Nucky Thompson Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 The new NFL season is nearly upon us, are we going to have a fantasy league like last year?

Darth Ewing Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I would interested in doing this aswell. Probley wouldnt be anygood at it but I would give it a go anyway. I dont know if I would have time to do a live draft. What sites would we use for the league???? I know people that have done leagues on Yahoo sports and NFLUK.com and are suppose to be good. I dont know what the other sites around are like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Ok I've set one up at ESPN.com, mainly because a few people will now be in Yahoo leagues and I don't think you can play in more than one league (I could be wrong though). Anyway here's the link http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/tools/join?leagueId=548452 Password: hearts I've set it up as an autopick league because it seems like it would be difficult to arrange a good time for a live draft. The date is currently set at Wednesday 3rd because that would give The Boo time to get back from holiday and sign up. But it's saying that the autopick draft will take place at 10am BST which is annoying, sure we'll be able to change it though.

Martin Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 That`s me signed up Never done one of these before what is the general rules on picking your team, when do we pick it and can you pick anyone The general rule at the moment is that you can't pick anyone and we just have to sit back and wait for players to be automatically assigned to us next Wednesday. Before then, you can rank the players in certain order to allow you a better chance of getting the players you want. For example, moving up someone who is projected to get picked later on.

Martin Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 We've got four places left, so we are doing pretty well number wise. I'd still prefer to do a live draft too, if possible. You can change certain things such as draft date and draft type but only if you get 6 votes in favour. It's in the referenda section. If we decide that we want a live draft, then it could be helpful to suggest days/times that suit people. Then we'd either have to get the 6 votes to change things in the league or I could just set up a brand new league either on ESPN or on Yahoo (seeing that you can play in more than one league).

Maybe we'll do that starting next week if people really aren't happy with what they've ended up with! The autodraft has been done, so here's a full rundown on the teams.

Overall it seems pretty fair, I mean you've got Livingston Patriots with a potentially ridiculous QB and WR trio of Romo, Moss, Wayne and Johnson but dodgy running backs. I'm pretty happy with my lot, some really good RB's and potentially a lot of points with my WR's. Although I might have to end up trading one of my bench ones for a QB, especially as I have a bit of overkill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Best idea is probably to try and fill up your RB and WR reciever positions before going after any other positions. Only exception to that is Brady, Manning or Romo. You can always pick up some decent quarterbacks later on. Brandon Marshall and Calvin Johnson are two wide recievers that could be really good this year that are pretty low down. I don't think I'm just saying that because they are in my team Plus Ricky Williams could be worth a punt at a later pick as a running back because it looks like he'll get his chance at Miami again.

Thanks for the tips! I have never done this sort of fantasy football before, is it normally the RBs that score the most points, or is it Tom Brady? I was thinking about it a bit more, and was planning to go for LT or AP if I was in the first few, but if they were no longer available I would try to get Brady. How does the draft normally work? Is it normally just RBs that get picked in the first round, or is it fairly random depending on who your opponents support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Grimes Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 RBs tend to score heavily, WR slightly less so & QBs slightly less again. but as Martin says, the top 3-4 QBs will score as highly as the top RBs. Brady will go 1st round generally, Manning late 1st to mid 2nd. don't deviate too much from the suggested rankings in the early rounds except for major things like late injuries, they're pretty accurate. also, when you're filling your backup slots keep an eye open and make sure they don't have the same bye weeks as your first choices. its displayed on the draft for you so is easy to keep track of. its also the time to try and pick up a few sleepers when you're at this stage, tho it can be difficult against the Yanks who obviously hear far more about these kind of guys. might go & sign up for one tonight!

Martin Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Rossi, you've got two pretty good teams there. The first one could all depend on the running backs, Portis should get plenty of points but McGahee could depend on how fit he is. Shocking luck about Brady in your second team, especially as that team could get a number of points. Probably not much difference between Bush and Turner for your second running back. Yahoo's predictions tend to be pretty decent, I guess they were wrong about Turner as he got a lot more!

I had Bush on the bench, but even he got 22 points I had already dropped Manning to get another qb with a different bye week, and think I will stick with Warner instead of re-signing Eli as WArner seems to have got the nod this season over Leinart, and is normally pretty reliable on the TD passes My first team struggled badly, but they should be a bit more solid once I GET Smith and Marshall back in and Peyton gets back up to speed.

rossi_1983 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I ain't having the best of luck My team wth Brady, which imo was the best in the league until his injury, has also been rocked with the news that Colston of NO, my no. 1 WR, is out for 4 to 6 weeks. With Dante Stallworth also doubtful, I am forced to pick Jackson who is up against the Dallas D. I also have a dilemma of who to pick between Turner and Bush at RB. Turner was awesome last week, with 34 points, but I think it will be much tighter against the TB defense. Bush looks more tempting, as he should get a lot of catches now Colston is out, and got 22 points last week anyway. What do the experts here think? My other team has Nate Burleson, after a decent first week, out for the season. With Steve Smith still out for another game, my only other backup is Kevin Curtis who is also a major doubt, and against the Dallas D. I am basically resigned to having one of my WRs getting 0 before the matches even start. My first choice WR, Marshall, is back, and I got rid of Ginn for DeShawn Jackson, which is imo a decent improvement, but until I get Smith back this team ain't up to much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
