NFL Fantasy Football 2011

yeah it’ll need to be really late with the lockout affecting things.

Later the better all right.

So just Tinnion in for Puke then and we’re good to go.

Someone needs to be counting names here so we can see if we need two divisions.

I’m going to make this its own thread anyway.

I am sure the likes of Cluaindiuic and gman would be willing/sad enough to enter B teams in the second division if it is short on numbers

No I have enough teams elsewhere. Why would I play in the B division when I’m the champion of the top table.

We could assign mentors from the top division to the bottom division to help them get up with the pace of the most demanding fantasy sports competition in the world.

yeah as CLD says, enough teams in other leagues. if I had a second one here I wouldnt bother me hole with it.

I’ll be joining the top division.

When is the draft? Will it be a live draft? I won’t be able to take part in it until early August at the earliest, if it’s live.

I’m fairly sure I reduced that to the minimal time possible last time. Anyway, flex positions are a definite goer this year. PPR is still an open debate though I think.

If only we had a forum where we could debate those issues.

Debate away.

What are your reservations with PPR?

It changes the whole dynamic of the draft for the WR position mainly. I’m not totally against it at all, it just changes the pecking order of the WRs. May not be a problem at this stage since everyone in the league should know their stuff by now.

I think we need it if we are adding a flex position and continuing with a bigger bench.
Otherwise the bench would be pointless as we wouldn’t have enough players of value to fill the bench as would be the tough decisions you need to make when cutting one player for another.

What is the flex? WR/RB/TE?

I was thinking WR/RB. I’m going to set the league up tomorrow or Monday so we have time to play around with the settings.

Just noticed an email reminding me about activating the league,courtesy of someone called cluain.

Rather cryptic.
Don’t know anyone by that name.

I logged in the other day to see if I would have access to stats etc on something on working on separately.
It told me to get you to activate the league.

I think you could throw in TE into flex.
Won’t make that much of a difference.
As long as you don’t include QB.
[I know a guy who has a league like this. Me no likey]
Throw kicker in there for the laugh.

I’d rather 0.5 point per reception than 1 point.

What about return yards? I still think they should be individual. Defense is team based. Offense and special teams is individual.
DeSean Jackson not getting points when he runs a punt back is retarded.

Maybe we could include some individual defensive players next year?
