Punting SP in 5x5 H2H as a strategy
Posted: December 10th, 2023, 3:10 pm
Our 5x5 H2H AL only keeper league uses W+QS and S+1/2H will put to a vote on whether to drop the IP requirement. We also play standard 5x5 roto in parallel but H2H is the big $$ pot. I see Doug Dennis has won AL Tout back to back using this strategy in roto but wonder if you've been in H2H leagues where someone did this and it's effectiveness or your opinion on doing this. I've been fortunate in using 4-5 SPs and good RPs to place 1st and 2nd in our roto but can't get out of the first round of the playoffs the past 3 years. If our league goes with no IP limit I'm toying with the idea of bullying hitting and going with 9 RPs and punting W+QS and Ks. Drawback in H2H is having one or two RPs blowup in a week which even the elite closers have done in a week.
