Informal Friday open thread: How’s your fantasy soccer season going?

Welcome to the Informal Friday open thread, the place we enterprise away from unique Seattle Seahawks soccer discuss and veer off-topic.

This week’s theme is a primary one and it could embody Seahawks gamers to an extent, nevertheless it’s however value a shot.

For a number of years, Area Gulls has had a “no one cares about your fantasy football team” mindset. It’s why you don’t see fantasy-related articles on right here and we’ve saved spamming sport threads about fantasy soccer to a minimal.

On this event, that is the thread the place you’ll be able to inform everybody how your fantasy season has gone. Most leagues are within the playoffs (or the common season finale with a two-week postseason), and I’m positive many are down dangerous after Cooper Kupp’s 0-catch efficiency in opposition to the San Francisco 49ers.

I’m in 4 leagues this season, and I’ve solely made the playoffs in one among them. Fittingly, it’s the one the place I didn’t spend any forex to take part. It’s been a season of accidents, a scarcity of operating again productiveness, and questionable bench choices. In different phrases, a traditional season for me.

My “best” season is making the playoffs in a Sleeper league (as “50 Shades of Jonas Gray” at 6-8 with one of many best bits of fantasy GMing I’ve ever pulled off. I even waived Justin Tucker and picked up Jason Myers whereas Wil Lutz was on a bye. Clutch.

The whole lot else has been a catastrophe, together with a Yahoo league (“Movin’ The Chain Chomps”) the place I began 1-7, gained 5 in a row, and forgot to bench George Pickens when he was dominated inactive.

As a normal coverage, I keep away from drafting Seahawks gamers for concern of being a jinx. I believe it’s principally occurred to Kenneth Walker III, whom I did draft within the league you see within the screenshot. It hasn’t occurred but to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who’s been a savior in my Yahoo league even when I’m headed for a comfort bracket.

“Byron Murphy’s Law” missed the playoffs at 8-6 in an ESPN league resulting from solely 4 groups making the postseason in a 12-team league. I misplaced on a tiebreaker and haven’t picked up any Seahawks there.

Lastly, “Wake Me Up Before You Bobo” by no means had an opportunity in a league run by a former schoolmate of mine. I’m tenth in a 12-team league and I’m sentenced to competing for the Rest room Bowl within the comfort bracket.
