Question regarding Fantasy Football

Quick question for you guys. i'm the commish in a 12 man fantasy league, where we have all 12 active, pretty good participants. However, since there is one more week to the playoffs, one of the teams in my league has decided what i feel is to give up on a match since he is not going to the playofsf by playing mostly backups against another team vying for a playoff shot. Since there are two other people also in the hunt, i asked him if he thought he was playing his best team, which he replied pretty much he can do what he wants.

Now, since this is a pretty strict league, i mentioned beforehand that everyone who joined needed to keep on being active even if they were out of the playoff race. This is also a league where we kick out the worst person each year to make sure that stuff like this shouldn't happen, but since it's the last week, he has no pressure of getting kicked out.

Now the question, I've already talked with him and he won't really back down. Do you guys feel it would be ok for me to kick him out of the league based on him not putting his best team forward, which what I said every team had to do every week in this league?

I'd say yes, it's not fair to the other teams in the hunt. Not much point playing all year to get screwed at the end. Is this a money league? One of the other leagues I am in, a guy "roster dump" and a week later another player done the same thing (then wanted his team back). That commish just refunded the money and it's now just for "fun" and those two will not be back next year. His problem, both those guys he has to for, otherwise he would have booted them. Either way the league was tarnished at that point. Good luck with what you decide.

no it is not a money league, but next year it will be. this guy is one of the guys who hasn't said he would do it next year, so there's also that. i'm halfway convinced to throw him out before Sunday and get one of my friends to play his team the rest of the way fairly....i'm not sure. I don't want the league thinking i'm doing this for my benefit, since i'm also in the playoff race and if alot of stuff happenned this game could be a decision maker, but i also don't want some of the guys to come to me saying this guy cheated and they missed the playoffs because of it....

no it is not a money league,

then quit wasting our time...you are already wasting yours....

err..sorry that was harsh. If he is intentionally taking a dive, kick him out. AND, take a vote of OK from the other members and let you take over this week and set his lineup.

Look, im the top scorer in one league, but have a crappy record. I still have a very slim chance of making the playoffs with 2 games left, but its slim. Anyway, i have a lot to be bitter about, but ill still set the best lineup each week.

Now go punch yourself in the balls for playing FF for nothing. ...oh wait. You dont have any!

j/k

:D

Money would probably tear my friends and family league apart at some point.

Anyway, I think that you have every right to kick his jive out ASAP. It's really sorry for someone to throw a game because they don't have a stake in it, particularly when it's the last week of the season and others are vying for the playoffs. If you have clearly explained your position to him, and he refuses to budge, let the guillotine drop. As for setting his team, I think that the rest of y'all could come to an agreement as to who are the best players to start in order to get a victory (and if you can't, I'd be happy to fill in for the week ***smile***).

      Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By Basbear · Posted

      You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
