Draft will be Saturday, August 22nd at 2p EST.

Open to anyone interested.

Joined. I'll customize my team at a later date. But thanks for setting it up.



Now...

I'm always a fan of smaller benches/IR. Makes decisions of who to drop more harrowing.

Lol @ rushing yd. points and 50+ yd. field goals. I'll roll with whatever, but I'm more used to default values. Same on the 40+ yd. bonuses.

So if there are any votes to be cast on possible tweaks, those are my only thoughts.

bump

Wuttup? You guys need more?

Can you join with an existing yahoo email account?

Nvm.. I'm in..

Bump again.

Giving an extra point for splash plays, that's all. If you guys would rather have default it's no problem though.

How bout 0.5 ppr?

The Shiva Bowl is a democracy. It's up for a vote.

Nice.

Where do we vote? Yahoo league site? I haven't used ffball on yahoo in minute.. Been using ESPN.. No longer familiar with it.

Nah, here. I'm the commissioner. You guys vote on something, I'll enact it. Since I'm also a competitor I won't vote since it could be considered conflict of interest. Decisions will be up to you guys, I'll just be the executor.

F*ck PPR. There's my vote on that.

Only thing I see as strategy-altering, and therefore suspect, is that rushing is 1 pt. per 5 yds, and receiving is 1 pt. per 10 yds.

I'm cool with splash plays. It's hard to account for them anyway in drafts, aside from occasional tiebreakers.

Yahoo's a good site for fantasy. It's become my preferred one in recent years, over ESPN and a couple others.

What do you suggest? Make both 1 pt for 10 yards?

Exactly. RBs will be heavily overvalued compared to WR and QB otherwise, even if we were to switch to PPR. Seriously, if the rules remain as-is, my first three rounds minimum will be RB.

On a slightly less fortunate note, I'm about 50/50 for the draft. Not asking to have it switched, just giving a heads-up.

Oh I love football....wait a minute, this seems to be about some sort of rugby like sport that's played in full armor, with your hands, and an egg instead of a ball....what gives.

I love American football but soccer is the greatest sport on the planet. Actually I felt conflicted when I cheered hardcore for Germany in 2006 and 2010 World Cups.

Should have cheered for Germany in 2014, happy ending!


Fantasy Football seems insanely complicated to me, I hardly understand how American Football works, and following that link there's like 100 variables. So do you "draft" a full team, or how many players?

You draft starters at key skill positions, mostly. You're not fielding a full team in a traditional sense; there's no good way to quantify offensive lineman stats, for example. Most of the points you receive boil down to yards and Touchdowns/Field Goals. Most other things are window dressing.

I vote 1 pt per 10 yrds in both rushing and receiving.

But I vote .5 ppr for all!!!!

Germany had the best team in both world cups in my opinion but they were too inexperienced to deal with the dirty play from Spain in 2010 and it cost them.

Herp derp I'm European, what's this business about football? Soccer's clearly the best ya know, because we're cultured and don't think bacon is a national hero. Better go pat myself on the back now.

Seriously, gtfo. I like soccer but I'm ready to go WWII on your asses if you're not going to join the league to give me someone to beat down on.

uhuh

Provided it's a 0.5 ppr.

Muahahaha.

I'll roll with whatever. Strategically it makes no difference to me. My issue with PPR is that it's redundant. We already get points for the yards, and in today's league, there's no real need to have a variable to bring WRs closer to RBs. They're both insanely valuable. But does a -2 yard catch help the team? No, it actually hurts them slightly. But it helps a fantasy team. So to me it detaches fantasy from real football. At that point it just feels like a math exercise, not a rough but believable facsimile of the actual sport.

damn. only 5 people. we still doing this?

we need 8 or it's a bit of a wash, imo. A shame, too. Maybe try the sport forum? We had a league there years ago. Might be a few still lurking that would be happy to join.

You guys would have more luck doing European Soccer it seems.

I'd join this but I don't have the time/don't want to/don't pay attention to Fooseball. You should go drum up interest on the sports forum and go around other forums linking here in your sig.

Draft has been postponed so we can try to add at least 3 more competitors and round it out to 8 teams.

New time is:

Date: Saturday August 29, 2015
Time: 11:00 am (PST)

Brandon Cooks sleeper pick ....ssshhhhh

So I think we're still at 5. While it's technically possible to still have a league with that many, it might be best to just call it. A shame, but that might be better than limping in with so few.

If the draft is still happening, though, I may be able to hop on, but it will have to be on my phone, which could be dicey. So we'll see.

was hoping more people would join.

Smh...

I'll postpone the draft one more week and if we can't get 3 more competitors by then I'll just kill it outright. Damn shame.

Well, an attempt was made. Shoot me a PM if we try again next year. Cheers.

Tom Brady destroying. My points are up.
