To be fair, RE the offsides, once you've already done it twice and the kicker is that close, you honestly might as well just keep doing it on the off chance that you time the snap perfectly and actually get a legitimate block. Heck that was probably the mindset after the first one alone.

Rules:
Picks must be in before that game's kick-off. You may, for instance, pick the 1 PM games then come back in another post and pick the rest, but I prefer that when doing so you quote your previous post so it becomes easier for me to keep everything together. All times listed are ET. PLEASE NOTE, to avoid any further confusion, that 1 PM means no later than 1:00:59 on the post timestamp (though I think it lists it in pst so it'd be 10:00:59 AM)

You may change picks at any time as long as it's before that game's kick-off, see above rule.

Not really a rule, but please do try to keep your picks in order with how I've posted them, as it also makes it easier on me to plug the picks in. Thank you for your consideration.

If someone has missed 4 consecutive weeks, I am removing them from the roster.

Sorry about the late post, wans't feeling great today. Anyway, contrasting last week's bloodbath, this week was high wins! No one scored fewer than 8. But our high pickers were @Crescent-Moon and @Wizardsfan1000 with 13 wins! Good job!

Upset of the week was a tie between Cleveland and Seattle, with 7 picks each (Curse you Gano).

Managed to beat 6 stages, unfortunately the level 2 boss took a lot out of me because I kept trying to save characters and thought the dudes I kept taking could finish him off (he was at 3%) and he kept one-shotting me. I was saving my AGL guys for Goku Black. The AGL Guys I saved couldn't beat him when I finally got there.

I remember when having Super Vegito meant my AGL team was my best team. Now it might be my 2nd worst. Maybe worst.

I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss

Okay so I'm just getting around to caring about this battle clash thing, a question:

Should I 'expect' to lose characters while going through this? Like how difficult do the bosses get? Are we talking like level 30 EZA hard? SBR Hard? Will it be normal to get to like boss 4 and expect to have to use two teams on them? Because there's like 8 fights in total right? If you use the minimum characters all the way through, that's 56 characters, so even being able to bring 100 strikes me as "You will need every single one of these characters."

I'm usually very skittish when it comes to trading, but when i do, i try to make it fair for both parties to the best of my knowledge. I'm still learning though.

I think that's all anyone is asking, really. Just make your best effort to be fair about it. There's a difference between honestly just not having a great scope of what's valuable to whom, vs trying to pull the wool over someone's eyes (which sounds like what kcf is referring to here). I know one year, might have been my 2nd, I made a couple really bad trade proposals and I heard about it later, but KCF was gracious because he knew I was still learning and just didn't know any better. I don't think anyone can begrudge you for such things.

RE: Cap space

Something that I personally struggle with in managing my cap space is wanting to do a lot at once, then being set for a while. I like uniformity and the league just does not work that way. I like having all my QBs expire at once, but it's not good. I like having all my best players expire at once, but it's not good. I like spending lots in FA to make a splash, to be the talk of the league, then not need to do anything for a while, but it's just not good. You need to have them spread out.

The biggest year in UFA I had was signing OT Whitworth and HB Bush to big deals, and I am just now starting to get out of the hole that those signings put me in. I had to restructure last year because I was in such a bind. Bush is making 10 mil this year. Bush has been great when he's been healthy, but much to I'm sure KCF's happiness (he told me so), I do kind of regret giving him that deal because HB is just so deep. It's important to keep track of where the thinnest positions are, and base your signings on that. Overpaying for an LB is a lot easier to swallow than overpaying for a HB, or a K.

You need to spread your players expiry years out. If you sign a bunch of dudes to 3 year deals, then on that 3rd year you will be hurting big time. It seems like most of the time I have 20+ dudes expiring any given year, and I need to do a better job of that. It makes that year you re-sign them pretty good, because they're making lower money than they will later on, but in all likelihood, the year before will have been hell because all those guys were making higher money than they were earlier on. You have to find that balance of guys on the front, vs guys on the tail ends of their deals.

RE: Growth
I pretty much echo Shattered's mindset on this. If you're bad, you don't need picks, you need players. That's what the pumpkins did. They didn't amass lots of picks, they went ham in FA, and their normal picks supplemented it. If you're on the flipside and you have a good cycle going like KCF, you want picks to keep that influx of young talent ready to take over when it's their time.

I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss

I appreciate all you had to say KCF.

I personally try to hold of on trading with new users until at least a year, so they can survey the lay of the land and get a feel of things to avoid the exact scenario you're talking about. It's natural for someone who's been in the league longer to have an advantage when it comes to this stuff. I remember I made several trade proposals my first year or two that were just so lopsided because I had no scope of what was worth how much. It takes time to get used to.

With that said, I think we users need to be sure to use the veto if we truly feel it's needed. Not wanted, needed. I know The Trade was a highly divisive moment in this project's history, and I hate that it happened. But we need to realize that people will have differences of opinion, and that we will never use the veto just to strike down something that we feel will help the competition get the leg up on us. I know people who play fantasy like that, they'll vote against any trade not involving them because it helps 2 teams who aren't them. I think that's bad, and I think we need to just trust that none of us here are that way. IT IS OKAY to have differences of opinion! Those differences are good to have around, because it helps both sides view things in ways they perhaps hadn't thought about before. Discussion is good for the league. If you are part of a trade, and some people veto it, don't hold that against them, they aren't out to get you. They just want to be sure that both sides are getting a fair shake.

I personally don't think that every trade needs to be exactly 50/50. If a team is desperate, then players/picks go up in value to that user relative to the rest of the league, and I don't think it's wrong to take advantage of that. Someone's starting MLB just go down for the year in preseason? You know a user is targeting a player in the draft and you hold the current pick you know they want? Shoot em a trade asking for more than you normally would! You aren't screwing them over by doing that, the burden is on them to decide if it's worth it. Just don't pressure them on it, y'know? Let them be able to walk away if they want to. If it's accepted, even if the trade at it's core is a slight mismatch, that user who is getting the MLB isn't just giving away stuff for free, they got a useful piece! If I had high hopes for my team that year, and felt like that player going down significantly decreases my chances, I would much rather pay a little more to get a guy that can help me now rather than wait and "maybe" get something for equal value. Isn't that the premise upon which UFA is built, anyway? Pay more than a guy is worth to get him. Why should trading be any different? Again, this is all my opinion, and it's okay for people to disagree.

So yeah, that week happened. Our worst week by far. About 1/4 of our pickers got 8 or more wins. For a little context here, I did just a quick number crunch: Among the 43 by my count, people who haven't missed a week yet, the avg number of correct picks not including this past week was about 375. As in, the totals of weeks 1-10 averaged together. There were 267 correct picks last week, a full 100+ lower. The 2 lowest before that were Week 10 at 333, and week 2 at 341. This was an AWFUL week.

With that being said, congrats to @TheKnightOfNee for racking up 11 wins to vault back into the lead! Honorable mentions to @Cody11533 with 10, and @MrSmartGuy with 9, the only 3 people to get more than 8. Good job guys!

Upset of the week? As one guy mentioned already, Denver takes the cake with a whopping 2 picks, but don't sleep on Oakland and...ugh...Detroit...with 4 picks each, and Dallas with 6. The 2 Jax pickers looked smart nearly all game, but alas, fate would not have it.

This except that's the reason college football is unwatchable garbage.

I don't think high scoring games automatically make a game bad, imo the bad thing about college is that such a large percentage of the games with good teams in them, are when the other team is some nobody getting outscored 70-7 or something when they shouldn't even be on the same field. College basketball is guilty of the same thing.
