Stupid, stupid, stupid

This week in FAAB I only bid on one kicker, lost and as result lost this week by three f'in points without starting a kicker. I should still be in first place at the end of the day but this move could cost me the season.

Lesson: Dont trust that you will get your bye week fill in's and bid on more than one option.

Do that every time if you can, even if each is for $1. You weren't alone this weekend as we had a few others do the same thing and ask if there was anything they could do. Nope, not after Friday night.

Thanks Greg. I will do that in the future.

The FA system HERE is by far the best in the HS industry and yes, it only takes seconds to make multiple moves. Other sites make it frustrating to create a long list of alternatives.

I always end up adding every available K and D to my list on those weeks. It's worth the extra time. I usually make those bids on Tuesday so as not to find myself in a time crunch on Friday.

toscano,

If it makes you feel any better I needed a kicker in 3 of my four NFFC leagues... I bid on them in order that I liked them but never spent more than a couple dollars because kickers are unpredictable.

I got Rob Bironas... 1 point.

i agree with this statement totally.....definitely the best FA system here by far. i wish my home league would adopt this system

I had my FA's set for the evening. Wasn't planning on doing anything else. I got home Friday night and was scrambling when I heard about SeaBass. I have him in all of my managed leagues. At 7:30 CT, I put in 8-10 kickers in each league just to assure of a kicker for the weekend. Good news, I got a replacement PK for each team. Bad news, It was Rob Bironas and/or Josh Brown.

That is a shame, because the Janikowski news came from out of the blue this past Friday. I know I didn't have time to pick up another kicker by the deadline...

And I am up by .4 in another league with no kicker hoping Torrey Smith gets hit by a bus.
