@gobama84Live scoring shows all players, if you select home and go down to matchups it will show the total with your top 4 scores. 
This is a list with your matchups of your top 4 scores. It is a bit of weird thing with the site, but the live scoring doesn't show your actual score as it includes any and all players who you have on your team and are in the field that week.

How do I see these for yesterday?  I only see next week's matchups.

Thanks!

Go to Standings then select Results (it defaults to Regular Season). Then select your team, this will bring up the whole schedule of your matchups each week so go to the bottom and you'll see Valero Texas Open.

Thanks!  Hope I wasn't the only person who didn't understand this.  Wow!!

The site is good, but it takes some digging to get use to it and find all the info in some cases. We have a unique scoring system as well which is likely why there is the difference between Live and Matchups.
Its much like the draft setup, if you leave it as default often it will be based on current standings before the season has really started. 
Not a perfect system, but some searching around and looking through the different options available and there is a ton of good information that can be found.

Okay all, I am going to try and bring back the weekly recap. I'll do my best to keep it consistent week to week and provide some highlights of where the league is at and some info from Fantrax. 

Week 10 - Valero Texas Open
@ZJBogey2is the High Scoring team of the week nearly cracking the 200 point mark with 198.85 points. He only had 4 in the field this week, but all of them had solid weeks including the winner Jordan Spieth. The remaining 3 were Doug Ghim, Scottie Scheffler and Gary Woodland. 

Our 4 undefeated teams of the week were ZJBogey, @TCUFrog, @Georgia Southern Eagles and @Berg Ryman with there being a good overlap of the previously mentioned players. 

The league median for the week was a lowly 114.08 only higher then last weeks (2 weeks ago) of 93.35. For reference our highest of the season was 181.05 in week 2 and we normaly average in the 140 or so each week. 

Our closest matches goes to the following with some really close scores.



@xOldBenKenobiX is leading the way in the standings for a technically 3rd week in a row which ties him with ZJBogey with most weeks atop the standings. To date we have had 6 different teams leading the standings in 10 weeks. Keeping in mind we have 17 weeks remaining till the playoffs as Week 28 is when we will have our 3 week championships starting. 

With that we have 10 teams within 10 games (1 week of matchups) of the lead, so lots can change up top!


The cut line for playoffs is looking very close as well! 35 Teams will be making the first round and there is a logjam at 43 wins.


Still lots of time left and many weeks, but with Major season starting next week it will be key to see where teams move over the coming weeks. 

One last note- Revsroundruined has a very strong team, but had a very unfortunate week with 1 in the field and that player being Norlander who ended up with negative points for a rare negative points scored week. He is still sitting comfortably in 14th and has a good squad going into The Masters where he will be looking to take back some of those wins. 

That's a wrap for this week and next week onto The Masters where I imagine we will beat our League Median record and see several scores in the 200 range. Going back 2 Fantasy seasons ago we had 4 teams crack the 200 barrier, however we only had 32 total teams! 

For those looking at a good recap of players in the field here you go! https://www.golfdigest.com/story/masters-2021-augusta-national-ranking-the-entire-field

Hope you all enjoy the recap and if you want them to continue for the remainder of the season let me know! 

Thanks for the write up! Started from the bottom, now we are in the middle!

First major of the year. Love it because this is where teams are finally starting to figure out who and what they are and who and what they can attempt to accomplish this season. If you've been waiting to see if your roster is going to make a move, now is the time to begin to consider what you need to go to either cement your place, state your case, or blow it to space

Also, just because you've got so many people playing this week doesn't mean you have the right people playing this week. Majors are always some of our highest scoring events on the calendar because there are so many option out there who can have good weeks. It feels very wide open right now.

I’m expecting big things from my main 5!  Just gotta round out the squad with some potential.

Will be interesting see how many people are picked up this week. I have 7 waiver bids in to ensure I get at least 1 guy, but certainly not an amazing selection available. Just happy teams are more or less filled now and we can start seeing the true potential of teams... not that you have been suffering leading the league in points scored and players owned!

