Summer 2015 Starters Discussion & Week 7 Analysis (Who Do You Start Week 8?)

Nural·7/15/2015, 12:10:12 AM·2 votes·4,279 views

Hi there!

Ok, so the purpose of this forum is exactly what the title describes, to help people set up their best line up possible heading into the next week of games. We've all experienced a moment where we are choosing between two players, not sure which one will have the better turn-out with regards to their current match-ups, their record, if their on a losing streak, new subs of the team, etc. This can now become a place where the fantasy community can help each other out with their rosters so that they are receiving their full potential each and every week. This can also be a place to discuss possible Add/Drop possibilities. Anyway, everyone can understand the purpose behind this forum now.

Just simply post a question about who you are deciding between, along with your reasonings behind why you should and shouldn't start them. Then hopefully a fellow fantasy community member will be able to respond and help you make your decision. Anyone can help out! Multiple opinions and beliefs are better than just one! Remember, Strength in numbers.

Disclaimer: Human beings cannot foresee the future, everything posted on here are just calculated predictions/opinions.

Hopefully this now provides a means for all of us as a community to help each other in achieving the glorious 1st place spot in your respected leagues, along with the entitled sensation of "Bragging Rights." Best of luck to all of you! #FantasyLCS #DecisionsAreHard

Week 7 Analysis

Literally, not gonna lie, Week 7 panned out pretty much as it should've. Looking back on everything, (Minus the Fault of SK's week), All of the teams that should've gone 2-0 did, same can be said for the 1-1 teams. This like, NEVER happens in fantasy. And to be completely honest, I think its gonna be the same this week. Literally, All of the top-tier teams have great schedules. So This week should be as black and white as can be.

To be completely honest, there aren't many clear sleepers this week, so Im going to touch on a couple of points.

  1. FNC and GV. These are the clear front runners in their respected regions. Im gonna keep it short and sweet and say that if you have a FNC or GV player and you aren't starting them for some insane reason... do it. Once again, they are both primed to go 2-0 this week!

  2. The biggest sleeper pick for the week is Origen. Origen has been very lack luster as of late, but this is a week where they should be able to come out with the 2-0. They face SK and GMB. SK faltered last week unfortunately, and GMB has seen better days. OG is a good team, they've just been plagued with 1-1 weeks recently. However, OG, in my opinion, definitely stronger than both that of GMB and SK. #StayStrongAndRideTheOGHypeTrain! (That hash tag was stupidly long).

  3. KIKIS IS GONE. IF YOU'VE GOT KIKIS, YOU GOTTA SWAP HIM. However, with that being said, UOL's week looks promising. Just like OG above, they face SK and GMB. UOL came out big last week, and they could very well do the same. The only reason why Im hesitant to list them as a major sleeper is because of the roster swap. This is the first major roster change UOL has done since their debut in the LCS. And as we all know, roster changes have their effects on the team's synergy. Feel free to start the major ones such as Vardags and POE. But I wouldnt run more than two in my opinion. Not until we see this team and their new Jungler in action.

  4. TSM has been lacking. This whole ADC situation is really hurting TSM performance as of late. They have been performing just average in the Fantasy side of things, and I wouldn't be too surprised to see a repeat performance this week. They face a very, VERY hot TIP. I actually am going to tip my hat in favor of TIP here over TSM. (See what I did there? XD) TSM doesnt do well with 1-1 weeks, So I would only start one TSM person this week on your roster. (That person being Bjergsen and/or WildTurtle ((If he starts that is....)) ).

Ill post the chart later tomorrow, I just havent had the time to go through it and adjust it yet. (Very busy weekend :/ )

But basically, EU's top teams all should do well. I know last week was a little troublesome with the FMC vs. H2K/OG matchups, but now FNC, H2K, OG should all be back to doing well.

(In place for my chart at the current moment) My top 5 teams for this week are...

  1. FNC
  2. GV
  3. TIP
  4. H2K
  5. OG

Hope this helped! GL GL!

Hey everyone! My matchup for this week is a tiebreaker for first! I'd like to win :D Here's the matchup: http://gyazo.com/4520939dab502da59985ba2aeb83e5ed I feel like it's a pretty close matchup, strong EU vs strong NA. Not sure if I should start Hauntzer or Soaz, Bunny FuFuu or Kasing, and xPeke, Fenix, or Vardags

In another league, Tabzz or Adryh? Here's my roster: http://gyazo.com/b9b89bd8b2756ee1c3c4c83b7c028438

In my last league, Move or Amazing? Here's that roster: http://gyazo.com/51896b2b9c8f98455c8e55bd673f50d3

I'm stuck in a rough place with junglers. I have ALL of Origen except Amazing, Doublelift, Bjerg, Lust Boy, and GV. Svenskeren is my current jungler, and he is by far the best available in the pool (all expected at 28pts and below).

So, who should I offer to trade out for a jungler? I've offered XPeke for the top tier junglers, but no bites there.

Somewhat aside second question here, but now that we've finished the 7-man round robin, how is it decided who we play next? I don't want to trade to someone with whom I may be competing for place. Thanks!

Hey guys, I need some help with my roster. Any and all feedback is appreciated.

Free Agents (in order of points scored last week):

What I need help with:

Top: Are there any other better options than SoaZ at the moment? If so, who would be the best option?

Jung: I'm quite confident in Move, but is there someone who is better than Amazing right now? If so, who should I pick up?

