Holy smokes. I just now looked at week 15. We play against all 3 people in our Division? Then there will be 4 people left to battle out for a single golden ticket? (I know, proverbial counting the chickens and eggs... yada yada)

So can someone explain how this works? Does it come down to your 3 game record for that week, with a points scored tie breaker if necessary?

It will be whoever scores the most points in your 4 team division final.  So if you score more than Da Bears, Manimal, and B.Boston this week you'll go 3-0 and find yourself in the finals against the winners of the other divisions.

And yes there is only 1 golden ticket.

Bucky Division I think may have already been decided by @poprocksncoke Great week to have 3 players go big! Starting my lineup down 84 points is not a confidence inspiring situation.

I realize the results are out of your hands once you set your lineup, but watching those missed field goals turn into overtime was a tough pill to swallow.

Yeah I thought I got off to a hot start with Herbert getting 28.8... Hopefully @poprocksncoke used those guys in a daily fantasy too.... could be well on his was to a big winner there!

Before we get into the big finish of the season a big thanks to all the commissioners for their efforts and work throughout the season. Another new platform with I am sure a lot of challenges in the background. Also to all those who made a effort this season thank you. This is a huge league and just awesome to take part in. I know not everyone loved the MFL site and I will say their app is less then ideal, however the site was okay. If we go back to fantrax that will be fine with me as well. Both have there good and bad points, but I may give a bit of a edge to MFL as it does offer a ton in terms of background info. Yes it takes some searching and about 10 tabs open, BUT it can help a lot of the newer ppl evaluate trades and so on. Either way I will be very happy to take part again next season!

I agree on giving MFL the edge -- I hated it at first (especially after that debacle of a draft where I couldn't change my list and got 4 QBs...), but it grew on me as I started to figure things out. The FantasySharks add-on was great - I'm a big fan of the lineup, trade, and waiver analysis (didn't always agree with it, but who would?). I still dislike the Adds/Drops page, and often found myself bouncing between multiple Fantasy websites to decide who to add/drop and who to start. 

Others commented on the mobile app, but I never used it -- I finally gave in and downloaded the Android version last week, and it looks clunky. The mobile website was sufficient for everything I needed to do, and actually fairly easy to use. For checking in on scores, I had to use Chrome's "Desktop Version" feature (Live Scoring exists in the mobile version, but hard to find a link - finding it on Desktop then turning off Desktop gets there).

Well, its fantasy football.  Have seen stranger things happen.....

I think my only REAL complaint with MFL is the inability to look at a Free Agent's projected points for the week compared to all other Free Agents, at the same time. Seems like it would be an easy column to add to the "Player Stats" screen.

Otherwise, I have got the hang of it, and generally like it.

Fingers crossed for a Sunday miracle, but I'm not overly confident. Gibson is it which hurts, he's been awesome this year and my favorite surprise player. In goes edwards and have to hope Dobbins fumbles a few. Either way the winner of bucky I do think will win it all!

Scores not updating for anyone else?

 

Edit: Literally just updated 4 minutes of gameplay the second I hit "POST"

[KurtActual 380]

I’m guessing the points left on my bench will cost me this week.

That moment when you add Tony Pollard prior to kickoff and you don't save your lineup so you don't have a RB2 to play...

[KurtActual 380]

Commish may be able to help you there Undershooter
Edit: Nevermind, I thought you meant you were a man short of a full 9 man roster

I made this mistake with a TE earlier in the year - for some reason I expected the lineup to update automatically when doing an add/drop on a starter, ended up watching in suspense and luckily didn't need those points.

I'm ok with allowing the Pollard for Edmonds swap if the others in our division approve - email trail shows the add happened well in advance of the deadline and it was swapping out a starter in your lineup. I'm hoping it doesn't make a difference, but anything can happen, and it seems fair to me.

At this point in the season it's pretty tough to justify doing a commissioner's roster move.  We're all pretty well aware of the limitations of the website and app.

It's not like it's an empty roster spot or Pollard; Chase Edmonds is a pretty decent player most weeks (8 weeks of double digit points).  I think this needs to stand as is.

I don't personally think Edmonds in a time share is close to Pollard who gets the workload to himself with Zeke out. Which is why I added added him and not Edmonds originally.

With that said I never asked the other commissioners to swap Tony in for me. While it's obvious that I was adding Tony to play in place of the injured D Harris, I should've double and triple checked that the save went through, but I I didn't. It falls on me to set a lineup, despite the app kind of sucking. It is what it is, I think...

Edit: I type all of this as I watch Pollard score a second TD. The fantasy gods are cruel sometimes.

I was a man short. I had to go back and drop someone I didnt want to who was playing this afternoon to add Edmonds and fill out a lineup. Otherwise I was without a full lineup.

Edmonds is going to do his best! Looks like he might get more touches than Drake today.

We're certainly looking for some fantasy miracles!

Same. B.Boston is putting a whooping on me and my Josh Allen/ Derrick Henry led squad.
My support guys have choked all season when I needed them to pull through.

Can’t count you out yet man. Chubb could have a big game and put you right back in it.
