Summer 2015 Starters Discussion & Week 6 Analysis (Who Do You Start Week 7?)

Nural·7/6/2015, 11:17:43 PM·2 votes·3,910 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 6 Analysis

So in the interest of time, Im going to just skip right ahead to the sleepers. If you want more In-depth analysis, Be sure to tune into the show on WEDNESDAY, 5 PM CENTRAL! (Yes. The Poll was speaking loud and clear to me haha). :D

http://www.twitch.tv/nurai900/profile


SO! Who are my sleepers heading into week 7?

  1. SK...AGAIN. SK has had three, back to back weeks of solid Fantasy Action. They have put up 50+ points in these past three weeks. And the best part is.... their record doesn't show it. I highly doubt people in your league are running SK members in their roster. And right now, SK IS KILLIN IT IN FANTASY. And it's not going to stop anytime soon. They face GMB and CW. Two lower tier teams that is sure to have very sloppy play, (And lots and lots of points to be had on top of it as well).

  2. UOL. I know I mention UOL like every other week, but guys... This week is as real as it gets. They face CW and EL. Once again, as stated above, lower tier teams = POINTS POINTS POINTS. Not to mention that UOL has been fairly consistent these past two weeks. Nothing flashy, but just solid. However, this should be a very nice and simple 2-0 week for them; and thats EXACTLY what we like to see in Fantasy.

...Plus, who doesn't want to have the power of unicorns on their roster? (Jerks. Thats who...)

  1. GIANTS. I'm SO happy that i'm able to write their name here again. But its true! Giants came back with a vengeance last week to say the least. They looked like the giants we knew and loved back in the beginning of the split and that aggression and passion should be here to stay as we head toward the end of the split. They went 1-1 last week and was able to crush the fantasy scene. Not to mention, they scored the majority of their points against FNC!! They are still primed to go 1-1 this week (OG and GMB), but who isn't to say that they wont repeat their week 6 performance. GIANTS is a very notable pick up this week in my opinion.

The most Honorable of Honorable Mentions

GV: Guys. Im saying this here and now. But GV is the best team in NA in my opinion. This is not just because of the TSM game yesterday, but as GV's performance as a whole this entire split. Every single win from them can be summed up in three words. Solid. Clean. Clear. They come in with a clear game plan, the completely take charge of all of their games, and they rarely falter. Whether or not people are aware of this already, but GV is primed to have a 2-0 week. (C9 and NME). If you've got a GV on your bench, You better start them. Like right now. (Seriously, stop reading this sentence and go put in your GV members....)

GL GL!!!

Just barely won last week, my opponent was 10 points away from beating me, but alas, I'm 5-1 and in first place :) Here's my matchup, facing my league's punching bag.

My starters: Huni | Reignover | Febiven | Niels | YellowStar | Fredy122 | SK My bench: Hjarnan | H2K | Pepiinero

His starters: Jwaow | Dexter | Shiphtur | Emperor | Kiwikid | Svenskeren | TDK His bench: Ninja | NRated | Vardags

Thoughts on my ADC, Flex and Team picks?

Am I making the right choices here? http://gyazo.com/c0a8761a765b6d0d3bc2de90f1c7ad58 http://gyazo.com/a9c188ac8c47645fa38b0984bc124708

Best available players: Fredy, Gamsu, Cabochard Move, Skenskeren, Xmithie, Kikis Fox, Keane, Froggen, Shiphtur Tabzz, Freeze, Forgiven, Vardags Adrian, Nrated, Vander, Hylissang

I'm thinking SK > GMB actually, so I expect a 2-0 from SK. As crazy as this sounds, should I bench either Febiven or Rekkles? I feel like they will still score just fine even with this week (if not even higher!) Also glad I could snag Fufuu and Hauntzer before anyone else. (Move and Keane are still available too)

TL;DR

  • Dropping Xmithie for Svenskeren or nah
  • Dropping one of Core JJ & Vardags for Adryh and starting one of them or nah
  • DIG vs TIP - Bench Impact or Gamsu?
  • Rush or Xmithie (or Sven if I get him)?
  • My chances against the stacked team I described below?

Screenshot button still dysfunctional, so here we go with manual entry... also, I apologize for the long post, though most of the length is because I listed potential pickups vertically x)

Current Roster:

Top: Impact (Bench: Gamsu) Jungler: Rush (Bench: Xmithie) Mid: XwX ADC: Vardags (Bench: CoreJJ, considering Adryh) Support: KaSing (Mithy and Kiwikid available, but there's no one I want to drop) Flex: Ryu Team: Gravity

Acquisitions: Team Gravity, Ryu, (Maybe Adryh) Drops: Team CLG, Shiphtur, (Maybe CoreJJ)

Who I'm up against:

Top: Dyrus (Bench: Quas) Jungler: IWDominate Mid: Fenix (Bench: Shiphtur) ADC: Piglet Support: Yellowstar (Bench: Xpecial) Flex: Doublelift Team: Liquid

Lol, yeah, I'm against a major TL fan

Seriously though, on a scale of 1 to 10, how fucked am I

Potential pickups:

