GAABoard Fantasy NFL - Superbowl V - Champion Crowned

[AZOffaly]

The cumulation of our Fantasy Superbowl is also this weekend. Ceiphas holds a 4 point advantage over Drinking Harp.

The scores so far...

Wildcard Weekend

Drinking Harp 0 points (2 right, 2 wrong)
Ceiphas50 4 points (3 right, 1 wrong)

Divisional Playoffs

Dringing Harp 0 points (4 right, 4 wrong)
Ceiphas50 8 points (6 right, 2 wrong)

Conference Finals
Drinking Harp 4 points (6 right, 4 wong)
Ceiphas50 8 points (7 right, 3 wrong)


drinking harp only needs a correct prediction with Ceiphas getting the wrong team to draw level on 6 apiece. If Harp manages the exact score difference, he'll take it 9-6.


On the basis that a draw is a possible outcome, we need tiebreakers before the fact.

So, 1st Tie Breaker - Total Number of points. (Closest wins, over or under)
if level, 2nd Tie Breaker - Total Passing Touchdowns combined.
3rd Tie Breaker - Total Running Touchdowns combined.
4th Tie Breaker - total Points First Quarter
5th Tie Breaker - Total Points First Half.


If ye are still level after 5 tiebreakers, we have our first shared Superbowl.....

Best of Luck.

Have we a Fantasy GAABoard superbowl champ?

[AZOffaly]

Well the results are in, and after both finalists piced the Colts to beat the Saints, the winner, on a scoreline of 6-2 is
Ceiphas50
Ceiphas50 finished with a season record of 13-2, good enough to give him the number one seed in the Montana Conference, with a superb 2035.69 total points (an unreal average of 135.66 points for the 15 regular season weeks).

He carried that form into the playoffs where he took care of The Royal Badgers in a high scoring conference semi final, on a scoeline of 159.89 to 126.07. The Conference final saw him take on the #3 seed Smackdown Clowns, who themselves had an epic 160.29 points to 143.91 victory over the 2 seeded Galway Bay Tribesmen.  The Clowns never rose to the same heights in the final, and the New York Jets III went one better than the New York Jets of the NFL, by coasting to the superbowl on a 142.07 to 98.61 scoreline.

In the Superbowl predictions competition, he met up with the Victor of the Payton Conference, also the #1 seed, Crossmaglen Hitmen and Drinking Harp. The Hitmen had a 11-4 record, with 1775.92  points, and they also upheld the formbook by taking out the 4th seeded Mayo Warriors, and the 2nd seed (and highest point scorer in regular season) Jack JAck City in a tight final (125.09 to 120.41).

So, it gives me great pleasure to announce that Ceiphas50, manager of the New York Jets III is GaaBoard Superbowl V Champion. Drew Brees Picked up the trophy on your behalf Ceiplas. Well done, and here's to 2010.

The GAA Board Fantasy All Stars.

Based on our Positions, and our Point Categories, the following is the All Star team for 2010.

Quarterback - Aaron Rogers - Green Bay Packers.



Rogers enjoyed a stellar 2009, as he made fans in Green Bay hopeful that the ghost of Favre would soon be a thing of the past. Unfortunate to have a couple of bad plays in the Playoffs, he still showed enough in the game against the Arizona Cardinals that he is a quarterback of the future, on a high powered Offense. Rogers racked up 4,424 passing yards, 30 TDs with only 7 INTS. He rushed for another 316 yards and 5 TDs for a total of 269.48 points.

Wide Receiver #1 - Andre Johnson - Houston Texans.



The Texans missed the playoffs, but not much blame could be laid at the door of the 6' 3'' Miami product. Johnson led our Fantasy stats for all WRs with 101 receptions and 1569 yards. One of the best receivers in the game, he also contributed 9 touchdown catches for a total of 255.95 points. At just 29 years of age this July, Johnson has the time to build on his already fearsome reputation.

Wide Receiver #2 - Wes Welker - New England Patriots.



Injury disrupted Welker's post season, with a serious knee injury picked up against Houston in week 17, and there are doubts about his capacity to be the same Wes Welker when he returns. However there are no doubts that he was Tom Brady's go to guy in 2009, and is a prolific possession receiver. Operating largely out of the slot, he was targetted early and often in the Patriots passing game, and his stats bear this out. 123 receptions, for 1348 yards but only 4 TDs are testament to his role with the Pats, and his 252.82 points are pretty useful for a Fantasy Owner as well.

Running Back #1 - Chris Johnson - Tennessee Titans



Recognised now as the number 1 back in the league, Johnson lived up to that billing in our stats. The 24 year old 2nd year pro from East Carolina university lit up opposing run defenses in 2009, as he racked up 2006 yards and 14 TDs. He also caught 50 balls for 503 yards and a pair of TDs on his way to a huge 309.45 points. He seems to be agitating for more money at the moment, but assuming that doesn't distract him, and he steers clear of injury, it's a fair bet that Johnson will be the consensus #1 pick in next years Fantasy drafts.

Running Back #2 - Maurice Jones Drew - Jacksonville Jaguars.



