So 5 years ago I took up a new FF bug, taking over dumpster fire D teams and trying to rebuild them. I know, what a way to give away money.... This team was my 1st garbage on fire squad, and I was determined to become competitive, and I mean determined!!! Spent more time reviewing this league than my next 10 leagues in the last 5 years.
My 2014 takeover team is on the link and was highlighted with:
http://www66.myfantasyleague.com/2014/options?L=44246&O=07 Geno Smith, Matt Flynn
Demarco Murray, Latavius Murray, Jaquizz Rodgers, Anthony Dixon, and more plauersx that really never played much football
Andre Johnson (at 34 years old),
Robert Woods (who was a young kid that I really liked and have held),
Terrance Williams,
Vincent Brown, and more much less desirable WRs
Coby Fleener, Josh Hill
My 2018 Team that just Won the league:
http://www54.myfantasyleague.com/2018/home/16165#1 Watson, Tyrod Taylor
Kamara, Blount
Antonio Brown, Micheal Thomas, Mike Evans, Robert Woods, John Brown, Travis Benjamin
Cameron
Brate , Olsen, Goedert
It is with great satisfaction that I beat a team that was so darn dominant pretty much had trouble finding teams to join the league. His squad was and still is better than mine, with deeper talent and higher end RBs galore! But on any given Sunday, or so they say....
My point is, with the help on here, and the advice on the forums - I was able to turn around that crap pile. Yes this is a league that is mostly guys on here, and I'm not bragging, I'm sharing this for everyone that has doubts on taking over teams in existing leagues - you too can do it! Listen to advice, reads
@Smitty articles, and make your own decisions using the tools here; anything can happen!
Thanks to all the guys in that league, you all have been great competition over the last 5 seasons, and so much fun getting to know some of you a bit better. Good luck to everyone next year, as I caught lighting in a bottle this year. It could be any of you next year!
