This is unequivocally the most frustrating form of fantasy ever, needs it's own vent thread.

Played it safe moving the C from Embiid to Giannis, then Embiid plays all the games, and better, and Giannis misses! Let's go glass half full... he's still beating Doncic at this point who was the other one I considered... Real worry is if it's a genuine injury and not just a terrible excuse for a rest then he'll almost certainly miss the rest of the week also.

The real pain is paying so much extra for him over Barnes to be half the score.

Positive... at least Lively had a good game for that lovely cash gen!

I really wish the NBA had set the games missed thing for awards to at least 75, if not 80. The players sitting games out thing is just a joke for the sport.

Embiid questionable, cause me to change my plans and I didn’t get him in, after I had him with the Captaincy, but instead I got Greek in instead and he’s the one who misses a game and I put the C on Doncic who decides to spud it up this week, also Maxey decides to spud it up as well after after getting him in this week, the last 2 weeks has been a complete disaster, also should of got Barnes back in after having him in before his 2 game week, the cards aren’t just falling my way this season

349 15/34 Giannis - Doncic, Giannis, Mitchell, and Davis all hurting.

Seems the only viable captain options this week have been SGA or Embiid, both of which I don't have in my team.
Tatum I imagine would be very common also, he was the main one I considered against Giannis as like to lock in that first game being certain.

Not something I usually do ...

But using the SCS Heat Seekers league and looking at the various C options chosen for this round ....

- why ... well I set this league up for these type of scenarios to explore the trends ...

So what do we have:

14 - Doncic ... 24 pts with 2 games to go
4 - Giannis ... 30 pts with 2 games to go .. injury cloud
1 - AD ... 55 pts with 2 games to go
1 - SGA ... 45 pts with 3 games to go

In some other leagues:

Embiid ... 75 pts with 2 games to go
Tatum ... 66 pts with 2 games to go
Jokic ... 40 pts with 2 games to go

Week 5

Might see how many times I can use the "S" function and see if I can trade Doncic to Jokic

Move Mitchell to PG
Move Miller (SF bench) to SG and then upgrade
Move Williams (PF bench) to SF bench
Move Mobley to PF (bench Holmgren)

Bring Jokic in

Should leave :-

Mitchell , Maxey
Upgrade Miller , Upgrade Sasser / Thompson (2)
Jokic
Tatum , J Johnson
Mobley , Wembanyama / Holmgren (2)

Look at trying to bring in 2 of PG , Edwards , Russell , Huerter (?) Depending on available 💰 (could get a PG by moving Maxey)

See what happens Monday

Is Podziemski the major beneficiary with Curry out ?

Curious to see what he scores today

EDIT : 20 today after a 25 on Wednesday
