FTR Fantasy Football League! (UPDATED WITH POLL)

[DoGGz]

I am going to set up a Fantasy Football league for FTR if there is interest. The league will be at Yahoo Games, as they offer, by far, the best free leagues on the net.

If there is interest I will set one up, within a week. It will be a live draft, so I will need to find a time that everyone will be able to make it. It will probably be early or late, so our friends over the pond can join in. I'm not sure on league size, but it will be at LEAST 10 players.

Post here if you want to play and what draft times are good.

UPDATE: We will be playing at EA Sports realgenius was kind enough to donate the league he got over there for free. This is over a 100$ gift. We will be setting it up as soon as we have time and date. We will cap teams at 14. This is so people aren't stuck with backup-backup running backs, but not everyone has all the best players in the league.

[Muxy]

This could be cool, I am in, maybe put up 5-10 bucks on a wager.

[a500lbgorilla]

Do an auto draft and post the scoring system and I'll probably do it.

[Muxy]

No live draft is better.

[a500lbgorilla]

No live draft is better.

It's better but gonna be impossible to line everyone up for.

-'rilla

[DoGGz]

Live draft.

At Yahoo you can rank your players so it will auto draft you if you can't make it.

Real football, or your shitty American shit?

[Muxy]

The shitty american kind.

Not your wankerish footy

[stunt]

im down for that...but i wouldnt have any money to wager on it tho. im moving into a new apartment and need to set shit up, and changing jobs is gonna leave me short on cash for a few weeks

[Legendash]

Just put me down for the whole chelsea squad, i'll clean up. Oh and i want Dudek too

[tdmlb24]

I'm in whether it be free or for money.

Dudek over Cech... are you drunk?! :P

[tdmlb24]

Let's put 5 or 10 dollars in this and transfer it by Stars

[a500lbgorilla]

If we're gonna do it for money, make it something worth my time. If not, do it for something else.

-'rilla

[DoGGz]

I'm debating a small prize pool linked into poker.

Dman> This site is AMERICAN so when i'm talking about FOOTBALL I mean FOOTBALL, not SOCCER... stop being dumb. gg nh

[TylerK]

Can I just take all the patriots and the rest of you can have all the other stiffs y/n

[Pizzaman]

I would definitely be into this!!! Sign me up.

[Armstrong]

Im interested in $$ or no $$. I'm a low roller tho, keep it in mind ^_^

[realgenius]

I'm totally in for Fantasy Football. I do think some money should be involved though, even if it's $5-$10. Maybe FTR can throw in some swank gear for prizes too. While I would love to have a live draft it's very hard to get that many people together and it can alienate people. If you take the time to rank your players predraft, you can do alright for yourself.

[DoGGz]

DETAILS -

Draft will be MID AUGUST. This will aloow enoug time for trading, but also allow you to assess players during camp.

People who are interested - I need to know likely times you could draft. I am thinking Weekday Evening. This will allow people who work to still be there. I will make the league in a few days, and those who can/want to play can. If you won't be able to make the draft but are ok with auto, then you are more then welcome.

Ok, Input?

[Muxy]

Doggz I will help you organize this, i could set up a party account to take the transfers of money. Since they allow smal fee transfers. At party skins its a min of 50.

I say we get 10 guys at 10 bucks a peice. You are not going broke. Winner takes all?

Keep in touch.

[a500lbgorilla]

I'm in. Tell me how to sign up.

-'rilla

[DoGGz]

Well, I've thought of the idea of a buyin and a prize. I've had mixed responces for this. Maybe I can get some more thoughts here.

[a500lbgorilla]

Like I said, it'll just be a bother getting all the money together and it's of an ammount that doesnt even entertain me. So just do away with the whole thing.

We'll just have to figure something else out to keep people active late. But if you have a last place team 7 weeks into the season, you're gonna stop with 5 bucks on the line or not. I think we just have to live with it.

-'rilla

[realgenius]

Good Point 'rillla. You get teams like that in every league though. If you're gonna have the draft on a wednesday, make it post Gauntlet, unless the Gauntlet will be over by then, not sure.

[tdmlb24]

By Stars there is no transfer minimum. Lets do a $10 one and transfer all the money through Stars.

[a500lbgorilla]

I have no money on stars.

-'rilla

[Muxy]

I can set this up tonight. If people are intertest but I will be doing a 10 fee. Maybe we can get enough. Let me check yahoo.

[nomofoshobro]

i am interested.

[DoGGz]

I need to know what time you all would like to draft. Please post good times that you would be availible.

Thanks

[ensign_lee]

Does it have to be on yahoo? Personally, I hate their draft interface.

Unless you know another site to draft at that is free.

[Jeebus Kliest]

If there is room I am definitely interested

[tdmlb24]

Whether it is you or Muxy lets just get this started.

Muxy already has the league and the account on Stars and Party for everyone to transfer to.

Who cares who the commish is

[DoGGz]

Right but the draft time Muxy has is terrible for most of us

[Muxy]

I am re schedule the draft it is a simple easy option change

Please let me know a better time doggz.

Staturdays are open people arcross the pong could get in.

[Muxy]

This is sorted by date.

Give me a time and I will give you an updated list.

[realgenius]

Any saturday would be good, hopefully late July, better early August so we can get a feel for what the actual NFL rosters will look like, and we can avoid drafting people who get injured early on in training camp. So I vote for any Saturday evening.

[Muxy]

August 6th has every time slot available but we dont get to see any pre season. And all weekeds after tht are taken.

Unless people don't mind starting until week 3.

[Pizzaman]

August 6 sounds goot to me.

[a500lbgorilla]

Sure that's cool.

Someone wanna spot "500lbgorilla" $2.48? It's been awhile since I've used pokerstars and I still don't have neteller.

-'rilla

[Muxy]

Time? This is the selection of time on August 6th

[a500lbgorilla]

Any time after 5 EST

-'rilla

[journey075]

Sure that's cool.

get a job.




i would but i dont have any money on stars.

NFL.com is free. THat's where I played last year.

[kling]

I would like to get in on this.

[a500lbgorilla]

Yah, give us the details.

-'rilla

[realgenius]

Another suggestion, is using EA SPorts fanatsy football, it's usually a pay service, but I can have a free league due to my reserving Madden 2006. I played in a EA league last year and it was very cool. The stats and everything it kept for the league were sweet, and you can actually watch your team's scoring LIVE. I'm not trying to steal anyone's thunder, just letting you know it's an option.

[ensign_lee]

yeah. That's what I always hated about "free" yahoo fantasy football. No live stats.

It just makes it so much more fun.

[tdmlb24]

Muxy, didn't you already have everything to get it started.

Are we still having the league because none of the founders have been saying anything about it recently?

[a500lbgorilla]

Just start one some where. I dont care.

-'rilla

[DoGGz]

I'm looking at the NFL league possibility. I'd like to know about the EA Sports league that is offered. Live stats are good.

I haven't seen muxy

[tdmlb24]

Yahoo has the best draft style and everything else and it would be easier for everyone probably.

[DoGGz]

I've honestly never seen NFL.com's

[realgenius]

The EA Sports one is just like all of the others, being that its Web based, and just as easy to use, but with more League Stats, and Live Scoring. Doggz I'll PM you with a place for you to get more details.

[mgobluefb]

I'm in. Reserve me a spot. I'm in. I'm in.
