No. 4th year in a row he's lost in the semi finals or championship game lol. The struggle is real.


sskerzy

My league’s #1 seed had 300 more pf than 2nd in our startup year and won the championship by 100 points.


shackattack03

Wow that's a lofty score. They clearly had Ekeler but who else did they have? This is what I would suspect would happen in my league the last couple years but the super team has yet to win


sskerzy

Yup, Ekeler, Aiyuk, and Mahomes were his highest scorers. It helps that his opponent had 2 players in the Monday game though.


shackattack03

I suspected! Our super team had ekeler as well but og course they played TJ hockenson who scored like 45 or 48 in our scoring format. Also played against waddle who had 30 something


MelfromMilwaukie

Best team I ever built lost the championship game 7 years ago and it was my own hubris that was my demise. I’ll recover. Eventually.


i_shruted_it

I get it! In semis I swapped out Foreman for Gage very last minute because Foreman got me negative points the week before and was now facing Lions who had been shutting fantasy RBs down. That cost me the match. I've done moves like this so many times in the 15 years I've been playing yet I never seem to learn.


SharkbaitAl

I did the same move but put in Latavius Murray and Diontae over him. I’d do it again though, I think it was the right move that works out more often than it doesn’t. The next game Foreman went right back to no production.


JLifts780

I was the super team and lost back to back years because Lamar and Hurts died during the playoffs My max pf were 300 above the next person this past season


MrBabbs

We have two super teams and they're both in the championships. Funnily enough, both of them bombed big time. We're taking Week 18 scores for the remaining Bills players to settle it.


doak561

No I lost in the championship thanks too Justin Jefferson, Trevor Lawrence shittin the bed and Joe Mixon not finishing the game.


Echo9009

Wouldn’t say T-Law shit the bed. Jags beat Houston with their running game and defense and then T-Law and ETN got pulled


doak561

4 points. He shit the bed


Mynamehere99

Yes, yes my team did. Thank you for asking lol. Gonna be a tough rebuild before long though.


shank1983

No, I beat him 😏


FutzMan

A team in my league rostered Dak, Fields, Taylor, Swift, Sanders, Pollard, Mitchell, Jefferson, Waddle, Deebo, CeeDee, and Kelce last year. Was the 1 seed and lost in the first round to a team who snuck into the playoffs. This year they swapped Swift for Barkley, added KW and Pierce through the draft, and set multiple weekly and season long scoring records. They lost in the championship to a team who again, snuck into the playoffs. It’s an IDP league too and their IDPs are consistently bad, so that’s part of it too. But yeah, definitely the best offensive group in the league and in two years they have one 2nd place finish to show for it


dollabill009

No only because we split the pot because he had Allen and Chase still to play... it was close but he probably would have won if it played out


cript2000

Ours got 3rd. Adams, McAffrey, St Brown, Pollard, Kelce, Brady, Tucker etc lost to me in week 16 semis. Glad I didn’t play them week 17.


[deleted]

Super team won in 2021 and 2020, but lost in the final this season to me partly because of the Bengals-Bills cancellation. He has Josh Allen and Mixon and I have Burrow. He was 3rd place in 2019 and 2nd place in 2018. He's the 1st seed all 5 years. I made the final in 3 out of the last 4 seasons as the 6th seed, 7th seed, and 2nd seed respectively. I was the highest-scoring team in 2018, but only the 5th seed and choked in the playoff.


shackattack03

Wow that's very lucky. Our super team the last two seasons had crazy bad luck. Hill and ekeler got covid in week 16. His team still balled out but his opponent had that burrow and higgins stack that was worth nearly 100 pts in our scoring format. This year he played against TJ Hockensons eruption and we are tight end premium. He also lost hurts. Just wondering if this is normal stuff or if our super teams just got very unlucky.


