Just because I'm anxious and because it hasn't shown up yet, who's in your lineup?
QB
Brett Favre
Marc Bulger
RB
Edgerrin James
Stephen Jackson
WR
Javon Walker
Ashley Lelie
DEF
San Diego
Ah, who needs defense, anyway? They were cheap, I couldn't pass that up. Your turn.
First of all, I didn't put much effort into this.
QB Mar Bulger
QB Ben Roethlisberger
RB Ahman Green
RB Steven Jackson
WR Isaac Bruce
WR Wayne Chrebet (wtf, I don't remember doing that.. ah well)
D Pittsburg
Hmmm, 3 rams, and chrebet? Yikes.
Bulger
Pennington
Martin
Bell
Stockley
Lelie
Green Bay.
Looks like both my QB's will be playing another week, but I have a feeling I'll need to change a RB and WR for next week's games.
Take care all.
Manning
Pennington
Stokely
Pinkston
Dillon
Jackson
Atlanta
Ah, Manning. Worth every penny. Thanks for playing, everyone.
What will you do when the Patriots and Steelers win next weekend?
Tell me with a straight face that 4 games out of Manning and Pennington isn't worth 5 out of Brady and Rothlisburger.
I'm just sayin'. You'd have to replace both of your quarterbacks that way.
My Team was...
QB Culpepper
QB Brees
RB Curtis Martin
RB Droughns
WR Burleson
WR Driver
DEF San Diego
Of course, looking at it, I'm going to have to replace several players this week... which means I'll effectively be screwed in later weeks. That's what happens when teams expected to win lose.
I don't think QB is a position you can afford to skip a week on. I'll use all 4 trades on that if I have to.Quote:

Green Bay
So I sucked big time and o well.
I swapped in Dillon for Bell, Curtis for Lelie, and Atlanta for the Packer's D, and I think either Pennington or Bulger will get one more week, so I'm saving my last three trades for another receiver, running back and QB after this coming round.
Take care all.
For the purposes of fantasizing about what might have been, here's the best possible lineup you could have fielded as of the first week of games:
QB Peyton Manning
QB Daunte Culpepper
RB Tatum Bell
RB LaMont Jordan
WR Reggie Wayne
WR Kevin Curtis
DEF Minnesota
This dream team combination would have set you back only $34.34M, and would have netted you 2740 points, if you somehow had the vision needed to pick this team. This will most probably change as the weeks pass, because the number of trades is limited, unless you feel like buying them. With limited trades, choosing players that last more than week may or may not be more important. As least one of these guys is already out. Some of them are no-name guys I only know of because I did this. Yeesh.
All my players won so at the most I'll have to use 5 trades next week. My goal is to have a full lineup from here on out, and I should be able to do that if I manage correctly.
I'll be honest in that I'm not putting all that much effort into this. I didn't realize you could trade later on so I pretty much screwed myself already.
