What is this fantasy football?

[paceman]

Basically each person drafts a team of players.
QB
RB
WR
K
A Defense

Then each week you get points based on the performance of your players.

[Rand{CLR}]

If you want some easy wins, join up and hope you get me in a given week. I know nothing about football. I'll stay active, but I'm almost completely clueless.

Baseball is completely different. You wankers need to want to play that next season. :P

If you still need, I'll join if you are not using Fox like last year

bigtwinky@gmail.com

Note that I am the reigning champ... :D

And to people who join, please do NOT leave mid year. If your team totally sucks, at least play it out. Rand had a pretty horrid team last year but stuck through it for the sake of the game.

There is nothing worse in FFL than to have half the people quit mid year. Thats what happened last year.

If you are unable to commit to 1 hour per week for 16 weeks, then do NOT sign up.

[BigTwinky]

Cool, I'm in

And thanks for not chosing Fox! Yahoo is my preferred provider! :D

[minfootball]

so when are we starting?

[ViTO]

Hey sorry for crashing the party so late.

DO you have your 12 ?? If not throw " The Victorious ViTOs " an invite.

Last 2 years we always started strong then ran out of steam.

vitop@nycap.rr.com

Can we get a list of final teams !! :2thumbs:

[minfootball]

NevusNators
-
- Twinky's Twinks
- BoomSticks
- The Dirty Old Goats
- Sebastian
- Paceman Punters
- Point Scorers
- Min's Bears

[Jeffro]

hey when are we going to do the draft... i'm ready when everybody else is.

[Rand{CLR}]

I still need to yank the hurt guys out of the auto draft queue. :D

-Rand

[Jeffro]

i'm gonna have my own personal new orleans saints lol

[LIMEY]

I will set the draft to fire off 9/5 at 12:00 unless everyone tells me they are ready before that! :2thumbs:

[BigTwinky]

I'd recommend a few days (at least) earlier than that.

The first regular season game this year is Sept 6 (Saints vs Colts) so that would give little to no time to fix up rosters and such.

If we were drafting live, then no prob. But with an autodraft, you are never sure who you will end up with. You can sometimes get stuck with some inactives.

So the sooner the better IMO

[minfootball]

i'm ready :2thumbs: go bears :2thumbs:

[paceman]

Roll Call -

Who's ready for the Draft???

Me!

[Jeffro]

ready to whoop some ass!!!!!!!!!!

[LIMEY]

I' ready, Ok I will move it up to Labor day? Everyone agreeable to that?

[paceman]

:2thumbs:

[Rand{CLR}]

Works with me.

-Rand

[BigTwinky]

Sounds like a plan!

[Jeffro]

i'm ready tomorrow lol

[dirtyoldgoat]

I'm ready...bring it!

[beanlover]

Any more slots open? If not that's ok...good luck to everyone!

[Jeffro]

i'm getting anxious lol.

[Jeffro]

rand its looking like me and you gonna go at it first :)

[BigTwinky]

All you need to beat Rand is a really intimidating game face :D



Now that I have said that, he will draft an awesome team and win the league.

[Jeffro]

lol yeah... well you might as well call me the new orleans saints after the draft is over b/c hopefully i'm drafting all of my top ranked players from the saints lol

[BigTwinky]

Sucks to be you then :P :D :D

[Jeffro]

why does it suck to be me? b/c you don't like the saints or are you stealin people from my team? lol

[Rand{CLR}]

I think head to head in general isn't my cup of tea. I'm getting my ass kicked in my two baseball H2H leagues this season, 12 of 12 (full) and 11 of 12 (midseason). I always win the first two days by a huge amount, then fall slowly to misery by Saturday. I do much better in the non H2H format, with a number of teams in the top 3 right now. I draft guys that do great over a full season, but implode in the wrong weeks/matchups.

The plus side is, the full season league is so close and crazy that 1-2 good weeks could jump me up to 4th.

The downside is, in football I'll probably lead through the third quarter of the first set of games each Sunday, then drop to a big, humiliating loss by the end of the night, to say nothing of the Monday night game. :twisted:

-Rand

[BigTwinky]

I'm just picturing a team full of Saints not being the best for FFL. Brees will be good, but he doesn't have a huge receiving corp. People are in on Colston, so he won't have the luxury of being a 2nd receiver with no name. Henderson is still young, not sure if he was just lucky late last year.