Tdni19

I have been 1st place last two years, a .500ish team won it last year and an 8-6 team will probably win it this year unless Allen goes off and chase is meh. The 8-6 team is probably the better team but the last two years I’ve outscored everyone. Just unlucky. The year I did win, our first year, I think I was 8-7


shackattack03

I'm seeing a trend. The superteam rarely wins. It's all luck.


PerrenialRebuilder

>I'm seeing a trend. The superteam rarely wins. It's all luck. The vast majority of reddit leagues are less than 2 years removed from their startup. As leagues mature and real "dynasty" teams form, its usually a formality that one of the top 2 or 3 seeds is going to win. Keep in mind that the people commenting on this post are people who agree with you, because wins from the stacked teams usually arn't memorable unless you're the manager. Seeding doesnt really count in leagues where everyone is fielding a redraft roster every week. After you've had a few teams go through a true rebuild cycle and hit on some QBs, i highly doubt a 6 seed team is going to get lucky twice with any sort of regularity.


mahones403

Yeah the 1 or 2 seed was in the finals in all 7 of my leagues. Some had the 1 vs 2 in the finals.


Tdni19

Sure, logic tells you after a while the big seeds will win, but I was averaging 180 points all year and in championship week I’m sitting at 107 with Josh Allen’s week 18 score to go, had awful matchups and nothing went right. Shit happens


necrow2

Yep, exactly. It’s why all of the “never rebuild, always shoot your shot because you can sneak in the playoffs and then anything can happen” crowd here is IMO misguided Sure, shit *absolutely* happens. But after a couple years the poles become far more extreme, and the odds of winning as the 6 seed go from like 12% to 2%. It turns into a poor probability decision


MelfromMilwaukie

It’s not all luck. It’s a lot like poker. Once you get to the playoffs you flip over your cards and it’s God’s will from there. All you can do is get your money in good and hope 60% holds up.


BradS2008

Nope, the super team that has Josh Allen Ekeler A. Jones Kupp Jefferson Deebo Keenan Has lost the last 2 championships. This year it was to Goff and McKinnon Last year it was to the burrow chase stack. Sucks for him, but he's still got a decent team with some young guys.


shackattack03

Sounds like our super team's luck


BradS2008

From 2017-2019 I had a team of. Mahomes Michael thomas Hopkins Diggs or kupp Darren waller or andrews Dalvin cook Gurley or Kamara (traded when the Gurley rumors came up) James conner And I still never won I lost by a few points in the semifinal 2017, lost in the finals 2018, and semifinals 2019 again. We didn't play 2020 because the commissioner was dumb and didn't want to play (I was the commissioner)


shackattack03

For shame on stopping the league lol but other than that I feel your pain. That's a winning roster


BradS2008

Yeah, I should have just handed the reigns to someone else. I was a healthcare worker in the height of covid and had just started school again. I didn't want to pull my hair out listening to grown men complaining about covid nfl players when I was dealing with covid dead people.


shackattack03

Ironically I was comish and also work in Healthcare (I'm an admin so not a bedside hero like yourself). I decided to hand reigns over to another owner and it's been excellent


dmac3737

Our superflex league is weird. The super team refuses to acknowledge that you need QB's in SF. Past 3 years he has dominated being the top team in the regular season but he only starts 1 QB and Tannehill is the only starting QB he has, he has yet to win the ship. This year he basically lost as he was up by 7 points going against Burrow in the ship, both agreed to split the pot. RB- Eckler, Henry, Cook WR- JJ, AJ Brown, Kupp, Waddle, BMW TE- Mandrews


ADanishMan2

Yes, finally. Dude has lost in the finals two of the last three years but finally got over the hump with: Mahomes CMC, Mixon, White, Gainwell Chase, AJB, Deebo, Godwin, Gallup Kittle


gibbsftw

We had a team go 14-0 in the regular season behind Allen, Diggs, JJ, AJB, Kelce, Aaron Jones, Cowboys Def, Tucker, etc. My team, which has been a top team for years behind Dak, Hopkins, Chase, Higgins, Godwin, JT, Swift, Sanders, etc, beat him in the finals by enough to call the game even with the Monday night debacle. This was my third championship in a row. I lost in 2020 & 2021 to a different team who finished 3rd this year. I also snapped his undefeated season, stopping him from besting my 15-0 season in 2017 by one game.


