Fantasy Football League 2005

We are still a couple monthes away from drafting but I thought I'd let everyone know they are welcome to play again this year or join if you didn't play last year. I'll be setting up a league on Yahoo! again similar to last years setup. So let me know if you are interested so I have some idea of how many we will have from this forum. I will post more later about a the league name, draft date & time and the stat settings.

 

[Scott]

Ok, I've got 2 dates to choose from. It wasn't as easy to get good times this year because they changed some things at Yahoo! which made the times go quickly.

August 12 @ 6:45 p.m. EST

or

September 5 (Labor Day) @ 10:45 a.m. EST

I think we can fill the other spots up easily no matter which time we go with, but the second time gets us a better look at players and safer picks considering that pre-season will be over and we'll know who is injured(Regular season starts Thursday September 8). As of right now, Et3rnal is the only one from this forum wanting to play so if anyone else wants to play and has a preference as to which time we draft then let me know ASAP. Post here in this thread if you want or PM me.

 

[Et3rnal]

Wow, both are going to be hard for me to make. The August will be the best for me, but not as safe of picks as the Labor day one.

 

[Scott]

I was mad the way they changed the picking times. I tried to find the latest times in the day and the latest dates ended around August 12 and the safest dates are at times where it will be hard to get most people online.

 

[Et3rnal]

the safest dates are at times where it will be hard to get most people online.

What times were those?

 

[Scott]

Jackpot!! I've found a solution and I've given us the ability to use utility players on both offense and defense while keeping the points system close to what it was last year. I created a league at ESPN called Any Given Sunday II. The draft dates are pretty much all available so let me know if this date is do-able.... August 27 (Saturday) @ 9:00 P.M. EST. Let me know soon if you can cuz I'm not sure how fast these draft times go.

 

[Et3rnal]

Oh yeah, much better sounds good to me! Can you post the point system here?

 

[Scott]

I tweaked the Defensive Points allowed scoring slightly, nothing major. I added achievment points for the QB's, RB's & WR's (TE would qualify too). They are points for high passing, high rushing and high receiving yardage games. Let me know what you think.
