Fantasy Football 2004-5
 
Looking through Yahoo today and ESPN and the fantasy football season looks like it's just about to start again.

Are people up for a league this year?

A couple of ideas I had were that as well as doing a head to head league like we normally do, we could also do a rotis league. To explain, unlike in head to head, in a rotis league points are scored over the season and decided on season totals. So in a 10 team league the person with the most rushing yards gets 10 points and the person with the least gets 1 point, and so on for all the scoring cats. The leagues could be run in parallel. People could do one or the other, or both.

I've been commish for the last couple of years and I'm happy to do it again, but if other people want to be commish instead then that is cool.

Really this topic is to set the ball rolling for ideas about the leagues and to see if there are enough people who want to be involved.

Doink 07-06-2004 12:52 PM

so is this american football? as id be interested to see if people would be up for one for the premiership (soccer/english football)

The Mask 07-06-2004 01:06 PM

We'll probably end up doing the BBC one again, but the scoring system in that leaves a lot to be desired.

The Mask 07-06-2004 01:21 PM

ok i dont like the sun either but i was thinking of something that everyone could get access to but the telegraph would do instead.

or we could use the daily sport :shifty:

EN 07-06-2004 01:34 PM

This is for football not soccer. :)

The Mask 07-06-2004 01:37 PM

Same difference.

Unless you're talking about American Football, then you can get out of this thread. I've hijacked it. Glory to Allah.

KingofOldSchool 07-06-2004 01:54 PM

I'll be the Commish in one of the NFL leagues.

Gonzo 07-06-2004 02:18 PM

I am up for some good ol' American football this year. :y:

I just read in the paper this evening that the Fantasy Football webpage is being deleted permanently from the BBC site sometime soon. So a new one it is :$

Boomer 07-06-2004 04:11 PM

I played Yahoo last year. Tis good. Even payed the 10 bucks to see the up-to-the-minute stats

Supreme Olajuwon 07-06-2004 04:14 PM

I'll be in everything or anything or whatever.

Yashamaga 07-06-2004 04:25 PM

Yeah I'll do it again. I know more about the NFL now

MoRcHeEbA 07-06-2004 04:35 PM

yup, ill be in the head to head league

Gonzo 07-06-2004 05:17 PM

I'm going to win. :)

But I won the big league so I should be Commish.

And we all know your rep. as Commish in Fantasy Leagues, Dave. :p

Supreme Olajuwon 07-06-2004 09:14 PM

yeah I would prefer if Dave is not a commisioner

AlphaBean 07-06-2004 10:23 PM

I'm in, but I tend to lose interest around halfway into the season. Let's hope that doesn't happen again :shifty:

FearedSanctity 07-06-2004 10:38 PM

I'm in. I finished 4th in a 12 man league last year. Oddly, I had the LOWEST POINT TOTAL out of everyone. But I guess that was good enough to be humiliated in the first round of the playoffs

road doggy dogg 07-07-2004 03:31 AM

If there's room, count me in. I need to make up for last year's second-half collapse. :o Pretty pumped up for football season alreadyyyy

If you're doing more than one league, I'll join a head to head, and a roto league if you're doing that. Maybe I'll get lucky again this year (Ahman Green has much love <3 ), and I swear this year I won't trade TO. Honestly. No really.

The Outlaw 07-07-2004 03:52 AM

I'm in.

#1-norm-fan 07-07-2004 04:16 AM

I'm in again.

Ended last year with a 4 game win streak, didn't make the playoffs. Gotta be one of the early faves.

Jesus Shuttlesworth 07-07-2004 04:48 AM

Yea I gotta get in after last years horrible performance

Missing the draft with 20 people :(

:( VICK :(

#1-norm-fan 07-07-2004 04:56 AM

Yeah, you can draft during pre-season, right? If so, we should probably wait as late as we can to draft to prevent another Vick/Pennington situation.

#1-norm-fan 07-07-2004 04:57 AM

Also, I'll set up another Pick'em league this year :y:

EN 07-07-2004 11:40 AM

Nicely timed.

Stima when did you last check your baseball teams?

I've set up a Points league and a head to head league.

I've set the head to head league to be 16 people but the points league to 20.

The details for the points league are:

league number 7928

Password: people

For the head to head:

league number: 7976

Password: tpww

http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1

All suggestions for scoring, cats, waiver time, number of players etc welcome.

Can people check out the scoring for the points league because Yahoo has some funny ideas, so i think it needs changing.

Boomer 07-07-2004 12:15 PM

Hey just to see whos in, say if you sign up and which league. I played head to head Yahoo last year with very few change in the points system.

Gonzo 07-07-2004 01:41 PM

I joined the head to head system and am ranking my players in case I can't make the draft. After that, I'll join the points league, but if anyone wants a spot I'll drop the points league.

Boomer 07-07-2004 02:26 PM

Meh I don't know how points goes so I joined head-to-head

road doggy dogg 07-07-2004 02:47 PM

Okay I'm going to sign up right now. I didn't look at the settings or anything yet, but I have a few suggestions.

