TooSerious
For those who take it way too seriously
For those that dont know, there have been a few Too Serious Fantasy NFL leagues happening this season. Stowie and Wiggles have been the main instigators of them and its the 2nd year of such leagues.
Last season I did not make the cut and was 1st emergency, but I still enjoyed reading the weekly writeups that Wiggles was kind to provide. Although, unfortunately, this season there have not been any as yet - well not on the main page anyway. But now there is...
Stowie has written a piece updating the progress of league 1 which you will find over the break.
<!--more-->
It has taken 8 weeks, but finally time for a quick update from a League 1 perspective.
Dominating the League, and ‘Walsey’ conference, is Adelaide Maggotz (7 – 1). Led by #1 scorer so far Aaron Rodgers, the Maggotz have been one of the more stable rosters so far with only 8 acquisitions so far.
Following in the ‘Walesy’ conference are Unleashed and Hellbound (4 – 3 – 1), Team Wiggles (4 – 4), Under Achievers (3 – 5) and
Ocho Cinco (2 – 5 – 1).
In the ‘Lucas’ conference, Team Stowie (6 – 2) sits a top led by #1 overall draft pick Adrian Peterson. Vick’s Dog Fighters (4 – 4)
are second and Dizzy Diamonds, Show Me Ya TD’s and TooSerious are all fighting for 2nd with 3 – 5 records.
Both conferences are extremely close and the race for playoff berths will be quite intense, maybe the draw will come in handy for Unleashed or Ocho… or maybe it’ll cost them!
If anyone from L2 or L3 would like to contribute, post it below and we’ll get it added to the top.

Just a quick one this week. We have completed 4 rounds of the NBL now, and Parasite is still the front runner in our league. He is ranked 16th overall; Stowie has jumped up to be ranked 2nd on our Points For ladder and is in the top 100 overall; while UnderAchievers is our next best with an overall rank of 115. Not too shabby gentleman. Well done! Lets hope one of us can pull off the big prize.
Over the break are all the usual results and ladder etc.

Looks like weve had a number of teams kick off their pre-season training, so its time to dust off the ol clipboard and start scouting around the training reports to see if we cant dig up a little fantasy gold.
Of course, being the first update, info is fairly scant, but hey- its good to work ourselves into the pre-season!
Ill be looking to get these posts up at least weekly, concatenating just about everything in the weekly newsletter, so that come the NAB, youll have a great resource to draw upon for all your pre-season news.
<!--more-->
That said- try to follow along each week, while cramming at the end can definitely work, building up a solid basis of knowledge over the pre-season will definitely give you a better understanding on what has made a good pick a good pick, and why certain rookies will get great value next year when they do finally get a game. (ie- We all knew that Puopolo and I. Smith would be great value last year, when they finally got games and thus dynamically left room in my team to trade down into them, knowing that they would get games.) It also helps you to avoid trading into hype-ish players, like Siposs last year. I know a number of coaches that picked him up simply because they had to downgrade a forward, rather than picking up (the albeit injured) Mzungu, knowing that hed do well. Last year you could kinda get away with it, but if we go back to a 2 man bench, then a solid understanding of how the pre-season went down, will certainly help you out through the year.
Enough rambling however, on with the show!

Chelsea v Arsenal
RVP has now scored 28 goals in 27 games for Arsenal this year after his hat-trick at the bridge. Walcott scored a contender for goal of the season and Santos also got on the scoresheet. Lampard, Terry and Mata scored Chelseas goals. It was a game dominated by defensive mistakes. Chelsea now havent had a clean sheet since the first game of the season.
Mertesacker was at fault for Chelseas first two goals but there were far more positives than negatives for Arsenal. Eighth win in nine. RVP top scorer in EPL now with 10 goals. Outstanding game from Ramsey. Walcott excellent in patches. Vermaelen came on for the last five minutes after injury. Arsenals next give games read like this - WBA, Norwich (a), Fulham, Wigan (a), Everton. RVP, Gervinho, Walcott and possibly Ramsey & Arteta are all capable of scoring big over the next few weeks.<!--more-->
Everton v Man United
Massive news for United as Vidic was back for this one and he played a huge part in United gaining a much-needed clean-sheet after losing six goals last week. Rio was dropped while Smalling and Young were injured, with Young possibly back next week. Hernandez scored the vital goal from Evras cross. Cahill and Drenthe were both missing for Everton. Cleverley started and showed some nice touches before being substituted. Sunderland at Old Trafford next week kicks off a juicy run of games for United that should help get last weeks result out of their system(Newcastle @ OT is the hardest). Rooney has now gone five league games without scoring.
Man City v Wolves
City remain unbeaten with nine wins from ten. Nasri, Silva and Dzeko all started this one with Clichy dropping out for Kolarov. Hennessey was inspired for Wolves early on before making a critical error in the second half when he was too slow in clearing the ball. Aguero closed him down and the ball ricocheted to Dzeko to give him a simple tap-in. The result was never in doubt from here on in with Kolarov and...

OK, Im not putting it up here because Im sure afl.com.au have it covered.
BUT, lets get commenting. Of course, cue the complaints that the Pies have an easy draw. Again. They only play one team that finished ahead of them in season 2011, and even then only twice and more scandalously both times at their home ground!