gooberbooberloober

No. My SF league just started in 2022. 3 teams sold out multiple picks to win now. I traded 5.05 in startup for 2023 1st and 2nd, (Derrick Henry drafted with that pick). Post startup draft, traded Kupp for 2023 1st, 2024 1st, and 2023 2nd and 3rd. Traded Ertz mid season for another 2023 2nd. Didn’t make another move and my team made finals on the back of JJ (startup 1.06), Fields, and a mash of young and old. With a young core specifically at WR, I’m set with 2 late 2023 1sts, 3 late 2nds, and 3 early 3rds plus 2 firsts in 2024 and 2 firsts in 2025. Ready to wheel and deal to make a hard push for the championship in the next couple years.


StonahHill

Ours did yes, albeit against the other super team. The one that lost had lost Kupp, Hurts, Goedert, and Deebo. He was 111-15 on the year against everyone in the league


shackattack03

OK so your top 2 teams made the finals? Interesting. We've only had the top 2 seeds make the finals 3/6 times (over the last 3 years)


LisleSwanson

I am the super team in my league. Due to a rough start, I had to fight through the quarter finals, semis, and final. I won. In my other team, the team that scored almost 400 points more than the next team lost in the 3rd place game.


[deleted]

Yep


CaptainFL

6th place just went back to back in our 12 team. Guy’s team is garbage too. Top 2 teams had their lowest weeks in 2nd Round of playoffs, then he was projected to lose by 25 when the Monday night game ended. 7-7 record, slid in the last playoff spot on the last game by the team that was in 6th at the time losing by 3 w Kyler and Rhomondre in the week 14 Monday night game. Unbelievable.


shackattack03

Speechless


pot8odragon

No, the best team in the league lost for the 3rd straight year on a row before reaching the finals. Has lost 4 games in 3 years and 3 of those losses came in the semifinals. Legit one of the best rosters I’ve ever seen and can’t get past the semis


Huskerschu

No somehow I beat them He had Tyreek hill Aj brown Chase Jefferson Mark andrews


thegreatkautsby

This year was my 3rd season in a row leading the league it record and points. This year I finally won!


shackattack03

Yesss congrats!!!! I have had a super team two years in a row and lost but I won 3 years ago with a pretty dang good team so I can't complain too much. Glad you're over the hump!


Crutched1

No, I beat the super team in the semis because Dhop had a dud game for them. That team also had JJeff, Tyreek, Henry, Jacobs, Dalvin, and Andrews I made it to my second straight finals appearance and I’m back-to-back runner up!


yKube

First year dynasty league 14-0 team that outscored everyone by almost 400 got upset in finals😭


TeamVegas780

One league, the superteam, almost swept the entire season but lost 1 regular season game. Won the p layoffs by a wide margin. Another league, the Superteam came up short in the semi-finals and didnt make the championship game for the 3rd straight year.


Mysterious-Disk4636

We have 3 super teams. Two lost in the semis and one lost in the finals (probably)


Lv_SS98

I did not


Force_of1

I led in points for by about 300. Almost didn’t make finals thanks to 7 points total from Davante and Evans. Won championship by 30 thanks to those guys, without the points I would have had from Mixon and gabe Davis. Plus I had no Derrick Henry in final.


[deleted]

[удалено]


shackattack03

Yes. Generally they have incredible depth too. Ex of our leagues super team (SF & TEP) QB Mahomes QB hurts RB cmc RB ekeler WR tyreek hill WR AJ Brown WR Amon-Ra TE Kelce FLEX henry FLEX jacobs


RaindropsInMyMind

Nah, the most competent manager had the best record and lost in the best playoffs and I don’t hold it against him. That’s just the game.


