[A11dAtP0w3R]

Another absolutely disgusting win. This team cant even tank right.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

About time one of my rookie RBs did something too, I have enough of them, who would have guessed it would an undrafted one.

Mitchell to starter next week. 1.3 points incoming

 

[Chism]

I look at my score and my roster and just cry mainly!

Even my better players are just being total Spuds.

I was rapt with my Rookie RB in Achane…… Next minute IR for you after going nuts.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

3 in a row, taking down 7-2 teams, im talkin' playoffs

 

[Chism]

I would just like a week where i dont cop an early injury and/or have more monster scores tallied up on me.

My teams scores against me must be the highest in the league. WTF is with these days out for mediocre players as soon as i roll into town?? It is becoming a joke now.

Defense

2. Jeremiah Owosu-Koramoah (GIN) 16.0
1. Derwin James (GIN) 15.0

Stars return to some form, and keep themselves in with a shot for the division and playoffs. Getting 21pts from a Kicker is a massive help. Gins season has fallen in a heap, and only has pride to play for at this point.

A commanding win over their main challenger, is anyone able to stop the Berserkers 7-game win streak?? Assassins in two weeks, giant-killer BFC the week after most likely chances. Haze still a game clear for the WC if the aspirations for the division don't work out.

Army still pushing for the division and playoff spot, a wk13 matchup against the Broncos will be critical. Dolphins could be done after this week if results don't go their way.

Defense

2. Keanu Neal (VAN) 12.0
1. DaRon Bland (VAN) 11.0

After a blip in Wk9, Assassins roar back with a big score and a big win. Two more will clinch the division and a playoff spot. Really can't wait for that juicy Wk12 matchup! Vandals still thereabouts, but has a tough run and would at least need to split the two remaining games against the Broncos.

Bismarck FC 228.7 def. Pandas Broncos 182.2

2. Bobby Wagner (PAN) 18.5
1. Fred Warner (BFC) 14.5

Still maintaining the over under, very impressive inconsistency. That being said, the FC is well and truly in the WC hunt, just need to keep on winning. Brioncos still travelling ok, but a loss this week would make things very interesting.

2. Jamin Davis (GOB) 16.0
1. Nick Bosa (CHC) 14.0

Two under-achievers vomit up couple of high scores in what wound up as the game of the week. Both sitting on the bottom of their respective divisions, but neither out of WC contention just yet.

Dolphins pull one out, riding Khalil Mack turning back the clock.Haze reeling, three straight losses have them siiting on the outer looking in at playoffs. Still enough games left to steal both the division and Wildcard.

Broncos another to lose three straight, and a promising season is now looking fairly shaky with Beads Army and Vandals breathing down his neck. Broncos V Army this week is huge.

Army still fighting and have kept themselves in this season. Chasers currently hold pick 2, but are competing still, still an extreme outside chance of a playoff berth. One loss is curtains in 2023.

Stars are the form team of BETA winning three straight, and looking the team to clinch WC. Gobsmackers still a chance for the WC, but need a win against Gin this week who’s found some form recently.

2. TJ Watt (ARA) 13.0
1. Cairo Santos (HED) 12.0

Berserkers back on track after last weeks mishap, and maintain a one-game lead over the Stars in the division. With the still dangerous BFC on deck,there’s no guarantees. Assassins take the L, but have officially won the division, and now go through the motions until PLayoffs.

2. Danielle Hunter (BFC) 17.0
1. Jaquan Brisker (BFC) 13.0

Gin taking campaigners down likes it’s Week 1-3, remarkable return to form looking to ruin some seasons. Technically still a playoff chance. The FCs 4-game win streak comes two an end and hands the Assassins the division.One game behind the Stars for WC with Berserkers looking to spoil.

 

[BeinPurplenGreen]

Ah yes, fuey finally gets his weekly summary up in the same week the games were actually played, instead of 3 weeks later, I has a win, and dear Sally is happy...

