Big week - need your input!

[blayze]

I'm barely clinging to first place in my league heading into the final two weeks - literally ahead by 2 points for the overall points title.

Next week I have to start TWO of the following options and I am absolutely torn on who to ride.

-Scheifele (3 games): BOS, @CHI, @TOR
-Atkinson (3 games): @EDM, @CGY, @VAN
-Duchene (4 games): @CAR, NYI, FLA, @DET
-Landeskog (4 games): @VGK, PHI, CHI, @ANA
-Dadonov (4 games): @ NYI, @TOR, @OTT, @BOS

Trends:
-Hottest player right now is Atkinson. CBJ clinging to a playoff spot. Good match-ups against shit teams, but only 3 games.
-Scheifele is the best player. Heating up. Only 3 games.
-Landeskog is an interesting option since I also start Rantenen and Barrie. Avs are also clinging to a spot. Might be too much eggs in one basket - high risk move.
-Dadonov was on an absolute tear, but seems to have cooled off with 2pts in his last 4 games. Good schedule, Panthers are fighting for their lives.
-Duchene has the best schedule, but has gone cold the last 4 games. Sens have nothing to play for and EK is skipping the CAR game and will be day-to-day.

My gut says to go with Atkinson and Scheifele, but those other 4 game schedules are so tempting, especially Landeskog or Dadonov.

Format is points only. Which two do you go with?

Scheifele and Atkinson are my picks. Atkinson has a pretty soft schedule too

Thx man.

Why Scheifele over Landeskog?

Why Scheifele over Landeskog?

Scheifele is your best player, other than the fact that Landeskog has 4 games, I can’t see any reason why I would pick him over Scheifele.

Atkinson for sure for me.

Now for the final choice....if you are ok going heavy on the Avs then go with Landy. 7 SOG yesterday and they are fighting as we all know. If you normally like to spread things out, go Schefiele. Personally I normally do the latter but I can honestly say that I haven't owned one of these guys all year so maybe my opinion might be different if I had some allegiance.

The GM I'm competing with has Mackinnon. I already have Rantenen and Barrie starting... I feel like that should be enough to hedge against Mackinnon having a big week. The risk with Landeskog is that if Avs completely blow it next week, then I've wasted 3 roster spots versus his 1 roster spot. If the Avs kill it, then I cement the victory.

Ahhh decisions decisions. Landeskog looked great yesterday and as you pointed out he had 8 SOG. This is a tough one.... maybe I'll see how Scheifele does tonight before deciding tomorrow.

Screw it... rolling the dice on Landeskog and the Avs this week!

Goodluck!

So the two guys I didn't consider rolling... Duchene and Dadonov are on fire... 4 points and 2 points this week.

Landeskog and Atkinson... big fat zeros.

Love it lol

Damn isn't that how it always goes... you made a good choice and if you would have choose duchene and dadonv most likely they would have gone goose eggs and everyone else light it up.

Always go with your best and those two were closest to best I would say
