Wish they could figure out how to make the match play work for Fantrax.

One of my favorite tournaments to watch.

Made the wife watch the Seve movie with me last night. First off she’s obsessed with the man. Second off she asked why are all these people so boring now a days.

Seve was like a bull fighter in Match Play.

We need someone with some imagination, flare and creativity to show up and get us out of the current state of boring.

All I see out there are billboards. Show me some flare!

Week7.jpg

Week 7 is in the books.  Looks like the snake pit bit our players as the points across the board were down.  For the weekly update, I added a column, modified one, and rechecked my math in some others.  Here's the summary for week 7:

  • This week, @TSauer took home the prize as the highest point total of the week coming in with 172.  The first time this season the top score was below the 200 mark
  • @Camcmart was on the losing end of the slimmest margin this week to @yungkory but there were tight match ups across the entire league.  8 games were decided by 10 points or less.  Wowza!
  • @GolfSpy MPR steadied his way into the low winner of the week whereas yours truly took the bad beat for the second straight week.  Woe is me!
  • New category!  @HardcoreLooper had the good sense to start Casey whereas @cnosil left him AND Glover on the bench 😿.  Be sure to check back to the rest of the geniuses and shaming history.  Much more winners on the bench than I expected.  I'm also surprised that no Free Agents have won either.
  • The blind squirrel found a nut as you guys in Truth finally outscored Digest to break a 5-week winning streak.  Nice job guys 👏        👏          👏          👏     (slow clap)

 

Here we go to week 8 and the Corales Puntacana.  Before the question comes up, NO Fantrax does not have support for Match Play.  I asked about this last year and they said they'd look into it.  Let's enjoy a random week in an opposite field event.  Should be some interesting ownership decision making....hit the waiver wire to ensure a full roster or roll the dice with a slim team???

 

 

Edit: Another interesting observation is that none of the top points-getters had the winner of the event.  Definitely something to be said for fielding a FULL quality lineup.

Will make for an interesting week. I have one player as well. The question for managers will be are you going to build a team to maybe get a win or are you going to potentially throw away this week? It is what makes the game interesting and really determines who is the best season long manager.

I've got two playing, and just can't decide whether I'm going to try to pick up one or two, or ride it out.  As much as I've complained about Alex Noren, I can't seem to let him go........should be easy, shouldn't it?

I always try to remember that I'm not good enough to get mad!

Interesting how different strategies come into play.  I've managed to go 12-4 and have made at least one roster move every single week.  My bottom 5 on the roster are completely different than the bottom 5 I started with.

I generally make a ton of moves but I somewhat like my roster compared to what's available. I only have 3 players that I started out with. The rest are all from waivers. Although I guess that's not surprising since my team what autodrafted after the Rory pick. 

It tells you how many transactions everyone's made somewhere. I just can't seem to find it atm.

 

Edit: I've made 8 moves and you've made 11. I've probably made 6-8 others that were denied through priority as well. Bucky has the most with 18.

I just got a chance to look at it (on my mobile) and saw the number of moves you've made.  I hadn't really paid that much attention to what everyone did with their rosters, but it's nice to see I'm not the only one shuffling more than a blackjack dealer.

I always make a bunch but I've gotten beat to the punch a lot of times this year. Plus I missed out on a couple during the waiver wire mishap earlier in the season.
Normally I'd make changes this week but it's an opposite field event and I don't think anyone I pick up will positively affect my roster in the long run.

Going to be a rough week... Only have two in the field but can't give up anyone for some random on waivers. Guess it's onto next week! 

Really looking forward to a late season push!

Finally dropped the Barn Rat this week, between him and Hatton I've got two guys who'll win or flame out. Trying to get that to one. Allowed me to nab Paul Dunne, who may be the best player in the field this week and give me a full lineup. We shall see.

...that fact that they couldn't figure out how to make the season work with match play is mind boggling... it's almost like you are grabbing web.com guys just to get some sort of points.  stupid; I won't be starting a full lineup cause I'm not going to drop some of my key guys just for a single week in which the platform can't get their stuff together.

I wish my roster was good enough that I couldn't drop anyone.  I basically have 6 guys that I'm not willing to part with.  The last 4 spots are a revolving door and I look at those spots as a complete crap shoot .

I always try to remember that I'm not good enough to get mad!

This is my issue as well. I'll go 0-2 this week because both my opponents fielded full teams and I've only got 2 going. My only shot is if they both top 5.
