TP NFL Fantasy Football

[GeoffM]

Anyone care to set one up on Yahoo? I'm game for it again this year.

[lightfungus]

Fuckin' a. Don't get me drooling over football yet, we still have too much time to wait. But your durn tootin I am up for TPFF!

[Talking Poker]

I'll be in too. Talk to me in a month.

[eejit101]

im in, and ill win again. if i didnt leave the country, id have won, simple!

[GeoffM]

You can set them up on Yahoo! now. Someone post a good scoring system and I'll set up.

[Talking Poker]

PLEASE, whatever you do, don't use that ridiculous QB only scoring system Aeq set up last year.

I can post a good one for you if you want... does Yahoo have a default one though?

This is a league I've been in for years. We've tweaked the scoring system year after year, and IMO, it's really good:


It's lower scoring than the typical fantasy league, but the best teams win.

[lightfungus]

The thing I see with that is yahoo doesn't subtract for missed field goals, which means our league would be kicker friendly, and in my mind thats stupid. Lower the kicker points and stuff for that. I don't mind the rush/rec TDs being one more than the passing TDs, but we should adjust Yahoo's defaults first I think:


Check em out and make suggestions.

My first suggestion is to add actual individual defensive players in addition to a team defense.
And I also liked having quarterback's a completion percentage matter, like 1/2 point for a completed pass and 1/2 point for incomplete pass.

[jillaj]

I will be in as well.

[thrash1294]

I will play
do you all do auto draft?

[bigjohnstud2o]

im game.

[lightfungus]

Hell no.

[GeoffM]

Let me look into this tomorrow.

[Aequitas58]

I'll play as well.

And whoever sets it up: pick a popular scoring system.

[thrash1294]

ok then

[omahilo]

I won this thing last year so I guess I will defend my title again.

[BlibbityBlabbity]

I'm in again.

[Gordogg]

I'm definitely in.

[lightfungus]

Sorry, didn't mean to ass it up... But the draft is half the fun!

[thrash1294]

no thing

[Akverno]

I'm definately in.

[lightfungus]

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have our league! I decided to go ahead and set it up and this way we get a decent draft time and lots of time to modify things. Hopefully we can get a whole bunch of people in this, or maybe you guys want to limit it, another thing we can change. Anyhoo, if you want to sign up now or in a month, feel free.



You can see the league settings on the side bar right at this registration page. These are the same settings I used for my league last year and it seemed to work out well.

I hate the scoring system , and as it stands, there's no way I coul make that draft time, since that's when my REAL FFL draft is.

[lightfungus]

Apparently it all sucks, but try to break the problem areas down a bit so I can try and modify, Mr. Constructive. And what day is best for everyone? The times go quick in the next couple of weeks so let me know. I want to point out though, that at least this system doesn't contribute to Peyton's team winning, like last years. I think this one is pretty balanced.

[Talking Poker]

It's way too high for defense, for starters. I hate when defensive scoring (more of a crapshoot than anything else) decides fantasy football games.

I would recommend scheduling it for a Wedensday night, around 9:30 - those are our best turnouts for tourneys, so it stands to reason they would be for this as well. During the day on weekend is a bad idea. How about the Wednesday after you have it now? 9/6? That's right before the season starts, so any last minute injuries will be known too.

[lightfungus]

As I agree with, and now remember, that defensive scoring is fickle at times I went ahead and lowered their point values a good bit. However, I do not think it is so fickle as to delete individual defensive players all together. And the draft time has been changed to September 6th, 9:30 EST .
