It's almost football season, so it's about time for us to set up an NS fantasy football league. I like Yahoo Fantasy Sports the best, so I'll be setting up an NS fantasy football league for those who are interested. This thread is for those interested to express said interest, and for those who do get involved to discuss the set up of the league. I believe Yahoo allows up to 12 teams, so I guess the first 11 people to TG me with their e-mail address will get in. Once the league is filled, then we can discuss the point values and such.

Also, I have another league I am involved in with two open slots, so if anyone's interested in playing another league with me and my buddies, shoot me a TG with your e-mail for that league, as well.

Proper football or American "football"?

Proper football or American "football"?

As proper football seasons have already begun and American football begins in September, I believe you are capable of figuring it out.

Ahem. It appears there can be up to 20 teams. Not sure what that will do for the dilution of the talent pool, though.

:p I was actually going to ask you!

Once more people express interest, I'll figure out stats and stuff. Any suggestions?

Count me in!

This is how I have the positions set up:

QB, QB, WR, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, TE, W/R, K, DEF, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN

And here's how the scoring goes:

Completions (.5)
Passing Yards (50 yards per point)
Passing Touchdowns (6)
Interceptions (-3)
Sacks (-1)
Rushing Yards (15 yards per point)
Rushing Touchdowns (6)
Receptions (.5)
Reception Yards (20 yards per point)
Reception Touchdowns (6)
Return Touchdowns (6)
2-Point Conversions (2)
Fumbles Lost (-3)
Offensive Fumble Return TD (6)
Field Goals 0-19 Yards (3)
Field Goals 20-29 Yards (3)
Field Goals 30-39 Yards (3)
Field Goals 40-49 Yards (4)
Field Goals 50+ Yards (5)
Point After Attempt Made (1)
Point After Attempt Missed (-4)
Sack (1)
Interception (3)
Fumble Recovery (3)
Touchdown (6)
Safety (6)
Block Kick (2)
Kickoff and Punt Return Touchdowns (6)
Points Allowed 0 points (10)
Points Allowed 1-6 points (7)
Points Allowed 7-13 points (4)
Points Allowed 14-20 points (1)
Points Allowed 21-27 points (0)
Points Allowed 28-34 points (-1)
Points Allowed 35+ points (-4)

What do those involved think?

Count me in!

Shoot me a TG with an e-mail address, sir.

No one is interested?

Bump.

It looks interesting!

Good thing the games got previous season stats available.

Sdaeriji - I have sent you a TG. :)

I want in! :) Although, I don't know how to play 'American football'. :p

We started something similar at a forum I go to a few weeks ago, so I already know the basics of starting a team.

This is how I have the positions set up:


What about LB, SS, TE, Guards, etc?

Can you not set it up so that we have a full lineup, both offensive and defensive?

What about LB, SS, TE, Guards, etc?

Can you not set it up so that we have a full lineup, both offensive and defensive?

The only other roster categories I can add are Defensive Player, Defensive Lineman, and Defensive Back. I do have two TEs for roster categories. I just feel that defensive players don't have huge stat lines, and it would just make managing the team more complicated than necessary. What does everyone else think?

The stat categories I can add for those players are:

Tackle Solo (Tack Solo)
Tackle Assist (Tack Ast)
Sack (Sack)
Interception (Int)
Fumble Force (Fum Force)
Fumble Recovery (Fum Rec)
Touchdown (TD)
Safety (Safe)
Pass Defended (Pass Def)
Block Kick (Blk Kick)

Bump, even though I can't get my TGs right now. :(

Sdaeriji - I have sent you a TG. :)

Unfortunately, I did not get it because of the server problems. I've only got TGs from Harlesburg, so if anyone else sent me one, you have to resend it. Sorry. :(

Bump for more exposure.

Bump again, but if I don't get more people interested, I'm just going to call the whole thing off. :(

I might get some more people.

You got a TG Sdaeriji!

Will this be for fun or money?

Will this be for fun or money?

Just for fun.

You and Harlesburg's friend have TGs.

Still waiting for e-mail addresses from Keruvalia, Zwange, and Delator.

And anyone else interested.

TG sent!

(and bump)

(and +1)

Count me in (TG sent).

Made my team.. now I'm ready to draft! It told me -- Your commissioner must enter your offline draft results and hit the 'Begin Season' button in order for your league to begin play -- So do I start writing down who I want for the positions and bench.. or do we have to bid on them or something? Nvm.. I'll wait til we get the League filled. This will be fun! :)

I'm not sure about the draft yet. I wanted to ask people involved. Did we want to do an online draft or an offline draft?

We could do it on the NS forums...

Btw, I sent you my email address.

