TPWW Fantasy NFL

[Moonax]

Yahoo have set up their pages.

I've renewed the TPWW league from last year (which Adam had run previously).

If anyone wants to join then just say and I can PM you the details.

[OssMan]

There is no NFL this year you guy

[Moonax]

That is as maybe, but Yahoo has activated the fantasy league so I've set the league up. If there is no NFL then c'est la vie.

[BigDaddyCool]

it boogles my mind when i hear of English people liking American football. You don't hear of American liking English baseball or cricket.

[Moonax]

That says more about you than it does about me.

[BigDaddyCool]

Yeah, it says the English have shitty sports.

[Moonax]

More likely that you are a close-minded bigot who gets his kicks wumming on the internet.

All round the world people are crying 'revolution, revolution', you're busy crying 'evolution, evolution, I want opposable thumbs'.

Don't you have some crosses to burn, people to lynch and close relatives to fuck?

[Splaya]

Let me know

[Cooler Tom Schuler]

If anyone wants to join then just say

I'm just sayin'.

[Droford]

I want to be everyones bitch again

[Moonax]

Maybe this year you might manage some bitches of your own.

[Crimson]

Thank you, come again

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I'd like to enter if there is a season this year.

I forgot I finished 3rd last year..

[FearedSanctity]

Maybe this is the time to break my 3 year curse of missing the draft and thus being fucked the entire season

[Moonax]

I'd like to enter if there is a season this year.

Well it looks like there will be a season so feel free to join.

[Gertner]

joined

[DaveWadding]

Yeah, I finally opened up my league from last year again. I sent out emails, but if you didnt get it/dont check Yahoo, let me know and I'll get you the info.

[Moonax]

Dave did you get the invite I sent you when I first set up the league?

I sent round invites the first time round but they may have got lost in people's inboxes.

Plenty of spaces available so feel free to join.

[Battlekat]

Kind of new to the forums but have done Yahoo fantasy football for a while. I'm in.

Edit: I've never done an auction draft, Can anyone kind of fill me in on how it works and if there is a huge difference between that and a normal draft?

[Moonax]

It's pretty straight forward, you have a pot of money to buy your whole roster.

Someone nominates a player and then everyone can bid on that player. The person with the highest bid gets the player.

The money is limited so once you have spent your money you are only able to buy dregs.

It has the advantage of meaning that draft order is less of a factor, and that you have to manage your budget.

[El Fangel]

I signed up.

Sounds like a great twist on things. I've signed up and am hoping LockoutWithUrCockOut wins it all

[El Fangel]

Auction is an excellent setup.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Moonax - I'll accept the invite to re-join your league tomorrow when I'm on a different computer.

Yahoo Fantasy Sports has consistently crashed on me for the past several months because my internet connection has been atrocious and Comcast blows - had more pressing shit to take care of though so I've been unable to get it fixed. It's the reason why I haven't even touched my fantasy baseball teams since early June. It crashes so often I decided to just pack it in for the year. I fucking hate dead teams, but my internet has given me no choice.

Should have everything up and running again by the NFL season though so I'll def be able to stay active.</font>

[Cooler Tom Schuler]

I am bad at auction drafts because I am a poor person who has never learned to handle money well.

[Crimson]

Is my spot still open? Someone else can take it if it is, I'm in 2 leagues with friends, 3 is too many.

[DaveWadding]

Anyone who still wants to play:

My league has 2 spots left with 9 days to go before the draft (August 21st). Here's the info.

http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/register/joinprivateleague_league_select?.scrumb=

LID: 147342
PW: football

[Battlekat]

Did a standard draft and got the following players (this is a ppr league)

1. Josh Freeman
2. Hakeem Nicks
3. Greg Jennings
4. Jamaal Charles
5. Ben-Jarvus Green-Ellis
6. Ryan Grant
7. Marcedes Lewis
8. Sam Bradford
9. Percy Harvin
10. Mike Sims-Walker
11. Danny Woodhead
12. Dan Carpenter
13. Kansas City

How'd did I do? This is the first of my 3 drafts.

[Cooler Tom Schuler]

Ryan Grant is a gamble that early. It'll be interesting to see how well he comes back from missing a year. It may wind up, though, being an example of the infrequently seen "establish the pass" which opens up the running game for him.

