American Football thread v4 - In here, it's always gameday - General

My team fell apart and ive gotten my cheeks clapped for most of the year.

Let me just say fucm that hyde trade

It's been a hot minute, but for those who haven't read it yet- just remember this is all you need to know about where the future of football is going.

a big thank you to the guy who left fucking melvin gordon and evan engram in, both of whom are injured, throwing the final game of the season and probably fucking me over on tiebreakers. thanks a ton, get fucked

Facepunch Fantasy Football Official Playoff Picture 1) Canadian National Team - (9-4) - Shitters Division Champion 2) Atlanta Falcons Blew 28-3 - (8-5) - Pissers Division Champion 3) Absolute Madmen - (7-6) - Wild Card #1 4) Boston Baba Booeys - (6-7) - Wild Card #2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5) Buffalo Rust Belts - (6-7) - eliminated 6) Pioneer Ten - (6-7) - eliminated 7) Strickland Propaniacs - (5-8) - eliminated 8) Gary's Sports Almanac - (5-8) - eliminated What a crazy finish! After a three way tie for the final wild card spot, the Boston Baba Booeys come out on top as the tie-breaking fourth seed! Since tiebreaking begins with Head-To-Head record, the Baba Booeys held a 2-0 record over the Buffalo Rust Belts, whereas Pioneer Ten split the season series 1-1 again the Belts. Since the Baba Booeys win on Head-To-Head record alone, no further tiebreakers are required! Fun Fact: If there had been a split tie in head-to-head record, the next tiebreak would have been intradivision record. In this scenario, the Buffalo Rust Belts and Pioneer Ten would be deadlocked at 3-3 in intradivision games, with the Baba Booeys automatically eliminated at 2-4. Since the two teams would now be tied in H2H AND intradivision record, it would move to the very final tiebreaker: Total Points Against. Pioneer Ten would win the final wild card spot with a TPA of 1368 to the Rust Belts' 1399. What a crazy finish!

pretty crazy how tight the entire league was this year

it was a totally fucking crazy finish. three way tie for the wild card? unreal. I spent all Sunday and Monday thinking my team had just shithoused themselves out of a playoff spot. I just did some really rudimentary math, and in order to make the playoffs, I needed ALL THREE other games to finish a specific way. if literally any matchup had gone the other way, I'd have lost on tiebreakers to Pioneer Ten and been out of the playoffs. ONWARDS TO MONS PUBIS

I demand a recount! But wow nice made each week exciting.

I checked every past season and this was indeed the closest season EVER. The two bottom teams finished 5-8. There was an incredible amount of parity in teams this year and never before have the wins been distributed so evenly. I mean just look at some of these previous standings: http://i65.tinypic.com/35830om.png http://i68.tinypic.com/2ivh4b5.png http://i68.tinypic.com/2ahtjdt.png in pretty much every single season, the worst teams had way lower wins. hell fuckin yeah folks proof that the FFFL is the best of all time

wow how did i manage to clinch the east jesus christ

I'm only going to say this once - be active in setting your line up or your team will be hard-deleted and someone else who actually gives a shit will gladly take your playoff spot. Do NOT leave injured players in your lineup, for the rest of this year and for any future seasons. This is a small league and we cannot afford to have people throwing games. You have plenty of time between the end of Monday Night Football and the start of Thursday Night Football to make major changes, and in most cases you have until 1pm on Sundays.

I got it. It won't happen again

i love you and i appreciate our friendship

thank u i appreciate u too <3 HOPEFULLY SOMEONE CARRIES FOURNETTE BECAUSE I WAS NOT EXPECTING THE TITS D TO BE THAT GOOD

I SAT AMARI COOPER IN MY MONEY PPR LEAGUE https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/109686/dbd25c20-f514-4186-bb97-d4d73175a288/image.png

BEARS TO THE SUPERBOWL BOYS

looks like it's gonna be me and the man @Ordo vying for the Mons Pubis Trophy....your ass is grass, and I'm gonna smoke it

I look forward to seeing how it ends. I really sucked at making my lineups, too much second guessing. Wild way to finish considering we were the wild cards.

WILD CARD GANG honestly I can't believe 6-7 was good enough to make the playoffs at all. a shocking amount of parity this year

Zach Ertz can blow it out his fucking dickhole, I swear to fuck, only in this goddamn league can I have four players put up 20+ points and STILL lose by 45. what the absolute fuck man

AHHHH fournette was ruled out while I was asleep ; n ;

someone dropped rogers and I thought he was going to carry me out of last place but i was so wrong

dak prescott puts up bullshit numbers in a meaningless game and not starting him is probably what's going to cost me the 45-point comeback to win the title we'll see what Andy Luck can do against Tennessee, my ass cheeks are clenched

God I am sweating bullets after Big Ben and Ertz disappointed. Probably done for.

i'm shitting out my ass watching the ESPN numbers....what a fuckin' crazy fantasy day. I thought I had you in the bag for SURE until CJ Anderson busted out 21 points...Justin Tucker and the Seahawks D/ST came through for you big today. Double digits for both specialist positions is massive.

