5AF Fantasy F1 2023

Postby Shyster » Mon Feb 27, 2023 7:39 pm

Welcome to the seventh-annual 5AF Fantasy F1 league.

• The competition is open to all posters. Welcome aboard!

• You each have $70 million to spend on your team.

• You may select as many drivers as your budget allows. There is no advantage gained from not spending your entire budget.

• You are selecting by driver. If a driver switches teams, your points earned will follow that driver to the new team. If a driver is replaced or misses races due to injury, you will not earn points for that driver's replacement.

• Ties will be broken by looking at the points earned in each race by each fantasy participant and giving the highest point earner on a given week "first place," the next highest "second place" and so on. Ties are broken by whoever has more first-place finishes, and if necessary it goes on to second place, third place, etc. If there's still a tie, I will perform a coin flip.

• Your team must be unique. Please check what lineups have already been selected by other posters.

• The points earned by your selected drivers are the same as the points earned by the F1 drivers’ championship (1st place - 25 points; 2nd - 18; 3rd - 15; 4th -12; 5th - 10; 6th - 8; 7th - 6; 8th - 4; 9th - 2; 10th - 1). This includes the points earned during sprint-race qualifying
(1st place - 8 points; 2nd - 7; 3rd - 6; 4th - 5; 5th - 4; 6th - 3; 7th - 2; 8th - 1) and the point earned for fastest lap.

$70 million? Talk about inflation!

(I'll wait to hear if this is correct before picking a team)

Yeah. I got the salary numbers from the official fantasy league that formula1.com offers, and their salary numbers are higher than the source we've been using in past years. The formula1.com budget is actually $100 million, but they also have you pick two constructors with that money, so I cut the number down. I somewhat arbitrarily selected $70 million because that's not quite enough to just pick Verstappen + Hamilton + Leclerc.

I think that leaves me with a bit but not enough to book another points hauler. Let's really try to win some races, lads. Yahoo.

I've disengaged from F1 but figure that not competing in the FF1 league that I founded would be kind of lame. So it will kind of be like the allegory of the cave, reading results with little context.

I was feeling good about the way that race ended until I remembered that Cbear had also taken Alonso and therefore had the entire freaking podium.

Yeah, I think Red Bull will be even more dominant than last year so I opted to double up. My prediction is 1064 points for the season.