I really only need him for two weeks as he is my third running back. Its a PPR league so I think Percy Harvin or Sims-Walker could do whats needed for my flex spot. I honestly think that Ryan Grant will get back to old form though and could possibly be trade bait to better my QB or TE if it is needed.

[Reavant]

i wanna join if theres still spots... gotta defend my title from 2 years ago when i missed joining the league last year

[Cooler Tom Schuler]

I'll be working on draft day. (Unhappy.)

[DaveWadding]

i wanna join if theres still spots... gotta defend my title from 2 years ago when i missed joining the league last year

You can roll in our league. Still both spots left.

[Droford]

the one that drafts this weekend I'll be in for, the one that drafts the following weekend Im working.

So, at least im getting to do 1.

[Reavant]

You can roll in our league. Still both spots left.

I got this when i was trying to join...

There was a problem
There is not room in this league if all teams from last year return. To join, get the commissioner to increase the maximum number of teams, or remove teams that will not be returning. (Error #638)

[DaveWadding]

Fixed that. Sorry.

Were you able to sign up ok?

For anyone else interested there are still 4 slots free were at 16 teams at the moment.

What do people think about the idea of splitting it into two divisions of 8 considering it is a 14 week regular season?

[El Fangel]

I know its a no, but on the slim chance it IS possible, can you move the draft to 2.5 hours later? I wont be home until 730pm and the draft starts at 5pm.

Im not expecting it at all though.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Draft time works for me. I have work at like 4pm (est), so I can at least get to the opening rounds.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

We need another player btw. We have an odd number of managers.

[DaveWadding]

It's fixed. I can hand the second team over to anyone with a Yahoo account with no problems.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

fantasy football :o

I forgot all about fantasy football

[DaveWadding]

Wanna play?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

perhaps

[Droford]

i cant get the damn thing to load

[Droford]

super pissed off right now

[Droford]

QB Tony Romo
WR Stevie Johnson
WR Anquan Boldin
RB Frank Gore
RB LeSean McCoy
TE Jason Witten
W/R/T Ryan Grant
K Sebastian Janikowski
DEF Baltimore

I like my team..somehow..I have no bench though.

[DaveWadding]

For anyone that still wants to play, this is the team that is available:

QB P. Manning, Roethelisberger
WR G. Jennings, Maclin, B. Edwards, Breaston, Sanders
RB MJD, Stewart, Addai, R. Jennings, Sproles
TE Clark
K Gostkowski
DEF Dallas

[RoXer]

maybe

[Moonax]

FA - I am afraid there were no later slots for the draft.

I've split the league into two divisions which will be interesting. Division winners are the top two seeds and the rest of the playoff teams are decided by overall standings.

Supreme or anyone else who wants in the draft is this sunday but do feel free to sign up.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I think I can speak for many of the Northeast posters here when I say I most probably won't be at the draft. Highly doubt I will have power. Hoping autodraft doesn't screw me over too badly if that's the case.</font>

[El Fangel]

I'm going to be missing the first two hours. Though I might not.

[Moonax]

Good luck with the hurricane.

The draft is tomorrow and there are obviously slots still available if anyone else wants in.

[Droford]

i saw the league was still drafting but I cant get it to load on my computer just like last time..oh well

[El Fangel]

Do you have adblock by chance and was Adobe Flash player updated to newest version?

Adblock stops it from loading and so does AFP if not updated.

Also, that didnt go well at all.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Should be able to waltz into the playoffs. Love my team and there are some horrendous teams in the division.</font>

[Moonax]

i saw the league was still drafting but I cant get it to load on my computer just like last time..oh well

Do you have no-script or anything like that running?

[Battlekat]

I definitely overspent on my offense, but I think my defense is formidable enough. Really thrilled that autodraft picked a retired linebacker for me (mike vrabel). I absolutely love my rb and wr core. All in all not bad for my first auction draft.

[Droford]

Droford is F'ed .. for sure!

Id drop more players if it would let me. Make me an offer for Eli Manning!

[#1-norm-fan]

I wanna do a draft tonight. And I wanna do it on ESPN. Who's with me?

[Dragon]

My autodraft had a very interesting strategy - spend $3 or less on 21 of my picks. And for my big money picks get Mark Ingram, Knowshon Moreno and Kenny Britt.

