Overpowered C's - How am I looking so far?
Hey everyone so I originally posted about this at the beginning of the fantasy season when I realized that Centers were highly overpowered in my league thanks to my best friend commissioner who didn't listen to my stat advice BEFORE he set the league.
Here's the breakdown of my league stat categories:
1-Year/8 Team/H2H Yahoo League
G(3) A(1.5) +/-(1) PIM(0.5) PPP(1) SHG(2) SHA(1) SOG(0.5) FW (.25) HIT(.25) BLK (.25) GS(1) W(3) L(-1) GA(-1) SV(0.5) SO(3)
As you'll notice Faceoff Wins is worth .25 points, as are hits, which means that Centermen are the most powerful players in the league. It means someone like Pavel Datsyuk or even Tomas Plekanec is more valuable in this league than Bobby Ryan or Martin St. Louis. Below please find my current team and the positions per week. Also, rosters are set on Monday so there's no changing in the middle of the week.
C: R. Getzlaf, J. Thornton
LW: M. Duchene, A. Steen
RW: Ovechkin, J. Pavelski
D: D. Phaneuf, D. Wideman, M. Green
Util: K. Turris
Bench: M. Lucic, M. St. Louis, V. Filpulla
IR: B. Burns
In any case I wanted to check in and get the community's collective advice again moving forward, it's been very good thus far, as I currently sit atop the standings at 3-1, but there are other teams gaining on me...
For this week I benched St. Louis in favor of Turris on Util since Turris is doing really well these days for Ottawa.
Now I think my defense could use some help while Brent Burns is out. I picked up Mike Green at the end of last week and am hoping he'll start picking up his pace but I still think I could replace Wideman. Phaneuf hasn't been playing well but there's no way I'll drop him.
Here's a short list of some of the available d-men:
Ryan McDonagh NYR - D
Torey Krug Bos - D
Erik Johnson Col - D
Cam Fowler Anh - D
Dan Boyle SJ - D
I'm thinking McDonagh to be honest, he's playing exceptionally well and could sustain for the year.
So what are people's thoughts...how can I continue to dominate this money league I'm in this year?