Mid: Are there better options than Ryu or Ninja in the free agency? If so, who should I pick up and who should I drop?

ADC: WildTurtle has not been playing his best recently. I'm wondering if I should start Hjarnan in the ADC spot and put someone else at the Flex position. Is this a smart decision? If so, who should be starting at the Flex?

Supp: Lol, YellowStar is bae.

Team: I'm pretty confident in Gravity right now. No need for changes in my opinion.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Any and all feedback is appreciated. Have a good day and good luck to you in week 8!

This is the Comp that i'm running for Week 8

Top: Hauntzer Jungle: Reignover Mid: PowerOfEvil Adc: Vardags Support: YellowStar Flex: Niels Team: Gravity

Alternates: Move/ Bunny FuFuu/ Dyrus(i dont plan on using any of them)

Although the possibility of UOL doing either really well or sub-par is a risk willing to take if you take into account their records against the lower tier teams. Fnatic has a pretty easy week as well as do Gravity, and seeing as both of these teams are 1st in both regions, i would try to get as many members on your roster as possible. As for OG Niels, even in his losing games he has allways managed to get around 18 points or so, while in his winning matches he gets about 28 points, he takes the word "carry" to the truth and is an overall well performing player and highly recommend having him as a flex or starting adc.

This comp got an estimates of 305 points last week, and seeing as though the matches for these teams are less of a challenge then last weeks, I expect the comp to get just as much, if not more. Other than that, i Believe it is be essential to at least get some if not as much players from both Fnatic and Gravity if u want to have a clean week and not to worry about a possible loss.

P.S There is a 4-way tie for 1st place in my Fantasy League and im one of them, Basically this week is final determination for who will win the Fantasy Split and i Intend to keep My Title of Bragging Rights.

Hello Nural! Sorry to bother ya, but any opinions regarding this line up I'm against? I'm the one on top while the bottom is my opponents Roster.

growlithe12347/15/2015, 9:20:01 PM1 votes

ok so here is my roster: top: huni jungler: jankos mid: xiaoweixiao adc: doublelift supp: bunny fufuu flex: keane team: TIP

Alts: MRrallez Gilius Hylissang

my dilema is really the jungle position, (i had helios, but then dig started to slip) but now the best jungler avaliable is svenskeren and gilius. im really thinking about starting gilius but im not sure. other notable free agents are porpoise hai fr3deric and shook. so who should i start out of these. also how does the rest of my roster look? thanks and peace.

Hi there, basically like everyone else, I'd really like to win this next week if possible. My matchup is attached below and here are my and my opponent's alts: Me: Zion Spartan Bjergsen Santorin

Opponent: Pepiinero Bunny Fufuu Team Dignitas

So, I decided to bench all of my TSM for this week for obvious reasons, and I was debating picking up PowerOfEvil. I don't however want to drop Bjergsen just yet and have it backfire, and I think Ryu is a safer pick this week due to the changes to UOL, however PowerOfEvil did very well last week which makes the switch tempting....

etc etc...any advice is welcome!

Axis the Dragon7/16/2015, 8:00:59 AM1 votes

My opponent has Huni, Reignover AND team FNC, which is just killer. xD Not to mention Keane and Altec, that's terrifying. And remember, even if TIP does well, he's starting Adrian =P I'm like really scared of going against this guy lol

Anyway, there's nothing much I can do except start my highest point-generating players, honestly. My main gripe is just who to start as Support: KaSing, or Mithy? They both have pretty easy weeks ahead of them. I'm leaning more towards KaSing because Giants are a very violent squad (lots of kills for both teams means that a lot of points are gonna get spread around), plus Copenhagen Wolves. That, and SK are still pretty hot despite a lackluster Week 7, so they might really bite at OG's points this week. But still, it's OG! They're just such a good all-around team. Ahhh, the dilemma.

Hi Nural! Not sure what I should do this week.

So my starting roster as of right now is: Top: Gamsu Jungle: Jankos Mid: Bjergsen Adc: Hjarnan Sup: Yellowstar Flex: Adyrh Team: Gravity

My Bench right now is: Flarez, Hai, & Pepiinero

I think for the most part I'm in good shape except I'm unsure what to do in the top lane, jungle, and flex. I had kikis so I knew i had to pick up someone in place for him. Also in that dilemma of having both carries from Giants so it's always a toss up of who to play which week.

Also Best available players in my league. Top: Werlyb, Steve, Jwoaw, Seraph, Lenny Jungle: Trashy, Frederic, Dexter, Kez, Diamondprox, Shook, Gilieus Mid: Nukeduck, Fox, Betsey, Goldenglue. Ninja ADC: CoreJJ, Otter, Tabzz, Forgiven, MrRalliez, Keith Support: Godfred, Vander, KiwiKid, Dodo, Bodydrop, Smoothie

Any and all advice greatly appreciated :)

Xviper7/16/2015, 11:20:46 AM1 votes

Hey guys just wanted some feedback on my decision

Top: should i start huantzer, quas or odoamne i have access to all of them and i believe that huantzer is the best option Mid: Fenix, Ryu, Xpeke or Powerofevil i have Fenix starting but i have my doubts about weather ryu will get more points based on the schedule

Any advice is much appreciated

I was really worried with how gillius played vs sk, but he managed to get me 31 points, which is ok i guess. really my only saving grace was that gv managed to win day 2 with a few baron steals and that adrian only started one game.
