Discuss it here. Anything not league related will be deleted.

Now, is anyone interested in doing it this year? I don't want to run it anymore but I might play one more year..

 

[Matt]

I like bananas.

 

[Baroque]

I'll play

 

[Dak]

I could wi-play again

 

[Dak]

How much running is really involved if we just take the default setup and set a date for the draft?

Not much really. I think I just get frustrated at setting up everything and then half the league just not caring 8 games into the season. brooks has played since we started this and he seems to have disappeared. I know he would be interested otherwise.

I'm opening up the point schemes to you all this time. Whatever you want is fair game.

 

[Dak]

I've never had a real problem with default points settings. I just don't want to start messing with individual defensive players, and I think

1 QB
2 WR
1 RB
1 TE
1 Flex (WR/RB/TE)
1 K
1 DEF

5 Bench

allows for everyone to have reasonable depth without being able to hoard and so people don't wind up with a terrible matchup due to byes if they plan right, and/or don't get totally hamstrung by injuries.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Like I said, im down.
Do not want to run. Lazy like that.

 

[Dak]

Maybe this is the year Krig is present for the draft

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

haha, im always gone. I'd love to draft my own players. Not that im any good at it.

I actually dig that lineup. It doesn't allow for people to have 4 RBs start each week either (ie: brooks having 6 top 10 RBs one year).

 

[Dak]

Well I've seen lineups where it's like

2 QBs
4 WRs
2 RBS
Flex
K
3 Individual Defensive Players

So retarded. Trying to get it as close to actual lineups as possible allows everyone to have quality starters in 8-10 player leagues. While defenses can be consistently solid as a group, individual players are a crapshoot. Even JJ Watt doesn't get a sack every game, and there aren't enough Shermans and Watts to go around.

 

[brooks55]

I will play & my girlfriend wants to play again too. I also agree with this suggested lineup:

1 QB
2 WR
1 RB
1 TE
1 Flex (WR/RB/TE)
1 K
1 DEF

5 bench

 

[Nephilim96]

Like I said, I'll play again, but I'm not mature or responsible enough to be commissioner.

 

[Dak]

Sooooo, do we have a league yet? A headcount (looks like 6-7 so far)? Need to start looking to set a date for drafting if we do.

 

[The Ozzman]

The question is: Do you have a commissioner?

 

[Dak]

Do we?

 

[brooks55]

I have set it up. PM me your emails if you want to play. I scheduled the draft for Saturday, September 5th at 3:00 Central. That can be changed if needed. Do we want a waiver period or no waivers like in the past?

 

[Dak]

I'd say no waivers. If people aren't paying attention they aren't paying attention. I'd rather have a Sunday date than a Saturday date but I'm flexible.

 

[King Richard]

I'll play.
