Hello guys. I am here to help you in fantasy basketball because it is the start of the NBA season. I already graduated from this game so I will share you my playing technique. I know there are people who have like fifteen trophies or more but I have won two titles in one year so it is up to you to hear my advice. I'd say the draft day more or less defines your season especially leagues with minimal trade activity. But stranger things have happened like injuries, benching, coaching adjustments and such so all is not lost.
My style is I do not care much about the categories that are up to chance meaning Field Goal %, Free Throw % and Turnovers when picking the players cause on a good day, bad shooting guys can shoot on a high clip. In a standard league, there are 9 categories including the three above so I focus my team on the remaining cats - Points, 3Points, Rebounds, Assists, Steals and Blocks. I named my team once the Bricks N Dimes, cause like I said I do not care much for percentages so I picked awful shooters who are multi-faceted; and dimes cause I like the assist category.
I also put premium on the hard to get statistics like steals and blocks. Because normally managers tend to pick the high scoring players so I think in reverse cause there are versatile players who fill up the stat sheets.
The chart below is a helpful tool cause you estimate how much stats your players will produce. I forget where I get this. For the uninitiated its a chart of how many games the teams will play in weekly matchups and from this you derive how many games your players play. Like you feel confident when your top players play 4 times a week. That kind of thing.
High risk, high reward
High risk, low reward
Low risk, high reward
Low risk, low reward
These are the principal concepts floated around by fellow managers in dealing for players. You watch some scouting and prepare for Excel files. I won two championships the same year - one in Rotisserie or Roto and one in Head to Head.
Basically I have same lineup for the two teams. In roto you must know that there are maximum 82 games for every position so planning is more important. I trailed half the tournament but I know I was doing fine cause others they were maxing their games while I pick my games carefully. So after the midway season of the NBA, I get the lead and never relinquished it.
The Head to Head League is a contrast, because there is a playoff here unlike the roto league. I have to survive three 5-4 series matchups to win the crown. During the finals, I even congratulated my opponent because the score stands 5-4 and I was ahead barely by one assist in the last category. He gets another assist, I lose cause he has the higher seeding meaning I lose the tiebreak. And his only remaining active player is a point guard throwing dimes. So the halftime of the game, I gave up and congratulated my opponent. Holy shit! The player gets benched in the second half. I won. My opponent writes a rant on busersports about a Cautionary Tale.
My team is the Mach3 Nomads.
