Not always about having the best team, but having the best schedule...

Im sure many of you know what I mean. How many times have you had a great week and had the 2nd or 3rd best point total for the week in your league only to lose because you were up against the team with the highest point total! I am in 2 keeper leauges and that problem happened to me all year last year in 1 of them. I had easily the best team on paper(Brady, Romo, LT, Lynch,TJ, T Gonz, to name a few) My allplay record for the year was 113-40 which was 15 games better than the next best, but my final league record was 7-6( 5 other teams finished ahead of me with 8-5 records) Twice I had the 2nd highest point totals and lost because I happened to be scheduled against the team who had the highest that particular week. Another week I had the 3rd highest only to lose.

This week in the other keeper league I am in which is a 14 team league, my allplay record will be 10-3 with the 4th highest point total. Unfortunately, I once again happened to be scheduled against the team who had the highest point total for the week( he had the McNabb/Parker combo) so despite having a very good week, I start the year 0-1.

Having a good team is always a good thing, but sometimes scheduling can kill you...

that is why in my 12 team league, we have 6 playoff teams. The winners of each of the 3 divisions. The teams with the two next best records (regardless of division), and the last spot goes to the remaining team that has scored the most total points, regardless of record.

That is the only way to make sure a team like yours does not get totally screwed over.

Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

in the cappersmall league we have 2 head to head matchups per week. it's a good idea IMO. so even if you're unlucky to get highest scorer that week, you'll atleast split 1-1
