Fantasy Football 2008

[CrazyT]

I have another fantasy draft tomorrow. This time, a 10-team league. Haha. Wonder if I'm able to manage 3 teams.

[SKYLINE GT-R 32]

I'm thinking I will set the autodraft to go off on Friday, September 5th. That'll give us some more time to recruit more players. But I'm open to suggestions. If you need more time to make roster changes, then we can draft earlier.

Im cool with that date. So how people are playing right now then?

Ideally, there should be only 8 teams. Since it is a 14 week season, that would mean we play everybody in the league two times each.

[~Dan~]

I like 10 team leagues (I'm use to the ESPN format)..

I did mention your name Lunar, just was lazy to im ya, I am glad you saw this thread.

Hm...anyone tried the new auction league style? Anyways, we are not going to get 12 people by the end of August. I think we should do either an 8 team or perhaps 10 team.

[CrazyT]

Well, we have 5 ppl so far. We need 1 more to make it 6.

Hey Lunar, thanks for retaining the Fan Bing Bing name you are using for team name.

Results from my 10-team league with the 3rd pick.

Carson Palmer, QB
Andre Johnson, WR
Calvin Johnson, WR
Adrian Peterson, RB
Clinton Portis, RB
Antonio Gates, TE
Nick Folk, K
New York Giants, DEF

BENCH
Darren McFadden, RB
Brett Favre, QB
Owen Daniels, TE
Laveranues Coles, WR
Selvin Young, RB
Ted Ginn Jr., WR

[~Dan~]

I'm not high on Gates (injury + a lot of other good TEs) Palmer (inconsistent, threw 6 TD in one game and didn't get much near the end of season) Portis (I always get the feeling he'll be hurt somehow)

Anyways I did my second draft:

Ben Roethlisberger QB
Brian Westbrook RB
Selving Young RB
Aquan Boldin WR
Braylon Edwards WR
Marques Colston WR
Donald Lee TE
Patriots D/ST
Jeff Reed K

Bench
Calvin Johnson WR
Donald Driver WR
Kevin Smith RB
Rashard Mendenhall RB
David Gerrard QB
Sidney Rice WR
Ben Utecht TE

BTW why don't we have both a draft style league and an auction style league?

[Demitre]

I would like to make a league too, but has to be live drafting.. It's one the the best part of the experience.

Recently did an auction draft, and it was hella fun.

[Crazy8]

add me in as well.
Always up for a fantasy draft. Please have it live tho. and make a voting on when to draft to check when people can do thier live draft.

[ChanceEncounter]

I personally prefer dynasty leagues with the option to trade picks. Gives a much more real "GM" feel to the game.

[~Dan~]

Yeah of course live draft, although I actually like auction leagues too...

[CrazyT]

I'm up for live draft but we gotta find a time that is suitable for everyone involved. I can make myself available on Wednesday and Thursday of next week... from 7pm - midnight... Central Standard Time.

And for those that wants to join the league, please PM me your email.

[ChanceEncounter]

Well now that there isn't a Chad Johnson anymore, is Chad Ocho Cinco available in your leagues?

[Demitre]

PM sent.

It has to be before Thursday, as that is the first game.

[CrazyT]

I will set the autodraft to go off tomorrow, Wednesday, September 3rd at 10pm CST. Please have your lineup ready by then.

Demitre, I never got any PM from you. Please resend.

[Crazy8]

pls explain this draft how it works.
will be a forum live draft? or a espn.com live draft?

[CrazyT]

It will not be a live draft since everyone will not be available at the same time.

In an autodraft, you set the players you want in a list in order of priority and if the player is available when it's your turn, the computer will auto select that player for you.
