Journal FortKnox's Journal: Fantasy Football: Lets talk 9
OK, looks like this is who's still in:
Keith Russell
sielwolf
helio
hampster
red warrior
daoine
asv108
em
Blackneto
Me
And people wanting in:
Lord Bodak
neverkevin
WIAKywbfatw (what does that stand for, anyway?)
Aggrazel
That would make a 14 team league. Large, but doable.
Now, a call for a few votes:
A.)Want to make it 1 giant league (WRs and RBs will become really scarse), or 2 smaller leagues (one eight-team league, one six-team league to make the leagues even and avoid bye weeks)? Should we not include the new people wanting to get in?
B.)I see most want defense/special teams to replace individual defensive players. I'm cool with that. Anyone object?
C.)Do we do the 'plus' thing again (would be about $5 a person, IIRC)? Would give the league a buncha tools and the winner gets a trophy (though Hampster never recieved his... but we'll look into that).
D.)Do we do the "Yahoo" league again? Or something else like espn, or sportsline, or fanball? (Anything besides 'free' yahoo costs about the same... about $5/person IIRC).
E.)Do we keep any players? Looks like no one has the final rosters (sorry again, guys), but I'm sure we all know at least 1 player we had that we'd like to keep (I know I do), but it would be somewhat of an honesty thing. Do we keep players? If so, how many?
F.)Anything else to address?

b. I prefer team D, but not if we have a 14 team league.
c. sure
d. whatever, no opinion
e. sure -- could someone please tell me who I had? I can't remember between my two leagues.

I like individual D, but don't object to team D. I can go either way.

The major issue (Score:2)
With a league the size of the AFC, that top four would massacre folks in both real life and in FFL.
So I think one player might be the max (answer to E). Of course since we can't remember who was on our teams, this fixes that plus lets us have one large league (A).
I'm still up for paying for a Pro option. Yahoo! was fine. Anything of that

B) Do it. Team Defense works for me.
C) No. The fun's in the game and the bragging rights, not some cheesy trophy.
D) Yes, stick with Yahoo. Their system is easy to use and uncomplicated, yet still flexible.
E) No, no keeping players. If new players were taking over old rosters, or if the league was contracting, then having keepers would be reasonable and fair. But having keepers for some but not for others is unfair.
F) If you're going to have a prize, have cash prizes. Something like
Another country heard from (Score:2)
A: I'd rather break it up. With this many teams in one league, nobody will have a deep bench, and one injury could blow up an entire season for some poor sap. (Disclaimer: I drafted Chad Pennington last year.)
B: Teams. I think team defenses have a bigger impact on a fantasy team's score than individual defensive players do.
C: Plus.
D: Let's at least explore other options. In general, Yahoo was good, but it really chafed me to see that their real-time stats tracker required IE and the Microsoft VM.
E:
