CP Fantasy Football League

[Fozzie_DeBear]

Any CP'ers want to do a Fantasy Football league this year?

Looking for 7-9 people who will take it seriously.

[calgarygeologist]

I would sign up.

[SportsJunky]

Sure, count me in.

[Displaced Flames fan]

Are we starting over then? We had 3 leagues last year complete with relegation and promotion.

I could have missed the demise of those leagues though.

[TheScorpion]

I'll do it.

[jgotti]

I'm in. Thanks

[Weitz]

I'll play.
Whats the buy in?
Rules?
Yahoo? Other?

[Drake]

I'll join.

[Displaced Flames fan]

I am in either way

[Skaloper]

If there is a spot I am interested.

[FlamesNation23]

i'll join if there is a spot

[Hockey]

Why not try a dynasty league or auction style draft?

[Ragz]

I'm in

[Fozzie_DeBear]

How about a Yahoo league with something like these rules...

10 team
Standard Rules (No PPR)
Auction (Snake is ok if the majority want it)
2QB
3WR
2RB
1TE
No Kicker
No Def
X number of bench spots


Thoughts?
________

[SportsJunky]

2QB would be interesting. I'd vote yes to Kicker and yes to PPR. Otherwise, it looks good to me.

[jeep991]

I'd like to join if spots still open.

[Fozzie_DeBear]

So it looks like we have about 12 people interested. I'll create a Yahoo league in the next couple of days with the above rules except we will have half point PPR (**** kickers ;-)

[jgotti]

Flex spot?

[Fozzie_DeBear]

If we did a flex I would drop it to 2 WR

[shotinthebacklund]

I would be interested in joining! 2 leagues? One with standard yahoo settings?

If there is not any spots available i mean.

2 qb leagues get very weak with a larger pool

[Fozzie_DeBear]

Ok...I have setup the league. A couple of housekeeping items.

1-Currently the draft is set for online Thursday Aug 25 at 8pm (no real thought went into this time)

2-PM me and I will send you the link to register

3-When you PM me...indicate three times that would work for you for the draft...I'll do my best to accommodate. Also, give me your email please.

4-I'd like to have a penalty for anybody who finishes outside of the playoffs. Like they have to have a PRO oiler avatar for the rest of the season. Thoughts?

[shotinthebacklund]

Can you post roster spots and entry fee ?

[Fozzie_DeBear]

No entry fee..

2QB
2WR
2RB
1TE
1 flex
6 bench

A reminder it's auction style

And 2 teams will miss playoffs

[Fozzie_DeBear]

4 teams registered

[Fozzie_DeBear]

6 teams...four spots open.

[Fozzie_DeBear]

Need three more players...any suggestions of people who would be interested?

[Fozzie_DeBear]

UPDATED DRAFT TIME : Tues Aug 30th 8pm

[SportsJunky]

Tuesday draft is going to rough for me. I'm at a golf tournament until about that time. I'll do my best.

[SportsJunky]

Need three more players...any suggestions of people who would be interested?

Open it up to public on Monday if need be.

[Fozzie_DeBear]

Tuesday draft is going to rough for me. I'm at a golf tournament until about that time. I'll do my best.

I can push it later...or find another day if need be

[Fozzie_DeBear]

2 spots left

[Fozzie_DeBear]

1 spot left...

[Pagal4321]

Are we starting over then? We had 3 leagues last year complete with relegation and promotion.

I could have missed the demise of those leagues though.

Starting over, unfortunately I don't have the time to manage those three leagues anymore.

If you can't find someone to fill that last spot, I will take it and try to draft from my phone.

[SportsJunky]

For those of you who haven't done an auction style draft (this is my first), I'd recommend participating in one or two mock drafts on the Yahoo site. It is quite a fun way of drafting but it takes a little getting used to. Do yourself a favour and get in a practice draft if you can.

[Hockey]

This is an auction draft? Hmm I like those.

I actually just got invited to an auction keeper league that has been going on since 2004.

[SportsJunky]

^ well sign up man! One spot left.

[Hockey]

I thought about it, but only problem is the draft time is at the exact same time as my main league with my friends.

[Fozzie_DeBear]

For those of you who haven't done an auction style draft (this is my first), I'd recommend participating in one or two mock drafts on the Yahoo site. It is quite a fun way of drafting but it takes a little getting used to. Do yourself a favour and get in a practice draft if you can.

Once you try an auction its tough to go back...having the ability to get any player (which won't happen in a snake draft) make it a much richer strategic experience.

[Fozzie_DeBear]

We have 10 managers! Thanks all.

Please confirm that you can make the draft time...

[nickerjones]

I'll play if needed

[SportsJunky]

Draft is tomorrow night everyone. Just a friendly reminder. I'm taking Purple Jesus if I get 1st over all.