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Bloody Hitler , crushing my dreams with his super squad

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

The Stafford and Baker trade was great for you J Shuttlesworth , see, you win plenty of trades. No more Mr Nice Guy from me moving forward

Defense
3. TJ Watt (ARA) 18.0
2. Jack Gibbens (FHZ) 14.0
1. Evan McPherson (FHZ) 13.0

Haze not giving up without a fight, handing one-time Championship favourite Assassins their second straight loss. Haze will definitely need Browning to keep up this form in place of Joey B if they're to be any chance, while the Assassins are looking a little shaky. Thankfully, division is wrapped up so they'vr got the next two weeks to figure it all out.

Purple Vandals 230.4 def. Chevys Chasers 193.7

Defense
3. Ernest Jones (VAN) 13.5
1.5. Nate Landman (VAN) 11.5
1.5. DaRon Bland (VAN) 11.5

Vandals doing what they need to do to stay in it, two 40-bombs will generally help that. Two games to go, two games back, just has to keep winning. Chasers now eliminated from playoff contention.

2. Jessie Bates (TCS) 15.0

Stars solidify their grasp on a playoff spot, but still fighting for the division. A win this week against the Assassins will almost seal the last playoff spot.

Pandas Broncos 236.5 def. Beads Army 164.4

1. Trey McBride (PAN) 22.9

Defense
3. Bobby Wagner (PAN) 18.0
2. Alex Highsmith (PAN) 17.0
1. Charvarious Ward (PAN) 16.5

The win here gives Panda one hand on the division crown, giving him a 2-game break on both Beads Army and the Vandals. A win this week against the Chasers will secure it, but probably wouldn't want to forget to fix your team before TNF... Beads relying on Chaser to beat Broncos, and a whole lotta luck to grab the WC.

Hedeby Berserkers 257.8 def. Bismarck FC 192.8
Offense
3. Dak Prescott (BFC) 37.0

Defense
3. Kwity Paye (HED) 15.0
1.5. EJ Speed (HED) 13.0
1.5. Quinnen Williams (HED) 13.0

Dominant win, huge points on the bench, 9-4 equal best record in the league. You'd think the Berserkers would be safe within the division, but history says Jem division championships never go so smoothly. Berserkers looking to buck the trend, a win vs Gobsmackers will guarantee a playoff spot at least. Big stakes for BFC V Haze this week, loser is OUT.

ConstantGin 192.4 def. Galactic Gobsmackers 145.6
Offense

Defense
3. Antoine Winfield Jr. (GIN) 25.0
2. Josh Allen (GIN) 20.0
1. Will Anderson Jr. (GOB) 13.0

Due to previous results, this ended up being a dead rubber, but Gin's 5th win marks his best season in BETA to date. Galactic looking forward to 2024.

Congrats J Shuttlesworth and panda2com for making the championship game.

We will crown a 1st time champion for the first time since 2019!

More importantly, what's the draft order

Interesting change in performance for some from that which the site predicted after the draft...

Oh well, like my other leagues team Crapped the bed when it matters.

Good luck to the finalists.

Tanking investigation into Chism , or just drop him to the bottom of the first round now if you cant be bothered fuey

 

[Constantgin]

No need for investigate me for tanking actually put a real effort into this season. Caused a few upsets which was good.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Pick 4, not bad tho. I can work with that.

You know everything is transparent right? Go back through every result and games in which opponents seem to go crazy against me scoring 240+ nearly every week early on and tell me who i could of started to beat them?

Kupp and Metcalf killed me at WR all season not to mention my RBs who seemed to play injured all season with Achane early my only one performing well until he then copped a chunk of the season on the sideline.

By all means actually look at who i started and what options i had before looking at a chart and accusing me of tanking. Not once did i start a non playing player in any week and was very active on the waiver wire trying to replace injured players with the left over scraps available.

I don't think anyone was really implying tanking mate, it's all good.

I do think we should all admire this fantastic graph though, for at least a few more days...
