| ZaziGuado 10/01/22 9:34:08 AM #31 | My two cents as somebody who participated regularly and then fell off: I don't think the point of the series was to discover new, obscure music. I tried to keep up at first when we switched to giving people a week to their own to nominate, and I think there is room for weeks like that, but when I moved to a house and my child was born, it was really hard to find the time to give a dedicated listen to a brand new album every single week. Sometimes it's good to visit the critically acclaimed stuff. Fleetwood Mac - Rumours was one of the most popular weeks if memory serves. I have a huge blind spot in popular albums for the 80s as well, so it was nice to familiarize myself with such an album that impacted music so much. I try to participate, but it's hard to find the time with how my life is currently. If an album I'm familiar with pops up, I'll attempt to find a ranking but that hasn't happened for awhile. I like the idea of introducing something similar to how when this first started out where we try to nominate an album we think others will want to rank as well rather than nominate our favorite albums and try and get opinions on it. Currently I've been trying to split the difference between those two thought processes, but I always expect the known choice to win. I was super surprised the Grimes didn't win the vote over Sigrid and think it would've been a better week had Art Angels been the album we ranked. This was just a stream of consciousness so I'll just end it by saying I don't want to take this too seriously so whatever happens, happens. I will continue to try and participate whenever I reach the intersection of time allowed and familiarity with that week's choice. --- snowpork azuarc is OP. |

Sucker Punch doesn't revolutionize the pop sound and the material is pretty by the book. Sigrid simply shows that she is able to do this as well as any current pop artist. --- snowpork azuarc is OP. |

| ZaziGuado 09/08/22 10:19:55 PM #21 | I guess I misheard what my league's rules were because it's full PPR and also you get .1 point for every rushing/receiving yard and .04 for every passing yard. There's a lot of points to be had. I don't think it would've changed my draft strategy all THAT much, but maybe I would've gone for a WR over a second RB in the 2nd round. --- snowpork azuarc is OP. |

| ZaziGuado 09/06/22 4:52:17 PM #20 | Nanahara715 posted... I like Best Ball A LOT for several reasons: I suppose I can see the benefits to Best Ball. Drafting is indeed the most fun part of the season and probably makes the highest floor vs highest ceiling dynamic a lot more compelling. Shattered posted... When I first emigrated to the states and started playing fantasy football I was absolutely dumbfounded by the H2H setup and the very realistic possibility of the best team / highest scoring team not winning the league. I had played the English version of fantasy football for 10+ years prior and those are always total points for the season as a whole wins. I've tried Fantasy Premier League for the past few years and it's been so hard for me to stay engaged. A large part of that is definitely my lack of awareness of teams and players in the Premier League as a whole, but another part is how limiting the transfer system feels and how arbitrary (to me) the costs feel. I have trouble predicting anything that's going to happen and I just have to hope I secured a strong enough lineup at the start because once I have to start making moves I'm at a complete loss of the best way to do it. --- snowpork azuarc is OP. |

| ZaziGuado 09/05/22 10:02:04 PM #17 | I've seen a lot of advertising for "Best Ball" leagues and I feel like that defeats a lot of the purpose of fantasy football. I love the idea of not having to agonize over my starting lineup, but I feel like it would make everything hollow and easy to lose interest. Plus it makes inactive owners much more dangerous. --- snowpork azuarc is OP. |

Kinda bummed that Art Angels didn't win the poll last week, but Sigrid is great! Maybe she's more known than I figured or maybe people just really dug Don't Kill My Vibe. But I will say if you like pop music and haven't listen to Art Angels, you should change that at some point. Or I'll just nominate it again whatever. --- snowpork azuarc is OP. |

| ZaziGuado 08/21/22 1:26:01 PM #7 | Probably a Raiders fan? Fandom does crazy things to people. My draft featured a Falcons fan, a couple Vikings fan, a couple Bears fans, a Bills fan, a Patriots fan and a large number of Iowa Hawkeye fans (we work at the University). Here are some of the imo bizarre picks that I can remember: --Cordarrelle Patterson by the Falcons fan in the third round (funnily enough the guy who drafted him drafted TEs with his first two picks and neither of them were Pitts (Andrews and Kittle)). This guy had numerous other outlandish picks and I love him for it. --Josh Allen went #7 overall (but not picked by the Bills fan) --Ihmir Smith-Marsette was drafted by a Vikings/Hawkeyes fan (last year the guy drafted ISM in like the 8th round and also drafted Brandon Smith--another Hawkeye WR that got drafted that year) --The Patriots fan (who had the #1 overall pick) took Tom Brady in the 5th round and I think Gabriel Davis in the 2/3 turn (he tries to be buddy-buddy with the Bills fan) --Hockeson and Kmet got taken by the same Bears/Hawkeye fan fairly early, I think rounds 5 and 7. --DeShaun Watson was drafted by a guy who was fully aware of the suspension. That's what I can remember off the top of my head. There's probably more but the rosters haven't been loaded yet. --- snowpork azuarc is OP. |

| ZaziGuado 08/20/22 11:11:13 PM #2 | My league is a 14-team Half PPR league with a bunch of coworkers. There's a $50 buy-in as well, so there's money to be made at the end of the season. Top 7 teams make the playoffs. My team (drafted at #4): QB: Derek Carr (LV) RB: Christian McCaffrey (CAR) RB: James Conner (ARI) WR: Mike Evans (TB) WR: Brandin Cooks (HOU) TE: Irv Smith Jr. (MIN) FLEX: Juju Smith-Schuster K: Dustin Hopkins (LAC) DST: Cleveland Browns DST BN: AJ Dillon (GB) BN: Michael Thomas (NO) BN: Kenneth Gainwell (PHI) BN: Khalil Herbert (CHI) BN: George Pickens (PIT) BN: Evan Ingram (JAX) Things at my draft went off the rails a bit. One guy took TEs with his first two picks (Andrews and Kittle) and a number of QBs went in the first three rounds. There's was also an insane run on TEs in like the 5/6 round that happened between my picks. Because of this I feel pretty comfortable with my team since I didn't feel like I was settling with anyone. Only reach is probably Juju Smith-Schuster in the 5th round but with how unpredictable things were (and where he was placed on the rankings sheets that were handed out), I wanted to scoop him up because I have high hopes for him in the Kansas City offense. Michael Thomas could be a coup as well if he's healthy and motivated. I'm not going to start the season with a backup QB as I wait to see how my upside bench players start out before dropping one eventually. I have my eyes on Jameis Winston. --- snowpork azuarc is OP. |

I'm not going to promise advice will be given in this topic because it certainly wouldn't be coming from me, but we can certainly try and help each other out.