I sent you a new TG Sdaeriji. :)

Will this be for fun or money?
Ill be more than Happy to take your money! :p

I'm gonna BUMP this quick before I log off for the day... :)

Im pretty sure i cant call them a friend more of an aquaintance(sp)

We've got five people signed up so far. I believe it's me, Harlesburg, Naturality, Deleuze, and Melkor. I've sent Keruvalia and Delator invites, as well as Harlesburg's acquaintance. That, hopefully, will be 8 teams, which is enough to start a league. Of course, others are more than welcome to join, but if no one else does, an 8 team league is enough to run with. We'll have to discuss the draft sometime, too.

Doing an offline draft here is the best idea, I think. I doubt, considering how spread out we all are, that a live draft would be feasible, and I can speak from experience that the autopick draft sucks, and you usually end up overloaded in one or two positions and hopelessly lacking in another. What does everyone else think?

Bump for more exposure. :D

How would an online draft work as opposed to an offline one, exactly?

How would an online draft work as opposed to an offline one, exactly?

We would use the Yahoo draft system. We'd all sign on at the same time and make our picks in real time, just like the regular NFL draft. An offline one we could do here on the forum, and I would just submit the results. The benefit of the offline draft is that we can do it on our own schedule rather than when Yahoo wants us to. If people can't stay for the whole thing they can leave and come back, and we can take several days if we want as opposed to the short amount of time Yahoo provides. And, since some players are halfway across the world, they're not screwed into having to be awake at a ridiculous hour to participate in the draft with us.

Well you know everyones going to want Manning! :p
Yeah thats right im talking about Eli! :rolleyes:


I asked Potaria if they wanted to join seeing as they were spouting off about how Great The Steelers are/were.

With the Autopick draft is that where we pick out top 25 players?

There was a really awesome Rugby League(not Union) game called www.virtualnrl.com and basically you had to pick a minimum of 20 players and a maximum of 25 and of these a certain amount had to be in each position.

It really rocked.

On it youd get 5 pics as would the other 13 teams and you could pick anyone
from the list.
It was live in the sense that the draft would open and you would have 2 days to make 5 picks then those players would be locked in and another 3 could be picked after that the remaining 17 would be a free for all.

On another.
youd rank the 125 players you wanted as a forward and 125 as a back as would the other 13 teams in your competition league and the person who had the highest rank on their list would get them if their was a tie which is highly unlikely obviously someone misses out...

I completely agree. I saw the autodraft option, and all I could think of was "So what if I get 1 RB and 7 WRs?"

I also agree we should do the draft here, perhaps in a new, seperate thread. That way we don't have the real-time issue that Yahoo's draft system has.

Do we have any idea when we might start drafting?

I dont see how it helps.

I was thinking we'd start the draft on Saturday or something. I want to give myself some more time. We only have six teams participating. I thought for sure there'd be more people interested, but I guess not. I would like to get the league up to 8 teams, ideally. I assume you are the Nutsack Punchers? Keruvalia still has not signed up. That would be seven.

Come on people, FOOTBALL! :D

I dont see how it helps.

If we do a real time draft here, then you can change your draft order as other players get drafted. If we do the autopick system, then Yahoo just goes through your ranking list and drafts the top player not yet selected. It means you could end up with a ton of guys in one position and none in another. Believe me; it sucks. Last season I ended up with like 7 great wide recievers and not a single good RB all season.

I assume you are the Nutsack Punchers? Keruvalia still has not signed up.

I am the Nutsack Punchers. :)

I am the Nutsack Punchers. :)

Oh. Then who is who?

The Three B's - Me
Nutsack Punchers - Keruvalia
Harlesburg Herenvolk - Harlesburg
Natural Sackers - Naturality (I think)
Deleuzers - Deleuze
The Devestators - ???

I know Melkor Unchained and Delator said they'd sign up, so who's slacking off here?

Not too late for me to get in on this, is it?

Not too late for me to get in on this, is it?

Not at all. Send me a TG with your e-mail address and I'll fire off an invite. :)

Done.

Done.

An invitation has been sent.

For the record, whichever draft we do, there will be 18 rounds.

Also, I upped the point values for rushing yards, receptions, and recieving yards, to make quarterbacks less dominating. I was looking at the fantasy points from last season and Joey Harrington was more valuable than LaDainian Tomlinson, and felt that wasn't right.

Right so ther will be an ordering to the way people pick.
Say in alphabetical order or by when people signed up?

I like the idea of restricting the roll of a Quarteback.
Just means guys like Vick and McNair might get more points with runs???

Im gonna have to do some homework. :)

I can make Yahoo do it randomly. I figure that's best.

It's not so much restricting the QB as it is increasing the RB and WRs. QBs were way overrated with the stats I was using. Hopefully this will make it a little more even. The QB should be the most important player on your team, but not that much more than the others.

I am "The Devestators"

Just to clear things up. :)

Yo soy "Capitalist Pig-Dogs."

Yep, that's me.

