Here we go with the final push before playoffs. I have three leagues I’m in and the rankings are 6/1/6. The 6’s are the 12 man league and the 1 is the family league in which I’ve been playing extremely well. The points are solid across the board. Unfortunately, the other leagues have me literally in the middle, which means in the bottom of the playoffs. I’m number 2 in points, in one of the leagues, which offers some promise in terms of where and how far I can go in the playoffs.
So, how am I doing really? Well, I’ve stuck with my players from the start for the most part. That means I’ve stuck with the holes in my roster as well, and I am learning that it is the holes that determine a winner at the end of the year. One way to patch those holes is to develop a roster that is going to do well in the last few weeks of the season. That means using players in contention. I didn’t do that last season and this season I am really trying to make sure the guys who are starting are guys who are going to be playing meaningful games at the end of the season, when it counts for me.
I’m working hard on winning one or more of these leagues. Honestly, the one where I am #2 in scoring is the one I think I have the top shot of winning. The one where I am in first is a first by a thin margin and the kids are gaining. Heck, it is starting to feel like Madden in that league. I’m looking forward to how it shakes out and I will check back in on this when the playoffs start.
