AlexCold Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Updated for 2016! Anyone interested in participating in the NF FF league, this would be our third year. Same rules as before, looking for 12 participants. Le me know!! Updated for 2015! I'm wondering if anyone is interested in participating in a NF Fantasy Football league? I'm figuring head to head standard scoring (but open to PPR) with a standard online draft. I'd like at least 12. I will use the Yahoo Fantasy System because in my experience it's the best functioning and easiest to use. You don't need a yahoo email account to sign up. If you're interested, click this link and sign up. https://yho.com/nfl?l=278981&k=4b251b5e6f1a514a&ikey=07b692800b2f162c Quote Pinterest: Alex's Paleo Wins - Recipes on Pinterest Instagram: alexcold23 MFP: dalex916 Link to comment

I guess I thought there would have been more ppl interested so far. Changed it to 12. Invite sent!

AlexCold Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 It's only been a few ours, give it time. Pretty sure we got one going last year if you want to try to find the thread and PM the participants. I know, way excited about football season though. Ugh God yeah okay I'm in.How sad that part of my excitement over football season revolves around fantasy football. WHAT HAVE I BECOME. Actually fantasy football really brought me into football. I always watched games and enjoyed them but since I didn't have a team to diehard about it wasn't as fun as say baseball too me. Now that I have a son, we've declared our allegiance to the Cardinals since we live in AZ. I'll be some fodder for you guys, seriously I could do research and still end up losing every game (it has happened) No such thing as fantasy experts. It's all luck really, since the best laid plans can fail miserably. Quote Pinterest: Alex's Paleo Wins - Recipes on Pinterest Instagram: alexcold23 MFP: dalex916 Link to comment
cracked_belle Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I'm rather crappy at Fantasy Football (yet still I do it every year). I'll linger, and if you need another warm body, I'll jump in. until then, I'll keep that spot open for someone else who may be more interested.

cracked_belle Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 never done one before, but like jtggodqos has said if you need another body ill give it a shot. BTW my team is the vikings....well, in Fantasy Football, you pick players from all teams to create your own team. so you might have Brees as your QB from the Saints, and Jennings from the Vikings as a reciever. my issue is that I literally cannot root against my Saints. so if I've got Jennings and it's Vikings/Saints game, you want Jennings to be catching the ball. however, I simultainiously don't want my Saints opponent making progress. it really tears at my heart, lol.

Raze Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 i understand the premise behind it (i compare fantasy sports to D&D for "jocks") i just dont follow it enough to have ever known enough to do a fantasy league. I know enough about the vikings which i can remain conversational and seem like i know what is going on iun football. I may do a fantasy NHL season this year though! 1 Quote Level 1 Nord Epic Quest STR 3 | DEX 3 | STA 2 | CON 3 | WIS 3.5 | CHA 4 Original Challenge | 1ST | 2nd | joining the bebop | Return to the rangers | Spoiler "They wouldn't mind a corpse of you.

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I honestly approach it as an exercise in statistical analysis. I find a bunch of stat predictors, plug them into a spreadsheet with the point system, then have fantasy point predictions using stats from a variety of sources.I then run a bunch of mock drafts to get data on how many of each position go in each round and have a spreadsheet programmed to help me make my picks based on the predicted value of the best player at each position with my current pick vs the predicted value of the best player at my next pick. Biggest point differential at a position i still need is the the one i pick. 2 Quote Massrandir, Barkûn, Swolórin, The Whey Pilgrim 500 / 330 / 625 Challenges: 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 31 32 34 35 36 39 41 42 45 46 47 48 49 Current Challenge "No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training.

Its all about numbers. Mistakes people make every year is that they can't stop playing the "name" and put in the guy with the numbers. Not know names is an advantage IMHO.
