I see some debate about the merits of posting seasonal results here. I'll add a twist: lessons learned.
11 teams, all in playoffs, six #1 seeds, three teams still alive.
Common theme among eliminated teams: in-season weaknesses bit me in the end...

My oldest league is a 12-team dyno that uses NFL playoffs for fantasy playoffs. I'm tied for first at 14-1.
Do you wish your regular season had more meaning? Want more trading? This could be the format for you!

10-team PPR dyno with big-play and milestone bonuses, 25-man rosters: #3 seed, in finals.
This league is all about WRs. Impact players at the position are very hard to trade for. I gambled on Corey Davis, who's been a key cog. I've rostered about 20 WRs all season.

12-team SF 0.5 PPR RSO contract league, start 10 IOPs, 21 roster spots: #4 seed lost semifinal.
I was trying to three-peat here, but my cheap superflex strategy finally caught up with me. Taysom was benched; Lock and Ben came up small.

96-team dyno with tiers of 16, SF TEP PPC PPR full-IDP (a bit tackle-heavy): #1 seed in Tier 1 (below "premier league") in final.
I wasn't sure I'd contend, but I landed on JRobinson and had MDavis. They and Kamara are the team's engine.
Just load up on RBs in PPC leagues!

16-team IDP-only dyno, 18 starters: #1 seed lost in semifinal.
A 2020 startup in which managers are still figuring out the league and the trade market. JPP and other studs came up small in Week 15. Waivers run on Tuesday, making in-season roster management much harder on me.

20-team SF PPC PPR 2TEP true-position IDP dyno: #6 seed lost in quarterfinal.
Managers rarely trade because they feel they have no depth to deal. So asset durability is even more important. I built around RB in '19 and pivoted to TE in '20. QB?
I'll have to retool in '21.

16-team contract league, PPC PPR PPFD TEP full true-position IDP: #4 seed lost in quarterfinal.
I poorly anticipated prices of offensive depth in the startup auction last spring. The lack of depth was my undoing. Thereafter, I posted the league's high score this week.

14-team dyno, SF PPC PPR 2TEP 2DT IDP league: #3 seed lost in quarterfinal.
In a low-activity league, I couldn't replace Barkley, Guice, Fuller, or Golladay, and my DL was weak all season. Scarcity pinches.

45-team 3-copy best-ball redraft, SF PPC PPR PPFD TEP true-position IDP: 1st of 45, lost in playoffs 2nd round.
I'd never played best-ball, but my instincts seemed spot on: aim for floor at QB, RB, IDL, & LB. I lost a shootout in a league in which a single IDP can score 100 pts.

17-team eliminator - best-ball w/o in-season management, SF PPC PPR TEP IDP123: eliminated in penultimate week.
I had a big lead in total points, but my QBs were Cam and Ben.
My instincts here also were on point. As for IDP123, I drafted all my LBs and DBs in rounds 55-70.

The path to a chip in a league like this is narrow. I needed to press harder to cash in futures for high-end starters. TE sucked.
I have lots of picks. Let's see how I feel a year from now.

70-team 5-copy dyno, SF PPC PPR PPFD TEP DTP full-IDP: 4th of 70 (#1 seed) lost in semifinal.
Similar story to the previous league (same commish). Faded late in part due to Julio (out), Boyd (no QB, concussed), and Engram (no QB). DLs were unusually quiet, too.

Your thoughts? Does this help? Is it interesting? Do you wanna play in one of these leagues?
