Fantasy Football 2004-5
 

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.

what about the sun (newspaper) rules then everyone can keep track via a paper or their website!

shut up the sun. I'll czech out the daily telegraph one when that starts again. that used to be pretty good.

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:

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 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 :$

I'll do it cause I stomped everyone in your league last year

except for CNM :(

Curses :mad:

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

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.
