I feel you. Not that my team was going anywhere, but losing Burrow was a real blow. I've lost Kittle and Connors in other leagues, and now CD Lamb for however long her is out. Injury bug be bitin!

It seems like every year I name my team using a pun based on a specific player, that player gets injured and lost for the season. Sorry - my fault for Hello Kittle! (I was working on a morphed hello kitty/kittle image for it.)

Also - Any chance we could move to 6 bench rather than 7 bench next year? With a 12 team league, the waiver wire is a bit thin for players who lose someone big. As-is, we are able to stash quite a bit on our benches. I'm ok with 7 but 6 might make things a little easier for those who get crushed with injuries to recover.

I'm not against it but we will absolutely put it up to league vote post season.

Hard to believe but here we are starting the second half of the FF regular season. Fantasy Fields playing the role of last seasons Of Goblins and Gibbs Gub with an untouched 7-0 and the only out right division leader. The other divisions are separated by only a single game with Accursed Set Bonus fending off all 3 teams in their division with that single game. The wild card spots are still open to everyone. As we get into heavier bye weeks the benches will start to play bigger roles. Good luck to everyone in the second half.

On the order of tokens, I think it's time to order. We have $1250 in tokens coming, (5) PYPs and we certainly want the extra goodies by ordering before 10/31. There is no treasure enhancer this year, but we can still dip into last year's URs. I think we should at least have 1-2 pair of this years greaves of diffusion. We could do 3 Beads of Greed and 1 Greaves of Diffusion and then one of the themed URs like the Moonstone Orb, Ring of the Vampire, or Shirt of the Lycan. Would provide a similar variety to what we did last year. What are your thoughts on PYPs?

Weekly High Scores Through Week 7

Week 1: A Bardic Disappointment did not disappoint in week 1 by setting the high score mark at 140.12

Week 2: Accursed Set Bonus with a 131.42 becomes the second team in the weekly winnings.

Week 3: Hello Kittle keeping the variety alive with another new team and a score of 134.82

Week 4: Whoa....with only 1 player on the roster scoring less than 20 points Accursed Set Bonus likely sets the season high score and takes weekly win number 2 with a goocher and a 199.26 high score.

Week 5: Thought I was going to get my first weekly win, but Scael Bait gets second with a 147.12 and Hello Kittle becomes the second two win team thanks to a 155.82

Week 6: Another super close week with Scrael Bait getting beat out by first time winner Dresden's Wizards. This was the narrowest margin thus far at 130.66 for the Wizards vs. 128.4 from the Scraels.

Week 7: Fantasy Fields finally appears as a weekly winner while securing their 7th win of the season and a healthy 164.64 total.

I like the idea of all 2026, as they are needed for transmute recipes. That said, I’m not winning anything, so….

I am totally open to whatever the group chooses for tokens.

I like the idea of all 2026 but I'm ultimately indifferent.

I like the idea of a couple Beads because I feel they are easy to trade/loan out.
But since any 2026 can be used for the Earring - I’m ok with all 2026 too.

So early returns say a variety from 2026. We still have 7 days to decide so if you want to have an opinion speak up.

No opinion. I have most of the items I needed, so this would be fun items to trade. Beads are fine, moonstone charms, rings of the vampire...all good.

I’m happy with whatever the group prefers.

Here is a working list to start. The votes for 2026 only keep coming in.

- Greaves of Diffusion
- Hat of Critical Thinking
- Ioun Stone Moonstone Orb
- Ring of the Vampire
- St. Gubb's Gorget

Maybe 2 of the Greaves since they are part of the multi-year
