Not sure what I can do here.

[sk25411]

I’m at a loss for words with my team right now. Team is in sig, I’ve made so many moves to get this team how I want it, and now I’m sitting at 1-4.

I seriously feel like throwing stuff out the window right now. 3/4 weeks I play a team that goes absolutely nuts, and I score the second most for the week. This same situation happened to me in 2015 and I finished with the second most points with a 5-8 record.

Do I blow this team up? Hope for luck to just turn my way FOR ONCE? Get rid of some pieces? Tank? I really don’t know.

Fantasy just isn’t fun when this happens.

I take it this is merely a venting post? I feel your pain, we've all been there.

And with that being said, why blow this team up? It's set to compete in future years.

[Jigga94]

Deep breaths...

It's a 1 QB start. You only need 2 of those 3.
You also only need 1 kicker...

Your RB are good if not great. WR Corp is good but try and move Jordy for a piece that can help next year.

I'm sure WW could be picked over. You can drop guys like Swaim, Wilson, Benjy

Otherwise you're fine. Some small tweaks. No reason to blow it up

Perhaps try to convince the Commish to add Victory Points for regular season for future years.

[Phaded]

Those are the breaks.

In one league last year I started 1-4, but then won 8 straight.

Your team is performing. Do not overreact.

[Bot101]

Don’t blow anything up. Cut the guys others have already mentioned. My team in sig has been hand crafted the way I want it and it’s underperforming as well. After this week I’ll be 3-2 but not scoring very much.

It won't do you any good to blow up your team. In my 12 team league, the 5th highest scoring team is also at 1~4, and the last two weeks, he has been the second highest scoring team in the league and he lost both those games.

Maybe throw out a rule change suggestion for playoff format (to be implemented next season, of course).

In every one of my dynasty leagues, the top scoring team NOT in the top-5 of records gets the 6th seed. That way an incredibly good team that happens to get unlucky all season still makes the playoffs. Nobody has ever complained about it since we implemented that rule several years ago, and it makes the final few weeks WILD since you may have 4-6 teams vying for the wild card still.

I was going to suggest the same thing. Suggest a rule change (starting next year) to allow final wildcard be awarded to top points. I do that in one league and it works very well and gives all legitimate teams hope all season, without needing to be overly focused on record alone.

Definitely a vent post from me. Thanks for the replies.

I love the wild card team rule, it actually would have changed our playoffs in the last 2 years, as the second highest scoring team overall missed the playoffs. Shocker, he’s 5-0 this year lol.

Our WW is so picked through, I’m always cutting and adding long shots, there’s nothing really there now. That’s why some of the guys are on my team, including 2 kickers heh.

Hopefully, I can turn this around and push to the playoffs.

If the losses keep stacking up, who would you guys suggest I move? (If I’m definitely out, no trade deadline)

I personally wouldn't tinker too much with that roster. It's set up to win for a few years. Maybe package Jordan Howard for an upgrade or watch for a good buy-low opportunity to upgrade your RB position for next year. You've still got your 1st round pick, so if it ends up high, then that will just give you the potential for another solid player to add to your already solid lineup.

This. We have 4 divisions of 3 teams. Each division sends a team, and the final two spots are based off of power rank (you pick what you want - power rank, points scored, all play record, victory points). Bottom line is it allows for teams that got unlucky in scheduling to make the playoffs if they truly are the deserving teams.

[grandmabetty]

I feel ya. im 3-2 but injuries have hit my team hard and some guys haven't performed to expectations. Like you I spent the last 12 months ripping people off like a savant to develop the perfect team and I thought I would go 16-0 but alas im just staying afloat. That's why we play the game right....

[IR1]

Last year I was high points in the league, made the playoffs with a 6-7 record and lost in the first round. Made a couple off season moves and now sit 5-0 with the high points. Not much you can do about the luck aspect of head to head match ups, just keep your eye on your point total and build the best team you can.
