Apolyton Fantasy Football!

[Imran Siddiqui]

Bump!

These are the people that expressed ANY interest:

Slowwhand
Ming
Tuberski
Reismark
MRT144
Berzerker
Zero
Sloth
Jac de Molay
monolith94 (with training wheels )
Zopperoni

That's 12 people in total. Now if you ALL want in, confirm it (well MRT doesn't have to since he already did in this thread) by posting.... and commenting on the rules.

Thanks .

[Berzerker]

Confirmed, but I'd vote for picking defensive players too if we get a vote. But I'm a newbie to NFL fantasy and don't know if the reasons for or against make one method better than the other. Does that mean we all pick a team for our defense? That would seem to put people lower on the totem at a big dis-advantage, true? If I get to pick first and take TB and the last person to pick gets stuck with an average or mediocre defense, wouldn't that pretty much ruin their season?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Not really... because Defenses don't make nearly as many points as Offensive players. In usual drafts they are picked in the later rounds. The different in points between Tampa and Indianapolis, say, is very close compared to the difference between Payton Manning and Drew Brees.

[Tuberski]

I'm in, and I say teams, it's a lot harder to find an impact defensive player than defensive team.

Although, last year I did have Derrick Brooks....

ACK!

[reismark]

I'm in. And I don't care whether we go with team defense or individual players, as long as everyone's aware that if we do individual players, Simeon Rice is MINE. Don't mess with that boy this year - he'll KILL you.

As long as you don't take DB.

ACK!

[reismark]

Oh no, Tuberski, DB is mine too.

Be that way about it and I'll take simeon Rice in the FIRST ROUND!!!!

Ah, okay, so the points system is slanted toward offense. But I still bet the TB defense goes before any defense or offensive player.

Is sandbox a full pay site now?

count me in as usual.

can't you expand it over 12 teams?

This league filled up too fast

[Zopperoni]

Confirmed. Either online or offline draft is fine by me.

Here is the rules:

[...]

Starting Positions: QB, WR, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, K, DEF, Bench, Bench, Bench, Bench, Bench, Bench

Didn't we have more starters last season? I recall something like 2*QB, 2*WR, 2*RB, 1*TE, 2*WR/RB, 1*WR/TE, 1*K, and 3*Def. player.

Can we have something like that this season as well? Perhaps something like: 2*QB, 2*WR, 2*RB, 1*TE, 1*WR/RB, 1*WR/TE, 1*K, 1*DEF?


O, and collective or individual defense doesn't matter to me.

Yeah, I'm in for sure. And I can't WAIT for football season because endless days of baseball ( ) and women's basketball is starting to give me ulcerative colitis.

Btw, I'm a newbie this year and couldn't find the "free" fantasy page on Yahoo yesterday. Can someone throw up a link or email me at beermaestro@yahoo.com to help me out??

thanks

Go right ahead . I'll take Marshall Faulk or Ricky Williams right behind it .

can't you expand it over 12 teams?

Yeah... It ain't full yet. You can still make it if people don't confirm they are in, or if Ming gets mad at the setup and leaves the league .

Can we have something like that this season as well?

It depends. If we only have 10 teams, then sure... but with 12 and above, it becomes much harder... especially if a player gets injured, etc. With 10 teams you have 20 RBs, with 12 it's 24 RBs, with 14 its 28. You also need to have some RBs left over for backups.

I'll send the address to y'all once we're confirmed .

CONFIRMED:

Imran
Bezerker
Tuberski
Reismark
Zopperoni
Jac de Molay
MRT144
Dissident

The reason I'm having you confirming is to see how often you are here... it makes an offline draft MUCH easier if y'all are around.
