If you are in a tight league where every little stat matters, making the smart adds/drops could determine whether you are the league champion or just another one of the nine, 11 or 13 disappointed losers. At this point of the season it’s not about what your players have done for you all season long, it’s all about what your player will do for you in the next four weeks that will determine your fantasy fate.
We’re turning the final corner of the fantasy season and depending on your league settings you could be heading down a few different paths. Let’s look at those who are gunning for a money spot in Roto leagues, or those entering the playoffs in H2H leagues. If you are in a tight league where every little stat matters, making the smart adds/drops could determine whether you are the league champion or just another one of the 10 or 12 disappointed losers. At this point of the season it’s not about what your players have done for you all season long, it’s all about what your player will do for you in the next four weeks that will determine your fantasy fate.
In order to be successful in fantasy hockey one key strategy that will help tremendously is being able to identify past historical trends and utilize them to your advantage. Much like the column a month ago, this week we’ll showcase a few of the players out West that have had either positive or negative career trend during the month of March. Obviously these players aren’t going to be bargain bin material, so hopefully you can hone your sharp bartering skills to net you a few of these players for the stretch run of the fantasy season.
Following the crazy trade frenzy of the last couple of days, I’ll go through the Western Conference teams and analyse some of the fallout that has occurred because of the trades. Obviously, some of the opinions are going to differ from Angus’ or Dobber’s, but that’s the reason why you come visit this site in the first place isn’t it?
Following along the lines of my Eastern counterpart, this week we’ll look ahead to the final 30 games (or so) and see what might be in store for the balance of the season. I'll pick one player from each Western Conference team that should be in for a sweet finish and one whose production over the last stanza may leave a sour taste in their owner’s mouths. I'll try my very best to avoid being Captain Obvious.
In order to be successful in fantasy hockey one key strategy that will help tremendously is being able to identify past historical trends and utilize them to your advantage. This week’s column will showcase 23 players out West that have had either positive or negative career trends during the month of February.
The fourth month of the 2010-11 fantasy season is just about over, so we’ll return to the old format and take a look at all of the Western Conference teams and see what could be in store for them moving forward.
Based on last week’s article, if ice-time and SOG are any indicators of fantasy success, this week’s column will be a good complement in identifying a few trends moving forward. We’ll take a look seven lucky advancers as well as seven unlucky decliners to help you get through that mid-season lull.
Last week, Brett Lemon wrote an article regarding Bloom’s simple hierarchical system of categorizing cognitive learning and how it related to the process we all need to go through in order to experience success in fantasy hockey. By surfing TSN.ca, the Dobber website, Yahoo! player blurbs or Rotoworld, you’re being exposed to the “remembering” level. By consistently following DobberHockey and reading the mid-season guide you’re introduced to the “understanding” level. (Still love the “Ma’s Laws” by the way)
Pending release of the MidSeason Guide later this week, I thought it would be a great idea to take a look back at the Pre-Season guide and see where I stand in comparison to four months ago. It’s always good to take a look back at past mistakes to help us prepare for the future. Plus it will give an insight to those who haven’t seen the content of the DobberHockey guides first hand.