Reggie Bush can be great in a league with points per catch extra for RB. But he is still splitting time with Deuce. Either should be a decent pick.

Johnson is not a bad TE. TE is interesting this year as the position is pretty deep. You had Gonzalez or Gates in the past, then a huge drop off for the others. This year, you have a least 6 TEs that should put up similar numbers (700+ yds and 6+ TDs).

I'm not a fan of the Saints Defense.

So hey, go ahead and pick them up, it will leave other players available for me. :D

[minfootball]

only thing i absolutely call is bears d
:2thumbs:

[Jeffro]

your forgetting my sleeper :) i don't want to say his name but after the draft i will.

[Jeffro]

dude i'm ready for the draft tomorrow lol.

[BigTwinky]

haha...sleepers are all good, I hope some of mine don't get picked so I can draft them as free agents =P

[ViTO]

Any more slots open? If not that's ok...good luck to everyone!

Bump up 2 teams for me and the beanlover, I keep getting the " League is Full " :cry: :cry:

[LIMEY]

Vito try again, Beanlover I need an email for you, check your PM's

[baller4life2468]

Never tried it. I could give it a try.

[Jeffro]

guys don't forget to be ready for the draft on monday

[paceman]

:2thumbs:
You'll have to fight me for them! :wink:

[BigTwinky]

Lets please not go over 14 teams. There is a huge dropoff in quality of players when you go from 12 to 14. Anything more means that you are probably starting some people you have never heard of.

14 is the max I will do, and I did that just for Vito! :2thumbs:

[BigTwinky]

Thats cool, I'm all for making room for friends.

But when the league gets too big, it stops being fun.

Although I do predict that out of the 14, maybe 8 or so will remain at the end of the season, which will be a piss off as they will have some key players.

I can make rule as far as activity.......

[BigTwinky]

Interesting? what types of rules?

I much prefer Head to Head leagues over Point leagues. But the advantage of point leagues is that if some people are not active, they just drop down. No harm on the active people other than some good players going to waste. In head to head leagues, if someone is inactive, they typically lose a game as they can have many players starting that are inactive themselves.

Although that being said, last year, I think we had someone who was inactive end up in the semis.

[ViTO]

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it and sorry for jumping in so late.

I'm all set, let the draft begin. :D

I'll have the fingers crossed for Shaun Alexander, hoping to see the big numbers from him THIS year !!

and dont ask me why but I think Jon Kitna in Detroit will put up big numbers, since he has decent receivers and will be forced to throw alot since his defense will give up huge points
:wink:

To me he could be a pleasant surprise for someone.

[Jeffro]

i'm gonna pwn all of you with my sleepers :)

[Dead_And_Gone]

I think Witten in Dallas is going to have a Gates type year.
TO is catching everything, now that he is concentrating and his finger is fixed. Watch for him to lead the league.

Dallas D was expected to improve drastically, but their best corner is hurting, and that will drastically change everything if he can't play.
Jury is still out.

Have fun guys. :2thumbs:

[minfootball]

draft is today right?

[LIMEY]

draft is today right?
Yes now I am home I am setting the draft to ready

Thanks to yahoo for the wait, but we are now up and running.

[BigTwinky]

Draft is done...Jeffro, sorry to grab Bush from ya like that. The only part of your NO team you are missing. You should of picked him up in the first round and you could easily of picked up Brees in the second.

Although I'm feeling an ACL injury for Bush in a few weeks, but we'll see.


Kind of an odd draft. Some people obviously going with their favorite team no matter the logic.

Going to be a fun year!

[beanlover]

Well...looks like I got some decent picks...definitely not everyone I wanted haha but that's ok. The NFL seems deeper in talent this year so hopefully everyone got some good folks.

Should be a fun season! Good luck everyone!

[paceman]

Darn - Not 1 descent RB. But I got Payton, things aren't all bad.

[lady-MGS]

I must have done something wrong in the predraft because I didn't get anyone that I picked. And I'm still trying to figure out how I ended up w/ the 49er's defense :?

