I agree, the disparity in points against accounts for roughly 17 points per matchup from most PA to least. Hard not to see that playing a role. Hopefully over the course of a long season that data normalizes. I’d love to see “league median’s” record. That team puts up points!

Never even thought about it until right now...

Does Fantrax actually use the league median or is it really the league mean?  Those can be fairly different numbers and I never thought to ask.

And if Fantrax is up to date (have not looked at the lineup) I only have 2 going this week lol ruh roh

Yeah it should be up to date. There is only 72 golfers in the event and quite a few are European golfers. This is the week that makes you decide to pick up players are chance it with just 2-3 guys.

Not at all that I am looking for a change, but it would be interesting to to use the League median as a so called cut line that would indicate who makes playoffs and who left out, then have a secondary cut line for those who would "make it to sunday" so to speak. 
I haven't look much at the individual matchups other then just glancing through on most fridays to see where I stand in most matchups, but may be worth checking out a little closer. Hurts that the west coast swing is a 9 hour time difference so was not about to stay up and watch even though I likely should have seeings how it ended.

At least half my team can't miss the cut by 1 this week...

I’m assuming that this week is set for WGC and not the PR open as well? That would create some craziness which I’m kind of here for.

Can you imagine the mad dash for all those players in the PR Open?

We get a choice and chose median on purpose because it is a more accurate representation of the middle.

Makes sense to me. I just hadn’t even thought about it. Thanks for letting me know.

I'd just like to note that for those who are a bit skitish about early returns since you aren't playing everyone every week, last year we still had 29/30 of the highest scoring teams make the post season (man, that poor team that finished as a top 30 team who missed out) and hopefully once we'll need to set up those matchups custom we'll be set. In golf it all usually evens out for the most part.

Also, going to be intrigued to see what the play is for some this week.

I just need my two guys going this week to finish 1-2 then I'll stand a good chance at staying over .500!

It's ok though... I'm still weeks ahead of where I was last year at this point from a winning percentage perspective.

We appreciate you biting the bullet and being the lone top 30 scoring team left out. I really didn't want to have to do it lol

What amazes me is that in a game with 320 points scored between the two "teams" I managed to lose a match by less than .5

Well folks I’m almost happy with my team! I’m shopping Morikawa at the moment.  Before I get any crazy offers realize that he is #6 in the world.

Yeah everybody values players differently but some common sense should be used. A top 10 player in the world isn’t gonna be traded straight up for a guy that barely cracks the top 50 even if he is playing well.

The 1st 3 team trade in our league was just executed!  

[juspoole 1,834]

I have to make sure I'm making adjustments more often.  Keep losing track of time and Thursday rolls around and I'm stuck.  Most of your are probably saying no sh*t - but I am not too familiar fantasy play.  If that wasn't already apparent by my standing in the league thus far.

This may have opened a whole new world for you... And a very dangerous one for everyone else.

Tiger was involved in a single car rollover accident.  CNN is reporting that he is hospitalized after needing the jaws of life to cut him out of the wreck.  It appears no one else was involved or hurt during the incident.

That puts a damper on seeing the big cat in action this year.  I hope he wasn't hurt badly.  I was just looking at a story that he might be back for the Masters too, I can't imagine this wouldn't push back his plans, even if his back wasn't tweaked.