[Fozzie_DeBear]

It's an auction buddy..1st overall means squat. And if you want PJ or Diggs it's gonna be pricey ;-)

[Fozzie_DeBear]

Well...maybe Vikings are going to go a little cheaper now

Game on!

[DropIt]

stay tuned for TheScorpion's picks

[FlamesNation23]

TheScorpion had the greatest draft of all time

[Hatter]

Whew. Gonna be tough to top the Romo/Bridgewater tandem TheScorpion is gonna roll out there. Auction autodraft is hilarious.

[TheScorpion]

Oh god. What happened....

[SportsJunky]

Do not bail on the season The Scorpion. You can have some fun fixing your team and winning it all. It can be done!

[TheScorpion]

I will try!

[TheScorpion]

Aw jeez. Romo and Bridgewater?

What the heck, Yahoo!?

[Skaloper]

Aw jeez. Romo and Bridgewater?

What the heck, Yahoo!?

Proposed you a trade

[TheScorpion]

I'll accept that.

Tannehill/Gabbert could be my tandem. Might have to package them for someone else.

[TheScorpion]

The waiver wire is getting a workout from me!

[TheScorpion]

Yeah everyone something came up last minute, I'm sorry I couldn't make the draft.

It'll all work out, though! I will champion!

[TheScorpion]

We have a trade to announce:

To TheScorpion:

QB Ryan Tannehill

To 2 Minutes to Win it:

TE Delanie Walker

[TheScorpion]

I have sent approximately seventeen PMs in search of a trade partner. I need a WR and a QB.

[TheScorpion]

We have a trade to announce:

To TheScorpion:

RB DeAngelo Williams
TE Zach Miller
WR Josh Gordon
WR Michael Crabtree

To Silverbacks

RB Mark Ingram
TE Coby Fleener

[Fozzie_DeBear]

Question for you all...

Do you want to have a $$$ prize for the pool? It would need to be unanimous...maybe $20 buy in...winner gets $180 2nd place gets $20?

And I'd like to confirm the penalty for the ones who miss the playoffs. If you miss the playoffs you need to have a pro-Oiler CP avatar for the rest of the NHL regular season.

So...

What do you think of the prize? Yes or no (if its not unanimous its a no)
What do you think of the punishment?

[SportsJunky]

No for both of those things.

[DropIt]

definite no on the money. Too late in this stage to be buying in.

[Fozzie_DeBear]

OK...the pool will not have a buy-in or penalty.

Just the sweet, sweet thrill of victory and the crushing humiliation of defeat.

[TheScorpion]

Why do I have to go up against Cam!?

[Fozzie_DeBear]

Why do I have to go up against Cam!?

Fussing 1 game into the season? ;-)

[Fozzie_DeBear]

Good luck everyone (2 min to win it excluded)

[TheScorpion]

Well this is going awesome so far. Thanks RGIII.

[Hatter]

My $1 Spencer Ware pickup sure paid off this week. Love it!

[TheScorpion]

This is a disaster.

[TheScorpion]

Who wants Dez and Witten? I need a top QB.

[TheScorpion]

God, if it wasn't for DeAngelo Williams, I'd be sitting at around 55 points this week.

[Fozzie_DeBear]

God, if it wasn't for DeAngelo Williams, I'd be sitting at around 55 points this week.

You're welcome ;-)

[Fozzie_DeBear]

[Shakes fist at fantasy gods]

[TheScorpion]

So can we make a trade, Fozzie? I want Brees, not Rivers.

[Fozzie_DeBear]

So can we make a trade, Fozzie? I want Brees, not Rivers.

Can't make that trade...

[rubecube]

Can't make that trade...

LOL, how much garbage did he offer you for that?

[Fozzie_DeBear]

LOL, how much garbage did he offer you for that?

:whistle:

[TheScorpion]

Not a chance, Fozzie.

[Fozzie_DeBear]

Not a chance, Fozzie.

I was wondering...did autopick make those trade offers? ;)

[TheScorpion]

;)

Propose me another trade. I'd like a WR upgrade.

[TheScorpion]

I am very proud of my Gabbert pickup right now. Two straight weeks of great play from him.

[TheScorpion]

I don't know who "Lee Carruthers" is, but this matchup for the SNF game today is unreal.

We're currently projected to finish under three points apart. I'm 21.04 points ahead, but you have Rodgers and Cobb. I have Sam Bradford.

Go Vikings, is what I'm saying.

[TheScorpion]

Hey "Lee Carruthers":

ygQvB6OjHOU

[TheScorpion]

So... after autodrafting my lineup, picking up Blaine Gabbert and Sam Bradford, of all people, off of waivers to serve as my QB tandem, and finishing dead last in Week 1...

TheScorpion has finished first overall in Week 2! You know it, baby!
