[FFFX-3] From The Desk of the Commish, Week 2

A Field Full Of Maximums

We've kicked off two whole weeks of holy gridiron sportsmanning and the action has been fierce from the get-go! As your commish, I get to quickly summarize all of the information from the 32 different games that have already happened (in Season 1, it would've taken us five weeks to get this much data!) With this many teams, lets start with a look at the top. There are ten teams currently undefeated - Coach Catgirl and The Owl Lady are roosting at the top as they make their case for a seasonal leader. Meanwhile we're unsure if anything can stop Team Natsuru whose Bijan Robinson-led team is so aggressively well-rounded that every player scored double digits this week as she has so-far torn through the goodstreamsᴸᵗᵈ division alongside her Team Tits wife who is also undefeated. The Youngest Men Alive have had their hottest start yet, which is terrifying as Coach Sooz's team of geriatrics are known for improving as a season progresses and not taking much time off for injury. These salts of the earth are finding flavortown early and that means trouble for the rest of us! And then there are the Season 1 champion yaoi aficianados who are finding the normal, casual success they were desperate for last season.

Currently, it seems that last season's runner up Mitch please as well as the Commish's entire family are collapsing together inside of the glory-basking of four undefeated powerhouses. After me, my dad, and my brother all winning together in Week 1, this week we all lost together in some brutal matches. Meanwhile, where I left my Boys' corpses this week, bloomed beautiful Elysium deathblossoms for Coach Pokey as they lead their Goodstreamsᴸᵗᵈ division as the sole undefeated player.

In other news around the league, glory was found in the X-Zone, a team of broken misfits with varying Questionable and Injured Reserve ratings. So that strategy has already payed off big for Coach Veyerals, just like it has for the Seattle Seahawks in the non-virtual realm. While Charm City, the Sheliak All-Stars, and one Permian Mass Extinction have not found their first win yet, they have all had much closer and more competitive games than they had in their first two seasons, keep an eye on those three as I'm sure they'll be playing spoiler to all of your favorite powerhouses soon enough. The GoodStreamsᴸᵗᵈ division is lagging behind with only five wins in the entire division, but the Natsurus of the league can't keep blowing all of them up forever, especially with Coach Pseud0 stealing a Win from Coach Vertenflow's Win Factory.

Commissioner Missions

Are we all good? Is everyone comfortable? We've recently added new players and purged almost all of the nefarious BOTs that were around. Are there still enough Kickers and QBs to support all 32 teams currently playing? This section is all about the health of the fantasy football systems itself. Last week, we got rid of negative value for Kickers, so nobody is punished for missing kicks. Meanwhile, Quarterbacks will continue to be punished for throwing interceptions because that's the risk of greatness. There seems to still be QBs available which means our system is working because nobody should be FORCED to add NYG's Jameis Winston to their team. As far as Kicking goes, there are available kickers so every team that is active has access to what are ~7+ free points per team. If your kicker has ever scored over ten fantasy points you are probably fine, but this is not a position that should change much week-to-week so as long as you have Anyone currently rostered to plant there, you should be good. And if you don't? Of the teams that do not have an active Kicker, they have won 4 games and lost 5. Team Tits opted to draft an extra defender which has been a major part of their undefeated streak. Abandoning your kicker could be a possible strategy for folks if they are in a tough matchup with a booty-ass kicker. It is also gas leak behavior!

Next time I'll have more data to be able to examine how the interdivisional games are doing. We have not had very many to speak of yet... Oh God, I just found out we don't have interdivisional games... I will fix this uhhh I can fix this, give me a week. Or two... Maybe two...

Play Of The Week

Hey ignore that! Guess who is our first ever Play Of The Week recipient?? Coach Krev and Team NEKAllDay made a clutch switch picking up Carolina's Bobby Okereke who went beast mode shutting down the Atlanta Falcons and helping these nudist nooners to overwhelming Mitch please. They won't have to do much for the next few weeks with how set up their team is currently!
