Fantasy football

I did a search and as near as I can tell there isn’t a fantasy football league set up yet this year, and yahoo looks ready to go. So I figure I might as well get the ball rolling. I didn’t set up a league yet because I believe on yahoo you have to pick the time of the draft at registration and I figured we might as well try to hash out a time when as many people can make the draft as possible rather than randomly picking one now :slight_smile:

Any night of the week except thursday is good for me.

P.S. All posters are welcome, no matter how new, and if I remeber correctly we had at least three different leagues last year.

P.P.S. In my experience 12 or 14 team leagues work the best, You don’t have a full set of all pros on every team, but if there is an injury you still have a chance to get a starter to replace them.

I’m in this year, and I’ve talked quite a but with Osip over the off season…we’re both drooling waiting for September. I’d imagine he’s in also.

Tuesday and Thursday nights are typically bad for me. 12 team league sounds good…recently drafted in a 16 team league for the first time. Tough to do!

Count me in if there’s room. My teams are usually an all or nothing prospect. I either win the league or take second, or my pathetic mess of injured has-beens and never-weres is out of contention after 2 weeks.
Hmmm…which will it be this year?

Count me in.

I’m interested in joining, too.

Any day of the week, after 7:00 PM, is fine.

I’ve never done an online draft. How does it work?

Ok if your wanting a non-live draft league. I have one set up already :slight_smile: It is on Yahoo.
the League ID# is 52830 and
the Password is Adams

The way it works is each coach sets up his pre-rankings and on draft day the puter does all the drafting for everyone.

an autodraft is fun… we did it last year and while it looks like a crap shoot in regards to players everyone ended up reasonably happy by seasons end.

Yeah, the autodraft is a lot of fun, because a) you can get people to play who are just casual fans at best, and you can beat the tar outta them and b) everyone has an equal chance of getting good players at the outset - what determines victory, usually, is how you manage them.

Hm, count me in, wolfman. Most evenings are perfectly ok with me, too.

The Ravishing Roses have now joined the league, along with four others.

Remind me to tell you about my “Stud Rookie QB” theory…

ok I shall bite what is your “Stud rookie QB” theory?

Mine is they do not exisit.

Please elaborate Albert :slight_smile:

My “Stud Rookie QB Theory” is that all teams should draft those rookie QBs as soon as possible, leaving the good players open for me.

:smiley:

It’s even better for my team than using cheatsheets found in Fantasy Football magazines printed in May.

I hope everyone in the league gets wind of this.

Man, you guys filled up quick :frowning:

I’m already in another Yahoo! league, it’d be tough to balance the two. And I’m not a fan of the autodraft.

Filled up already? Oh well, I have at least three money leagues that I have to keep track of anyway…

nah not filled up (last time I checked) still had 4 slots open on that one.

to repeat myself

It is on Yahoo.
the League ID# is 52830 and
the Password is Adams

anyone is welcome to join until the slots are full.

OK, I’m in, hopefully we can fill it up soon

Well, I didn’t fare especially well in the SDMB Fantasy Hockey league(I was decidedly middle of the pack), So I might as well give this one a go if there is still space left.

I am now locked and loaded as well.

I’m new at this Yahoo stuff. Is there a specific date and time when the draft will take place? And do I have to do anything after I set up my top 120 draft choices in the automated draft?

Is the league full? cause I’d like to get in…

To answer my own question…

The autodraft starts on 5 August 2002 (Monday). I don’t know the exact time.

Thanks, Osip!

I sure hope nobody drafts my super-stud sleeper Skip Hicks.