UoL

  • Team
  • PowerofEvil
  • Hylissang
  • Vizicsacsi

Impulse

  • Team

Giants

  • Team
  • Adryh
  • Fr3deric

SK

  • Team
  • Svenskeren
  • nRated

OG

  • Mithy

TDK

  • Team
  • Ninja
  • Emperor
  • Seraph

GMB

  • Team
  • Forg1ven
  • Cabochard

DIG

  • Kiwikid
  • Helios

EL

  • Team
  • Froggen
  • Tabzz

ROC

  • Team
  • Jankos

I'm fully aware of DIG's easier upcoming Week (compared to H2K's, at least), but I really need a consistent mid other than XwX for the long run, and H2K looking back to their real selves, they might finally put up a fight against Fnatic - so I traded my Shiphtur for another dude's Ryu. Hoping against hope!

I'm also somewhat torn between CoreJJ, Vardags and Adryh, main reason I'm leaning towards Vardags is because Giants are against Origen, SK up against GMB/CW (they got thrashed in both prior games against these teams, though obviously things change) - meanwhile, UoL are facing CW and EL - so I'm probably just gonna start Vardags.

Very much considering dropping Core JJ for Adryh though. Core JJ seems to have better "lows" but Adryh has better "highs" (Low C23.10 vs A15.93, High C58.70 vs A62.58). Average Points: C 19.84 vs A 20.14. Core JJ did fairly average well agaisnt C9 (22.75) and TIP (26.02), whereas Adryh tanked against OG (9.31) and GMB (10.00). Thoughts?

I could also trade Xmithie for Svenskeren, though I'm not sure if it's a good idea in the long run

Hey, I'm going up against the highest scoring team this week and if I win, I could be number one in my league. Please help me out. Any and all feedback is appreciated.

My Team:

Top: fredy122 Jung: Amazing Mid: Ryu ADC: WildTurtle Supp: YellOwStaR Flex: Hjarnan Team: Origen Alt: SoaZ, Mithy, Fox

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

Top: Werlyb, Impact, Vizicsacsi, Steve, Flaresz, Gamsu, CaliTrlolz8, Lenny, Jwaow Jung: Fr3deric, Trashy, Diamondprox, Move, Jankos, kez, Helios, Hai, Shook, Dexter Mid: PepiiNeRO, Nukeduck, Betsy, Innox, Shiphtur, goldenglue, Soren, Froggen ADC: Adryh, MrRalleZ, Otter, KEITH, Emperor, CoreJJ, Nien, Freeze, Tabzz Supp: nRated, G0DFRED, Hylissang, Bodydrop, Gosu Pepper, VandeR, Smoothie, Dodo8, LemonNation, Je suis Kaas, Nyph Team: H2K, Gravity, SK Gaming, Gambit Gaming, GIANTS GAMING, Team 8, Unicorns Of Love, Team Dragon Knights, Enemy Esports, ROCCAT, Team Dignitas, Cloud9, Copenhagen Wolves, Elements

Opponent's Team:

Top: Huni Jung: Santorin Mid: Pobelter ADC: Rekkles Supp: Bunny FuFuu Flex: CandyPanda Team: Fnatic Alt: Ninja, Svenskeren, Adrian

What I need help with:

Is fredy122 the best top lane option right now or is there someone else worth replacing him?

Is it a smart decision to drop SoaZ and Mithy? If so, who should I consider picking up?

Should I also pick up PepiiNeRO and drop Ryu? Ryu is going up against Fnatic this week, and I'm not sure if I can rely on him to score a large amount of points. If I do pick of Pepi, should I start him or Fox?

Also, I'm not sure if I should keep Hjarnan in my Flex position. Should I replace him? If so, who would be the best option?

Should I keep YellOwStaR in at the support position, or is there a better option? And how about WildTurtle; is there someone else that I could replace him with?

Thank you for taking the time to read this. All feedback is appreciated.

Any thoughts?

I am now in a 2 way tie for first and ive scored the most points this season by almost 100. I'm versing the other person im tied with. Top: Huni Jg: Xmithie or svenskeren Mid: XwX Adc: Piglet Sup: Kasing, Adrian Flex: Corejj, CandyPanda or forgiven Team: TIP

If i win this i basically won my league. The big question really is coreJJ or CandyPanda corejj is has been consistent with points lately, but candypanda has been doing pretty well and I like his match-ups this week. Im going to start svenskeren, but Xmithie is still in the question. Last time kasing vs. Fnatic he only scored 17 points that week. He also versed Sk that week, but im a little worried about starting him this week.

Lengban7/7/2015, 6:15:52 AM1 votes

Bit worried about my week. I've been having consistently bad weeks where I pick good players, but the weeks turn out awful for them. Last week was good for me, but I still lost by a veeeery slim margin, and looking to face an... Interesting week matchup this week too against the number two of my league.

