YES!
We have 8 and let's try to draft this weekend. If we can agree on a time, an online draft would be the easiest with it lasting about 1 & 1/2 hours, maybe a little less. If everyone would post what are good times to draft for you. I really like Yahoo fantasy, any complaints?
It's getting close so if 2 more people want to join they better hurry and say something.
Trance, do you need a quick lesson?
This will be my 1st too. Know a bunch a people that do it, just never got in myself.Quote:

It's very simple, draft players, plug them into the starting line up every week, earn points and win.
A "default" fantasy football team normally uses the following starting line up: 1 quarterback, 2 running backs, 3 wide receivers, 1 tight end, 1 defensive team, and 1 kicker and about 10 bench positions. We can use this base configuration or add to it such as a slot or flex position which can be a rb,wr, or te whatever you want it to be and adding a defensive player slot.
Points on offense are awarded fo yardage gained and touchdowns scored (kickers get points for extra points and field goals). Usually running backs get 1 point per 10 yards and wide receivers 1 point for 20 yards. Points are taken away for bad plays such as a lost fumble, sack, or interception.
Points for defensive teams and players are scored on defensive touchdowns, safeties, interceptions, sacks, and fumbles recovered. Defensive teams also score points based on how many points they give up in a game. Defensive players can score points for tackles.
Two scoring systems are usually used, total points at the end of the season and a ranking based on this then top whatever make the playoffs or Head to Head. We will be using head to head where we would end up playing each other about twice in the season. The winning team between the two that face off in their head to head matchup is the one that scores more points and you get a win or loss. Playoffs are then based on win loss records and total points scored used as a tie breaker.
Changes I like to make include adding the defensive player and a slot player. However the slot player makes things more difficult for beginners but if we have only 8 teams, this might not make a difference. Changes in scoring I like to make is the yardage for receivers either making it 1 point per 15 yards or the same as a running back. I hate that discrimination against wideouts! We can also add "bonus" points awarded to big scoring plays usually like over 40 yards.
You will be able to trade players until a certain point in the season. You can drop players and add players that are available.
Finally, the draft. You need to know who is having a good preseason, who is injured, past performance, and who you think will do well, and when their bye week is. If you haven't done an online draft it is almost like an instant messenger/chat room. We will pick the time and all log in at the appointed time to draft. Each team will be assigned a draft position and the rounds in an 8 team league would go:
Round One: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8
Round Two: 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
Round Three: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8
Round Four: 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
Etc, etc etc. So you can see the team drafting first is blessed and cursed as they will make a pick then in round two pick last but then starts off round three so they get picks #1,16,17,32,33 etc. Here's another example Team 5 will draft #5,12,21,28 etc etc etc. The time limit to make your pick is usually 90 seconds before it moves on to the next player. The system usually makes the pick for you based on who it feels is the highest rated player despite their playing position at the time of your pick.
So between drafting the right players and then starting the right players while sitting others are the main keys to the game. Even the all pro's have bad games and sometimes the guy filling in for and injured player steps up and has a big game or the average running back likes to have his way against a divisional rival and has big games against them. It's up to you to make the right choices who to start and who to sit.
Any questions rookies?
Thanks! Shouldnt be a problem. I didnt know if you ment we were gonna do the draft on here or is there a site for that? other than that i guess i need to get up on the players :thumbsup: Oh and if the draft is done on here then is there a site i could go to and put my guys names in to see how they did or do i have to keep track of all that? Thanks again!
