Coach Talk

Ronniespe
Nice job overcoming that two-match losing streak, Ronniespe! Each fantasy GM will surely be presented with adversity somewhere along the way... keep on truckin' and take things one week at a time.
Mushroom🍄Mountains
Look, Mushroom🍄Mountains, we've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes seven extra points can just randomly come out of nowhere... and then sometimes, like in your case this week, they don't! The coaching staff here is proud of you, the most important thing here is that you tried.
