Week 9 Results FFGuidebook.com after Elias Stat change!!!! OAK DEF loses one of their sacks!

The fantasy gods favored me in week 9. I lost my FFPC Main Event game by .6 points when PHI DEF could not sack Jay Cutler once. Even after he fell down they could not tackle him for a loss. Well turns out the official stat changes for week 9 included a ruling whereby OAK Def (whom my opponent started) lost one of their two sacks. Seems Tim "Terrific" Tebow reached the line of scrimmage and thus it was ruled a rush for no gain and not a sack. So OAK went from 2 sacks to 1. And wait for it.........I won in the game by .4.
Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good.

So now Week 9 revised...

11 leagues this year. In my defense 5 of the 11 are Expert leagues and the remaining 6 are money leagues. One is the high stakes Fantasy Football Players Championship (www.theFFPC.com). Lets see how I did last week. Follow along by using the links to each league.

Pros vs Joes FFPC League 2 "Caspers Ghost Hunters" (Draft Masters) Win (10-1 this week) 1st place overall (based on points) (and 2nd overall out of 96 teams)
http://leagues.myffpc.com/cgi-bin/welcome_page?UID=q7ko74ga3116fg3wq991ak2egp3p15l&LN=93779&USER=908283&EID1=19316&OPER=1770

Note the Draft Masters leagues are draft and forget with no trades/adds or drops. The computer optimizes your lineup each week. So it is essentially a draft and forget league with no options to correct for injuries or status changes.

Experts League Outcomes 4-1

Overall out of 11 leagues 8-3 (overall 60-38-1)
Conclusion: I have said it throughout my FF career. I play better in leagues where luck is less and more skill is utilized. I play better in leagues with PPR, flex players (2 better than 1) and where active management is required (i.e add/drops allowed and the owner has to set a lineup-as opposed to DraftMaster leagues where no lineup is submitted. Historically I do better where my skills can be used to add better players and I think I do a better job at start/sit decisions than most.
