Haha yea it's mostly luck but there is a sliver of skill involved too
I think the only real "luck" is in scheduling. And perhaps injuries. But even injuries (1 or 2) can be overcome with "skill". You have proven that over the past few years.

Whenever you have head to head matchups there is going to be a ton of luck. The best decider of who the best team is is total points scored. Obviously injuries will be a huge factor in this as well just like in real life. But typically the teams with the best overall rosters are at the top in points scored.

He really didnt overcome anything because of skill and he would be the first to admit that. I am in Steve's camp when it comes to it luck. And this comes from someone who has been very successful in fantasy sports.

I should clarify. Head to Head leagues is what I consider luck. I am in a ROTO league for baseball, and that absolutely takes a ton of skill. But head to head, its all about matchups, who meets expectations in any given week, who stays healthy for any given matchup, etc.
And yes, one year in the league, one championship!!!

When Ronald Jones is the first RB you pick, I'm not sure you can moan about luck!

Yea, Kirk was supposed to fill in on Brees Bye week versus a nice cushy ATL defense. Had to pick up Dalton to not have to sweat bullets. Also had to drop my Younghoe

You completely missed the entire point of my post, but that's ok.

Originally posted by Tman:Dont mind spending money on a defense. I still have $70 remaining which is 2nd most in the league. Now I can simply play the best matchup between New England and the Rams. I like it better than spending $41 on a guy who will be a backup rb soon and part of a 3 way timeshare.
