Title: RIA Fantasy Football League
Post by: Jenne on July 26, 2010, 09:19:23 pm
Who is in?

We did a joint one with TJO last year, but participation was lacking.  I'd like to see a lot more of you in it this year.  If we cannot get enough internal participation, I will open this up to allies.

I've heard of this and it looks fun, but I don't really need any other games to take up my time. I don't do enough work as it is.

FFL's are a lot like CN in that you can spend as much or as little time as you want on them.  I am generally in 2 or 3 leagues every year.  Most are not taken very seriously, so the time spent is pretty low. 

football=soccer or football=american football?
Coming from me, would you really expect soccer?

Oh, American football?

Ew.

Definately not then.

Since the RIA apparently sucks a bag of dicks, I move this to a public location (at least I hope it is.  I's too stupid to look).  Anyone else out there on Planet Bob interested?

coming in to defend my championship

I still can't believe you beat me.

I'll get a league set up tomorrow.   I am going to wait to see if we get more interest.  3 is hardly a league. 



I am thinking auto-draft this year.  Live draft last year was fun, but it's so hard to get a good time for everyone.

Post by: TomAceEsq on August 15, 2010, 12:31:01 am
I'm in.
Title: Re: RIA Fantasy Football League
Post by: Jenne on August 15, 2010, 09:16:08 am
I talked to DW and he is out.  Anyone remember who else was in the league last year?

I know we had 8, this is all I remember:
Jenne - in
Leo - out
constapatedape - in
drunkwino - out
jagged fels - need to contact

who am I missing?

I am thinking autodraft unless there is a real push to have a live one.  It's hard to get people together, and it is very slow when someone is missing.

Wait...what do i do now? Create my own team? I've done the league selection thingy...
Title: Re: RIA Fantasy Football League
Post by: Jenne on August 25, 2010, 06:57:27 am
Yes, you need to create a team.  The you can go and edit your pre-draft rankings.  Once we get enough players, I will set the draft active, and it will run automatically a couple days later.  The rankings will be used to select your players in the draft.  If you do not edit them, the Yahoo default rankings will be used.

Gah...wha?...d-uh...i r confused...help me out jenne, i know nothing about nfl teams/players and whatnot.
Suffice to say that you'll probably have to direct my every move before i actually get a hang of it...

sex it, I was about to give you advice, gangs, but I just decided to join the league. Yeah, that's right, I'm in and my draft is gonna suck, but I'll make up for it with trades and UDFA pickups!

If you don't know much about the players, you should probably stick to Yahoo default rankings.  I didn't change the points much, so they should be pretty good.  If you want to look to see who is good, check out the points system in the league, and then look at the player stats and find out who was good in those categories.  Obvious stats like yards and TDs are the most important. 

When the league drafts, you will be drafting a starting lineup and a few bench players.  Check out your team page to see the numbers of each you need.  The bench players don't count for points.  They are there if you want to swap for good matchups or if one of your starters gets hurt or has a bye.

Come on peoples, lets get signed up.  Only 4 in so far.  We need to draft by the end of next week to get in for week 1 on the season. 
Title: Re: RIA Fantasy Football League
Post by: Jenne on September 06, 2010, 09:49:19 am
League draft has been set to active.  If you have not done so, get your pre-draft rankings ready.  Hopefully it will complete before Wednesday so we can play week 1.

You're all screwed. My team is gonna kick so much ass it's gonna get its own restraining order.
Title: Re: RIA Fantasy Football League

We drafted already.  Small league means deep teams.  Should be fun.  Good luck to everyone.
Title: Re: RIA Fantasy Football League
Post by: Jenne on September 12, 2010, 10:48:20 pm
How 'bout them lolboys?

Couple of good matchups.  Myself and constapatedape are nearly deadlocked, both with 1 left.  I have the Jets D and he has Dwayne Bowe.  Based on projections, I should lose by 0.07 pts, but I like my chances. 

Leo and ACEREALZ have a pretty good match going too with Leo trailing by 8 pts but having 4 players left to ACEREALZ's 2. 
Title: Re: RIA Fantasy Football League
Post by: Leo on September 13, 2010, 12:01:57 am
ACEREALZ had a weird strategy as he started players from the same position who were playing each other. Smith and Smith of the Giants/Panthers and Rice and Greene of the Ravens and Jets.

Close game, but I'm hoping that my 4 SD players have a good night against KC so I can pull out with a win(and no children).

Just a reminder, bye weeks start this week.  Make sure you check your rosters to make sure people are playing. 
Title: Re: RIA Fantasy Football League
Post by: Gangs on October 01, 2010, 03:46:22 am
D-uh...I really haven't done anything yet, i just...somehow won all three matches...i'd like to keep it that way but i doubt luck can get me through the entire season...help?
Title: Re: RIA Fantasy Football League
Post by: Jenne on October 03, 2010, 08:40:06 am
Like, just take a look at your team, and if you have guys who have a bye, they are not playing this week and you need to swap them out.  Looking at your team, you do have changes to make. 
Title: Re: RIA Fantasy Football League
Post by: Jenne on December 18, 2010, 12:49:55 pm
It's playoff time.  After a surprise win last year, constapatedape finished dead last this year and won't be defending his title. 

Round 1 Matchups

Jeni Warriors (Jenne)
vs.
SHADY MILKMEN (ACEREALZ)

Indian Shadows (Gangs)
vs.
Daz Boltz (Leo)

Actually, constapatedape ended up in 5th place after winning the final game of the season.

Also, I can't believe I lost the championship game by only 2 points, dammit! If I had been in the country and known that Gates or Johnson wasn't going to play, I could've replaced one of them and probably won it all, but all well, At least I know I'm better than those other 4 faggots in my league.
