I know that everyone hates bad beat stories, but, man, I just gave away my share of first place this week. I had my team set for days as usual. A few minutes before lineups locked, my 5 year old was hysterical about something and my wife couldn't calm him down. The only thing that worked was my offering him to help me finalize my fantasy team (I was planning on checking it anyway just to confirm that players were starting etc.) He always loves looking at my team, but I never change it, even when he complains that I don't have enough (or any) NYCFC players. As usual, he complained about the lack of NYCFC players (this time over his tears) and told me to put in Villa or Jack. For some reason, given the moment and the circumstances, I complied and told him that I would add Villa (I rationalized that it wasn't the worst idea, even though I had no interest in playing him this week). The easiest quick fix with time running out was Villa for Lodeiro because their salaries matched, so I made the move. And I was certain, that it was going to somehow end up being the difference. Yup, I lost by 4 (I believe) and the difference between Villa and Lodeiro was 5 (I believe). I guess I took one for the fam here. Oh well. Congrats to the champ.
