I'm going to get another win it would appear. Holy crap.
It's a two week match up I'm afraid.

Poo!
my team decided to tank during the first week of the finals. Typical.

The number of players that tanked this week is actually incredible....
I lost Rawls (for Season), until late 4th quarter Julio did nothing, oh Eifert injured as well (Concussion) and Evans & Funchess go back to down weeks in good match-ups...no idea...(Luckily for me the effort from Rodriguez was as bad (Though has Eli, Odell & Jarvis to go which is a worry)
Lamar Millers 2 TDs today has given me a glimmer of hope.
41 points from Cam Newton handed me a loss.
41 points from Cam Newton handed me a loss.
I can't believe I held on in Payslaves against Cam...just nutty...that game may have caused me to lose in my money league though...
I need 6pts (60yds or a TD) from Hightower to make back to back Championship games...
Made the Championship Round in 2 other leagues
Missed Playoffs even though highest scoring team in 1 league (Only two teams scored over 1700, me (1900) & #1 Seed (1800))
And my Money league looks like I will lose in the Semis (Basically get my money back) - Current score 127-92, I have Hightower, He has Willie Snead & G.Tate (aka I AM Screwed) - Should've played COusins over Tannehill, Diggs over Roberts, Funchess over Fitz, Morris over Fozzy & Vikes over Panthers, all things I did think about in the week leading up....A combined 59pts better than my starting line-up...would actually mean the game was close :P (Not that it matters as I would be without OBJ next seek following his suspension :P)
could go from never winning a league to winning them all!
could go from never winning a league to winning them all!
I won Payslaves in 2012 (My only ever title...)
That year I was completely dominant, Year Peterson & Charles returned from ACL tears, I drafted both of them in round 3 & 4
So my draft started: Rodgers, Forte, Peterson, Charles, Sproles....then Harvin, Bryant (12 was his first 1000yd season), R.Wilson as my Rookie, (I took Randall Cobb late - for Return Yards, the team averaged nearly 200pts a week (Normal is about 120-130 in that league).
That season is why I have no problem picking guys returning from injuries...(See Doug Martin :P)
I take it from the posts above that I'm in the final. Bad time to move house - won't get the internet back until early January after the fantasy season is finished. Might need to get myself down to an internet café.

Don't have the app?
Yeah get the app.
So Jono must be busy with his kid as hasn't updated. But this was the results.
Here is next weeks match ups, winners match and consolation.
The rest
Thanks for that. I've only got a basic $20 phone (have a habit of losing them when I'm drunk so don't trust myself with a smartphone).
Sorry guys, yeah very busy with my daughter at home...Probably won't get an update out until after the end of the finals now :(
But I promise a big update after the finals :D
Bacause I don't often get to brag about Washington! Winners of their division today with win over the Eagles.
Good on ya Yakcall!
I have to thank Cousins & Reed, played them in a couple of Championship games, having a 50pt or 25pt lead early on is excellent.
PS. My Vikings aren't confirmed yet...
We need any one of the following today:
Carolina beats Atlanta @ 1pm
Seattle beats St Louis @ 4:25pm
Minnesota beats Giants @ 8:30pm
Yeah, I wish I played Cousins over Brady for the second week in a row. 11 points from Brady and 32 to Cousins! D'oh
Think my only mistake in any Championship game this week was benching Hightower for Charcandrick West (Payslaves), is kind of irrelevant as I have a lead of about 40pts :D
Come on for the game against the Skins!
Fudgein Cardinals defence. Their 33 points means I never had a chance of winning my Championship game.
So everyone knows after the season I'll send out an email requiring some votes on MVP & some other awards I thought up for the season...and release an end of season wrap around about Superbowl week (1st Week of Feb)
If anyone is interested I'm welcoming folks to mine to watch the NFL Playoffs on Sun Jan 17th, if you are interested just pop me an email jono (dot) newton (at) Gmail and I'll let you know address and details :) (Are two games on that day our time at 10am & 2pm :D)
Keen for the catch up to watch the games.
Also so people know, Super Bowl is on Waitangi Day this year, I have booked two booths at four Kings for us to watch the game.
Feburary 8th not 6th (It's on the Monday, just in case people get confused...)
The Title game in our league is going to come down to Sunday NightFootball...Vikings vs Packers (Is LIVE on TVNZ Pop-up - Freeview at 2:30pm), with my team having Blair Walsh against Rammtallica's Adrian Peterson (Cause no Packers are going to win a title this year...)
PS. if Hawks keep up this hammering of the Cardinals then if Vikings win will play Seahawks in Minnesota (Packers vs Redskins in Washington), if the Packers WIN, it'll be Vikes vs Packers at Lambeau back to back weeks (Hawks vs Skins in Washington)
Congratulations Jono - you really smashed it the last month of the season & deserve the title. I think your team is going to be strong for a long time as well so it is going to be difficult for us all to catch up.
Thanks for all your time & effort in running things as well, really appreciate it. Not sure what to do with my life now that FF is over for the season.
Yeah cheers Jono.
Looking forward to the playoffs and just being able to enjoy the game without cursing players for scoring or not scoring.
well done Jono. Enjoy that number 10 pick next season.
He will still pick better with 10th pick that half of us with higher picks :P
Thanks Guys, delighted to take the win this season, hoping I can build from where I am going forwards, as for draft picks, not really sure whether I will pick better than anyone else...my picks in 2015 Rookie Draft
1. Nelson Agholor, 2. Devin Funchess, 3. Duke Johnson, 4. Cameron Artis-Payne, 5. Ty Montgomery
Not sure that any of those picks have panned out at this point in time...still some hopes though, especially with the Carolina pair :D
Hope to get an email out later today with some requests for votes for the end of year awards which I'll post in here with a complete rundown during Superbowl Week.

so who wants Larry Fitzgerald?
LOL just for that last 70yd run?
I would, but am concerned that if they win the Superbowl he might think about retirement...(Seriously)
So now that teams are decided and we have Broncos v Panthers for the Super Bowl. I have booked two booths at Four Kings for the game, it is booked under Matt - Yellowfever and you're all welcome.
I'll probably be there from 10.30-11am and remember it's a public holiday thanks to Waitangi Day!
I'll aim to be there around the same time as Yakcall, looking forward to it....Gooo Panthers :P
Will create a new thread at some point, but just wondering if there would be any interest if I set up a fantasy baseball league. Could be a re-draft or keeper league (probably won't bother with a full dynasty as rookies generally take a few years to come through each major league teams system).
