ShePlays NWSL Week 13 Team

The most boring thing in the world is someone else's fantasy team.

But hey, you're already here so let me tell you about mine.

I hate my team this week. I really do. I also hate that this is the last round before a month-long break. That means that if I do poorly, I stew on it for a month.

I'm a fun person, honest! I just have certain failings as a human being. Focusing on the negative is one of those failings.

Now this may be even more annoying than hearing about my fantasy team... hearing the overall number two complain about their fantasy team. And for that, I apologize.

But hey, you're already here so let's talk about my fantasy team. As the man (whom we won't name) said, "If you're not careful, you may learn something before it's done".

ShePlays NWSL: Week 2 Team

Week One is in the books. I hope your team was full of points. Congrats to those who rostered ("owned" makes me uncomfortable) Banda, or better yet, captained her.

I ended up with 140 points, good for 20th overall. Banda, Marta, Abello, and Chawinga were my big hitters, with everyone else between 5 and 8 points.

Looking forward to week 2, I have a general plan. First, to note that the top four teams -- Orlando, Washington, KC, and Gotham -- play each other. That's great for viewing, but lousy for fantasy. I'm considering benching some players from those teams and playing the matchups.
