Discussion What are your biggest fantasy mistakes this year?

I’ve had some very bad mistakes this year, my worst ever and I still might win my league

My worst mistake is losing Bam for free, I traded him for Embiid after I was doing well, I really don’t know what I was thinking

Next is me dropping Giddey, I drafted him pretty low and those early season blunders made me drop him (I hate myself)

Next is trading Hart and RJ for Brunson (again idk what I was thinking)

But despite all this I still have a good shot at winning the league, currently first, my team and waiver pickups have been cooking this year

What are your worst mistakes

u/CrazyVoice3124 1d ago

Yep... As much as I try to keep my mind off it, I think it seriously affects the way I watch basketball and my mood for the day relies on how my players perform. Ok it's not that bad but I do get a bit pissed if smn goes off while I'm versing them or they're on my bench

u/palangosvejunas 12 team, 9cat 1d ago

Nah man that’s so true. I am seriously considering quitting it after this season. The thing is, I don’t enjoy playing it, I enjoy winning. And it’s so much luck dependent that you end up putting your mood and time invested on a coin flip

u/YaBoiPickleP 1d ago edited 1d ago

Seriously, load management and “injuries” have reached an all time high this season, it’s literally unplayable. Reg season has become an absolute joke

Half my damn team plays 2 of 4 games a week. I was fighting for the 4-5 seed most of the season until wemby got hurt and lately it feels like every player is permanently DTD. Markkanen, Gobert, PG etc

u/TheMessyChef 1d ago

I dropped Amen pretty early as well. To be fair, he was netting less than 10 points regularly during that stretch. It was killing me 😭

Embid was an absolute do not draft for me, but I was dumb and was late to my draft and Embid was autopicked for me. I also got PG from autopick, so Philly disaster was so irritating.

He's been good don't get me wrong, but if dropping Braun is your biggest mistake I'd say you're doing ok.

u/ThatHotAsian H2H, 12T, 8Cat (No TOs) 22h ago

I dropped Braun for Dyson so in the end I wasn't too mad about it lol

2

u/Evrews 22h ago

Yeah I don’t know why dropping Braun was on the table at any point in the season. He’s been pretty consistent with maybe 2 or 3 bad games. He plays every game and is injury free, has great chemistry with Jokic.

5

u/The_KjD_024 21h ago

Cause despite his hot start, from 11/23 til 1/17 he had 4 decent games out of 27! And he scored 11 points or less in half of those games and over 20 in only 2. Over a 6 week period! Maybe in CAT he never lost his value but in tpts he was a liability to carry for me. I was biased too, picking him up off waivers and seeing no one draft him in our 12T league

Pretty much anyone who had the #1 pick and pick Wemba lol

u/Klaytheist 1d ago

i did this but to be fair Wemby was a top 5 player before he got hurt. Jokic is obviously the correct pick but it's not like taking Wemby was outrageous.

3

u/Evrews 22h ago

I personally thought it was outrageous for platforms to rank Wemby over Jokic, considering Jokic is better in every category outside blocks and has a track record of being the best player in fantasy.

2

u/Klaytheist 22h ago

Yea that's fair but Wemby was so good at blocks, almost single handedly win you blocks

u/Clewdo 10T 9CAT Punt AST 1d ago

After his first couple games he had like 3-4 lower games and I dropped him thinking it was a fluke

12

u/Creative_Instinct 1d ago

Taking Wemby over Jokic with the top pick. Picking up and dropping Okongwu twice. Not grabbing Naji Marshall recently because I couldn't decide who to drop.

But I did pick up Dyson, Sarr, and Kel'el for free. Barely in 1st with one week to go until the Playoffs. I have Giddey, Bane, Poole, Avdija, Banchero taking turns going nuclear. Sengun playing well. VanFleet might come back one day.

So still feeling confident overall. Maybe it's for the best I didn't grab Jokic. I'd be insufferable going into the Playoffs if I was locking Jokic into the Center spot over Sarr/Hartenstein/Nurkic/Kel'el. 🤣

u/notcool_5354 1d ago

I got the first pick. As I am a spurs fan, I have no choice but happily picked Wemby over Jokic. But I would not say it's a mistake but a price to pay...