My Roster: Hauntzer/Santorin/xPeke/Niels/Mithy/Altec/Team Liquid My Opponent: Quas/IWDominate/Febiven/Apollo/Bunny FuFuu/Piglet/Fnatic

My Alts: Soaz/Yellowstar/Fenix

Potential Pickups: Top: Freddy122/Gamsu/Odoamne (Which I don't favor since he's against Fnatic who shut him down hard last time) Jungle: Move/Svenskeren Mid: Power of Evil/Shiptur ADC: Candypanda/WildTurtle (If I wasn't afraid of him getting switched with Keith again) Support: Adrian/Lustboy/xSpecial Teams: Gravity/SK/H2K

My only reasoning behind Mithy over Yellowstar is that Yellowstar is against both the number two teams and I feel they might make it harder for him to score as many points vs Mithy having a game against Giants to potentially get more from. There are more alts I could look into getting but I'm afraid of most of their lack of consistency.

Zalker7/7/2015, 6:05:54 PM1 votes

Just a quick one today - who to start at ADC? Niels, Otter or CandyPanda?

Niels - usually the obvious choice but has a tough matchup at FNC this week.

Otter - Has been (quietly) putting up roughly 40 points a week.

CandyPanda - big numbers the last two weeks, but SK was so bad the first few weeks of the season I'm inclined to think it was a flash in a pan.

I've got SoaZ, Amazing, xPeke and another one of these three ADCs for my flex spot. I'm inclined to go Otter and Niels, but I wanted to ask you if maybe CandyPanda and Niels would be a better run. Thanks in advance!

Late registration here but I popped into another fantasy league (yeah, it's gonna be a short one with only 3 weeks, but it should be pretty tight now that we know who the best players are). Fresh league but with a full 8 players, it's gonna be an even race

My roster:

  • Top: Huni (Bench: Gamsu)
  • Jungler: Svenskeren
  • Mid: Fenix
  • ADC: Rekkles (Bench: Otter)
  • Support: nRated (Bench: KaSing)
  • Flex: Pepiinero
  • Team: Gravity

Feels solid giong into Week 7, shouldn't have too many upsets

Opponent's Roster:

  • Top: SoaZ (Bench: JWaow)
  • Jungler: Loulex (Bench: Trashy)
  • Mid: Pobelter (Bench: Ninja)
  • ADC: Hjarnan
  • Support: Lustboy
  • Team: Elements
  • Flex: Piglet

He's really strong too, I have a bit of a good feeling on this round though

Free Agent Contenders: Forg1ven | Team SK | Cabochard Innox | Betsy | Team DIG Werlyb | Kiwikid | Fr3deric Helios | Team UoL

Any recommended changes?

Hi, right now I'm first in my League but there are two people just one win behind me. I want to win this week so I can pull ahead and try and secure first place. Any advice would be great. This is my team.

Top: ZionSpartan (Huni as alt) Jungle: Reignover (Rush as alt) Mid: XWX ADC: Apollo Support: Adrian (Lustboy as alt) Flex: Altec Team: Gravity

My opponent's team

Top: Odoamne Jungle: Santorin Mid: Bjergsen ADC: Hjarnan Supp: Aphromoo Flex: Incarnation Team: TSM

All of the SK and UOL players are free agents. Thoughts? Thanks!

CaptainWomp7/8/2015, 6:21:39 AM1 votes

Zion Visi or Impact for top? i know you have zion lower on the chart but i still see him getting some decent points seeing that they have a pretty easy matchup. TDK and NME

0verheated7/9/2015, 5:55:48 AM1 votes

Hi Nural,

It's been a while but once again I have returned to pick your brain about some queries. Firstly, I want to know your opinion regarding the top 3 EU teams(Fnatic, H2K, Origen) because you didn't mention them: how do you think they'll fare this week? Do you think Fnatic will be ale to pull a 2-0 week?or do you you think Origen/H2k will be able to stop the unstoppable 12-0 Fnatic?

Now onto some player queries: I currently have Hjarnan as my flex, but I'm looking to replace him for either Candypanda, XWX, Fox or Vardags. Which do you think I should switch Hjarnan for id you think I should swap him out at all. Secondly, sitting in my bench for the past few days has been Mithy, Soaz and Amazing. I was wondering what you think I should do with them? Recently they have been pretty lack luster in terms of points as opposed to others. What are your opinions of Origen and do you think they can return to their point-hoarding days of WK 1 and 2?

Thanks for once again reading my wordy paragraphs, 0verheated

Abort mission! SK looking so weak against Cabochard's Yasuo right now. We may have jumped the gun in assuming SK was gonna have an easy week xD

Axis the Dragon7/10/2015, 6:18:28 PM1 votes

GIANTS! GIANTS! GIANTS!

They always look pretty shaky against the top-tier teams but then BANG! Complete domination over Gambit. It was a good idea to start Adryh over Ryu. 10/1/8 with a Triple? Thanks for the points, boys!

On THAT note... H2K, what happened? I thought y'all bounced back. KaSing isn't looking too solid at 23 points, but he did his thing. Ryu, though... :c I'm starting to regret picking him up. Hopefully they come back next week!

Axis the Dragon7/10/2015, 6:30:58 PM1 votes

NOTICE

Unicorns of Love's JUNGLER, KIKIS, will be leaving the team after this game against Elements. Make sure y'all bench/replace him after this week is over!
