Whiskeyjack Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Looks like we're set up for a pretty interesting final 5 weeks. For some reason, the schedule worked out so that Mya, Jaime, BL, and I all play each other in 3 of those 5 weeks. So we'll all mostly control our own destinies in the fight for the week 14 byes. Meanwhile, Bronn dodges all of us other than Jaime, for better or worse.Matchups among the top 5 teams WJ - Jaime week 11, Mya week 12, BL week 13 Mya - Jaime week 10, BL week 11, WJ week 12 Jaime - BL week 9, Mya week 10, WJ week 11, Bronn week 13 BL - Jaime week 9, Mya week 11, WJ week 13 Bronn - Jaime week 13 Meanwhile, the same thing holds true in the bottom half of the league as well, so everyone fighting to make the playoffs is going to matchup against their direct opponents a lot. Matchups among the bottom 5 teams (+ Bronn) Dracarys - Week week 9, Dunk week 10, Jace week 11 Mudguard - Bronn week 9, Week week 11, Dunk week 12, Jace week 13 Week - Dracarys week 9, Bronn week 10, Mudguard week 11, Dunk week 13 Dunk - Dracarys week 10, Bronn week 11, Mudguard week 12, Week week 13 Jace - Dracarys week 11, Bronn week 12, Mudguard week 13 Bronn - Mudguard week 9, Week week 10, Dunk week 11, Jace week 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes clear that if the season ended today, the 4 teams in consideration to be Jaxomed are only separated by 3 power rankings wins. Very tight. Bronn and BL's best road for staying is continuing to win, which they both did this week, but they also tightened their respective power ranking positioning. Pretty mundane week overall. Not a ton of close matchups. Only thing I noted is that Jace gave up a win by not switching out MGIII and GB D (on bye). Think BL getting that win and Jace not will have definite ramifications down the line. When I look back at the three weeks of Fitzmagic I started with... Fuck.

Whiskeyjack Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Looking to trade either Fitzmagic or Baker. Together, they're just too much #swag for one team. Want to upgrade my starting lineup at RB and/or WR in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Week Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 Sorry to anyone trying to pick up any of the trash WRs that I've been adding and dropping. Tough bye week exacerbated by A-Rob's injury. YUCK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace, Extat Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Well, the die is cast and let's see how they fall. I'm open for business, just looking to avoid Jaxoming. My attention is now undivided, I apologize for past inconsistencies in involvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronn Stone Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Minor deal with me and Jace. I give up Tre-Quan Smith and get the NY Football Giants defense. I had maneuvered myself into a bit of a bye week bind for week 10 and pickings are mighty slim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime L Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Week 9 Power Rankings 1) Mya - 60-21 (7-2) 2) WJ - 54-27 (6-3) 3) Jaime - 52-29 (7-2) 4) Lord Dracarys - 40-41 (3-6) 4t) Mudguard - 40-41 (4-5) 6) Jace - 37-44 (3-6) 7) Week - 36-45 (2-7) 8) Bronn - 32-49 (5-4) 9) Dunknegg - 31-50 (3-6) 10) BL - 23-58 (5-4) No late drama this week. It all happened earlier when Mudguard and Dunk roared back from big early deficits to take their respective weeks and help keep their playoff hopes alive. With BL and Bronn losing this week, more than just the 6th spot could be in play. Other macro trends - my streak continues, up to 7 wins in a row though now have Mya/WJ looming as major threats to end it. Jace is going the other way - 6 losses in a row after being the last undefeated and could be sliding out of this league outright. BL also appears to be clearly in playoffs-or-bust mode. If he misses the playoffs, he is almost guaranteed to get Jaxomed. Probably needs 2 more wins to be safe. It's extremely rare for a 7 win team to miss the playoffs.

Week Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 AJ Green will likely be out a few weeks and back for the playoffs. Available at discount for an upgrade to help now at WR or RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaime L Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Week 10 Power Rankings 1) Mya - 66-24 (8-2) 2) WJ - 63-27 (7-3) 3) Jaime - 54-36 (7-3) 4) Lord Dracarys - 47-43 (3-7) 5) Mudguard - 44-46 (4-6) 6) Jace - 42-48 (3-7) 7) Week - 40-50 (3-7) 8) Dunknegg - 39-51 (4-6) 9) Bronn - 35-55 (5-5) 10) BL - 24-66 (6-4) Week pulling out his week over Bronn on a super late Sterling Shepard TD throws any playoff/Jaxoming clarity into disarray. 7 teams sit on a knife's edge with both very realistic playoff hopes and all could also very realistically be Jaxomed. Even picking the "safe" team by power rankings is too close to call. Not even sure who I'd bet on at this point. Looked like Mudguard was consolidating his position before the bottom fell out this week. And now Dunk with a couple close big wins is ascendant. Yahoo's now projecting 3 (!) 6-7 teams to make the playoffs which I'm pretty sure is unprecedented. And of course Week pulling out his win not only keeps his flickering playoff hopes alive, but Yahoo now is projecting him for the 4 seed. Tl;dr: who the fuck knows. But at least the last few weeks promise to be interesting. Outside of the Jaxoming vs. playoffs meatgrinder, Mya consolidated her bye positioning by taking me down and ending my winning streak. Jace put up a decent score and had a chance to end her losing streak but ran into WJ putting up the high score on the season. The bar is now 220 but with the way this season is gone, wouldn't be surprised if someone passed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Dracarys Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Another tough week where I score lots of points (third most) and manage to get matched against another team scoring tons of points (second most). I really should have realised Green being out might make Dalton a bad play, but alas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is this is the one league where there is a legit consolation prize for that. If the season ended today you'd miss the playoffs but be saved by power rankings. And you have a definite pts for advantage over your competition when it comes to making the playoffs. If you win your final 3, you're in. Otherwise gotta keep this run of strong performances you've had these last 3 weeks going to be saved by power rankings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was certainly a fun game to "watch" (I actually had it on the radio so I could watch something else at the same time with the sound down and the captions on). Even after the TD, Goodwin got most of the margin back and my matchup went down to the last play (a catch by Goodwin or a pick by the NYG would have won for me). Then again with 5+ minutes left in the 3rd quarter, Kittle had taken Manhole to within one point of me in Dynasty. Except for a reception where he was called for Offensive PI, Kittle never touched the ball again and I won that one. I loathe Tom Brady enough that watching him wither away is joyful to me even though he's doing it on a couple of my Fantasy rosters. I'd be playoff bound in three other Westeros leagues if I am the one on the Jaxom block so, there are opportunities there. Plus with three teams already sitting on 7 losses and two more at 6, it is very easy to envision 6-7 being good enough to make the playoffs, and Jaime points out that likely two or three teams will qualify with that number. Two seven loss teams face each other in Week 11 and the other faces a six-loss team. My 5-5 squad faces the other 4-6. Playoff slots could start locking in very early. Mya already has one. Edited to add: Even though the site doesn't acknowledge it, Jaime and WJ have mathematically clinched playoff slots. The two teams currently at 4-6 face each other in Week 12, since they cannot both win, there are four teams that cannot reach 7 wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that is what is softening the blow of being so unlucky this season because at least I might not get Jaxomed despite how seriously unlucky I've been. Which is good because my Westeros leagues have gone... poorly this year generally speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
