You know that song “The Boys are Back in Town?” Of course you do. Whatever band wrote that song wrote it about The League. Thin Lizzy or something like that. I’m not going to look it up. We doing it live!
The League is back and it’s back in a big way. Ten teams, half PPR, one QB. Fantasy played the right way.

What’d you think I wasn’t gonna find time to do the write-up this week? I almost didn’t, but luckily I ran out of work to do at 3 on a Friday which is great. I’m gonna take a nap after this. We had A LOT of Double Whammies this week, which doesn’t really mean anything but we like to see everyone making good moves. Unfortunately, there will still be an Ugly section this week because there were some blunderful blunders made as well. Let’s talk to it:

Just kidding, we miss it though! What is there an election going on or something? Nobody wants to only read this, it’s a supplement to the game recaps either in podcast or article form. By the way, who’s working on the article analyzing all the trades from this season? And does anyone want to write this for me next week? I promise there aren’t a lot of players who got bidded on and I’ll even send you the charts. Let me know! Anyway, let’s get it started in here:

Sup sup. I worked a little later than usual today and we have a pretty short list of offers for this week, so let’s get right into it:
The Good: DOUBLE WHAMMY ALERT! Abie, Abie, Abie, the moves are off the chart, you’re killin’ it. If you’ve read this column before, you know how I feel about the savvy defense streams, and this is up there with some of the best. The Cowboys are a new Opponent people are looking for in a defense week-to-week, and the divisional matchup paid off in dividends for HOCKEYPRO69. Six bucks is a modest but not crazy offer for a player you might immediately drop, as shown by Andrew V’s competing $3 bid. As you can see above, big point returns in both categories. To top it off, he had a big win this week, and this is one of the steps he took that solidified it.

You can’t make this stuff up, I was three paragraphs into this week’s write-up when I got a notification on my laptop screen that says “Your computer is being restarted by IT.” Son of a bitch, I hope this doesn’t delete everything I was writing. It did though, so here we are. It’s too late to do that all again (what I had was basically a love letter to Brendan’s and my team (or our FAAB moves at least) and a lot of good jokes that will never see the light of day.

…And we are back to our regularly scheduled Wednesday release date. Boy, last week was definitely something else. As I think Beans said in the GroupMe, “one of the worst weeks The League has ever seen.” Not for me, but I’ll dive into that in a bit. Not for Brent either, congrats on 6-0 and on beating my bid for the Dolphins defense by a dollar. I’ll need that $7 later since I used a good chunk of my FAAB this week elsewhere. Might as well get into it:

What’s hannenin’? It’s Friday, congratulations to all on surviving another week. You probably don’t quite remember what happened last Tuesday and how it played out this past weekend, so I’m here to break it down. In short: not too much. I have a few moves to talk about, you can take a look at the rest at the top and at the bottom, or just look through the Recent Activity tab on the League page. Here we go…
Continue reading “Th3 Wir3: W33k Fiv3”Four weeks in. Four weeks of bliss if you’re me or Brent. Four weeks of agony if you’re Andrew or Ryan. Four weeks of varying feelings for everyone else. There is just nothing like The League.
Me v. Abie

Hey fellas, here we are again! We had another week of heroics and heartbreak, and I’ve made it my job to zoom in on the misfit players looking for glory and the owners who for better or worse spend their precious resources on them.
This week had some interesting developments; with the official introduction of COVID-19 into the NFL, players were being added and dropped but still secured on the “COVID IR” which has confused some but surprised none. Week 5 games seem to still be up in the air, so expect some more craziness in next week’s column (if the season lasts that long).