So Melkor's slacking, then?

C'mon. We've got seven people. Just one more would be great. C'mon people!

In that case...

BUMP!!!

I only just read my telegrams :eek: I'm sending a TG now!

Ah ok Quarterbacks are still worth something.

Saves me saying you wernt going to play because you were involved in another.

Okay, we need to have an even amount of teams in the league for it to let us play, so we'll either stop at 8 or, if two more people express interest, go to 10.

Personally, I like the live draft. We did that with the NS baseball league. Makes it way more interesting.

Letting Yahoo just pick for us won't give us our desired teams or give us the spirited fun of watching someone else snatch the person we were gonna take out next time around. :D It's "fantasy" football, not "let's see how well Yahoo can pick our team for us" football.

Live draft! Live draft!

Live draft! Live draft!

Well that's why I figured we'd do a draft here in NationStates. It allows us more time than the Yahoo live draft, and people like Harlesburg, who's in New Zealand, doesn't have to be awake at an assinine time just to participate. I can submit the draft results here into our league. The logistics might be a little odd, but I think it would work out.

Let's take a vote. What kind of draft should we have? A live draft on Yahoo, an offline draft here, or the autopick draft on Yahoo?

Hrmmm ... good point about Harlesburg. Of course, you don't have to be present to participate in a live vote. You can set your rankings ahead of time and have Yahoo do it for you.

Of course an offline draft here would be a logistical nightmare, but it could work.

Add a poll to the thread (thread options) and that'll take care of the vote.

Wow whats this about people like Harlesburg???
The next 3 days i can be on from 3 or 4 hours before now till about now.
Seeing as you two are awake(I have no idea what the time is overthere/s)this time should be fine for sorting stuff out however im going now.

It's a quarter to 8 am where I'm at. Of course, school's back in session, so I'm up at 6 am to breakfast the kids and such.

Yeah, it's 20 past 9am here. I'm only up because I have a job interview shortly. It's like 6am on the west coast.

I'd much prefer a live draft, and I'm willing to wake up early or stay up late for it. Trying to draft in a thread on NS would make it too easy for us to screw up by drafting the same player twice. I've seen it happen before, and it's not pretty.

Yeah, the logistics for an offline draft have been warping my mind. I think a live draft would be easier, personally. The only problem is that the autopick system for Yahoo is godawful (trust me; I know), so anyone who couldn't make the online draft would likely get screwed for players.

Okay, we still have seven people. Zwange and Melkor Unchained still haven't signed up, as far as I can tell. Trexia has expressed interest as well. That would make 10, assuming they all sign up. Yahoo won't allow an odd number of teams, though, so I don't want to get screwed with having 7 or 9 people sign up. If we end up with an odd number of players with only a few days left, I'm going to make a junk team to fill the extra spot. They'll draft all crappy backups and won't start anybody. A free win for whoever plays them? It kind of stinks to have to do that, but the way I see it, it's better to have a junk team for everyone to beat up on than to have to kill the league because we have an odd number of teams. Is that okay with everyone?

Maybe our best recourse then is to post the times we'll be available, and determine from those when to have our draft. I, for one, am good from now until the 11th or 12th, any hour at any day of the week with the following exceptions:

1) 4:15-5:15 tomorrow. That's when my public league draft is, and trying to conduct two drafts simultaneously might kill me.
2) Anytime before noon on Sunday. Church.

All my other commitments for the rest of the summer are flexible.

Okay, anyone else have any problems with certain times for the draft?

And would one of either Trexia, Zwange or Melkor just sign up so we can actually play the league....

Alright, we have a league! Now we need a draft before the Thursday night game. Are there any problem times for anyone, or can I just pick a time and have it be alright with everyone?

I'm available from 10:30 am through 10pm (EST) M-F. Can be on later tonight and earlier tomorrow morning if need be.

Well, I have to say I would prefer to do the draft here on NS. I'm starting school next week, and my time will be severly limited.

I can be online any night after 11pm CST, and once I finalize my schedule, I can probably be online in the evenings.

I'll know more by Tuesday.

cough.

I aint going to be around for another 51/2 hrs and thats at the earliest latest would be 22.
In any case i definatly want McNair.

I would like to do the draft this Wednesday at around 8pm EST. How does this work for people?

I would like to do the draft this Wednesday at around 8pm EST. How does this work for people?

Works for me.

Unfortunately, the only times we can do a live draft before Thursday night's game are Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday at 9am, 10am, 11am, 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, and Thursday also at 3pm. I've tentatively scheduled the draft for Thursday at 3pm, until I hear back from more people. Unfortunately, this is what happens because we couldn't fill the league for so long. :(

I can't be there for the draft, I've got a real football game; ironic, no? (go DHS Pioneers) Do I need to be there?

I can't be there for the draft, I've got a real football game; ironic, no? (go DHS Pioneers) Do I need to be there?

