V.I.P. AmberLander
My first game was a rousing success, lol!
I tried to do all the right things: scouting and reading all the FFL projections and reports on ESPN, looking at the waiver wire and FAs, and I did make a couple of lineup changes. My opponent also made a couple of lineup changes.
After all that was done, the projection was that I'd win by 50+ points. Of course I didn't think I had that strong of a team, but I thought I'd win by 15-25 points. My opponents QB was a 2nd stringer who was recently benched former starter who wouldn't get any touches. A few other of his players were (or seemed to be, lol) scrub-types. 6 of my starters were projected to get double digit points (14+). So, I felt pretty good going into Sunday's games.
Then disappointment set in :mrgreen: None of my starters came close to getting their projections, the 2 who did the best came in at 50% or so. And 3 of my opponents players got 2-3 times their projection! That's the way the ball bounces... It was still a lot of fun. The kind of fun that only exists in FFL: My QB threw to his WR (and the WR scored a butt load more points than my QB), and my defense actually played his defense in the Monday game.
So, Sunday night/Monday I was feeling a lot like:
Oh well, back to the salt mines (scouting reports)