Hmm...

[El Fangel]

Only bad thing about auction, is if you miss it.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah, I didn't think I'd be able to make it to the draft - but I'm glad I did. Otherwise I'd have essentially zero chance of contending because autodraft is retarded.</font>

[Battlekat]

The auto-drafted teams just looked horrible. I don't think auto-draft attempted to get one good player for those teams. No way I'd have the team that I do if it wasn't so bad.

[El Fangel]

My team is awful.

[Battlekat]

Were you the one that got T.O. and Cam Newton? Good thing this league didn't have money involved.

[El Fangel]

I'm a noob, anything but last place I exceed expectations.

[Moonax]

Well you did draft Randy Moss and a guy on IR, 3 TEs and 6 DBs

Pretty happy with my team, looking for an RB and another DB, pretty stacked at WR and have 3 QBs so looking to offload one of them for a top tier RB. Am willing to look at 2 or 3 for 1 deals.

[El Fangel]

Actually I had stepped away and that was autodrafted lol.

[El Fangel]

Auction draft is goddamn awful at autodrafting.

Not looking for a QB as I think Big Ben will be somewhere around 4000-5000 yds this this season. Depending on who you have, I might be able to do a 2 for 2 deal with Frank Gore and Dwayne Bowe for an elite WR and a lesser running back to fill the empty spot.

[Battlekat]

LOL at whoever offered me Braylon Edwards/Sidney Rice for Rashard Mendenhall. I'll be declining that as soon as I get home and can log in to Yahoo.

[Droford]

I feel quite dumb blowing $60 on waiver pickups but I had dumped so many people that if I didnt get the few guys I wanted I would definitely be screwed.

[El Fangel]

Just got offered this

Cassel
Edwards
Tomlinson
Jacobs

for

(My team)
McFadden
Manning, P
Knox

Thoughts?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Just finished drafting my 3rd team. Public league, default settings (3 WR, 2 RB, no flex). Got the 10th/last pick

QB: Roethlisberger, Fitzpatrick
RB: Turner, Bradshaw, Best, Beanie Wells, Daniel Thomas
WR: Fitzgerald, Austin, Julio Jones, Collie, Steve Smith (CAR)
TE: Gronkowski
K: Henery
DEF: Chicago

A lot of rookies and first year players. Hope it pays off. I'm not too thrilled with Ben as my QB but there was a run on QB's early, the only reason picking 10th sucks. Even more annoying is that Ryan and Peyton (risky but still preferable to Ben) went immediately before me.

Prolly gonna do one more later this weekend to get to my standard 4 teams.</font>

[Requiem]

No, don't take that shitty trade, FA. You are getting ripped off bigtime.

Also, did our fantasy draft tonight. We're doing it through a local Pub, where they provide us all kinds of shit and give us free food every month, and other things. Personalized draft board and scoreboard. We do the game through ESPN's thing. Anyways, here is my team. I was last to pick, so I got back-to-backs which was sort of nice, except I got FUCKED on RBs. Going last was kind of nice though because I got to pick 'good players' before anyone got to those things. Took Peyton Manning and Antonio Gates for my first 2, and I don't regret it. Also got Packers D before anyone started taking D's, and same with Janikowski. Got decent WR picks when they first started getting taken, and people were still fighting over RBs.

QB - Peyton Manning
QB - Joe Flacco

TE - Antonio Gates
TE - Marcedes Lewis

WR - Greg Jennings
WR - DeSean Jackson
WR - Austin Collie
WR - Kenny Britt

RB - Knowshon Moreno
RB - BenJarvis Green-Ellis
RB - Ladanian Tomlinson
RB - Donald Brown
RB - Ryan Torain

D - Packers
D - Chargers

K - Janikowski

[Requiem]

Think I have all my bye weeks covered already but I could be wrong.

[Moonax]

Has anyone heard from Gertner or AnsonG as to whether or not they are still playing?

[Crimson]

Yea we did the same thing . It's pretty cool actually drinking, and we did the drafting manually only with a big board. We picked our numbers out of a hat..I got 2nd

QB- Josh Freeman
Kyle Orton

WR- Andre Johnson
Hakeem Nicks
Dez Bryant
Chad Ochocinco
A.J. Green

HB- Chris Johnson
LeGarrete Blount
Knowshawn Moreno
Benjarvus Green-Ellis
Fred Jackson

TE- Jermichael Finley

DEF- Falcons

[Dragon]

Nice, my starting fantasy QB gets released from his team.

