Hey, AE...question. In the playoff thing, do you pick a new roster each week? And do we each get the 50 points every week, or what? :-k

Yes, and yes. You'll have to set your roster 3 times; Wild Card Weekend (this weekend), Divisional Weekend, and then Championship Weekend + the Super Bowl. (After the second week, you'll want to fill your team with players who you think will be in the Super Bowl.)

Perfect, thanks AE! \:D/

And no we shouldn’t have ‘keepers’ that’s not fair.

I take it multiple people can pick the same players.

My Wildcard Week lineup:

Drew Brees, Eli Manning
Pierre Thomas, Mark Ingram
Hakeem Nicks, Marques Colston
Jimmy Graham
John Kasay
Saints D

Exactly $50

Just realized I got no points for Ingram last week because he was injured. It’s amazing I still tied for first.



My Divisional Week lineup:

Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers
John Kuhn, Darren Sproles
Jordy Nelson, Marques Colston
Jimmy Graham
John Kasay
Saints D

Exactly $50



The salary cap is stupid, it took me forever to get a usable lineup because I kept going 8 cents over.

-- 17 Jan 2012 02:08 pm --

I dropped to third. My roster was all Packers and Saints, both of which lost. :P

-- 20 Jan 2012 01:23 pm --

My Conference Week and Super Bowl lineup:

Eli Manning, Joe Flacco
Brandon Jacobs, Ray Rice
Hakeem Nicks, Victor Cruz
Travis Beckum
Billy Cundiff
New York Giants D

Exactly $50

-- 24 Jan 2012 11:32 am --

I stayed in third.

Going to be missing three players for the Super Bowl.

Yeah, the salary cap was ridiculous, I couldn’t get the team I wanted for the final lineup.

Finished in third place.

I'm afraid the season is over. If we decide to play again next year, I'll be sure to post the rules. :)
