Over the past four years we have had four different champions, and with only one of those still in the running for the league title there is a very real chance we could see our fifth different winner. With this in mind as we are two weeks from deciding the field of four, the LFP FFB staff has dipped into the annals of our leagues brief history to develop a short set of guidelines for how to win a championship!
1. Farthest to fall...
Only once has the top seed in the league ever won the championship, Kyle in 2007. In his case the top seed was awarded to the team only on a tie-breaker, hardly a dominating season.
2. Winner, winner, you go hungry...
To add on to the top seed curse, no team has ever led the league in regular season wins alone and won the championship. To this point in league history the regular season winner, when not shared, has been cursed to two fourth place finishes in 2006 and 2009, and a devastating second place finish in 2008. So far anything over 11 wins is a ticket to Loserville.
3. Perfect Nine...
The past two years have seen three 9-8 teams make the playoffs, and both years one of those 9-8 teams won the championship. In the first two years of the league no 9-8 teams made the playoffs, which makes the 9-8ers two for two with a third place finish mixed in because there are only so many titles to go around.
Will history hold, or will fantasy football continue to be as unpredictable as ever? Only time will tell...
