I'm in!

I lost money on a league last year, but I think I was probably not competitive with "Just give me whomever. . "

This is my first year doing this.  I'm excited, but somewhat confused.  Can somebody help me?
Title: Re: Fantasy Football 2009
Post by: Phatty on August 12, 2009, 11:52:35 AM
Sure thing!  We'll do whatever we can to help you along!  By the way, when is the draft, and is it live or auto?
Title: Re: Fantasy Football 2009
Post by: Reconsgt on August 12, 2009, 12:57:40 PM
Date and time is undecided, Live draft is prefered but we will have to decide in the next 2 weeks.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football 2009
Post by: Phatty on August 12, 2009, 02:24:25 PM
I vote Live Draft, myself!  Sunday August 30 sound good?
Title: Re: Fantasy Football 2009
Post by: Reconsgt on August 12, 2009, 03:51:56 PM
Sundays are probably the best for me as well
Title: Re: Fantasy Football 2009
Post by: Tamer on August 12, 2009, 05:33:03 PM
Yepper, I much prefer the live draft. Besides, folks that can't be there will just get the autopick or thier preffered list so its all good.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football 2009

Sounds cool.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football 2009
Post by: UnitedStatesDemocrat on August 13, 2009, 08:35:22 AM
What I really need help with is the pre-draft preferred list.  Is there a limit to the number of position players you can have.  I saw the terms, but didn't take them into meaning.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football 2009
Post by: Reconsgt on August 13, 2009, 11:01:21 AM
You have to fill your roster of starting players as described, as far as who you choose to place on your "bench" no, there is no limit as to position, just roster size. You will want backups for your starters  to compensate for bye weeks and injuries.

Yes, that is a good thing to have when Sunday comes around. I dream of big 50 inch or larger hd lcd tv.  Little dreams.

Glad to hear we are getting our slots filled up Dan.

Suggestions for draft dates,   A friday night Weekday night? time frame ,   I was thinking around 7 PM central anyday but Sept 2nd.  I have my money league draft that night
Title: Re: Fantasy Football 2009
Post by: Phatty on August 21, 2009, 07:50:42 PM
Friday night works better for me, I have softball on Wednesday nights.  I think most of our members are East coast or Central, so that should work well.  I suggest Friday, September 4th at 7pm CST
Title: Re: Fantasy Football 2009
Post by: Reconsgt on August 21, 2009, 08:09:30 PM
If there is no input otherwise,

Sept 4th at 7PM Central time it is,

We will leave it open for discussion til next Tuesday
Title: Re: Fantasy Football 2009

Should work for me. 8PM Eastern on Sept. 4th.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football 2009
Post by: UnitedStatesDemocrat on August 23, 2009, 04:19:34 PM
I had seen the draft is coming up soon.  I'm glad it happens before I go back to school. 
Title: Re: Fantasy Football 2009
Post by: Reconsgt on August 24, 2009, 11:21:22 AM
Please review the updated scorring stats

I added a couple points for the individual def player to add value to the position.
Namely int and sacks went to 3 pts each from 2.

This is not the team DEF position rather individual def players only.

DRAFT sept 4th 7 PM central time,  log in atleast 10 minutes early to ensure your system is working,.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football 2009
Post by: Tamer on August 31, 2009, 09:14:33 AM
We have only a few days left before we draft. I haven't looked to see who all joined up and am wondering if there are any slots left?
Title: Re: Fantasy Football 2009
Post by: Reconsgt on August 31, 2009, 09:20:59 AM
We have 6 teams so there are 4-6 slots open, we will run with what we have at the very least

Post by: Reconsgt on September 03, 2009, 06:20:59 AM
 Tomorrow night is the NIGHT folks.

Please test your computer, Yahoo has a test you can run to ensure you are ready for the draft, if there is an issue I will also have the chat room here open on my screen and can help if needed.

Anyone still interested you can still sign up anytime before 7PM Fraiday night.

Post by: Tamer on September 03, 2009, 09:48:24 AM
I got one guy at work to sign up and another is gonna do it before tomorrow so that will give us at least 8! The more the merrier though! I even ticked off my wife and my hunting buddy who wanted me to go up to hunting camp by being there for the live draft. I can't wait! I am so ready for football season to start.

Well, I sure had fun in last night's draft. It sure was interesting to see the great rosters folks have. I look for some really high scoring match ups this year. Am I correct in thinking that stattracker with live in game scoring is free this year?
Title: Re: Fantasy Football 2009

Who did you get, Shawn?

Adrian Peterson, Marian Barber, TJ whoseyourmomma, wes welker, philip rivers, Gonzo, etc. There are lots of great players still left! Wish I could have twisted your arm into getting a team this year! Alas, my mind control skills are getting weak.

I am under the assumption that he stat tracker is indeed free this season.

Not so fast, Tamer.  I'm mighty stacked as well, so don't go thinking you've got it locked up just yet!  Looking forward to all the Football this season, especially from my Bears who seemed to suddenly get the memo that they need quality players at key positions to win!

