Long-time lurkers in the MLSFB Discord are all too familiar with the phenomenon known as “Week 10,” a fantasy round where everything goes completely wrong. Named after a particularly nasty round a few years back, where the highest scores from regular and top players were in the 40s. “Week 10” is a round where clear favorites blank, and underdogs flex. Results go upside down. And even when they don’t, it’s all the players you didn’t pick that hit big, and the ones you did pick, the absolutely obvious ones that everyone agreed on, are sitting there on your field view pitch, mocking you with their measly two points. It’s become an annual tradition now, trying to navigate the dreaded “Week 10s,” which can happen any week, and often do, where average scores are so low that everyone feels battered and bruised and swears off the game forever …
… until the game unlocks on Monday, that is.
Last round wasn’t a full-blown “Week 10,” but then again, this season in general has been full of what could qualify as “Week 10s,” having extra wild and especially unpredictable results. But predict them we must! So dust yourselves off and get back to the daily tinkering and overthinking.
And be prepared for a whole lot of “here we go again,” and accusations of point chasing, and being told you’ve got too many away players. Such is life as an FMLS sicko.
Note:(?) means the player might not start due to injury, lack of fitness, availability status or loss of starting spot. (OOP) means the player is expected to play out of position.
