Let people play fantasy football the way they enjoy. Unlike this guy.

Best ball is the dumbest form of fantasy. Can’t believe anyone enjoys it. Little to no strategy. Learn to set a lineup.

Comments

For most people, what is the funnest part of fantasy football? It’s the draft. Best Ball maximizes the number of drafts you can do and minimizes the in-season work. If you have one regular league, the in-season waivers and trades can be fun. If you have a dozen leagues, that stuff sucks.

Yeah, anyone who says BB doesn’t have strategy I would love to be in a BB league with and teach them.

voodoo54.bsky.social•42 days ago

So many things wrong here.

I draft many best ball entries in preparation for season long draft leagues.

Just such a dumb OP.

Lotta bestball fans here 👀

If anyone is interested, I run 12 team $5 bestballs on sleeper all offseason. Slow clock. 1st gets $50 and 2nd $10.

Is it too early to draft 2025? Maybe so. But the first draft is already filling up 🤪

It’s never too early.

(Admittedly guilty of this as well)

Never forget.

The strategy is pick the best players. I think best ball is the perfect self scope into decision making on building a team. I love it

wyattbff.bsky.social•42 days ago

Right. And picking the best players is actually a long list of nuanced decisions.

timholstad.bsky.social•42 days ago

Best ball has far more strategy than redraft. You can’t get lucky on the waiver wire. You can’t drop your mistakes. You have to be right, before a game even starts. That takes actual skill. Bro is so incorrect.

Sometimes, to paraphrase Meghan Trainor, it's all about the draft. And that's just fine.

stevenwduke.bsky.social•42 days ago

I don't enjoy best ball dynasty, but, damn why yuck someone else's yum.

wyattbff.bsky.social•42 days ago

I’ll never understand. 🤷‍♂️

stevenwduke.bsky.social•42 days ago

Also, cheap redraft best ball is my favorite off season pastime. Man, I miss the Draft app.

wyattbff.bsky.social•42 days ago

Do you play on Underdog?

stevenwduke.bsky.social•42 days ago

I haven't yet. I downloaded the app but haven't really tried to use it yet. Pretty similar?

Highly recommend. If you haven’t deposited yet you can use code “JWB” for a first time deposit match up to $100.

johnbosch.bsky.social•42 days ago

this is a hilarious take from this guy. he thinks lineup setting is where strategy comes into FF

that’s perhaps the most varianced part of FF outside of scheduled matchup

this is the dude that crushes a home league nobody else cares about, then joins a league with strategy and crumbles

wyattbff.bsky.social•42 days ago

Nailed it lol.

cigaff.bsky.social•42 days ago

some folks need the grind (line ups, waivers, etc) to feel engaged. They mistake those scheduled layered ambiguous choices for skill/strategy. Bestball, however, is glorious.

wyattbff.bsky.social•42 days ago

Each games has its layers of strategy. They just come in different forms. 🤝

johnbosch.bsky.social•42 days ago

yep. i’m tempted to encourage the guy to join one of mcdowell’s leagues. sometimes it fun to watch those leagues humble people who think something like setting a lineup is strategy
