Just a heads up, as clearly the commish is asleep at the wheel again…
There are three games tomorrow (TG day): Vikings v Lions 12.30, Skins V Cowboys 4.30 and Steelers v Colts 8.30. All times EST.
The onus is on all franchises to be aware of the fixtures for the players on their franchises every week.
The onus is not on the commish to ensure that complete fucking idiots can manage to check this on their own.
Of course a top, top coach looks at the opposition line up on a game by game basis. You want to neutralise his weapons to the extent possible and tweak your own lineup accordingly. For example, if his QB is likely to have a new favored passing target for the upcoming game week due to injury/suspension then you might try to pick this receiver up on waivers (if available). This can ensure you’re also accumulating points by virtue of your opponent’s QB expertise. You might change your D too if they’re coming up against some offensive players on your opponent’s team and you fear they may cause damage.
You should also check the match ups for your players and your opponents to see what suits your squad and how you can counteract where he’s likely to earn lots of points. To pick your own team in a vacuum is very naive. I’d never do that and it’s just a pity I didn’t have the time to compete this season - I only take part in something if I can give it my all and that means devoting hours to scouting your opponent on a weekly basis.

The cunt who couldn’t hack it in his own league is now doling out advice… you couldn’t make it up. As for the time excuse, he could have lineups set in three leagues while he was typing that raimeis.
Wonderful contribution from captain obvious.
How do you prevent your opposition from scoring big though? This was the crux of my point. In theory you could score 200 points every week and lose every game to teams that never get near that score any other week. The match ups are totally random,
You call the match ups totally random yet you can see your match up in front of you every week. It’s up to you to adapt accordingly to outscore what’s put in front of you - your recurring whine is akin to complaining about losing a football match 4-3 and that it’s so unfair because another match was decided 1-0.
It’s not even remotely like that. In all your years playing this game have you ever had a tactic that didn’t involve scoring as much as you could on any given Sunday? Suggestions otherwise are idiotic, you cannot influence how much your opponent scores, the comparisons with real sports are hilarious. 
Many times - I’ve regularly picked players who wouldn’t necessarily score more points than someone else on my own roster but whose inclusion would be to the detriment of my opponent. If you can’t see how or why this could happen then you’re destined to be a basement division dweller for the long haul.
Sorry mate, there are no circumstances where a guy who scores less points is working to the detriment of my opponent. If you believe otherwise then it’s lucky for you that you’ve taken a sabbatical, it seems nonsensical but I’d like for you to flesh it out when you have a chance. A guy on your lineup scoring less than someone on your bench helps? 
That’s patently untrue. For example, I might plump for a WR who’s on the same team as my opponent’s QB but who might not accumulate as many points as one of my other WRs. Any time he catches a pass, in particular a TD reception, it neutralizes the points gained by my opponent’s QB. Better for him to get, say, 15 points than my other receiver to get, say, 18. I’ve also specifically included flex players because they’re taking on my opponent’s D even though alternative options were likely to score a bit higher. But the flex player’s contribution even though slightly more modest in individual terms has the ability to reduce my opponent’s D score. There’s numerous instances of where similar tactics could validly apply. I don’t think you’re thinking about the permutations enough or putting enough effort into your opposition scouting.
Don’t mind him lad, he’s either drunk or delusional or both. What these clowns are expressing is a textbook example of being fooled by randomness, claiming that there was some skill involved when it’s 90% dumb luck. It’s like a drunk walking home from the pub to his house that is five minutes away, and when he finally arrives at his door two hours later after staggering along every street in the town, declares himself a genius.
His last post actually makes me think he’s playing a different game to me, in his game there is a parallel universe where a receiver who scores 15 points is doing better work for me than the 18 points I could have had by playing a guy on my bench, hard to believe he’s bothered to put that much work into two wind up posts and he hasn’t got a half hour a week to put his genius into practice.

I’m finding it hard to see any circumstances besides a raft of injuries to his players how I can beat @carryharry this week so I might as well say this before Theo Riddick begins the massacre in less than an hour.
Well done mate, all those times I was dissing your team was just to give you the kick up the hole you needed, it’s a solid lineup and the playoffs will be poorer without them.
And happy thanksgiving to our stateside members.
Thanks for the heads up pal but I had already and knew the games today didn’t matter to me.
Shepard could be my undoing this week
Get fucked you cunt. Riddick had a mare.