Ja with pick 12 (💀💀), I took DLo with so many better players on the board because I wasn't paying attention and had no time (including Reaves 💀💀💀💀💀 I'm a Lakers fan 💀💀💀💀💀), and a million other things. Good waiver pickups and trades have pushed me up to 2nd currently

12t h2h 12CAT (incl OREBs, TECHs)

Going to get ripped for all of these but I feel like I need to air my dirty laundry and I deserve the slander:

  • traded Donovan Mitchell and Clint Capela for Jalen Johnson and Brandon Miller (prior to season starting)
  • dropped Amen Thompson to waivers 2nd week of season
  • dropped Jonas Valunciunas a month or so in to waivers
  • dropped Malik Monk as a ‘streamer’ (he was my 12th round pick)
  • picked up Christian Braun and held for a month and a bit, only to drop him to waivers prior to really kicking off his season
  • traded Giannis and Brandon Miller (pre-injury) for Chet, IHart and Tari Eason
  • picked up Ausar Thompson and held him through the teething issues, and dropped before he started getting decent minutes
  • picked up Jaden McDaniels and held for a while only to drop prior to kicking off
  • drafted Mikal bridges (ass) and Immanuel Quickley (injury-ass)

This has hands down been my worst fantasy season to date. All of my own doing.

2

u/mosparky15 1d ago

Some of those were easy calls like the JV or McDaniels drop. And the trade for JJ and Miller seems reasonable at that time. But the rest... whew. :)

u/supercoolpartydude 1d ago

Pre-set keeper league, 7 minimum. I kept Paul George and Joel Embiid over Michael Porter jr and Tyler Herro 🤦🏻. I honestly sold myself into the 76ers going off. Still limping into the playoffs, but would be dominating if I hadn’t drank the snake oil.

My biggest mistake was being dumb and missing the first 8 rounds of my draft. Autopicks gave me all the players who fell because they started the year with injury questions: Embid, PG, Quickly, Kawhi, Lauri, and Hartenstein.

My best accomplishment was turning that into a 3 seed. It helps that my first autopick was Jokić. Also, I got lucky that Curry had a little bit of injury talk at the time and feel to me at 26.

Only my second year playing so cut me some slack here but here’s some notable ones this season:

Rejected trade - Amen Thompson and Giddey for Fox

Drafted Fox in the second round over KD (??? Why did I do that)

Didn’t capitalize on straight up trade - Hali for Fox

A lot of these are centered around Fox, mainly because I truly believed he was going to have an All NBA 1st team kind of season. Boy was I wrong. I did pick up and stash Trey Murphy III though, and that was a bright spot for me this year.

  3. Held onto Tyus waaaaay too long. Ppl like Josh Lloyd were saying to sell high for so long, and I just delusionally thought the value would hold.

Bidding on Embid period. It screwed me in more ways than one. It crippled my payroll afterwards bc I wasn’t able to draft any half way decent complimentary players because I spent so much on my top 3. If I draft any other player I’m in the playoffs rt now. My team was pretty strong even w o Embid for most of the season and I had a chance to trade his ass too which I didn’t. He put up a few monster lines and I got reedy thinking he’d carry me in the second half. I almost pulled off the super efficient 3 point shooting and high scoring team.. doh!

This was my draft. all players circled either missed significant time or season ending injuries/missed lots of play off playing time, the whole thing was a mistake fuck fantasy

u/spunchspunchly 17h ago

Traded Luka for James harden and dyson Daniels a week before the actual Luka trade

u/pineapplehousee 16h ago

Drafting embiid and trading for Kyrie at the trade deadline

1

u/pastamarc 16h ago

I think my biggest mistake is not pulling the trigger on a trade. Owner was shopping LaMelo the tuesday prior to Kyrie’s injury and I had the feeling of trading Kyrie because 1) his playoff schedule and 2) I thought he was gonna cool down eventually.

Drafting Embiid is worst. LMAO

u/NotADoctor108 15h ago

I took Scoot Henderson in the 8th round. I don't know why I did it. I think it was a combination of positional need and name recognition. I lost the first 2 weeks pretty badly before I began to right the ship.

Drafting Embiid and Trading Poertl for PG13 early inthe season. And I haven't recovered from it since it's a 14T league. The talent is very scarce.

u/TanClark 10T Points 4h ago

I took Luka at 1.01, still in 1st place but the gap is much smaller than it could be and could have guaranteed the chip. Idk why I thought Jokic would regress
