Fantasy Football

[Raistlin]

It's that time again: NFL and fantasy football season. I have started the league for this year on Yahoo and people can start joining. Post here if you're interested. Please note that we're interested in people who will pay attention throughout the season.

Right now there's only one league with a max of 14 teams. If there's enough interest I can create another league. Long-time returning members will have priority for the first league, but there will be more than likely be openings.

Are you ready for some football?

[The Captain]

After how terrible my baseball team has been, I am certainly ready for some football.


Take care all.

[Raistlin]

There's 8 teams signed up now for 14 slots. There will probably be a couple late-coming oldbies, but I don't think there's many consistent players left, so there will be at least a couple of open slots in this league. If you know football and are willing to stick around for the full season and at least try to compete, post as such in this thread. Head-to-head fantasy football is a bit more luck-based than other fantasy sports, so anyone can win (as shown by Del, a long time player, going 4-10 for last place last year... well, maybe he just sucks ).

[El Bandito]

Los Banditos would love to compete for the EoFF title again this year.

Hopefully half my team doesn't get injured again.

I'd be interested in taking part, since none of my friends care enough about the NFL to join a league with me. I've only been following the sport for a couple of years, so my team will probably get embarrassed every week, but hey, every league needs one of those. I think I know enough to hold my own, but it's cool if you want someone more experienced to make things more competitive. Just thought I'd declare my interest, anyway.

As long as you try with at least minimal effort (which means logging in at least once per week and not trading your whole team away for nothing), I for one would be fine with you. If you can manage that, I'll send you the league info for you to sign up. We have 9 teams now (would be 10 with you), and I think we've about run out of the regular players. A few newbies are fine, and helps to keep the league filled and fresh.

[Del Murder]

I definitely suck more at football than baseball. Football is a lot more about luck, too.

I might let Yahoo autodraft my team this year.

I am down. I learned a lot during last years draft and I plan to be a better....guy this year =D

SIGN ME UP!

[CloudDragon]

Wes there better be a spot left for me. This thing is my only consistent link back to EoFF anymore.

Sign me up!

[VorpalCyberWolf]

As dissatisfied as I have been with a good lineup for my baseball team, I just can't wait to see how the football season falls apart ^^

Sign me up!

Hah, I just mentioned you in the league.

[Cz]

I'm signed up. Thanks for letting me join in, guys. You can start exploiting my naivety immediately.

Ok, so you need to pick a Kicker and a Defense within the first, say, 5 or 6 rounds. I hear Nate Kaeding and Chicago defense are pretty good. Right, ed? (also you need two kickers overall)

[edczxcvbnm]

You damn right! The defense and the kicker both came through for me in a close game or two ;D

[escobert]

I'm in!
