Yeah I know I don't post here often but I'm having a hard time next week with line up. Probably over thinking but going against the hottest team in the league and feel like I might need to take some chances. Been putting pretty much vanilla line ups and actually started winning some games. Bench has almost every week scored more or close to as much as starters. Nobody will trade in this league so a 2 fer 1 isn't happening. Anyway, this is what I have in now.

I would start Andrus over Cozart in hopes for SBs.

And Suarez at DH over Garcia or inciarte.

Tough having some of those players on your bench, but hard to put some in.

No shit. Damn near every week I go the wrong way. Last week I scored 150 with my starters and 180 on the bench...............and scoring system is points based not category based.

I'd be trading Altuve.

Castro shouldn't see the bench, but wouldn't get a return like Altuve could.

So starting OF this week is:

Cespedes
Calhoun
KDavis

Bench
Cain
Inciarte
Avi Garcia

Pretty much swinging for the fences here. 4pts for HR, 3pts for Triple, 2pts Double, 1pt for Single, RBI, Run, SB and BB. Negative point for KO and CS...............hate to sit Inciarte but I have to go for the big points with Cespedes and KDavis..............they can throw up huge numbers in this format. Inciarte is a solid 15-20 a week though................

BTW, my starters scored 175.5 last week, bench.....................175...............lmao.

yeah... Cespedes and Davis should always be starting.... match up based for the others. I'm not a big (or little) Calhoun fan, so I'd probably start the hot Inciarte.

I'm not much of a Fantasy BB fan of Calhoun either but the SOB been hot these last 10 days...........maybe I'll change it. BTW, in this format KDavis has completely killed me the last 2 weeks I started him. Of course he had a good week on my bench though.........haha.

Yeah... haven't noticed Clahoun's streak. Ride em hot I guess.

Unfortunately that's how it goes with Davis. Gotta take the lows with the highs or you'll miss out on more than you gain.

Lol..............................so my starting OF last week scored 45 pts, bench scored 70..............lost by 20. Really didn't think Cain would stay hot for as long as he has but at this point I have to start him IMO.........so this week it's Cespedes, Cain and Avi............so if you have Calhoun, KDavis or Inciarte you should start them as they will be going off this week...................

You have way too much talent on that bench...

I know you said trading is rough, but I'd really try hard to move some of those pieces.

Yeah, this is the 3rd straight week over 300 combined points..............and every week I seem to Wango when I should have Tangoed............I put Altuve on the block and I have not had one offer............

I would start personally reaching out to others in the league and making offers. Not sure how much you guys interact though... I just think there's so much potential there if you can move some pieces for upgrades. Plus it saves you the headache of these impossible lineup decisions. Nobody should have to choose between Segura/Andrus/Cozart, Altuve/Castro... etc... on a regular basis

Well I'm thinking of offering Elvis for Zimm................Segura is coming back tomorrow so I'll have Segura/Cozart at SS (yes, the posterboys of health) but I could put Zimm at 1B, Carp at 3B and that would take care of a couple of line up woes...........would offer Cozart but I doubt he would bite.
