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. |
so is this american football? as id be interested to see if people would be up for one for the premiership (soccer/english football)
|
We'll probably end up doing the BBC one again, but the scoring system in that leaves a lot to be desired.

or we could use the daily sport :shifty: |
This is for football not soccer. :)
|
Same difference.
Unless you're talking about American Football, then you can get out of this thread. I've hijacked it. Glory to Allah. |
I'll be the Commish in one of the NFL leagues.
|
I am up for some good ol' American football this year. :y:

I played Yahoo last year. Tis good. Even payed the 10 bucks to see the up-to-the-minute stats
|
I'll be in everything or anything or whatever.
|
Yeah I'll do it again. I know more about the NFL now
|
yup, ill be in the head to head league
|
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 |
yeah I would prefer if Dave is not a commisioner
|
I'm in, but I tend to lose interest around halfway into the season. Let's hope that doesn't happen again :shifty:
|
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
|
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. |
I'm in.
|
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. |
Yea I gotta get in after last years horrible performance
Missing the draft with 20 people :( :( VICK :( |
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.
|
Also, I'll set up another Pick'em league this year :y:
|
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. |
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.
|
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.
|
Meh I don't know how points goes so I joined head-to-head
|
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. |
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.

While picking defense people is harder, I still enjoyed doing it. Again just another opinion.
And I'll sign up for both. Why not. |
At the request of EN, I've set up a 20 team league. Details of it in a minute..

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. |
I'm gonna create another league myself...
12 teams, head-to-head. if you're interested, hit me up. |
Scot, there shouldnt be team defense and individual defense guys..pick one or the other :-p
|
How many leagues do we need?!?!
|
quite a few, some of us like playing Fantasy.
|
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.
|
BTW, I only have my league because I like getting drunk on the power I have.
|
<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> |
I'll be in if there's room :wave:

Yeah, just individuals. Keep everything even.
|
I'm in the head to head league by the way
|
I'll join a couple. Preferebly where i can draft defense.
|
Joined a few.

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. |
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. |
Yeah i'm the Deacon Batistas, I don't recognize half the people in the leagues though, anyone wanna tell me who is who? :$
|
Jacox's Supastaz in tha house dawg
|
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.

Holy Snikeys/RoyalAnus representin'

If you can't figure me out, I'm sorry

Have it. Your fancy names will do nothing against my superior knowledge and prowess. |
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.
|
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS |
American football is just rugby for pussies :n:
|
CANADIAN FOOTBALL IS WHERE ITS AT.
sssssssssssssssssssssssssss |
Oh hush, I played rugby at school. I'll have none of your crapola. I've played football too. You get hit you feel it either way. |

Now you may re-answer the question. |
I don't think EN set one up yet. :y: |

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. |
I can't join :mad: Not working
Oh yea Baseball.....MY BAD...Football is different I never stop checking football teams last year even tho mine sucked :( |
