    Can we also ditch BK8 after this season for a blue chip sponsor?

    Imagine looking back at the history of the clubs 150th year, with a beautiful kit made by Adidas, that's soiled by a BK8 logo! :puke:

    *Not to mention the underwhelming new crest!

    Was REALLY close for the playoff spots, in the end. Somebody missed out via 'points for', I think. Everyone else was 1 or 2 wins off. Competitive! 

    Thanks for a great - and relatively drama free - regular season, all!

    Guilty!

    Damn it.

    Except me.

    Highest scoring loser yet again.

    Even the team with no manager won this week with two rostered players not active. 
     Just shows how much of this is pure luck.

    Hasn't it always been pure luck? Just this year the luck is more evenly distributed. You have no control over the players performance and we've all left points on the bench. It is what it is. 

    Admittedly, your season has been super unfortunate. Not seen one like it for a long while.

    This is the information I was trying to obtain.

    As you say, we only made minor tweaks, so was curious as to what the issue was.

    Sorry, I didn't mean to seem like I was targeting your comment, more so referencing your point.

    So far as I can see, the league is well balanced. Seven of the 12 teams with the highest points scored, are separated by just 70 points. Aside from some teams falling foul of 'any given Sunday', the scoring seems to be resulting in a competitive league.

    Tough year all round after the changes, not as enjoyable as previous years, that's for sure.

    Were there any particular changes making things less enjoyable?

    We can always review things for next season.

    I don't get this argument that the changes have had an impact. We've removed one position (flex RB) and made some decimal changes to PPR scoring. The same number of players still exist. 

    Maybe we should blame the players performances before our own? Many, many players have underperformed this season, many others have exceeded expectations. Just one of those things that requires research and being on the ball with the waiver wire.

    If the changes are truly to blame, say why and provide the evidence, not just the feelings.

    Some people get players in front of me on the waiver wire, then DONT PLAY THEM 😡😳

    Ha ha, oh yeah? Waiting to see if he plays first cause I'm not going to make a decision on 7 carries alone. But at least I could if I wanted to... 🤣

    I have 4 viable RB's. 

    I'd love to start 3 this week, but I have to start 2 TE instead.

    Not everyone can say that they have the ability to play 3 RBs and that's where the imbalance is. Almost everyone can play 3 decent WRs.

    If you have 3 spots, some people draft 4 or 5 RBs and the gap is wider still. 2 spots and theoretically you could get by with 3 RBs; then there are enough for everyone.

    The alternative if going back to full flex, is to revisit the scoring for RBs (or all positions) as inferred by @Brumerican

    We are a 12 team league, if we want every team to be competitive, 2 RBs feels like a reasonable compromise.

    I must admit I miss the full WR/TE/RB Flex option. Maybe we can revisit it next preseason.

    I don't. There just aren't enough good RBs in the league to justify a third RB slot whereas there are more than enough pass catchers. The current setup requires a bit more skill.

  12. Good to see how close the league is so far this season. No runaway leaders, no one team truly adrift. The games are close.

    A lot will happen over the coming weeks, but it bodes well and is an acknowledgment that we may have finally got the scoring mechanism right.