Facepunch Fantasy Football 2018 Championship https://i.imgur.com/FCnGJOl.png After going down by 45 points in the first week of the final matchup, the Boston Baba Booeys overcame all odds to win the Mons Pubis Trophy by a score of 259-247. Though @Ordo jumped out to a quick start and fought valiantly, a Boston team led by Andy "Big Dick" Luck and Jordan Howard clawed their way back with three players reaching 20+ fantasy points in Week 17. It is a historic comeback that will never be forgotten for sure. This is my first time winning the trophy in my own league! What an exciting day. FFFL2018 Retrospective #1) @FFStudios - Boston Baba Booeys (6-7) The underdogs. They said it couldn't be done. The first team since 2012's Strickland Propaniacs lockout-shortened season to win the championship as the lowest wild card seed. The Baba Booeys were the definition of mediocrity in the regular season, and after losing five out of their last six games, their destiny was firmly out of their control as the league swung into Week 17. However, thanks to a miracle combination of losses, the Baba Booeys just barely squeaked into the playoffs after beating out several other 6-7 teams for the final wild card spot. After a nailbiter against the rookie-led Canadian National Team, the Baba Booeys rallied 45 points in the final leg of the championship game to complete the most improbable victory in ages. This is the first time in FFFL history that a team under .500 win percentage has won the Mons Pubis. https://i.imgur.com/Men4qZW.png #2) @Ordo - Absolute Madmen (7-6) The Madmen started off rocky, dropping three out of their first four games and losing critical backfield monster Le'veon Bell to a contract holdout. They turned the tide through the midway point of the season, racking up a four-game win streak through Week 7 and Week 10. Qualifying for the playoffs as the first wildcard team in the Shitters Division, they knocked out the #1 seed and crowd favorite Atlanta Falcons Blew 28-3 to secure a shot at the Mons Pubis. Though they started the game with a blaze of glory, putting up 150 points in Week 16 alone, they were unable to hold on as their lead was steadily chipped away. Nick Chubb and Derrick Henry were the team's two biggest offensive weapons, with CJ Anderson becoming an unlikely leader in the last leg of the season. #3) tacosrock10 - Canadian National Team (9-4) In their debut season, the Canadian National Team proved that they belong at the table with the American powerhouses. After snagging Saquon Barkley and Kareem Hunt in the fantasy draft, the Canadian National Team won the Shitters Division handily and locked in a playoff berth by Week 11. The loss of Kareem Hunt due to a domestic violence scandal proved to be too much to overcome however, and the Canadians lost a nailbiting first round matchup to noted rivals Boston Baba Booeys. Russell Wilson rushed for a touchdown in the their third place matchup against Atlanta Falcons Blew 28-3 and their efforts were rewarded with a podium finish. #4) @PILLS HERE! - Atlanta Falcons Blew 28-3 (8-5) This season, it wasn't the Atlanta Falcons blowing 28-3. The strongest team in the Pissers Division and the only of its kin to qualify for the playoffs was steadily outmatched by the Madmen despite a lower regular season record. Jared Goff's massive season helped propel a large portion of the team's success, but was not enough to avoid two straight losses in the playoffs to finish as the #4 team in the league. #5) @Discofex - Buffalo Rust Belts (6-7) The Rust Belts could have practically tasted a ticket to the postseason entering Week 17, but the tiebreaker gods did not agree. A team with high expectations levied on Philip Rivers and Keenan Allen, the Belts finished in a 3-way tie for the wild card, along with the Boston Baba Booeys and Pioneer Ten. Sadly, a loss to the Baba Booeys in the regular season put them behind on tiebreakers and the hearts of Buffalo fans were shattered. Far from a season to be upset over, the Rust Belts were a strong team and managed well. Winning only one of the last four games of the regular season made them lose control of their destiny however, and the coach will be keen to ensure a playoff lock next year. #6) LanaDelStingray - Pioneer Ten The Pioneers were pioneers in their first ever season, aiming to put up a winning record. Stiff competition in the Shitters Division all but dissolved that dream. Though TE Travis Kelce was expected to have a tangible impact, big losses to conference rivals put them far behind on tiebreakers and could not salvage a playoff chance despite winning all three of their last regular season contests. #7) @Propane Addict - Strickland Propaniacs Coach Hank Hill sold too much propane and not enough season tickets for the Propaniacs this season. Despite a roster marquee'd with all-star QB A.A. Ron Rodgers, an underwhelming statistical output often caused losses strung two to three in a row for Strickland. The foundation laid for the future, the Propaniacs have the talent necessary to make it to the Big Game next season. They held an impressive 4-2 record over their division rivals, which is something that they will hope to keep up in 2019 #8) Reroute To Remain - Gary's Sports Almanac Not much can be said other than the Almanac was not very accurate this year! The Sports Almanacs were the first team mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, a fact which gave other teams in their Pissers Division hope. Despite finishing in last place and the only team with a 5-8 record, the shocking amount of parity in the FFFL this season meant that Coach Gary had a chance to piece it together well into the midway point of the season. It just didn't come together, however, and Gary's Sports Almanac wins the wooden spoon.

Fun as always, see yall next season. As for playoffs, Who dat!

i'll see y'all next year! who dat!!

Rip season, it was a promising one when it started.