Weve just completed round 3 of the NBL season, and we have a new leader on the points for ladder, with Parasite moving ahead of UnderAchievers and into 12th spot overall, while UAs has slipped to 70th overall.
After getting the lowest score in the league last week, my team finished with the highest score in the league for round 3
, ranking 29th oa for the round. I hope they can keep it going now.
Three rounds in, there are four teams with two Ws, and four that are yet to find one. The ladder will be over ther break later.
Things are still not looking good for the NBA, with more games due to be cancelled. Now it looks like we wont see any NBA action untill at least December, but probably January.

Hi all,
NAB Cup draw is out. Looks to be a great preparation for the West Coast Eagles. Stuff all travel, so youd think they would be the favourites to win the thing. Its been a fairly good omen for a top 4 finish in the past few years, with Cats winning the double in 2009.
Thankfully this format will enable all matches to be tracked and for those with Foxtel, coverage will be complete.
Round 1 is the half games we experienced this year (6x3), Round 2 and 3 are 9 pre-scheduled matches, and the top 2 teams get to play off in the final, where others get to scratch around their 4th match.
Get the full draw here: http://www.afl.com.au/Portals/0/afl_docs/afl_hq/2012%20NAB%20Cup%20Fixture.pdf

As said before lock in the Eagles as a finalist. If I were making another tip, Id say Hawthorn. Geelong if they pass week 1 with 2 wins will be a certainty to play the final.

Just quickly, I finally got around to updating those EPL salaries- so yall can quit asking me when they are gunna be happening again!!
Seriously need to program some more automation into that thing, take out the "Walesy is on holiday" factor!

Manchester United 1 Man City 6. Ill say that again Man United 1 Man City 6!!! What a scoreline! Uniteds defence has looked decidedly dodgy this year - but 6? Its the first time since 1930 that United have let in six at Old Trafford! City were certainly helped by the fact that Jonny Evans - a bomb scare if ever there was one - was sent off just after half-time with the score 1-0 to the blues, nonetheless it was an outstanding performance by them. Thoroughly deserved and frankly it couldve been more.
David Silva was instrumental in tearing United to shreds and there cant be many players in the world better than him at the moment. He wasnt the only hero for City though - Richards, Milner, Balotelli were all exceptional, but really all the players played their part. Balotelli scored twice before being replaced by Dzeko with 20mins remaining. Dzeko scored two but had five clear scoring opportunities as City took advantage of a United defence in disarray. Silva scored once as well as assisting, Richards assisted with one, Milner assisted two while Aguero also got on the scoresheet. Nasri started on the bench and it has to be said that City looked a more solid, balanced team with a midfield of Barry, Yaya and Milner. Fletcher scored a peach of a goal for United and Rooney never stopped running for his team but it was all to no avail.<!--more-->
Ferguson decided not to risk Vidic for this one but hell be desparate to get him back in the team to try and shore up their defence. United will look to punish their next opponents - Everton at Goodison - but dont be surprised to find some team changes.
QPR v Chelsea
Torres was suspended for this one which gave Drogba the opportunity to impress. Bizarrely he instead got himself red-carded in the first half for a two-footed lunge on Taarabt who was also restored to the starting line-up. By this point Chelsea were already a man down and a goal down. The goal came from the penalty spot after Luiz had nudged Helguson in...

First things first, an update on the NBA - well there isnt heaps to tell as usual, as the people involved still arent giving much away; although there was a mammoth meeting today with a mediator that lasted 16 hours! Nothing has been resolved and they adjourned the meeting until the next morning, which is actually due to kick off right about now (midnight melbs time). So it looks like something will come of this meeting, but who knows what... lets hope that they sort it out and dont cancel any more of the season.
Later on, over the break, Ill update whats happening with our fantasy NBA leagues, and what we need to do to set them up more.
In the NBL, round 2 saw the first of the H2H matches. Our league did not fare as well this week, with only Sainter and Parasite beating their round 1 scores. Parasite moved up to second on the Points For ladder and is in the top 100 overall, while our highest scorer - Under Achievers - is sitting in 13th spot overall with a heap of players playing two games this week. Our league slipped to 12th overall, and I reckon I can take a bit of the blame for that after scoring the lowest score this week! I only managed 132 which was about 40 points lower than the next closest . I made two trades last week - both failing bigtime. Traded out Abercrombie when I should have trade Wilkinson. and traded in Kazzough who did not live up to his value in the slightest with a spuddy 14 (as captain too).
My highest scorer was Patty Mills, and I must say that it was fantastic to go and see him play last Friday! Met TS member Jet there, in person for the first time. Was good to meet you mate - had a ball! One gripe though... was the courtside announcer. He was a shocker. Totally biased and disrespectful to the tigers, especially towards Mills - I personally thought it was a disgrace. What do you all think about that stuff?
Over the break are the results from round 1 of our H2H matches; our ladder; the schedule for this week and some...
Later on, over the break, Ill update whats happening with our fantasy NBA leagues, and what we need to do to set them up more.
In the NBL, round 2 saw the first of the H2H matches. Our league did not fare as well this week, with only Sainter and Parasite beating their round 1 scores. Parasite moved up to second on the Points For ladder and is in the top 100 overall, while our highest scorer - Under Achievers - is sitting in 13th spot overall with a heap of players playing two games this week. Our league slipped to 12th overall, and I reckon I can take a bit of the blame for that after scoring the lowest score this week! I only managed 132 which was about 40 points lower than the next closest
. I made two trades last week - both failing bigtime. Traded out Abercrombie when I should have trade Wilkinson. and traded in Kazzough who did not live up to his value in the slightest with a spuddy 14 (as captain too).My highest scorer was Patty Mills, and I must say that it was fantastic to go and see him play last Friday!
