Journal XburbX - My Plan
- Thread starter xburbx
- Start date
So I thought of an interesting idea after finishing my fantasy football drafts tonight. I am going to treat fantasy football like trading. I will have a set of rules as to how I play my teams and I will not break them. It's like my weekend market. Rules are below
1. Play the "Must Start" players every week. This is anyone drafted in the first 3 rounds.
2. After rule 1. Play the player in the position that scored the most fantasy points against the team they are playing this week from last year. If I have 2 running backs and one scored 20 fantasy points last year and 1 scored 15, I play the 20 point guy. (It must be the same team this next week)
3. If a player in the position was injured or didnt play the team last year, I have to revert to all players in the positions "Opponent Rank". If one or all of the players didnt play the team last year, I have to choose the player that is playing against the weakest opponent in fantasy points against that position.
4. In order to pick someone up on the waiver wire, I need to identify a "loser" first. The loser must have had an under 10 point fantasy week the week prior and show a minimum of the next 2 upcoming weeks against top 10 teams "Opponent Rank" of that position. If that is the case, I can pick up a waiver wire on someone in that position that had a +10 point week prior and shows the next 2 weeks of opponents ranked worse than top 10 against the rank.
--------------
Notes - Cutting losers - Guys not performing and holding space on the bench
Letting winners run - picking up new waivers that are hot and also playing my top 3 drafts each week.
Edge - The edge is me and my rule set coupled with "player action". Like something as simple as a trend line break or s/r break, I am looking for weakness and strength. Weakness being my opponents ranks and how I pick up waivers. The strength are my starters and keeping them in each week.
I think that covers it and it is probably confusing to read to most. If you play fantasy football, you will enjoy the experiment.

Done for the day. There were a good bit of trades.
2 winners, 3 losers. One of the losers was almost BE
Overall day was a net loss but very very small. It was commissions in essence.
I am noticing that I am timing good entries but I might not be managing the trades very well. I have an idea but I won't review it until the end of this month. I will have to look back at ALL of my trades to see if it holds true or not. Either way, I am staying the course and reviewing the plan won't happen until EOM.

No trades today. I saw the setups at the start of the day looked slim so I thought it might happen. Tomorrow looks like the kind of day that might offer 1 or maybe 2 trades. I did notice that lots of stocks gapped today. More than usually. Most of the market looked to be a heavy up day. I don't really have an idea as to what it means for tomorrow but I thought I would note it in my journal. I can reflect on the result tomorrow.
