I love the league name!!

There are now 7 teams in the league.

hooray! just one more now =)

cmon matty, you know you want to do it.... come to the dark side...
arthur dodel too....
chrisi......

=)

i thought about it, but i have no idea what american football is. only thing i know: men in protection suits play a game that looks like rugby ( i'm a rugby newb too ).
i would be no competition.

The thing is Chrisi that you don't have to know how or who is playing. It is a random draft and you really don't have to do anything. Your team will get picked and then it depends on how each player performs each week. If they get touchdowns, sacks, interceptions, ect. they score points for your team. I'm sure you know how that works. Get entered into the league, it will be fun..

OK i'm in, what do i have to do

very cool arthur!
i sent you an invite for the league to your gmx.com email address.
you should get a link and can sign up there.

like slinger said, its autodraft so you'll be assigned a starting squad.
you can then opt to add or drop players as you see fit.
each week you go 1v1 against another manager.
the aim is for your players to gain more points than your opponent.
you choose each week which players you will use, for instance you have 2 quarterback slots to fill, and may have 3 QBs in your roster to choose from.

you can rearrage your roster however you want, you could have 10WRs on your list, of course you have a 25player roster limit, and only play 6 or so WRs each week (according to the slots), so it might be a waste since you might not have enough players to fill the other slots.

if you have questions as the season goes on, just ask and we can try our best to fill you in. prb just see how the first week rolls and youll understand the system better at that point.
cheers!

Ok done it still not sure whats going on but i've signed up and the 69'ers are gonna kick your asses

HaH the 69r's!! Don't worry, arty. You'll get it figured out as we go, plus I won't rub it in when my BitchBeaters beat you down>!!



Fantasy Football Myths

In order to play fantasy football you have to follow the NFL and sports closely. This is not true in anyway. Most every fantasy football website will provide you with more then enough information to play. Sites will rank players for you and provide you with historical stats so you can judge for yourself who to pick, or you can just let the system pick your team for you. Also, with about 20 minutes of research, you can go to any of the top sports sites and read the analysts suggestions for picks and news. Sure it helps to follow sports so that maybe you can find that one sleeper (player who not everyone knows about) but it is not necessary to be competitive in a fantasy football league.

I don't have time to play Fantasy Football. Everyone has time. If you have 10 minutes a week, you can play fantasy football. After the draft which can take anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours, there is very little you need to do. Each week you log in and check to make sure your best players are in the lineup for that week and that there is no major news about them and you are done. Sure, every league has that one guy who spends way too much time checking out players or checking match-ups but it is really not necessary.
You log in on Tuesday to see who has won your match-up and how your players did, then you log in on Friday to make sure your line-up is the way you want it and you are done. 5 minutes each, twice a week. Simple as that.

I don't want to waste my money. Fantasy football is free on just about every website. There are some sites that you can pay for upgrades or some leagues may put money in a pool but you don't need any of these upgrades and there are tons of free leagues to join.

I don't want to pull against my favorite team. If you are Chicago Bears fan, you can still pull for your team to win and play fantasy football, its not against the rules and Bears-Nation will not boot you as a fan if you pull for an extra touchdown from one of your players who happens to be on a rival team.

These are a few of the popular fantasy myths or excuses surrounding fantasy football but if anyone has anymore questions, concerns or comments to add please let me know and I will address them for you.

Fantasy football is fun, don't be scared of it.

Good games everyone! i cant believe dallas clark scored 27 on monday night football.... freaking time, you lucked out!

I looked at our match up yesterday and was going ohh fuck I'm gona loose this week. You had both defenses and I had one TE. I prayed for no fumbles, int, and sacks and that Clark would score many times. Boy did I luck out there. Nice match Manager Jackel.
