ok, you passed me. One of my people were injured... the other played like hell.

[Sazar]

I haven't made any changes in a couple of days and am not likely to so y'all should all pass me :D

[Zelda_fan]

Tonight I should jump to the top. Most of you guys are playing 1 person. I'm playing 5 ppl, including Nash, J-Rich (back from suspension), and Carmello Anthony who has been putting on a freaking clinic as of late. I bought that guy when he was mad low and he's jumped up about $15.

[methimpikehoses]

Tonight I should jump to the top.

You must be smoking crack. :lol:

[Tygerwoody]

I'm not going to the top tonight. I just made some changes in my roster so I could get Danny Granger. Went from 8 playing to now only 5.


By Wednesday I'll be making a run and noone will be able to catch up.


BTW Zelda, I picked up Richardson earlier, but I gave him away to get Danny Granger. Hope I don't regret it. Richardson is a pure scorer, so I don't think I will.

[methimpikehoses]

Seems to me that steals, assists, and blocks are disproportionately weighted in this format, at the expense of points and boards.

[methimpikehoses]

Ruh-roh, looks like I'm up by 130 points... guess you're not taking the top spot tonight, Zelda.

Maybe you'll move up to 5th? :lol:

[Zelda_fan]

Carmello is just annihilating it. Dropped over 40 tonight AGAIN. Can't believe I picked him up for $30.

Nash has a great game AGAIN. 14 assists. Unfortunately he had 7 turnovers to go with it so he only made me 27 points.

11/06 my entire roster is playing. Should really bump me up.

[methimpikehoses]

My PG Westbrook had 9TO and that didn't help much. I got Carmello for $28 too and he is a man possessed. League MVP for the first 3 games.

[Tygerwoody]

Noone playing tonight again. :(


Yea, I'm going to have to play catch-up. But when I am on top, watch out. :D

[methimpikehoses]

You guys realize there is not cap for the number of personnel moves you make... it's just like the stock market so you can buy and sell as much as you want. The only thing is you only get 82 starts at each position. Other than that, the sky is the limit.

[Tygerwoody]

well each one of my moves cost me 75 cents. When your team value is over $210, its 75 cents each transaction.

One thing you DO need to be aware of(i'm looking at you methimp), is you need to watch your pace. You don't want to use out all of your positions before the season is over with. That usually means you are wasting positions. A person could easily play every position every single day and end up very far ahead of the pack early on. However, its impossible to have a good total point score at the end of the year when you do it this way because you will be forced to use less than quality players. You have to be very selective with who you start and you should stay "with pace".

To check your pace for each position, look beside where it says "2/82" . It will have a number in parenthesis. It will say something like 5/82(+3) . This means that you are 3 games ahead of pace. You could layoff focusing on that position and work on another position and you will end your schedule early. You want to keep that pace number to be either -1, 0, or +1 . And you pretty much always want to keep them all around the same number to stay consistent.

[methimpikehoses]

Right, 82 starts per position. FYI, I'm on pace with all of my positions but 1...

And that's a good point, the more your team is worth, the more it costs to make moves. Mine are about $0.10 right now.

[Tygerwoody]

Right, 82 starts per position.

And that's a good point, the more your team is worth, the more it costs to make moves. Mine are about $0.10 right now.

It jumps to .25 after $190 and then .75 after $210. I'm just barely over $210 and let me tell you, it is a PAIN to buy and sell.

Perfect scenario.

Buy a player for $15 , 75 cent charge
Player plays, but doesn't do as good as you want so you sell him(on top of loses you will probably take) , 75 cent charge
Buy another player you think will be better, 75 cent charge

So that is $2.25 for buying and selling one player. When it use to be a grand total of $0.30(3x.010) .

Really hard to play with these charges.





And just FYI. Last year, everyone started with $300 and charges were only .10 until like $360, then they went to a whopping 0.25 .

[Tygerwoody]

I'm actually below pace. I need to play more people. I just don't have enough money for the guys I want to play. :o

[Tygerwoody]

I really need to stop trading around my players. I'm never going to get to play anyone. :(

[Tygerwoody]

methimp. Your reign will be over very soon.

[Zelda_fan]

My entire roster is playing tonight, and they're all playing cupcake teams. I should make a nice run today.

[Tygerwoody]

I only have 6 playing tonight, but a very strong 6. I also picked up Tim Duncan and Chris Bosh. Pretty soon I'll have the team I want and won't have to make so many trades.


Also, right now I'm a total of 6 games behind pace.

[methimpikehoses]

methimp. Your reign will be over very soon.

Who is going to stop me? :afro2:

[Tygerwoody]

Who is going to stop me? :afro2:

I did it before, I'll do it again. I have only played a grand total of 2 positions since I was in the lead. I am just nearing my squad to be completely dominate. I'm picking up studs at cheap prices now, so that I will catch up and never look back.

[Tygerwoody]

What does everyone's lineup look like now? Mine is:

Rajon Rondo
Joe Johnson
Steve Nash
Paul Pierce
Al Jefferson
Andre Igoudala
Chris Bosh
Al Horford
[open]


And still have $6.00 left over. :D

[Zelda_fan]

I've been thinking of selling Carmello Anthony just because I got him for $29 and he has skyrocketed to $45. But he's playing so damn good right now I kinda want to keep him lol!

Yea, I bought him for $29 too, but I sold him at $33 :(

[Tygerwoody]

traded out Al Jefferson for Troy Murphy.



Seriously. I have a problem. I need to stop trading.
