  • Apolyton Fantasy Football!

    Early? Hell yes! That's ok. Yahoo has just opened with their league. And since Sandbox and CBS have become pay sites, I think that is our best bet. I wanted to start a thread to talk about the league.

    I'm thinking of an offline draft like we did for baseball.

    Sandbox doesn't have that premium time this year, so they say.

      Sandbox would be nice if they've dropped the crap. And a slow draft vs be on line or die would be nice too.
      Keep on Civin'

          I agree, last year I wasn't able to be online for the draft. The computer picked Jake Plummer for me.

          'nuff said.

          ACK!
          Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

            I'm still here. Maybe this year I'll actually have TIME to play... (especially if it's an offline draft).

              Yeah. I think fantasy baseball taught Imran the importance of being somewhat timely on making your slow draft pick.
              DIDN'T it, Imran?

                    i just lost my lead to a person who had computer chosen team. The thing is, everyone in our league has had trouble with the 1,2,3rd round picks... vlad, schilling, johnson, pedro... etc except him. i cant believe the amount of luck this guys been having. and he made plenty of dumb trades with me too. (for example, trading away eric gagne, mark mulder)
                    :-p

                      Are we totally sure on this? Their 'plus' features sucked ass and basically made the game a premium game.

                      Yeah. I think fantasy baseball taught Imran the importance of being somewhat timely on making your slow draft pick.


                      Naw... you have all your time to make the pick. But if you drop off the face of Earth, we reserve the right to have to the computer pick for you .

                      If we do a slow live draft we gotta start on August 1st or before. NO LATER! I've already set up the bare bones of a league... we should decide who's in, who's out and when this show is on the road.

                          maybe this year my vacation won't interfere too much...and after two years in a row of easy random leagues wins, I need a more competitive field to crush

                            Sloth:

                            Oh, and this year a 'Cannot CUT List'. Basically this is a constantly updating list of stars that teams cannot cut. This is to prevent teams at the lower end of the league from cutting a star to mess things up. Of course, if a star gets injured he'll be taken off the list.

                            Yahoo ... doing some really good things to their game, AND keeping it free!

                            My next post will give the league rules, and we can discuss them.

                              I like to try this, too, though I 've never done fantasy stuff.

                              It'll keep my mind off the Lions grinding another coach into oblivion this season.