[BigTwinky]

You don't really pick anyone in the pre-draft.

You essentially place the players in your order of preference. As do all the other teams. Then the order of picking is established and the list just systematically goes down one by one.

When your turn is up, it checks to see which is your highest ranked player that is still available for a position that has not yet been totally filled (to make sure you don't end up with 8x QBs). This is probably why your SF defense was picked. The system has already all the starting positions, so looked to fill the DEF position and at that time, SF was your highest ranked.

The only person that is 100% guaranteed their pick is the #1 guy on his first pick. Whoever he has ranked #1, he gets.

[Rand{CLR}]

I guess I had first pick, because I have LT. :2thumbs:

We wanted him :P


I'm not complaining. I'm just doing this with my son who is beyond ecstatic that he's doing this. He knows who all the guys are that he got and he's happy having the 49er's.

[BigTwinky]

Throughout the year, he can drop players and pick up others who are on the "bench".

So its important to keep up to date on who is hot and who is not. Sometimes, you can get lucky with some guys who are nothing early in the season and get on hot streaks.

So his team is not locked in. He can also try and trade with other managers.

But I wouldn't suggest offering your SF D for Tomlinson =P

[Jeffro]

so do yall just wanna hand me the trophy now? :2thumbs:

[BigTwinky]

Considering that the points are player based and not team based, no thanks.

Maybe if you had Bush... :P :D

[Jeffro]

i despise you :shock:

[LIMEY]

so do yall just wanna hand me the trophy now? :2thumbs:

Your going to get like so totally pwnzored! :P

[ViTO]

I'll take my...

Chad & Andre Johnson, Steven Jackson and Baltimore Defense and Go with it the whole way !!


I hate Tony Roma and Dallas but hopefully Steve " AIR " McNair LOL will make a nice mix.

and since I'm a Buffalo fan, dont be surprised if I throw them at you from time to time !! NOT !!

:twisted:

Overall I'm happy.

First game puts my "D" against my #1 Receiver :shock: should be fun to watch.

GO DEEP....no wait....INTERCEPTION....no no I mean....GO DEEP TO THE OTHER GUY...C'MON GET AN INTERCEPTION !! or TOUCHDOWN or INTERCEPTION... I'll even play McNair...Then it will get really ugly !!

READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL !!!!

[BigTwinky]

Jeffro, quick, someone dropped Eric Johnson, NO's TE.
Get him while he's free!

:D

[Jeffro]

lol i hate you. man the saints did bad last night.... atleast i'm winning in fantasy right now lol

[paceman]

lol i hate you. man the saints did bad last night.... atleast i'm winning in fantasy right now lol
I had a great night last night with
Payton Manning
Reggie Wayne
Dallas Clark.

NO didn't look good at all. Both teams looked a little rusty in the 1st half. 2nd half, different ballgame. Indy looked in mid season form.

[Jeffro]

the saints were horrible last night

[dirtyoldgoat]

lol i hate you. man the saints did bad last night.... atleast i'm winning in fantasy right now lol

I was kinda worried coming into this weekend. Not so much now though... :P

Surprised as hell that Jay Cutler scored more Fantasy points that Payton Manning though. Here I was thinking I got screwed... :P

[BigTwinky]

Cutler was awesome towards the end of last year. He seems to be building a good connection with Brandon Marshall.

I knew that Moss and Brady would make a good team, I'm just hoping that this week wasn't a total fluke.

I'm pretty stoked with the 2nd highest points in the league, and I have Carson Palmer still to come. And Reggie Bush sucked this week

The first few weeks are always hectic. You start wondering how long you will hold on to some people before you drop them.

Week 2 : Goat vs Twinky :D 8)

[dirtyoldgoat]

Week 2 : Goat vs Twinky

Bring it! :P

I'm kinda in the same situation hoping that it wasn't a fluke, the nice thing is that I still have Willis McGahee left to go, so I'm interested to see how he bumps my score...

[Jeffro]

goat you beat me :(

[LIMEY]

My team sucks! I hate the commish.....wait I am the commish, how did this happen! :cry:

McGahee is bitter sweet for me... I have him in another league. So I hope he does great next week, but if he does, it will come back to haunt me in this league.
