Yeah, although the own % being high for 1 angler in each group doesn't mean that all the people who picked tharp also picked the other 4 highest. I'd like to see the percentage of people who picked the highest owned angler in each bucket. I bet that is a whole lot lower (although still probably the highest percentage among unique teams). 1 Quote

True. The top five point receivers are who they are no matter who picks them. Highly unlikely the top five point scorers will be the most owned anglers in each bucket though.. 1 Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted February 15, 2017 Super User Posted February 15, 2017 If you look at the way that points are awarded in Fantasy Fishing rules, you are awarded the same number of points no matter how many other people have picked a particular angler. HOWEVER, (my personal take), If everyone is picking a certain guy, I stay clear of them for the most part. Take Tharp, for instance. Obviously the man for the job on Okeechobee. Knows the lake as well as anyone does and has multiple wins on it. He has a knack for understanding the fish at Okeechobee, even under tough conditions. Loves to flip and pitch. Has a fantastic track record on Florida bodies of water. I easily foresee him getting a top ten. But, he's at like 50+ % ownership, which means that there are a crapload of people who have picked him. What this means for me, who picked a dark horse in bucket A that I feel will do fairly well, is that if Tharp were to stumble and not make the top 50 cut or something - there are thousands of people in Bucket A that will drop heavily and that I can all pass up. For an individual tournament, it doesn't seem like a big deal, but if you're consistently playing by that method throughout the year, crap will go down and tournament favorites will zero. That's when I personally have made big strides in standings. Yes, I probably will end up regretting that I didn't go with Tharp, but at the same time, you have to set yourself apart from the crowd in Fantasy Fishing. That's what makes it so fun for me, I love finding the dark horses that do well and slip under the radar. 5 Quote
Gotfishyfingers? Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 OK sooo, who already has Tharp on there list to? lmao Quote
MrTightLInes Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Not I. I agree, he seems like an easy "instant" pick, but there's just TOO much good stuff going on in A Bracket to ignore. Hope I don't regret not picking him, but I'm extremely confident in at least 4 of the others in there... maybe more. Quote
Diggs Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Outside of the obvious picks, anyone else struggling with value in bucket C? Quote
Super User Cgolf Posted February 16, 2017 Super User Posted February 16, 2017 Is it to late to join the BR group, my first week sucked lol which means I need to pay closer attention to do better. Quote

I'm struggling with all of my picks, I just don't know about any of them. And I may have gone insane, but I'm not picking Randall Tharp. If he was in any other bucket I would though. Quote

I selected 5 southern boys for Okeechobee . 1 Quote

I wanted to pick him last we, but didn't want him to bomb. If I pick him he'll bomb in I don't pick him he'll probably win the whole thing! Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted February 17, 2017 Super User Posted February 17, 2017 I did it. I found anglers in every single bucket that are owned under 15% that have great track records in Florida and I'm confident will do well. Took me a while of doing research to find the guys but I'm excited about this one. 2 Quote
corn-on-the-rob Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I cannot find it for the life of me, what is the group name? and password if there is one. Quote

IndianaFinesse Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I'm going to we extremely well in this one, or I could just as easily bomb it. Picking a lot of risky guys, the highest picked guy on my team only has about 12%. Quote