Where would the Jags be without Jones Drew? It's a question not many Jacksonville fans would care to contemplate as the pocket dynamo (5' 7'') becomes the 3rd member of our All Star team to play for a non-playoff team. The Jags finished 7-9 and bottom of the AFC south with Jones' 1391 rushing yards, 15 rushing TDs, 53 receptions and 1 reception TD. His 256.29 points were probably more valuable to Fantasy Owners, but the Jags could well have been vying for the worst record in Football without him. Owners will watch the Jags in the off season, but it's likely to be more of the same next year, which is good news for his Fantasy value, bad for his real life prospects.

Flex Player (WR or RB) - Randy Moss - New England Patriots



The Patriots get another WR into the All Star team as Moss sneaks in as the best WR/RB not already on the team, and he managed another very good year numbers wise, despite the suspicion that he was not operating at 100% all the time. Moss hauled in only 83 balls, for 1264 yards, but he added 13 TDs for 244.20 Fantasy points. Moss has been one of the elite receivers for years in the NFL, but has been overtaken by Fitzgerald, Jennings, Johnson and even Welker in the public's perception. His stats say he still should be considered one of the genuine class operators at this level.

Tight End - Dallas Clark - Indianapolis Colts



The tight end position is experiencing a bit of a boom at the moment, as many offences see their Tight End as more than just a third down, check down receiver who is more used as an auxiliary lineman. People like Tony Gonzalez, Antonio Gates, Jason Witten and Todd Heap have led the way, but this year the man looking down on the rest with an impressive 225.85 fantasy points is Payton Manning's favourite guy, Dallas Clark. Clark fills the 'possession receiver' role that Wes Welker has made his own in New England, and he is frequently the #1 target for Manning, as well as picking up his fair share of balls as a 2nd or 3rd choice check down. In 2009, Clark caught 100 balls for 1106 yards, which would be very good numbers for a pure WR. He turned 10 of those catches into TDs, and all in all had another great Dallas Clark year for his fantasy, and real life, owners.

Kicker - Nate Kaeding - San Diego Chargers



It's been a funny old season for kickers, with huge numbers of big kicks missed, not least in the post season. It even affected Mr. Automatic, and our All Star in the Position, Nate Kaeding, in the post season as he almost single handedly dumped his Chargers out of the running at home to the Jets. It led to calls for his head from the Charger fans, but during the fantasy season there was quite simply no one better than the kicker from Iowa. He had 12 points to spare over his nearest challenger in our Fantasy league as he hit 32 out of 35 kicks and 50 of 51 PATS for 152 points. Unless he gets the road in the summer, he's probably another nailed on big producer next season.


Team Defense/Special Teams - San Francisco 49ers



It may be strange that an 8-8 team provide the best team defense/special teams in fantasy terms, but that's the case in our league as the NFC West 2nd place 49ers take the All Star award from the New York Jets. They allowed 275 points, but had some very impressive stats in other areas. 44 sacks, 18 Interceptions, 15 Fumbles recovered, 4 TDs and 2 Blocked Kicks all added up to an impressive 259 points. With the Niners expected to push on again next year, this Defense and Special Teams Unit may be worth picking up in the draft.


Defensive Back #1 - Charles Woodson - Green Bay Packers



There are sneaky points to be picked up with individual defense stats in our league, and the top man this year, also recognised at NFL level as defensive player of the year, was Woodson, the Corner for the Green Bay Packers. Woodson contributed 165.75 points this season as he made 66 tackles, 2 sacks, 9 Interceptions, 4 Forced Fumbles, and 3 TDs. Woodson may find himself being bypassed by opposing offenses next season, as he is one of the most feard ball hawks in the game.

Defensive Back #2 - Bernard Pollard - Houston Texans



The tough tackling safety from Purdue is the surprise 2nd ranked DB this season, as he weighed in with 139 points. A lot of his total was made up from 82 tackles, a lot of which were in the run game, but he also chipped in with 4 INTs, 3 Fumble recoveries and 2 TDs. A fine season on a team that missed the playoffs, and fantasy owners would love something similar next season.

Defensive Line/Linebacker #1 - Jared Allen - Minnesota Vikings



The mulleted madman from Idaho State proved himself one of the leagues most feared pass rushers again in 2009. His outstanding speed off the ball makes him a nightmare to block, and any team that tries to single team him on a passing down usually sees their QB picking grass off his facemask. Allen had 14.5 sacks in 2009, along with 1 safety, an Interception, 3 fumble recoveries and a TD. Not bad for a 4th round draft choice in 2004. All that amounted to a lot of pain for QBs, and 148 points for his fantasy owners.


Defensive Line/Linebacker #2 - Elvis Dumervil - Denver Broncos




The versatile Dumervil enhanced his already glowing reputation as a Linebacker who can double as a Defensive End in the NFL as he marauded his way to 17 sacks in 2009. His pass rush is another based on power and speed, and coming from the Linebacker position, he can really lay the timber on opposing QBs. He doesn't have gaudy stats like Allen in other areas, with only 1 recovered fumble and no TDs, but his overall effectiveness in the box for the Broncos meant he ended up with 132 points. Another 4th round pick, in 2006, from Louisville, he goes from strength to strength.