With this being the smallest field for a major championship it will be interesting for sure to see if teams drop every week players for the likes of Bernhard Langer, Sandy Lyle, etc. With such a smallish field the Waiver wire is tough for guys like Werenski, Poston, Hahn, and others that aren’t teeing it up this week but tend to play a lot. 
I have 3 claims currently to fill out my open roster spots but I need to go and see if there is a long shot I wanna put my claim in on for the week. One of the old guys usual plays into the weekend at Augusta!

One big reason I am leading in points is having at least 4 playing every week. It’s the reason I went to a big 4. Like I said I didn’t even remember sending the Palmer trade so I may be looking to move him after this week.  5  guys inside the Top 27 OWGR including 3 Top 12 should set me up well for the long run. I really wanted to keep Zalatoris but unless he wins he doesn’t qualify for the Playoffs due to temporary status.

And that's where I'm sitting here. I have 7 guys going, but Keegan Bradley is not. I do have a claim in to drop him, because I feel like he, and others like him on a Points per week basis are findable on the wire. For those of you who have to make multiple moves, I do wondering how you all will attack that knowing that you may have guys who are studding out on points per week, but might not get these exclusive invite events.

Alright guys, it has been a busy day at work, so if I have not gotten back to you with a counter proposal on a trade offer, it is because I just have not had a chance to look at it yet, my apologies, I will try to look at them as the evening goes on.

I also tried to be like @blackngold_blood and sent out a lot of offers today, I still don't know if it will pay out or not.

ya, the offer you sent me was kind of laughable, no offense. not gonna give up two top 30 guys for only one top 30 guy.

My apologies if my offer was not up to par, I am trying to understand and use what each person is valuing their players at, sometimes I go with gut feeling and never look at the Fantrax standings nor the world golf ranking standings.

Again I meant no offence.

None taken  Reminds me of a time I took advantage of a friend in fantasy football and ended up pairing up to top 4 running backs on my team at that time. I felt guilty about it but i didn't force him to accept.

How in the hell do you have this stacked of a team? WHAT ARE THE REST OF YOU GUYS DOING TO LET THIS HAPPEN?

I believe I have traded Leishman and Woodland twice each lol.  Might have even traded Kuch twice but not sure on that one.  

[Nunfa0]

I have managed to get 8 up for this week and it's a group that anything could happen with.

[fixyurdivot]

I moved up four spots at The Honda and one spot after this week's play, so a good trend. Not really sure who I would start swapping for.  I feel like I have a pretty good mix of players and, while I could do some changes, my gut tells me I'd end up pretty much in the same team power ranking position... a pretty good mix of players. 

Malnati has been my weakest player and I've been tempted to swap him. But it's a long season and, sure as hell, just as soon as I trade him he'll win.

He is the master of the trade.

Hope everyone is excited for The Masters! I drive by ANGC often but haven't actually been to The Masters since 2016. Should be an exciting week!

Also, does anybody know exactly how waivers works? I had six claims pending, all $0 bids, and used the priority rank. Somehow, the fourth person on my list is the one it picked up but my first and second priority still have multiple copies available and weren't part of the drops. All were scheduled for this morning too, not Wednesday. I ended up getting him in free agency just now but I'm hoping to avoid this issue in the future.

Waivers did run on time so to speak, for me its 7:00am Tuesday morning or 2:00am EST. As for how it works, it seemed to work as I wanted for mine. I ended up with 13 claims just in case and go my 2nd. I had Westwood as priority 1 with a 7 dollar bid and got blown out of the water by gobama at 37! FABB. 
I'm not sure why it that would have happened for you especially with them still being available. I partially wonder if even when using the priority list, but having several at 0 bid if it bogs up the system a bit especially with so many teams potentially bidding at a 0 mark as well?

Possibly. They definitely ran on time, I think only once all year the waivers forgot to run and had to be manually pushed through, haha. Just thought it was interesting but glad I got my guy! Hopefully only having 6 this week won't hurt me, but there's no way I can drop Kirk or Tringale.

It wasn’t just you. I had 10 claims in and received #7 and #10 even though my #1 (Victor Perez) and #2 (Molinari) were still free agents after the waiver run. I’m wondering if having more than 1 copy of guys throws the system off.
