My other league is like this too, but I'm only just a member I'm not the president so I don't know what resolution is required.
21 Andre Ingrams at Mar 11, 2024 10:50 AM -
I never had too before, I’ll look into it
CGT at Mar 11, 2024 10:30 AM -
Does somebody have to manually enter or approve playoff matchups so we can set lineups?
21 Andre Ingrams at Mar 11, 2024 10:29 AM -
I briefly considered tanking the last few weeks to try and get a better matchup but no guarantee it would work and ultimately seemed silly. I've accepted my fate as the 2018-19 Warriors and expect some injury (Trae Young already down) or random games off by my best players after this week or terrible match-ups.
CGT at Mar 4, 2024 1:44 PM -
Nothing to play for this week since PorP gets the 2 seed for sure. I guess CGT could bench all his dudes hoping I score enough to get the top seed and an unfavorable semifinal matchup, but I don't think I can make up 1200+ points mainly because I would make sure that I didn't.
21 Andre Ingrams at Mar 4, 2024 1:09 PM -
Damn Trae Young….
CGT at Feb 25, 2024 2:17 PM -
And we’re back, another short week to cram 30 games into, get those lineups set and good luck.
CGT at Feb 22, 2024 9:17 AM -
Nice find, thanks. We’ll make some decisions this offseason and see what folks want.
CGT at Feb 18, 2024 12:22 PM -
I'm also a fan of moving to one single division, for the record.
BILL WALTON'S SPORTSBONG at Feb 18, 2024 8:50 AM -
Hi all. I noticed, browsing abandoned teams, that there's a setting option to have multiple matchups per week. So for example, if we selected "3," then each team would be matched up with three others in a given week. Based on how one's point total matched up with the other three teams, one would end up with a record of 3-0, 2-1, 1-2, or 0-3... might be a nice option to help balance out the issues inherent in head-to-head (i.e. putting up a huge week, but losing to the only other team also putting up a huge week).

Anyone have a C that gets regular playing time they want to give up? I don't have much left except maybe Isaac at $7 and his crazy Points Per Minute, decent gamble that he finds a more regular gig next year, he's got an option on his contract for next year (or something like that).
CGT at Feb 15, 2024 2:24 PM -
Johnny Furphy?? That shit sounds made up
Brickowski for 3 at Feb 15, 2024 2:18 PM -
Trade deadline is tonight btw...
CGT at Feb 15, 2024 2:16 PM -
Snuck one more deal in!
I Think You Should Reaves at Feb 14, 2024 8:04 PM -
I'm always game for deadline trades if anybody is looking to shake things up.
21 Andre Ingrams at Feb 13, 2024 12:01 PM -
it's the "might as well just take 1-2 weeks off and get ready for the stretch run" injuries that make this time of the year really fun.
CGT at Feb 12, 2024 5:49 PM -
I guess I get to find out if Kevon Looney has anything left in the tank. Good luck all!
Brickowski for 3 at Feb 12, 2024 3:09 PM -
I also do not care for the condensed week of games. Seems obvious to just combine this week and next week (8 instead of 7 days of games) into one H2H week. Or better yet, give me my full season points league and get rid of H2H altogether.
Anyway, jam those players in this week and next and good luck all!
CGT at Feb 12, 2024 1:48 PM -
I hate these short weeks in ottoneu head to head. I'm starting a ton of $1 filler players to get to 30 games.
Brickowski for 3 at Feb 12, 2024 12:06 PM -
B. Miller looking like a great get for the future. At least he should stay relatively cheap for another year or two.
CGT at Feb 9, 2024 6:43 PM -
I voted against this trade, although I'm willing to change my vote if I get some consideration thrown my way.
Walden Two at Feb 9, 2024 6:40 PM -
You gotta know when to hold ‘em…
I Think You Should Reaves at Feb 9, 2024 6:37 PM -
Did Reaves just call it a season?
CGT at Feb 9, 2024 5:51 PM -
And the nba trade deadline passes, didn’t seem like any trades that should affect things too much. I was worried Tyus Jones was going to get moved into a more reserve role somewhere but looks like stays put. With Gafford moved, Bagley’s minutes might shoot up if he stays healthy. Otherwise a lot of backups and depth got moved.
CGT at Feb 8, 2024 3:20 PM -
that's brutal...
CGT at Feb 5, 2024 11:15 PM -
Oh my god FVV. Worst trade ever.
