I was wondering this too. Would be a bit awkward to step on the team bus. I'd dare say that NS would give him an audience in London. Be gentlemanly about it and plenty of feedback. SG won't be too gutted to skip the bus home.

We're barely intending to stay in the Premier League at this point...

It won't be pretty but we're in the survival game and I'd prefer our odds in that scenario.

Exactly. Steady the ship. Play as a team. Be hard to beat. Organise that sorry excuse for a defence. And play the forwards to their strengths.

We won't get an elite manager. We are 17th in the league having scored half the goals of Erling Haaland. Who would want that job?

It will be Dyche and we will be pleasantly surprised by it

Trying my best not to agree with this...

Agree. Delusional to think an elite manager will end up here.

The disappointing thing is that the next manager will come in, change the style (necessary) and have to spend the next couple of transfer windows reforming the squad, so we'll be standing still at best. None of the big name managers will fancy that challenge. It's a failure of management entirely. Sean Dyche might be the only one keen on it.

This is the result of Purslow's ego. He needs to go with Gerrard.

Bit of a shit week all around really. Who'd have thunk it?!

Urrrgh my team sucks

If my memory serves me correctly, any player that has played won't be traded so the trade will probably be delayed. I won't guarantee it but I think you can rest easy.

The reason why I'm pro points per carry (albeit small amounts) is the example I gave. A RB with 15 carries had the same amount of points as a WR with three catches. Yards aside, it's not the same effort and the RB should be recognised imho. Happy to put it to a vote, at the appropriate time, as we should.

Interesting thoughts. Whilst the RB position isn't what it used to be in terms of an offensive game plan, there are still some very good RBs in the league. In terms of fantasy, RBs aren't being scored as favourably as WRs. As an example, this week I scored 11.60 points for Najee Harris (15 carries, 56 yards, 1 TD; 3 Rec, 5 yards; 1 fumble knocked a couple of points off) and 12.90 points for Drake London (3 Rec, 54 yards, 1 TD). NH is clearly doing a lot more work for the same amount of points and that doesn't feel right to me. Looking at the scoring, RBs and WRs are the same in terms of distance related points however, WRs get 0.5 points per reception whereas there is no carry points for RBs. @Beastmix To avoid amending the distance scoring, perhaps for next season, 0.25 points per carry should be awarded to RBs? Using my example, NH would have received 17.35 points (+3.75 for carries, +2 adding the fumble back) and Drake London 12.90 which feels more reflective of the effort each player made. Example 100 yard game with TD: RB: 20 carries (5 points), 100 yards (10 points), bonus (1.5 points), TD (6 points) = 22.5 points (17.5 points currently) WR: 7 Receptions (3.5 points), 100 yards (10 points), bonus (1.5 points), TD (6 points) = 21 points *Option to increase the points per reception to 1 but if a RB is also catching a lot of passes, this might quickly create an imbalance.

On the flipside, I shouldn't be 3-0, but thanks to a fortunate schedule and playing the waiver wire, I've managed to paper over the cracks.

They should be 3-0. It's as feasible that they could be 0-3! The offence is purring nicely under JB, but man that defence provides no reassurances.

What in the world are these trade proposals? Pull the other one @maqroll, Burrow for Julio Jones? Had a beer is it?

Browns went full Browns this week... except they won! Cade York FTW!

@Hornso Can't deny I'm feeling pretty smug right now

First, check your emails for an invite. When/if you've accepted, it will be in the app under the home button (I'm using Android). It looks like a house.

Looking forward to another season of being decidedly average!

You're welcome

I wouldn't read too much into the ratings, the projections aren't based on our league scoring (so far as I know). Your strategy is probably sound if you feel good about it.

Going to be an interesting season for sure. Feels like the value has spread out a bit, hopefully that's good for competition.
