ILH Fantasy Talk

time to draft suckers

spottie and me in a close one this week, I think he's gonna pull it out

Good match should come down to the last game or two. This season is hard with all these cancelations

usually this format doesn't lead to super close finishes (compared to fantasy football) but this week most of the categories are like a one-game difference

hey sey yahooo created a new category called IL+ which allows GTD, O and IR eligible players to go into so you can pick up an active player. So I'm going to replace our 4 IR slots with 4 IR+ slots and add one extra IR+... so we'll have 5 IR+ slots available.

I'll do it tonight after the games are done so people can wake up and make changes starting tomorrow morning.

anyone have issues with this?

nope but i have issues with you beating me right now

lol plenty of time left!

wouldn’t let me change the 4 IL slots so I just added two IL+ slots

Thanks Spottie. I think my IL has been full basically the whole season. It’s been a bit of a lost year for the Torch Passers, though Passer-in-chief LBJ and Passee Zion have both been producing at least

The number of centers I've gone through this year is really something. I tried to stock up on them but it wasn't enough.

centers is such a hard position in fantasy. blocks are gold.

FYI I upped the transaction limit to 10 for this 'week' since its ten games instead of the normal 7. Ill switch It back next Sunday night.

Playoffs baby!

The torch is definitely being passed, as Zion is the only one of my first 5 picks playing at the moment. On my IL right now: LeBron, Hayward, Jamal Murray, John Collins, with KAT missing his game today to attend a memorial for his mother. Good luck to my esteemed opponent clay and to all participating.

injuries and missed time have been so brutal this season but thats especially bad

My IL was full for a good chunk of the first half of the season, though not with all top guys like that, and then my team got surprisingly healthy up until the last couple weeks (LeBron was the first domino). It has definitely been a weird year.

shuffling dudes on and off IL and (the blessèd) IL+ has been a part-time job the last couple months

Haha yes same

bkly minny game postponed to add another wrinkle

forks's team is crazy good, they only lost once all season

And he barely made any moves 😤

1. (7) Nikola Jokic (Den - PF,C)
2. (10) Devin Booker (Pho - SG,SF)
3. (23) Deandre Ayton (Pho - C)
4. (26) Donovan Mitchell (Uta - PG,SG)
5. (39) Fred VanVleet (Tor - PG,SG)
6. (42) De'Aaron Fox (Sac - PG)
7. (55) DeMar DeRozan (SA - SG,SF,PF)
8. (58) CJ McCollum (Por - PG,SG)
9. (71) Lonzo Ball (NO - PG,SG)
10. (74) Coby White (Chi - PG,SG)
11. (87) Julius Randle (NY - PF,C)
12. (90) Danilo Gallinari (Atl - SF,PF)

good players with the first 9 picks, then randle in the 11th...

yah pretty much every player there has outperformed their draft position besides coby, gallo and maybe booker who's coming on strong now

auto draft tho so he cant take credit :)

randle that late is the real steal tho for sure

lol autodraft beat us all

Jokic at 7 was a steal too in retrospect

yah i think hes #1 on the seaseon. hasnt missed a game either

i may be wrong but i think i logged on just in time where i can claim intentionally drafting randle!
but yes, the power of my autodraft was strong. Required very little pruning over the course of the season.

D. Wade is balling out! That is Dean Wade of the Cleveland Cavaliers, of course, who had a 21-6-2 line with 3 steals and 5 threes last night in a loss to the Pels. I am noting him in this thread because he is currently at the top of the Transaction Trends, but more because I find it funny that his eligibility is PG/PF/C. He is 6'9" and averages 1.1 APG so maybe the PG thing is just an error but I cannot claim to have watched the Cavs to know for sure.

(In contrast Ben Simmons is just listed as a PG)

Ben Simmons could learn a few things from Dean Wade obviously

i don't know if it's enough to save me in this final but i feel pretty good about snagging Hardaway Jr off waivers for tonight

losing D Mitchell was a big hit

Yah that was huge. It’s gonna be tight all the way to the end imo

lol at our current FG% tie breaker

argh at hardaway jr being out for this last day; this is a stupid tight final and i need all the help i can get!

(prob should have strategically stacked players with sat/sun games yesterday but i didnt)

You should win cos you have the tiebreaker

welp vanvleet and derozan are taking the night off so

4-4 on Sunday, gotta love it. Y'all are both champs in my eyes (until one of you is a loser later this evening)

I need to hold points and pull off one of assists or fg%. Both of which are almost out of reach.

we should have a 9th category because winning 4-4 is silly. but it should be a positive category, so not turnovers.

sym you very well might beat me 8-0 for 3rd, i am humiliated

christ, tatum has become such a reliable beast

it was close all week!

we should have a 9th category because winning 4-4 is silly. but it should be a positive category, so not turnovers.

I need 10 assists combined out of Drummond, Flynn and Birch. I don’t think I’m gonna get it but damn this is close!

Congrats forks. The best team won.

what was the tie-breaker?
