Summer 2015 Starters Discussion (Who Do You Start Week 5?)

Nural··2 votes·952 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

Hi Nural,

How's it going man? I hope you're doing well this split. Another pick query i gotta ask. Should I pick either Hauntzer or Gamsu considering I already have Soaz as my starter. I'm a bit unsure because both Hautzer and Gamsu have both had pretty explosive splits. Another option I have is having one of them replace Hjarnan as my flex(I'm running Rekkles so I didn't want my players to verse each other this week). A third option is drop Rekkels for Hjarnan (not sure if you'd agree with that one given how much you love Fnatic players :P).

Thanks for reading, 0verheated

Hey Overheated!

Well, i'm winning 2 out of my 3 fantasy leagues, so thats a plus. Not to mention I just got to silver 1 today! :D LOOKING TOWARDS GOLD AND ONWARD BABY!!

Now as for your questions, Definetly start Soaz this week. OG has a fairly easy week ahead of them, so no need to over think this one in my opinion. However, I would definitely not be opposed to you running Gamsu in the flex due to DIG's easy week. Gamsu practically had 100% kill participation this past week of games, and he pretty much carried DIG to victory. And now DIG has a very, very easy week ahead of them. In the words of shia labeouf, "JUST DO IT."

And as for your ADC situation, luckily for you, you cant go wrong either way. They are both in the Top 5 adc's this split. Personally, I will tip my hat to Rekkles due to FNC being undefeated right now, but Hjarnan has exploded this split as well. Both are awesome, it just comes down to a matter of preference for me. And I prefer my Undefeated ADC :D

Hope this helped! GL GL!

Hey, I need some help with my team. I'm going up against one of the highest scoring teams in my league this week. Any help is appreciated.

My Team:

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

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

Top: Gamsu, fredy122, Jwaow, Vizicsacsi, Flaresz, CaliTrlolz8, Werlyb, Steve, YoungBuck Jung: Helios, Trashy, kez, Dexter, Meteos, Fr3deric, Airwaks, Jankos, Diamondprox Mid: Shiphtur, Fox, Froggen, mancloud, goldenglue, Innox, PepiiNeRO, Nukeduck, Soren ADC: Nien, CoreJJ, LattmaN, CandyPanda, Otter, Tabzz, Adryh, MrRalleZ Supp: nRated, Dodo8, Hylissang, Smoothie, Bodydrop, PromisQ, LemonNation, G0DFRED, Gosu Pepper, VandeR, Unlimited Team: H2K, DIG, UOL, SK, GV, T8, EL, NME, GMB, TDK, ROC, C9, GIA, CW

Opponent's Team:

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

What I need help with:

Top: Should I switch out Impact with Gamsu? DIG has a really easy week and Gamsu just dropped 78 points against TIP and TL. If I do pick up Gamsu, should I start him or SoaZ in the top position? Or should I drop SoaZ for Gamsu?

Jung: I'm pretty confident in Amazing and Move, but should I consider picking anyone up in the free agency? And who should I start in the Jung position?

Mid: Shiptur, Fox, and Froggen all scored pretty high numbers compared to Ryu in week 4. Should I consider picking one of them up? And if so, who should I start?

ADC: I'm confident in WildTurtle and Hjarnan, but Turtle is going up against CLG and Hjarnan is going up against FNC. Should I consider picking someone else up in case they do poorly?

Supp: Should I start YellOwStaR or Mithy?

Team: I'm pretty confident that OG will score huge points this week, but is there a better option than OG right now?

Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I'd definitely say put in SoaZ this week over Gamsu and Impact. Right now Gamsu is looking better than Impact so i'd keep him as an alt. Similar to C9 last split DIG is doing well as a team but their points aren't usually that high. Gamsu exploded last week but chances are that won't happen again. I'd wait to see how he does week 5 to keep him as a reliable pick. With OG's matchup I can easily see SoaZ getting at least a free 50 points.

For jung i'd keep Amazing in. About switching one of them out for a free agent, possibly trade Move for Helios. Similar to Gamsu I think you should wait to see how he does week 5 first.

Mid go with either Ryu, Shiphtur, or Froggen. Since I don't see a better option for you in flex than Hjarnan putting in Ryu with him wouldn't be a bad idea. I can see them both getting a good 15 points in the FNC game, along with them possibly getting crazy points against SK. But if you're worried about Ryu, Shiphtur would be my second choice seeing as DIG has a pretty easy matchup.

ADC: Yea like i said before about Ryu, keep in Hjarnan. As for WT they are playing T8 and CLG. T8 is probably gonna be some good points for them. The last time TSM played CLG they won along with some decent fantasy points. So I think WT is still a pretty solid pick this week.

Supp: Looking at your matchup your opponent is running Huni, Rekkles, and FNC as his team, so you should be safe keeping yellowstar in. Mithy could possibly do better but Yellow is the safer option. You can't go wrong either way.

For your team definitely keep in OG i can see them with an easy 2-0 this week.