For the points, last year's wasn't too bad, but there were a few things that screwed it up a bit. IMO QBs shouldn't get points for completions, that makes their totals too high. And while I don't dislike the way we did this last year, I think it would probably be better to have players select a team defense, rather than individual players. I only say this because I know we have a lot of newer players, and most people generally don't know who the best cornerbacks and linebackers etc are in the league. So I guess it evens the playing field out a bit. I wouldn't really be angry if it stayed like it was last year though, so no biggy.

I think other than that, the points should be fine. Maybe make it more like the default Yahoo one (6 pts for a TD, 25 yards / pt for receiving, 10 yards / pt for rushing, 50 yards / pt for throwing), but that is just being nitpicky. Whatever you wanna do, that's fine. These are just suggestions.

road doggy dogg 07-07-2004 02:53 PM

Oh and for the record, I signed up to both leagues. If that's a problem to anyone, I'll drop out if you need room or anything.

Boomer 07-07-2004 02:57 PM

While picking defense people is harder, I still enjoyed doing it. Again just another opinion.

And I'll sign up for both. Why not.

KingofOldSchool 07-07-2004 03:23 PM

NOTE: The scoring system is just a rough draft of sorts and if the majority wants a change to something let me know. I'm flexible and willing to negotiate. That includes the day and time of the draft.

The positions, I like only having 1 starting RB, since there are only a few quality RB's, same with TE's.

DaveWadding 07-07-2004 03:27 PM

I'm gonna create another league myself...

12 teams, head-to-head.

if you're interested, hit me up.

DaveWadding 07-07-2004 03:36 PM

Scot, there shouldnt be team defense and individual defense guys..pick one or the other :-p

Boomer 07-07-2004 03:38 PM

How many leagues do we need?!?!

DaveWadding 07-07-2004 03:40 PM

quite a few, some of us like playing Fantasy.

KingofOldSchool 07-07-2004 03:40 PM

I did that it one of my leagues I commished last season and the people there liked that, but if enough people who sign up for the league wants one or the other, I'll do so.

DaveWadding 07-07-2004 03:45 PM

BTW, I only have my league because I like getting drunk on the power I have.

BlackRavyyn 07-07-2004 10:08 PM

<font color=lightgreen>I see RDD's made a return to the boards which is nice to see his return. Too bad it's to see his sorry ass get kicked around in football :p

EN, if you need a commish for the rotis league - let me know if you want me to take it over... :D I have signed up for both of those two.

I didn't even realize they were setting up. What's next, hockey? :cool:</font>

Y2Ant 07-07-2004 11:23 PM

just do the individuals

#1-norm-fan 07-07-2004 11:40 PM

Yeah, just individuals. Keep everything even.

#1-norm-fan 07-07-2004 11:45 PM

I'm in the head to head league by the way

Crimson 07-08-2004 01:34 AM

I'll join a couple. Preferebly where i can draft defense.

The Outlaw 07-08-2004 01:36 AM

Joined a few.

EN 07-08-2004 11:21 AM

Well the 16 team league has 2 places left.

Plenty of places in the points league.

Could a couple of people ID themselves because I don't know who they are.

The Gathering

The Deacon Batista's

The points league is pretty simple to follow. Instead of your points being weekly they are based on season totals. So in head to head you might lose 28-31 and be pegged with a loss whilst someone else might win 10-7. In the points league your placing is decided by how many points you get rather than how many games you win.

I'll use the same scoring for both leagues and the same cats. You can only have 15 scoring cats and a maximum roster size of 25.

Point taken about the completions. last year we awarded .25 per completion.

Trades and whatnot, I reckon that we are all adults and if you make a stupid trade then its your own fault.

road doggy dogg 07-08-2004 01:10 PM

Deacon Batistas is Ant. I think he's using the same name in both leagues, but I'm not totally sure.


And about the trades... yeah it's annoying how every year it happens. I guess we'll just have to hope everyone's matured a bit and we'll all try and keep things even.

Y2Ant 07-08-2004 01:19 PM

Yeah i'm the Deacon Batistas, I don't recognize half the people in the leagues though, anyone wanna tell me who is who? :$

road doggy dogg 07-08-2004 01:22 PM

Jacox's Supastaz in tha house dawg

Gonzo 07-08-2004 02:18 PM

I'm in the head to head and points league run by EN, with working now I'd much rather concentrate on just a couple teams instead of trying to run four. Maybe I'll join Wadding's group since it is only 12 teams.

American Football is Rugby for pansies. Proper football however is a great game.

Yeah and if you continue being a retard and using that age old argument any longer in this thread you won't be able to brag about your stupid sport anywhere on this forum, if you catch my meaning.

Yahoo doesn't have it up yet I guess. Should be up any day though.

I'll also make a Survival league. Basically, that's where you start at week one by picking ONE team that will win their game that week. If you're right, you move on. However, once you pick a team to win their game, you can't pick the same team again for the rest of the year.

Jesus Shuttlesworth 07-09-2004 04:51 AM

I never stop checking football teams last year even tho mine sucked :(
