Starters Discussion & Week 7 Analysis (Who Do You Start Week 8?)
**UPDATE: Just want to thank everyone for their support during this CRAZY split. Everyone was awesome, hope you all ended in 1st place! Once again, cant thank you enough! See you this summer ;D **
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
OH BABY WE'RE BACK! Yes, thats right. Its been about a week or so but I think everybody's ready to get back and wrap up this 2015 Spring Split. We've only got two weeks left, and this is where things start to get interesting (In respect to fantasy at least). So here are a couple of things...
By now, everyone should know where they individually stand in each of their respected leagues, and your decision making from here on out needs to be in respect to where you stand. If you're sitting comfortably at the top of your league, theres no need to play it risky anymore and just play it safe. However, if you're more near the bottom, If faced with a decision between two players, you gotta take the more risky option here. Playing it safe near the bottom at this time in the split is pointless. You gotta now take the risky decisions here to try and eek out these last two victories. (This also applies to the people in the middle of the pack as well). So for those who need some calculated risk choices, Below are my sleepers for this week.
SLEEPERS!!!
-
TIP: ALL ABOOOOOOOOOOOOOARD THE TIP HYPE TRAIN. Im pretty sure you've heard me say this once or twice before, but now this time has a little more weight to it. TIP had an AMAZING showing week 7, (Apollo, Rush, and XIX in particular), in landing 50+ points. And that was including facing C9 as well!! TIP are now facing punching bag coast and WFX, both are teams that are just simply struggling. As I said earlier in the split, TIP had the components to being a top tier team this split, they just needed to get the communication and teamwork polished up thats all. And now I think that time as officially come. Expect them to be BIG powerhouses for points this week.

ROC. Yes. You saw correctly. Now let me say something before I go any further, ROC is the riskier sleeper pick between the two, and if given the choice, you should choose a TIP player over a ROC player. Only pick a ROC player if you need to take a risk this week. Ok, now with those disclaimers out of the way, let me tell you why. ROC's week 7 looked daunting to say the least going up against UOL and SK (Given how they've been playing the past couple of weeks). However! They were all able to land 40+ points last week! Granted, they are up against FNC this week. But if they were able to take down SK, whats to say they cant take down FNC? Not to mention they are also up against Giants, (And a general theme with Giants games is that they do tend to be more bloodbathy). Not to mention ROC showed fantastic amounts of team work in week 7, (Which is something they've been struggling with for the last 3 weeks of the split). They have the potential to carry over their success in week 7 into week 8.

GMB. This is not so much as a sleeper, but more of a reassurance. Week 7's hottest question was whether or not to start a H2K player or a GMB player. They both were on a winning streak, and H2K came out on top. However, that does not mean you need to jump off the GMB Hype train! Even in their loss to H2K, they were still able to come out with 30+ points in week 7! And now they are facing EL and MYM. There week, on paper, is fairly light, and they should have no issue in overcoming the EU punching bag MYM and the Roster Changing EL. Pinoy has been playing out of his mind, where he is consistently scoring roughly 40+ points for the past 4 weeks!. I love GMB this week.
As always, feel free to post questions below! And Ill try to get back to them as soon as I can!
Welcome Back!! :D
