While I agree luck does play a part. I wouldn't say it's 100% luck. Or the 90% NJ says.
Injuries and scheduling are really the only true lucky portions of FF in my opinion.
There is strategy in constructing and managing a team. I'd say it's at worse 50% luck.

Kriz I hear what you are saying. There is a skill to building a good balanced team, as well as managing it. But that still doesnt matter when it comes to week to week matchups. The best team in the league almost never wins, and its all about matchups. If you arent scoring the most points in the league every week, then it comes down to luck.
Originally posted by blizzuntz:I'm in 8 leagues . And every league has 1-2 people who always suck , and 1-2 who are always in it .
I don't know how the math works on that , but I would guess 33%-66% is luck , and 33%-66% is skill.

While I know it happens it's very rare where a strong team is constantly playing the highest scoring team every week. In general it usually kind of balances itself out IMO.
But yes scheduling/matchups is luck. This week I scored enough to beat 7 teams other than you yet you still said I was lucky. Beating 8 out of 11 owners this week, I would have had to be unlucky to lose

I said you were lucky because you beat me by 5.5 points and Justin Herbert had 4 total points. That's why.

If I'm not mistaken the reason FF is legal is that it was argued in court and ruled that FF is more skill than luck.

I see your 4 points by Herbert and I raise you .68 points by Geno