Nice. I wish I could play a real football game again.

No, you do not have to be there. You can let the system draft for you. You can either let it use the pre-rankings for players or you can make your own draft card that it will follow. It's under the "My Team" tab, in the box with the countdown timer, it should say "Pre-Draft Player Rankings." You can use that to change how you want the system to draft for you.

I think Thursday at 3pm will work for me, but I'm thinking I might want to set my draft order just in case.

As I said, I'll know more on Tuesday.

Understandable. I am sorry about this, but we couldn't even begin the draft until we had an 8th team.

Dude thats like 2 in the morning......

Dude thats like 2 in the morning......

Yeah, we can't have one then, anyway. I've set it for Thursday at 3pm EST. That's like 9pm for you, right?

Yeah, we can't have one then, anyway. I've set it for Thursday at 3pm EST. That's like 9pm for you, right?
um i think 2 is 8 so yeah.
It makes sense.
Nothing's going on then.

I'm alright with Thursday at 3.

Okay, well, everyone who does plan on participating in the live draft, go to the league page, and test your system (http://drafttester.fantasysports.yahoo.com/porttester/client/testdraft.html?id=nfl). The draft program is some sort of Java applet that you may not have automatically on your computer. It's really simple and easy to do, and it'll let you know if you can run the draft, and if not, how to download the applet so you can.

Er actually i thought it was weird thats 9 in the morning not night so ill skip the draft and take my chances.

I'm now 95% certain that Thursday at 3pm will work for me, and I'll know 100% by the end of the day.

That is Eastern time, correct?

Er actually i thought it was weird thats 9 in the morning not night so ill skip the draft and take my chances.

Really? That sucks. That's actually the most reasonable time for you, too. All the other ones are just earlier and earlier in the morning for you. I guess Yahoo doesn't think too many New Zealanders will be playing in their leagues.

It is indeed EST.

To Zwange and Melkor:

You've got until Thursday morning EST time to sign up, or you won't be able to play. Once the draft is locked in, no more teams can be added.

Er, what's the group name?

OK...I'm all set. Thursday at 3.

Now I just have to make sure that I'm all set up properly. :p

Well i can get up at earleir times i mean i have to leave for work at to 2 7.


But if i had players that others wanted and they had some i needed is the option of a trade available?
In any case i havent seen a game for a year and a half so im going to be the whipping boy anyways.
Bloody Broncos Denying the Legend another Season.

So does Yahoo have set times for when the drafts can be run?

Yeah, Yahoo has set times for drafts, and yes, you can do trades. The times Yahoo offers are 10am-3pm EST.

Does that time include for trades?

Does that time include for trades?

No no, once the draft is over you can make trades any time. They are subject to a league veto, so if enough people think it's a ridiculously one-sided trade (and maybe a little under the tableness), they can veto it. I think you need 1/3 of the league to veto a trade for it to be cancelled.

Sdaeriji, will we actually be starting two quarterbacks every week? That seems a little... irregular.

The Draft is in 26 hours right?

And we have a league!

Yeah, I did that so you don't get screwed over if your only starting QB has a horrendous game, since QBs count for so many points.

How did the draft go what was the Drafting order?

I'm gonna get owned with my team, but no matter will still be fun. Will give some initiative to watch some games. I use to keep up with football somewhat, but haven't in the past few years.

You shall get no Sacks. :)
I seriously regret picking Dallas as My first pick Defence. :p

I had no idea who to pick as mine..after I got to the draft I searched "best NFL defense 2005". The first one I saw not taken already I chose .. which was Washington. I looked over your team afterwards, I think you'll do fine. It's all in fun. :)

Oh and doh! I only picked one defense .. am I screwed? lol That was my first Fantasy Football thing. Oh well.

David Carr (Houston Texans)- I never realised he was palying again...

Starting Lineup:

QB: Brett Favre (Packers)
QB: Chad Pennington (NY Jets)

WR: Marvin Harrison (Colts)
WR: Drew Bennett (Titans)
WR: Muhsin Muhammad (Bears) - a real gamble, but I think it will pay off!

Manager's Corner: I think it's gonna be a great season and I believe we have a bid for the playoffs this year. We're definately going to be a solid team with a solid bench. We're looking forward to a season full of some powerhouse football!

You like Blacks? :rolleyes:

Damn you for having Bettis! :gundge:

(Notice a trend?)

I do. Your quarterbacks aren't very good. :p

Well I do seem to recall a certain rookie going to the AFC Championship after going 15-0. Also there was also one who went to the NFC Championship. Now if you can find me a team with both Tom Brady and Donovan McNabb, I'd say that I have the best team of QBs in this league.

Perhaps, but I had both last year on my fantasy football team, and they don't put up fantasy numbers. Fantasy football is all about stats and numbers.
