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.
Money Leagues first ("Show me the money")
Fantasy Football Players Championship (www.theFFPC.com) Main Event League #58 "I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid" Loss (7-2) (1st in H2H, dropped to 4th in total points) This was a tough loss by .6 points when PHI DEF could not get a sack on Cutler on MNF.

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)

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 7-4 (overall 59-39-1)
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.
