In response to "if only any of these kinds of stats had anything to do with actual FFB success -- nm" by 500 dugs of summer

Wouldn't you need to have some FFB success before you can determine that?

You're still going by the theory that it's all luck, right?

FFB, compared to the crown jewel of fantasy sports (baseball), is overwhelmingly more dependant on luck. -- nm - TFox Jul 19, 17:10 9
- FF is skill; FB is grinding. -- nm - David Jul 19, 17:11 8
  - The skill being "sitting with your laptop all day Sunday to add the guys instantly elevated from schlub to superstar after a concussion"? - TFox Jul 19, 17:20 2
    - it's a poorly run league that doesn't use waiver priority for this kind of stuff. -- nm - Reagen Jul 19, 17:26 1
      - Fair enough, although almost every league on earth defaults to something other than rolling waivers. - TFox Jul 19, 17:31
  - yeah, I make it a month through FB and I'm bored out of my mind -- nm - GWAA Jul 19, 17:15 4
    - I wholly concede that the maximum 20 days a year needed to play FF makes it more accessible. - TFox Jul 19, 17:16 3
      - it takes skill to see into the future and know which players are going to blow out their knees - 500 dugs of summer Jul 19, 17:17 2

        It takes skill to prepare for that. Luck would be having any fantasy team go uninjured. - David Jul 19, 17:46
