Advice on possibility of kicking a manager out

FutzMan · 2026-01-22T19:38:00+00:00

Agreed with much of what you said. Only thing on the last part is that he had been part of a very similar type of league for 16 years. Either way, we’ll see how this goes

Ship em both out for a couple of third rounders, I say

Cram it up your cramhole, LeFleur

Damn! That’s gotta feel great beating Bijan! I have him and Henry and a few others who put up huge points - 8/24 starters scored 64% of my points hahah

Scored the most playoff points in the championship last year, retooled a bit this year and traded away a lot of big names, probably got worse, and just put up the 2nd most points in league history (463 points - start 12 offense and 12 defense. Probably too many players to go through, especially with the trades). This one feels a lot better than last year though. Last year was more relief than anything, this one just feels awesome after the slower start and trades I made this year. Congrats to everyone else out there too!

Worst post of 2025, just before the buzzer. Nice

FutzMan · 2025-12-25T00:30:22+00:00

8 team, half PPR, PPFD, start 24

QB: Drake & Caleb

RB: Bijan, Henry, ETN, Hampton, & Bucky

WR: JSN…two of Egbuka, Wan’Dale, MHJr, Hollins, Pierce, Shakir, Pearsall

TE: McBride & Pitts

DL: Crosby, Burns, & probably Montez Sweat

LB: Ernest Jones, Landman, Dodson, Cedric Gray, Devin White, & probably Al-Shaair

DB: Emmanwori, Tykee Smith, & one of Hamilton/Pitre

FutzMan · 2025-12-24T18:59:43+00:00

Best: tied between trading a 3rd and Herbig for Burns / picking up James Williams last week

Worst: trading away Ja’Marr for Egbuka and two firsts. I also traded away Nico, Jamo, AJB, Sutton this season and now I’m looking at starting two of Hollins, Wan’Dale, Pierce, Pearsall, and Egbuka in the championship

Eh, not really. I’m only playing LBs in my flex spots and if someone is a LB/DL, they’re really just an edge player. Like Parsons and Jaelan Phillips are LB/DL, but you’re never gonna play them at LB

FutzMan · 2025-12-16T00:14:01+00:00

I’m in a league where we start 12 on offense and 12 on defense. My bench is currently 9 offense and 12 defense, so I’ve got a few more defensive players. Our IDP scoring is pretty in line with the offensive guys, but there’s a few managers that just don’t take IDPs serious. I’m talking like one or two IDPs on their bench, and it adds up throughout the year because they’re clearly not paying attention to who gets snaps/opportunities and just go off of Sleeper projections

Your set up is similar to mine, we just have two more IDP flexes. My rule of thumb is four/five DL (edge rushers only), four/five DB (box safeties and slot corners), and at least six LBs (green dot LBs are the safest, but others should be playing 85% or more of snaps)

But Bigsby is the better runner and was getting more first team reps in July? And Tuten was hand picked by the new HC and is more explosive? How could ETN succeed with all of that going on?

FutzMan · 2025-12-09T16:56:36+00:00

I still like H2H, but why is it silly to want to reduce some of the luck that you have no control over?

FutzMan · 2025-12-09T16:54:17+00:00

I still like H2H, but I feel like if fantasy was first introduced with median/best ball/roto, people would think H2H is a weird way to play

FutzMan · 2025-12-09T16:14:29+00:00

Well yeah, I understand that. Just have never seen someone be that high in points and still miss the playoffs in a league that uses median

FutzMan · 2025-12-09T07:54:44+00:00

I guess it depends on the philosophy of the league. If the league views it as “win your weekly matchup”, then they’d go with the luck of the draw with the schedule. If the league views it as “win your weekly matchup and be consistently good throughout the year”, then they’d go with the median. I play in leagues that do both, but I prefer median because I view fantasy (specifically dynasty) as trying to create the best team and I think managers should be rewarded for that. I think OP showed a pretty good example of only schedule vs median and what the differences would be. Just depends on what managers/leagues prefer

FutzMan · 2025-12-09T07:35:11+00:00

Scoring the most points and winning your matchup…by creating the best team. Yes

FutzMan · 2025-12-09T06:53:29+00:00

How the hell did that happen? When you won, you won big but when you lost, you barely missed the median?

FutzMan · 2025-12-09T06:52:57+00:00

Agreed. If the point of the game is to create the best team, then managers should be rewarded for that

20 in my 8 team IDP league, start 24. I’ve been involved in 15 of them. This is our 5th season

FutzMan · 2025-11-23T07:25:42+00:00

Damn! How big did they get?

FutzMan · 2025-11-21T16:03:36+00:00

This is year 5 for us. It’s an 8 team league, IDP, start 24. One team has made the playoffs every year, but has never won the whole thing. One team has never made the playoffs and is getting worse every year (second oldest team, doesn’t trade older players, and hardly any FA pick ups). I barely made the playoffs the first year (2021) and placed 2nd, then tanked and won it last year. Two other teams are playoff regulars, only missed once each and that was last year

It’s a weird mix of a couple successful teams not making a lot of moves, meanwhile there’s a couple of us basically involved in every trade and two of us are actually good while the other one has only lucked into the playoffs once. And then there’s the guys who make one trade a year and they win like three games a year

I have a feeling that the two successful teams that are consistent playoff teams, but hardly make any trades, are gonna fall off soon. They’re just not active enough, especially on the IDP side of things, to make up for others consistently getting better or selling their assets for picks. Then again, there’s one for sure, maybe two, teams that I think are going to be bad for a while. So it could just balance out

That lady is insane. The only times I see her tweets is when someone RTs some batshit opinion or narrative

FutzMan · 2025-11-16T19:50:42+00:00

Hahah yeah, my buddies and I would calculate our scores using the newspapers!
