess that Week 16 was high scoring for everyone.
I had 184 points for week 16, had I captained Little and not Solo I would have had 211 surpassing my high of 199.5 in week 3. Can't complain for 166th place.
Captained Nadim this week. Maybe should have bought lottery tickets instead. If Chris from AllWhiteKit's figures are right, she was worth 59.5 points even before the double, and I've got at least 236 points for the week - a personal best by over 40 points.
Good news: Came in third for Week 18 with 239.5 points. Bad news: Week 19 is an absolute disaster. I might have just over 50 points. Thank you, Captain O'Hara.
Final season rankings are up.... I had strong relative positioning the last couple of weeks and made up for some pretty meh scores. Finished in top 10% (my goal - I don't like to put too much pressure on myself ).
I was in the top 25 overall for the first half of the season, then fell off due to some lackluster choices on my part. Ended up at 212 with 1894 points. Pleased for being a first timer.
I did better last year, but still ended up at a respectable 134. And I have to say that doing Fantasy League has really helped me with paying attention to every team other than just mine.
That is very respectable. I am at 143.... we were neck and neck most of the season. I agree this is a fun way to consider all the players and match-ups and IMHO, it would be nice if the league in some way acknowledged the work of these folks who are, I think, just a couple of fans. They add a lot of value to the league. My only other comment about FL this year, was how disturbingly easy it was to make competitive line ups using a minimal number of allocated players. This is in contrast to last year, when I was always making tough decisions that way. On the one hand, I think that is great for the league, on the other, it makes me a little anxious about WC 2015.
You make a good point about the internationals. I think most weeks I didn't even use all my allocation spots because of having so many internationals to pick from. Maybe next year they could put a cap on internationals just like they do with allocated players. A limit of 2 or 3 would be fair.
After struggling for the most part of the season to break into Top 100, I finally did it in the last couple of weeks and finished at 67