Post by: Reconsgt on September 19, 2009, 02:09:11 PM
A week in the books and no smack talk?   I got my but handed to me this last week so I am hoping to bounce back strong this week.

Good news as a side note, I kick royal but in my work money league, this week I have my boss as my opponent. He's a good guy that rose through the ranks with the rest of us but I still would love to lay the smack down on his newly made VIP butt
Title: Re: Fantasy Football 2009
Post by: Tamer on September 19, 2009, 04:31:07 PM
No use for smack talk for me, I only won by six points. I have some reservations about a few of my team players. I will feel a little better after seeing week two games.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football 2009
Post by: Phatty on October 04, 2009, 05:04:53 PM
2 weeks in a row, and Drew Brees fails to net me over 10 points!  BREES of all people!  My Bears D and Daniel Manning did good for me, as did Pierre Thomas.  I'm leading Reconsgt quite a bit now, but he's got the meat and potatoes of his lineup coming tonight and tomorrow, so it'll be close!
Title: Re: Fantasy Football 2009
Post by: Tamer on October 04, 2009, 05:12:49 PM
Uh, I just looked at my points, and I don't think I ever scored that high before, and I still have my QB and AP to play! Wow.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football 2009
Post by: Reconsgt on October 05, 2009, 07:24:11 PM
Well Shawn the 49ers D basically neeted you 65 points with the extra def player,  They had one hell of a game.

Pat and I are within 2 point at half time and it should be a close one. It' sbeen one of the more fun weeks for me as I am watching the Pack and then on FF.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football 2009
Post by: Phatty on October 05, 2009, 08:03:35 PM
UGG!  I think you're gonna edge me out Wayne, unless Driver starts lighting up the board!
Title: Re: Fantasy Football 2009
Post by: Reconsgt on October 06, 2009, 04:17:23 PM
It was a close game for a while. They make it fun though, rather than having a blowout.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football 2009
Post by: Phatty on November 09, 2009, 01:52:02 PM
MAN, my team cannot catch a break!  On paper, I look great, but in reality, my team is smack dab in the middle.  I'm playing Tamer this week, and I'm behind by about 38 points with Hines Ward to play tonight.  He'll have to have a monster day to pull ahead!
Title: Re: Fantasy Football 2009
Post by: UnitedStatesDemocrat on November 09, 2009, 03:04:29 PM
I forgot completely about Fantasy Football.  Sheesh, I must be behind.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football 2009
Post by: Tamer on November 09, 2009, 04:12:32 PM
Pat, it is FF and anything can happen. I dont think they are gonna run it on the Denver D tonight, gonna have to throw it! You might get 60 points! Hines Ward is thier check down guy.

Man, I got 160pts this week, enough to beat anyone in our league, except the wildmen, :(

Still, being able to trade out players has been nice.


I'm about to change my pick for best player in the league from Peyton to Chris Johnson after watching him whiz by the competition over the weekend.

WOO HOO! That'd be GREAT Shawn!

Back on track, it doesn't look like it'll matter.  USD's team, or more accurately Brandon Marshall and Chris Johnson are kicking my butt, so it looks like I'll be on the outside looking in.

Same to you Wayne. At least I didn't punk out in the first playoff like I did last year. I have really enjoyed this year. I hope we get more players next year. This really adds to my football Sunday.  I saw your team, I don't like my chances much now. Still, any given Sunday. I am gonna give you a good run anyhow.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football 2009
Post by: Phatty on December 22, 2009, 03:02:00 PM
It was definitely NOT in the cards for me this year!   What looked great on paper, sucked in Fantasy!  Oh well, it's been fun as it always has!  Don't forget, just because you lost last week does NOT mean we're not playing THIS week.  We're still playing for places OTHER than 1, 2, or 3!

Shawn and Wayne, best of luck to the both of you!

The Packers blowout win may cost me the game here in FF, they pulled Rodgers way early so that sucks,  Shawn may over run me with the late games,

I saw them do the same thing to my FF QB the other night. It sure stunk so I know how you feel. Still, I saw the score for that game and envisioned Rodgers getting all those TDs. I was surprised to see I was still in it to be honest. Still, it was great to see that both our favorite teams did so well today. Well yours did well, mine eaked it out, but is still in the hunt. When I saw Big Ben throw that interception the last three minutes of the game my heart was in my throat, but we held em off long enough to get the win. It may be ugly but winning is winning.

As for this FF game we have going. I knew it would be down to the wire with us. Both of us have great rosters and I know it will probably come down till Monday night in the very last quarter, which imo is the way it should go down.  I have never won a season and won't lie I am psyched I am still in it. Still, as lucky as you are you will probably hoist the trophy again.

Fantasy football is a game where a team owner drafts players, similar to the real draft, then on game day you pick a roster from the players on your team and you are awarded points based on those players performance in the weeks games. Essentially it sounds more complicated than it is and can be alot of fun. We do our league here as a free league so there is no risk.