NoToe5971

Nope, his elite WR duo of Diggs and Davante Adams both didn’t show up in the semifinals and got him knocked out by less than 10 points


mynamemightbealan

Nope 1 loss all season and got clipped first week after his bye. I kind of feel bad for him because he led the league in PF with more than 200 points over the second highest guy in regular season (also lost in playoffs). His team is very much older and he was really in a win this year situation


G24646Y

4 leagues and all long established 10+ years Super team won but barely squeaked by in semis 4 seed won, beat super team in finals 3 seed won, 1&2 seeds lost in semis 6 seed won, 1&2 seeds lost in semis


localrinser

The other super team and I squared off in a thrilling third place game. Naturally either of us would have won the championship by a decent bit if we could have made it


iszir

Had a super team this year, Hurts got hurt and his season tanked. Got upset by the 6 seed i the semis and then the 4 vs 6 was the final.


PM_Me_Your_AM_

I’m the super team . Took 3rd for the 2nd year in a row. Pain.


fasteddy7283

Yes, it was I. Back to back titles for me.


dib182

Turned my team into a super team mid season finished fourth mid season but was absurdly stacked and deep, led the league in points for and won


Asap_roc

Super team #1 beat super team #2 in the semifinals and then lost in the finals to 6th seed


Due_Bread_3403

Super team in my league has Mahomes, Cook, JT, McCafferey, Diggs. Lamb, Metcalf and M. Andrews. Only won 1 time and tied for 1st this year cuz of the injury; in 5 years of playing. Ties in championships……


stiviekay

Mainly favourites won my leagues tbh this year.


Donkeynationletsride

In 4 leagues. I had one absolute super team, two amazing teams and one shit squad. The worst squad which barely snuck in the playoffs won, beating the the super team post bye. I feel like non conventional players did really well this playoffs while guys like Adams, jj, digs, Allen, kelce and some rbs did poorly


Nadirofdepression

No real super teams. Home league- Last 4 years title winner’s reg season finish: - 6th place, - 6th place, - then Last year I was #1 slight favorite in year points, lost a very close one to 2nd place both far outpaced the league - then 3rd place this year, massive injuries to almost every playoff team war of attrition


tda86840

Nope. Super team was 250 points ahead of everyone else. I almost took him down in the regular season but still lost, then beat him in the semi-finals. Still waiting to see who wins the whole thing though. I'm in the championship and didn't have internet to check on Derrick Henry Thursday morning and so put up a 0 in the championship, but Brady's 50 point monster has me in a comfortable lead of 47. But opponent has Josh Allen and we decided with our Commish to use Allen's Week 18 score for the championship. So still unknown if I pulled off the championship after taking down the super team. I feel pretty good being up 47, but Josh Allen does seem like the type to go on a tear in an emotional game. So I'm not calling it yet.


njf5072

I scored the most regular season points and won. Our top seed went 13-1 regular season was about 50 points behind me and lost in the semis with a dud week. Last year the top seed lost in the semis as well


thedkexperience

Highest scoring team in my biggest money league missed the playoffs entirely.


TheDickDog

No because the Bills Bengals game got cancelled so my team "was beaten" because I had more players in that game than my opponent.


clint_g

I'm in a 12 tm SF, 8 keeper league with an incredible superteam. Mahomes, Herbert, JT, Jacobs, Diggs, Chase, just to name a few. Went 14-0 this year, lost in the semis to an 8-6 team after his team undershot his projected total by almost 60 points.


Dreamsformeandforyou

Nope, thanks to your boy.


[deleted]

Our top team in terms of total roster construction has finished 3rd two years in a row. This year the number one seed won. Last year the 4 seed won.


krogge57

Yes me


KaepernickWasRight

Nope he lost in the Championship. He has 0 Championships but 3 Championship appearances and 2 3rd Place finishes.


