FF2012: GWJFFL Week 1

0.05 points from going undefeated across three leagues. Those close losses sting.

An impressive showing for my platinum team to start but never fear, I will find a way to screw it all up.

Interesting. Only 3 of the top 12 kickers from week 1 were owned in Gold. Time for some upgrades people.

Woot! Squeeked out the win, despite an anemic performance by my two San Diego starters!!!

Is it too late to request a transfer to a division that is not filled with sharks? Like the one with Boogle and *Legion*?

Won my first game in 5 out of 7 leagues.

The 2 games I lost? GWJ Silver and Dynasty.

7 leagues? I feel like 2 keeps me busy and 3 would be about my limit.

Boom! Headshot!

I hope my team has that much offense all year long. I could have put up 200 points if I played the bench a little better.

What this means is yall need to start drafting kickers sooner. Like, the 3rd round. DO IT!

I should have gone with my gut and done this.

Man, I don't remember such high scores from so many teams last year!

Ya this year is the most leagues I've ever been in.

I'll be cutting that number in half next year.

I have 3 and I'm quite happy. For the last 2 seasons I've only had 1 league and it drove me crazy... I basically want every play in every game to have some meaning and 1 league doesn't cut it. Makes Red Zone watching much more interesting when every highlight they show matters.

So thanks to Grump and GWJ for letting me into this league.

Im going to run 4 WR's in the next game. I just don't trust the NYG faith in David Wilson just yet and my backup RB's are terrible.

You should totally play your backup RBs. In flex too. And you should bench MJD.

I predict you DESTROY me next week.

3 leagues is the sweet spot for me, too. I'd honestly rather be in 2, but given the groups I play with in each one I'm very happy to keep at 3 and still be somewhat manageable.

Heh, we shall see. I think my projected score is a tad inflated.

Pretty good start to learning the ropes of FF for the first time.

I used to play in 3 but just play in Platinum now. Much nicer not having to decide which league is more important to you when you have one player playing on your team in one league and that same player playing against you in another.

Yes, welfare went up this year. Blame Obama.

On to week 2.
