Title: Depth
Post by: Rob on January 10, 2013, 09:33:18 AM

I think one interesting thing about this truncated season for us will be how our team depth will play less a role than it would in a normal season.  With more games per week the importance of depth will be diminished.  I think the teams with the best regular starters will have an advantage over those with great benches, where in a normal season the deep teams have a huge advantage.  It will be interesting to see how this plays out.  I will probably amend my pre-season predictions from August to account for this dynamic.

i am sure i will be fine being a depth team and all.  My one piss off is the one guy that i spent good money on, ruutu going out and breaking hip like an old granny! out for the season.

I built a lot if depth and it may hurt me as In a full season I would opt for 3 contributing guys over 1 superstar, but in a shirt season it really is a crap shoot

I think it can go either way really.  If you have depth over a couple superstars that gives you better fallback options in case one of your players is going through a slump, and any prolonged slump in this shortened season will just ruin you especially if it is the superstar tanking.

I think injuries are going to be a huge factor this year.  With such a compressed schedule and guys being out of shape.  missing 3 weeks of the season could mean a quarter of the games.
