What best-practices should be used to win at fantasy football after the draft is already finished?
The league I'm in is in its 25th year so I've seen it all. Although drafting smart (or lucky) is important, more often it's the free agent pick-ups during the first couple weeks after the season begins that gets you in the playoffs. If a player is getting lots of carries or targets, there's a good chance that will carry through the rest of the season and it's worth a try. Same thing with the lower tier players you drafted. If they aren't getting the looks, cut them loose. To win it all, you need to make moves towards the end of the regular season that allow you to take advantage of NFL game match-ups or potential stars sitting the last game or two. Having a backup for the studs who got you to the playoffs is often what makes the difference in the Super Bowl.
Who are the five most important people who lived and why?
Just five?As far as real people, and not those who may have been legendary:Adolf Hitler - Without the war that he started, much of the world would have been under the colonial yoke well into the 1970s/1980s, Israel and the numerous problems associated with that state’s construction would not have existed, the US civil rights program would have languished for at least another decade or so and the Soviet Union/Warsaw Pact vs NATO extended Cold War would have never occurred.Mao Zedong - Transformed the disparate and corrupt nation of China into the brutal and authoritarian modern nation of China. May have been responsible for the deaths of more human beings than any other single person in history. Started China down the path that may lead it to becoming the world’s most powerful nation.Joseph Stalin - Led the former Soviet Union through the Second World War. Force the confrontations at the end of the war which began the Cold War. Help to create scenarios which led the Germany, Japan and the United States to become the most powerful nations on Earth. Responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of human beings.Henry the VIII of England - His decision to circumvent the Catholic Church because it would not allow him to divorce his wife led to the creation of a Protestant sect (the Anglican Church) which subsequently resulted in all of England’s future colonies becoming Protestant instead of Catholic and thus allowing that sect of Christianity to predominate especially in what became the United States, the most powerful nation in human history.Norman Borlaug - Invented several crop yield processes that have allowed the world’s population to nearly triple since the late 1940s. Saved tens, if not hundreds, of millions of lives as a result.
