It is frustrating when you lose in those situations. But it is no different than regular football. If the Bears lose to the Packers 41-40 and they scored the 2nd most points in the league that day they do not get anything added to their record. it is just the way it works some days.

Why even play head to head? Set your lineup each week and hope to score a lot of points and at the end of the season the team with the most points wins.

In my scenario H2H matchups account for 50% of the scoring so your post makes no sense.

I think somebody was up in Wisconsin and listening to 540, they had this same discussion the other day.

That further convinces me that it is a bad idea.

The key difference being that in real football you have control over how many points your opponent scores.

So that's a terrible analogy.

Neither does your OP. Head to head means you play head to head. Sometimes you get lucky and win during a bad week and sometimes you lose during a great week. It will even out by the end of the year. If you dont want to play head to head then dont.

My bad. I forgot you only post stuff like this because you want people to agree with you and stroke your ego.

Your idea sucks.

Might as well just go roto. In this format, the 1 point for a win is still just based off the luck of who you are playing that week.

You can take the word "point" out of the standings. You want a team to get 1/2 of a win for scoring more points than other teams in the league, even if they lose their game.



.

So you think modifiying H2H to eliminate much of the luck factor and instead focus on who actually puts out the best team is a bad idea? Gotcha.

MoFo, let me set you straight:

1 point for winning the stage and 1 point for losing the stage but being in the front half of the peloton.




See how bad that is?

Hey guys, I have a great idea for an auction league.

We will just draft our players like normal.

Fuck me, I set up an auction league like that last year and for some reason it just turned out to be a normal league. Everyone was like WTF stupid. I couldn't blame them really.

I once read a great book about serial killers written by a famous FBI profiler, I think it was called Whoever Fights Monsters. One of the cases he studied involved a killer who ransacked the house after the murder was committed. Everyone thought this one guy did it, but the profiler knew that the killer was not that guy and in fact was a woman because the killer had spray painted "fuck me" on the wall rather than "fuck you". The profiler said that only a woman would write "fuck me" as opposed to a man, who would write "fuck you" instead. Just saying...

anyone who doesn't recognize what a brilliant idea this is is an idiot.
