Breaking the Mold Pt.3: Guillotine Leagues

Welcome to the Fantasy Den. This week on our Breaking the Mold series, Sam and Liam take a deep dive into one of fantasy football's most ruthless formats: Guillotine Leagues (or Chopped Leagues on Sleeper). In this unique format, the lowest-scoring team is eliminated each week, with their entire roster being thrown onto waivers for the remaining managers to fight over. The lads break down exactly how these leagues work, the different ways commissioners can structure them, and why they've become one of the most popular fantasy football league variants around.They also discuss the strategy behind surviving a guillotine league, including why consistency matters more than upside, how early-season schedules can influence your draft decisions, and the importance of managing your FAAB budget throughout the season. Liam shares his experience of being the first manager eliminated from an 18-team chop league, while both hosts reveal the types of players they target—and avoid—when every single week could be your last.If you're looking to try a new fantasy football format this season or simply want to improve your approach to guillotine leagues, this episode has you covered.🔗 Show Notes & Resources- 🎧 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/58gkhsJMX6s5H6u4jCjT6K- 🎧 Other https://linktr.ee/aawnetwork📱 Follow & Support Us🎧 Subscribe so you don’t miss episodes👍 Like / comment your thoughts on this week🔁 Share with fellow College Football fans💬 DM or comment your topic ideas for next time🔗 Asleep at Work Network🌐 Website: https://www.aawnetwork.com🪩 Discord: [https://discord.gg/U6KkTFBKkw]🐦 Twitter: [https://www.twitter.com/aaw_network]📸 Instagram: [https://www.twitter.com/aaw_network]😊 Facebook: [https://www.facebook.com/aawnetwork]🎥 TikTok: [https://www.tiktok.com/@aawnetwork] Hosted on Acast.
