QUALITY VS DEPTH

One of the most polarizing issues in the fantasy sports world (and this issue cuts across just about every fantasy sport) is QUALITY VS DEPTH. What we mean by this is: Is it better to have 9 or 10 all-star all world players coupled with a bunch of so-so mediocre types and no bench VS having 4 or 5 stars 15-20 above average solid players , and having the bench be average players that can and do contribute to a fantasy squad. ( this of course assumes you cant have a team of 25 super stars on your squad). When we asked fantasy owners which side of the fence they came down on the overwhelming answer was QUALITY. But after looking at various leagues across all sports and several fantasy sport companies were not so sure.

To the TPFS eye it appears having a solid squad that is put together in such a way that it is less likely to be being crippled by injury offers advantages that are far and away better than a handful or superstars and no supporting cast. We could go on and on with details/comparisions and analyze , but for now just remember it maybe better to have all good players than some great and rest bum central. ( more on this to come early next week)