[Droford]

In the league where I showed up and drafted I scored the most points so far, though I should guess by the end of MNF that wont be the case.

In the league where I didnt show up, 3rd lowest out of 16 teams..ugh

[Dragon]

Surprisingly won this first week in the TPWW league. In one other league where I actually drafted and have a team 100 times better than this one I lost so go figure.

[El Fangel]

I had my ass handed to me in the TPWW league and reverse in the public league I am in.

[FearedSanctity]

Got hosed in all 3 of my leagues, as each team I played had either Rodgers or Brees. One had Rodgers and Jennings. Actually won 2 of them though, of course only losing the TPWW one

[El Fangel]

I had Brees in one league.

That league I won in.

[FearedSanctity]

What league are you in? Did you beat me faggot? :mad:

[El Fangel]

My teams name in that league is the Oklahoma Outlaws.

[Droford]

Im glad I started Fitzpatrick over Romo, I would have only won by .22 points instead of the bigger win I had and it'll put me #2 in the league I actually stand a chance in.

I did win the game in the Im F'ed league but only cause I played the worst team in the league. Would have had a bigger win had I gone with Eli Manning instead of Dalton..wtf was I thinking there lol.

[El Fangel]

Jesus, my TPWW team is terrible.

The other league I'm 3-0-0

[Dragon]

Surprised I've gone 2-1 in the TPWW league, my team is terrible. Now my best player in Kenny Britt (yeah, my best player) is done for the year though.

I'm in one other league and my team is 0-3 with a team of-

QB - Cam Newton/Ben Roethlisberger
WR - Mike Wallace, Mario Manningham, Santana Moss
RB - Chris Johnson, Ahmad Bradshaw
TE - Aaron Hernandez, Marcedes Lewis
BN - Brandon Jacobs, Tomlinson, McCluster

[Moonax]

My team would be doing better if Chris Johnson wasn't sucking balls.

[Crimson]

Ugh in one league for my 2nd pick I had my choice of Brees, Brady or Rivers . I wanted a top QB because the TD passes are the same as rushing and recieving td's..and Rivers is sucking it thus far -_-

[Droford]

Rivers will come around, the Chargers always stink in September

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Looks like I'm headed for a 1-3 week. I really liked my teams coming out of the draft, but I've had some horrendous luck in playing against guys who happen to have huge weeks.</font>

[Dragon]

Getting ridiculously lucky in that one league. On my whole offense I only have four or five of my original autodraft guys left and I'm most likely 3-1 after tomorrow. Pretty sure every week I've faced one of the autodraft teams though so I'm ready to get destroyed every week from here on out.

[Gertner]

lol missed the draft am I'm still 2-2. Who would have thought Matt Hasselbeck and Cam Newton would be amazing.

[Droford]

I cant help but wonder how great my team would have been had I made the draft seeing how well I did so far with my other team that I did draft (FIRST PLACE!!)

Theres absolutely nothing else I can really do to improve my crappy team either, I'll give it a couple more weeks but Im probably done with that one and I dont usually like to abandon teams but its just not fun when the best I can do is barely 100 and other teams are doing 160-180 every week.

[Requiem]

Just picked up Matt Hasselbeck for my bye week. Was lucky that he hadn't been picked up already, as I didn't realize that both my QBs at the moment had the same bye week.

2-2 right now :(

[Requiem]

1 guy is 4-0 right now, 1 is 3-1, 1 is 2-1-1 (lol tie) and them me and 2 other people are 2-2 with the rest going down from there.

[Droford]

Im having a hard time believing that in the league where I missed the draft I am on the verge of going 3-3 should I get a good game out of Holmes tomorrow and the Bears somehow contain AP. Hard to believe Im somehow in contention given how god awful my team was and Im going to luck out next week facing broski's without Vick/Jackson/McCoy/Celek and Branch.

In the other league where I did make the draft, I will end up being in a big tie for 2nd at 4-2 but my team has scored 20 more points than #1 team and the bye week wont hurt me that bad in that league.
