Starters Discussion (Who Do You Start Week 3?)

Nural·2/2/2015, 11:39:53 PM·16 votes·15,128 views

UPDATE: Week 4's forum has been posted (It should be under the "Hot" section). Be sure to check it out for week 3 analysis and ask any questions about week 4 there.

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 possibilites. 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.

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! #LCS #Fantasy #DecisionsAreHard

I'm starting: http://puu.sh/foCQl/8b9245e062.png

Had to make a tough call to bench Quas (TL) after an awful 2nd week as well as Rush (TIP) who has been underperforming. Was also able to pickup Steeelback who has been really consistent this split so far. We'll see if it pans out!

I'm struggling in the Toplane between Zion/Dyrus (both have rather 'easy' matchups this week) also I'm kinda unsure if Hai or XiaoWeiXiao (TIP) in Mid. My starting Jungler is Rush(TIP), tho I'm kinda unsure about this as they face Gravity and TSM this week. (Helios (WFX) would be the Alternate) My flex pick is Altec (WFX) as so far he been consistent.. any tips for me? :P

Here's my team so far

I'm wondering if I should put Svenskeren in, even though I foresee a tough game vs Elements this week. If I do put him in, I don't know if I should swap out Reignover or Pobelter for him, because very few people run anything other than Mid/AD in the flex spot.

Quas or Zionspartan?

http://puu.sh/fp4zH/8f80fb4b43.png

I'm thinking that Quas (and Team Liquid) will bounce back after they have some time to improve their synergy with Piglet as well as due to their easier week (last week was TSM and C9. And even though CLG's week is also relatively light, Zionspartan didn't score too many points in their two wins last week.

My main problem is whether to start pobelter or keane in the mid lane this week. Pobelter has been solid starting for me the first two weeks, and hes been really pretty consistent, but I question how well winterfox is going to do as a team this week as they seem like they might be falling off a little bit. On the other hand, keane has been playing consistenly lately as has gravity, and I think that they are going to have a strong week but I'm just not sure whether one option will really be better than the other. Help would be greatly appreciated.

My main problem is Fenix/Cop Flex because fenix had a great week 1 and a very weak week 2 and cop was consistent all 2 weeks, but Fenix gonna have a easy week 3 rather then Cop. Any tips pls? will give a freeitem 2009

I'm really on the fence as to whether or not I should start Impact or Fredy this week. Impact went full ham on Team 8 last week, but Fredy scored 44 points. They both have tough match-ups this week so I really don't know who to choose.

Thanks! I think I have this week in the bag.

Basing my squad on TSM, C9, and Liquid this week. Three pretty strong NA teams with fairly easy schedules. SK and Element are on my subs as they're playing each other on Friday.

Im trying to decide who to put in as my flex pick. I have Fox (SK) and Piglet (TL). SK has been on the rise and doing very well but Fox himself doesnt get that many points. And Piglet had a bad first week but looks like they have a easier week this week. And Fox does have to play Elements this week. So should i go with the safer pick but knowing he wont get that many points. Or take the risk with Piglet cuz if he does well im sure he will explode.

is anyone having any issues trying to swap this week? i wanted to swap my mid laners but they are locked this week and their is only 1 day left until eu locks. any help would be great

Great thread start!

I'm in a 6man, currently rooting for roccat with Nukeduck mid and vandeR support (don't have woolite). I believe roccat will have a comeback this week as they're up against weaker teams. Dyrus is on top being boring but steady and Shook in the jungle should perform well.

My tricky pick is ADC: CLG Altec or GV Cop? Altec ain't got his precious Imagine until w.4 and Cop could disappoint vs TiP and CLG, leaving me with the long face.

Cop or Altec?

My Main problem at the moment is whether i should start Balls or Cris.. Cris has been solid on Coast, even though the team has gotten off to a rough start, but Balls has always been a solid top laner too though. Im leaning towards Cris because I'm not sure how Liquid is going to do after being trounced last week. Also not sure if i should start Bunny Fufuu or Sheep, Sheep has an easier week and has scored more so far but Fufuu has been playing better overall, as well as Gravity as a whole. Leaning towards Sheep because i loved him when he was on XDG, and Coast has played the type of games where the players get a lot of points, they just end up throwing. Im new to the fantasy stuff, so if my thinking is off on any of this i would appreciate help :D

Wanted to see if anyone had any advice on my scenario. My two supports I have are Aphromoo and NRated and I'm debating on which to play. In my personal opinion I would normally play Aphromoo week to week but this week NRated has a much higher expected points. I'm torn because SK is going against H2K which statically this season should be an easy win, but then playing Elements which should be a big challenge. It is worth considering as well that NRated is supporting Forgiven the (self-proclaimed) best ADC there is. On the other hand CLG are play Gravity and Winterfox which aren't the best teams but aren't pushovers either. I already have another SK starting Svenskeren and my opponent this week has both Nyph and Froggen of Elements. With is in mind I understand playing NRated is a gamble based on if they can beat Elements.

TL:DR I would normally play Aphromoo as support but was curious if people think I could get more points this week by playing NRated.

Any advice is appreciated :)

My enemy Team this week is very strong. mid: Impact, jungle: Shook, mid: febiven, adc: rekkles, supp: yellowstar, flex: woolite, fnatic Last game I thought Team Liquid would be a good pick, I won VERY CLOSE and I'm scared if their bad performing holds on.., so i set on the unicorns in top,jungle and adc. do you think they will do it better? their performing was amazing if you look at their estimated points and on the performing the most people were expecting. MYM should be easyer than Roccat, but can they continue collect points against both? I also have FOx in mid, Lemonnation as supp and steelback as flex with the team sk gaming. do I have any chance? :D and can anyone estimate me a better team to set on than the unicorns? I can go all or nothing, thats no problem, but to win against a team like THIS could be very very very difficult. After the last game with xspecial im not sure to use lemonnation now, because he doesnt look to perform that well for a competition against these beasts.
