Then what are you arguing? No one is choosing the perfect team each week and still losing every week. It all balances out in the end. You might have 4-5 weeks where you get lucky and choose the right guys and put up 110+ and still lose. But you'll have other weeks where you put up 85 and win. The notion that someone will always pick their top scorers and lose week in week out is bogus. As I said, it all balances out.

I'm arguing that it doesn't all balance out all the time. That is an incredibly arrogant attitude to think you know what happens in every single fantasy league across the country. I've already provided my own experience just from this year. Our high scorer by quite a bit is 2-6 and will miss the playoffs. Guess things didn't balance out for him huh.

And my main argument all along is that top 6/bottom 6 scoring for W/L makes more sense. In your scenario, the 110 team is probably getting wins those weeks and when he scored 85 he's probably getting losses in top 6/bottom 6. Now explain to me how that makes less sense than your argument that if he gets losses in the 110 weeks, that it'll all just balance out and he'll get wins in the 85 weeks? Does that sometimes happen? Sure. But what also happens is he could very well be winless in all those weeks.