I Think You Should Reaves at Feb 5, 2024 10:10 PM -
I like the H2H aspect of things. I think there are always trade offs to make in assembling any fantasy system and I enjoy this ottoneu format so overall I'm happy with it. The rules page states that leagues can have 1,2, or 3 divisions. I just propose that we move to 1. If there was some schedule difference between divisions then it's fine, but in this case it just seems arbitrary. Publish or Parish is at least a good team (though he's without Embiid now). It could have easily been the case that he was also in the Jordan Division and then we'd have two 7-8 teams battling for a playoff spot.
21 Andre Ingrams at Feb 5, 2024 3:56 PM -
Big comeback win for Brickowski last week over Publish or Parish, congrats! 21 Andre Ingrams vs I Think You Should Reaves with the crucial match-up this week. Best of luck, all!
CGT at Feb 5, 2024 2:11 PM -
probably for the same dumb reasons we're forced to play H2H on a weekly schedule when it makes no sense in a points league, or have to force 30 games into the 3 short weeks of scheduled games, or finish the season a couple weeks before the actual season ends or guys are assigned positions based off the preseason rosters sent out by the teams and data provider rather than what they actually start or play during the season (I get what they play would be tough to quantify, but it's quite easy to set it like baseball based off starting lineups, 5 games started at a position gives that player eligibility at that position).
It should be a season long points league like baseball with no playoffs. Presuming Niv doesn't give us that option this offseason though, I'll put up a vote and see if we want to go to one division which is fine by me. I don't know why divisions were even offered if the schedule remains balanced.
CGT at Feb 5, 2024 1:38 PM -
Why does this league have two divisions? We don't play our division-mates anymore than anybody else. I play everybody twice except the teams I was assigned last in the schedule which are Walden Two (who is not in my division) and Brickowski for 3 (who is in my division). I play them each once. It seems like we're just randomly gifting Publish or Parish a playoff spot for no reason while four other teams battle it out for three spots. If the argument is "well, we set it up that way and so that's the way it is," I can't really argue with that, but nothing about the league schedule seems to force things to stay that way. At the very least, we should go to a single division in the future.
21 Andre Ingrams at Feb 5, 2024 12:27 PM -
Man really wish I hadn’t traded Brunson….
I Think You Should Reaves at Feb 3, 2024 11:16 PM -
Trade deadline moved yet again....to Feb 15th
CGT at Feb 2, 2024 5:03 PM -
It does in fact do that…not sure the benefit other than keeping things tidy. The game wouldn’t count against you anyway since they didn’t play.
CGT at Jan 31, 2024 11:44 PM -
I guess I never realized this - if a player is out but you have them in your lineup as active, does the system automatically move them to your bench? I think that happened with me tonight with Jokic
I Think You Should Reaves at Jan 31, 2024 10:07 PM -
https://community.ottoneu.com/t/basketball-trade-deadline-incorrect/13904
They moved it to end of February….which makes way more sense to have it after NBA trade deadline. I think it should be the All-Star game weekend when we’re all bored, but it is what it is.
CGT at Jan 31, 2024 1:45 PM -
Deadline day. I clicked on the rules page to see if it's midnight or what and there it says the deadline is the last day of February so that wasn't helpful. I'd assume midnight eastern, but who knows? If you want to make a deadline trade feel free to send something over or ping me in the chat. I'm always up for trade talks.
21 Andre Ingrams at Jan 31, 2024 12:32 PM -
indeed, thanks for catching it.
CGT at Jan 30, 2024 8:42 PM -
You listed that you play I Think You Should Reaves in week 20, but he also plays you.

I could use a consistent G or 2, open to ideas and moving players
CGT at Jan 29, 2024 8:03 PM -
Bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off!
CGT at Jan 29, 2024 8:02 PM -
With the players I had at the prices I had, I probably could have been competitive for years - instead I cashed in all my chips for this year. Flags fly forever right? Let’s go!
I Think You Should Reaves at Jan 29, 2024 7:43 PM -
All sales final.
21 Andre Ingrams at Jan 28, 2024 1:51 AM -
(Not great Bob gif)!
I Think You Should Reaves at Jan 27, 2024 9:44 PM -
The timing on that Randle trade :)
CGT at Jan 27, 2024 9:43 PM -
Yeah, only three from our division will make it and it's all bunched up.
21 Andre Ingrams at Jan 27, 2024 1:48 AM -
Fun trades…
5 good teams left, 4 playoff spots and Publish will get in as division winner.
CGT at Jan 26, 2024 8:13 PM -
Should also mention that Walden Two is in that baseball league as well....
CGT at Jan 24, 2024 6:54 PM -
if any of you play Ottoneu fantasy baseball or want to, I have 2 teams open in my league. It's a $40 pay-in for prizes on top of the league fees due to Ottoneu.
CGT at Jan 24, 2024 6:53 PM -
The 9 game win streak is in jeopardy this week without Doncic and only 2 Giannis games.
