The end of July I will start putting toghter a Fantasy Football League. I will need 9 others to join, I would it to be all DMF Foke. [moto]
Let me know what you think..
League with be with yahoo fantasy sports.
M aka Plumber [thumbsup]
We did one last year. I'm in.
of course the goofball from Ohio has to enter a fantasy league........ ;D
I don't follow football close enough, but come October maybe we could get a fantasy hockey league going?
im down for both!
One thing I've learned... If you want to lose friends, fantasy football is a great way to go about it...
Some people take this stuff too seriously, so I avoid it.
Last place gets you your money back... SO SUE ME if i make a great trade for Michael Vick to ensure my last place 'victory'...
I was comish of the DMF league last year so of course I am in. Even made it to the championship game where I was handily schooled hehe.
the no pressure DMF FF league is fun, provided that everyone keeps playing all season.
Perfect.. So I will set up the season, and post up the league rules/points scale. It will be a live draft on a Sunday afternoon..
Also we have any clue about a league name? Can we do a money league? Paypal?
Let me know .. Thanks guys..

Check with ZLTFUL first. He's set one up the last two years, so maybe we can just use that one again, instead of starting over??

i guess he just posted this in our section.....figured it would be better out here....
i guess im doing this too...
[laugh] since i have never played, probably get my ass handed to me [laugh]...
research...where is that damn research button
I'm in if it's for bragging rights only. If we're putting money on the line, I'm out. And yes, I follow football. I even won Pig Skin Pick 'Em one year against a bunch of male engineers who thought they were all that. ;D Of course, they threatened to kick me out if I won again... >:(
Yeah, no pay for me either.
I'm in two other pay leagues with live drafts and pay per transactions. I like having the DMF league last year because there was way less pressure for it.

ya it wont be for money....
This one will be a free beeeeee...
Jump in already..
I'm in.
I was the first one to sign up besides MP. [cheeky]
Anyway, I am in...I don't know if a live draft will work...one thing you have to consider is the huge disparity between locations for folks. I just did auto draft the last 2 seasons for simplicities sake...other than that, things look good.
Looking forward to defensive player scoring...never done that before.
I was just hoping that if i picked a weekend that it might work. So Ill do as everyone else wants.. Live draft is alot of fun plus if you cant show you can always go through and auto pick who you want.. When we get everyone toghter I will post up and see if it will work..
Defensive players are alot of fun.. :)
Cant wait.. Loads of fun..

LOL.. So we didn't have the league full in time to do a live draft today.. So its now set too tomorrow night at 8pm.. Sorry..
M
well for a first week that was pretty good ;D
bah.
im excited, my first fantasy game, and not to shabby to start...except i would have done better if i would have had ochocinco in and not breaston...didnt know he wasnt playing til we didnt see him on the field... :P
I agree, I like how my week turned out. 3-1 this week in my leagues. ;D
I'm not going to mention the hosed scoring...I mean T Gonz SHOULD have gotten me 30+ points while Peyton only scored 9. [roll]
And yeah, fumbles should be rewarded with 2 points. [roll]
Never understood why people don't just take the suggested scoring from Yahoo...especially if they haven't run a league before.
WTF... As you can go look in my yahoo profile I have been playing for 6 + years. Sorry this isnt your panzy ass Default yahoo league settings.. Yes I understand you have ran a league for the past couple years, but I gave everyone a heads up about the scoring.. I have had these league settings for 2 years, and this is a Free League.. Its easy.. PPR League+return yards= Is more challenging. Plus there will always be extra people on the waivers all times.. For example Andre Caldwell is a fourth string guy who does returns and won a game for Monsters this week. Its these small no name guys that you need spend that extra 5 mins and look up..
Sorry if you dont like it..

I think the issue with that type of scoring (and I will admit that I paid no attention to it) is that for this type of a group, it, quite frankly, isn't the best choice. And by that I mean that this is a pretty casual FF league for FUN.

So for the last 6+ years, you have scored fumbles as positives?
Doesn't even warrant the time it takes to type a response.
I'll clear my roster so I can be the league bye week. Enjoy the game.
Yes a fumble that your player lost and your team recovers back you would get points.. If you fumbled the ball and the other team recovered you would lose points.. Seems simple to me..
Fumbles 2
Fumbles Lost -2
No worries here if you choose not to play..

Seriously, it's cool if people want to quit after the first week? :-\
For me, this league is just for fun. No money, no stress, no whatever. As such, I'm not going to spend the time researching players, trying to find that one guy who is going to (hopefully) get me a buttload of points based on the way the league is set up.
But whatever, you're the commish.
In football, a fumble is a negative whether your team recovers it or not. Ever play HS or college ball? Fumble the ball and even if your team recovers it, your coach is chewing you a new asshole.
The scoring is idiotic. It has nothing to do with tough or being a pansy or wtf ever adjective or adverb you want to throw my way. Between myself and our office, we have about 40 different leagues represented and not a single one of them have EVER heard of positive scoring for a fumble of any kind. It's simply assinine. End of discussion. Enjoy your league, boss masta man. Bet this is growing your e-peen by leaps and bounds huh?
fumbles reward points?
[laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]
That so backasswards.
So you reward a player for sucking?
And even better...a running back fumbles 3 times in a game and is awarded as many points as scoring a touchdown.
Do you think his coach is sharing his elation? [roll]

And if Jud gets it, it's WAY make the beast with two backsed up. Lol.

That makes no sense.
That guy got points for sucking the big one.
3 fumbles in a game?
I sometimes wish pro athletes were paid strictly on commission based off performance.

That's the truth. I've been in some leagues in the past. You could imagine I sucked.
I haven't been able to watch games all day since we have been in a car but........
has anyone scored some good points off fumbles?