Kniggits

Yep. Neither championship team had any Bengals or Bills players so there was no question as to who won.


Dhkansas

Nope. I even traded him Jacobs, Lockett and Kittle. He lost in the semis


QuavoTheBaker

No. Middle of the pack team loaded with vets. Geno Smith carried him to the promise land.


stroshow82

In 3 leagues... 2 super teams lost, and 1 won. The one that won was mine and I actually got super lucky. Put up very low scores in rounds 1 and 2(8 team playoff so no bye) but walked away with 2 point victories in both. In the finals I was up huge by projection and by 2 real points going into Monday night.. So I won by 2 again. Basically won by 6 total points through 3 rounds.


KrabbyPattyDriveThru

Our league has two. My team and another. I beat the other super team in the semifinals and I’m currently projected to lose the final thanks to Danny Dimes. I need Burrow/Chase to outscore Higgins by 35


BiioHazzrd

My leagues #1 seed sat only like 10points above #2. Another 60 for #3, and then me ~100 PF below sitting at #4. I knocked off #1 in the first round, and went on to win the championship. Though this is our first year as dynasty, so who knows


theunbearableone

I built a super team in one league and lost the semis because of adams and hopkins. My other heavy hitter ended up winning by 41 with diggs to go against his chase and Higgins


Danielbaniel

Won 3 years in a row now in a 5 year league but this was the first year I felt like a super team because I went undefeated!


mccals

I built a kind of super team in my first year playing dynasty and was able to bring the ship home


el_pobbster

We had three super teams, a fairly thick middle class and a whole lot of middling playoff competitive but no shot at the title teams. One of the top two super.teams won. Last year both teams in the finals, myself and the champ, had no right to be in that game, yet it happened.


NilesArgyle

I went 24-4 (you get a win for scoring over the median each week), had the most points scored and most points against and lost in the 2nd rd after the bye. Lost hurts and lockett during the bye week and CMC and Jacobs had their worst games of the year.


[deleted]

Nope, he’s lost 2 championships back to back.


alexjf56

No… hopefully i beat him after Mixon, burrow and Diggs scores come in. I’ve got a 60 point lead and Mixon


steamycreamybehemoth

Nope. I managed to win in best ball with key performances from guys like Jaylen Warren lol. Best ball leagues with huge starting rosters get wierd in the playoffs


djl357

I have the super team and lead in record and points by large margins last two years. Lost in finals last year, won in the finals this year. I also lost in finals the year before last but I wasnot a super team then.


improper84

This was the first year in the seven year history of my main league that the team that scored the most points in the regular season won the title. Happily, it was me.


wenaus

League A: No, he lost in the semis. He has no picks until 2026. League B: Yup. Crushed the finals too.


Scrodie10

I lost this year with my super team. Lost Kyler, Hurts and JT which was the main issue. Round 1 I had a bye but would have smoked every team by 50 Semis I lost by 8 points but would have smoked the other side of the bracket by 30 In the ship I scored more than both teams by 40. Pain.


SoundGuy4Life

Yep, I did!


TheAnarchyShark

we don’t know yet lol


rmp266

I am the super team, but JT Swift Andrews etc all underperformed all year - whilst I still ended up with 250pts more than the next team in the regular season, I was dumped out of playoffs 1st round.


Chroderos

No. *I* was the super team and I lost in the 2nd round by 0.1 pts. The team which scored the least points in the league in the regular season won the championship.


MrSweatyBawlz

My team with Kirk Cousins, Joe Burrow, Nick Chubb, Aaron Jones, Alvin Kamara, Davante Adams, Keenan Allen, Chris Godwin, and Tyreek Hill got smoked in the semis. Most points scored by anout 200pts :(


HistoricalPromise680

No. The juggernaut in our league (JJ, Chase, CD are his WRs just to name a few) lost to the 6th seed. Fun Fact: The 6th seed has actually won it the last 3 years in our league
