Summer 2015 Starters Discussion & Week 5 Analysis (Who Do You Start Week 6?)
JUST A HEADS UP: DUE TO TIME CONSTRICTIONS, I WILL BE POSTING THE UPDATED CHART LATER IN THE DAY TODAY. SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE!
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 5 Analysis
Ok!
So before I get into my sleeper picks for week 6, there is something I want to address. A couple of people have posted and message me asking why my analysis is very Macro oriented rather than Micro oriented. What I mean by this is that you will see articles and posts made by Josh and Riot about individual player sleepers, or basically focusing on the analysis at the individual level. (A.K.A the Micro level). Where as most of my analysis is not as focused on the individual, but rather the team as a whole. (A.K.A the Macro level).
The reason being is that while I do think it is important to look at the players at an individual level because it does allow us to find these upcoming star players, I think looking at the teams as a whole serves better at identifying sleepers heading into each individual week. More often than not in fantasy, If a team does good/bad any given week, the players on that team score ROUGHLY the same amount of points. Yes, the MID and ADC will most likely score more points than the Top laner, but the difference between their scores wont be that high. Just go look back at the stats for any given team, in any given week in fantasy. (Hell just look at TIP's scores on the top 5 chart. There all right next to each other!) This is why my analysis is very macro focused, because identifying the teams who are going to do well each an every week is the most important past in fantasy. Everything kinda falls into place after that.
Once we Identify that, THEN we can look at the individual level if need be.
SO! Who are my biggest sleepers heading into week 6?

SK. YES. You read that correctly. SK the past two weeks have had pretty good weeks in fantasy. They have had back to back weeks of scoring 40+ points. The important thing to note is that these past two weeks, SK has been going up against the lower end of the table teams, and now they are about to do the same thing again for week 6. They face Giants and ROC. The lost to Giants back in week 2, but that was when GIANTS was on a hot streak, and SK looked absolutely awful. I actually think the tables are now turned heading into that game. Not to mention SK was able to overcome ROC as well. With this in mind, I believe SK will have another great week in fantasy.

TIP. Whether or not you started them last week, I believe TIP will have another insane week this week. They go up against NME and CLG. First off, the TIP vs. NME game was a gold mine for points with TIP. However, I want to focus on the CLG game in particular. CLG went 0-2 last week, the worst CLG has done this split. They went up against some of the toughest teams in NA, and they crumbled under the pressure. (Once again, they were unable to beat TSM. Thats going to get in CLG's players heads a lot). A 0-2 week may be the rude awakening from CLG's honeymoon phase. So on the flip side, TIP had the best week in fantasy last week. They performed SO well as a team, and if they can carry that over into this next week of games, they should have ZERO problem in going 2-0 again!
Unfortunately, Due to time constrictions, I wont be able to host the Fantasy Show tonight. However, if you guys would still like me to, I could host it either tomorrow in the evening, or I can even host it an hour or so before the EU games start and answer any last minute questions you may have! Let me know in the comments below what you'd guys would prefer.
