Fantasy Football Anyone want to do a CP Big Money ffb league? - Page 6

jbwm89 · 07-21-2010, 02:59 PM

Anyone who want to participate in a Fantasy Football league with a buy in of $50-$100. We can determine how much once we get enough people together, possibly by a vote. We can do yahoo, espn or whatever is the majority consensus. Something like leaguesafe wouldn't be a bad way to keep the money secure.

If your interested please post how much you would like the buy in to be, the site preferred and whatever else you want and I will get it set up.

But I will argue that it isn't rules that make a league "boring" it's the members thereof that make it worthwhile or not.
My main league though it has the most mundane settings is easily the most entertaining due to the activity of members (trading, trash talking, etc).

I don't do decimal point leagues...I think they are stupid. I really do...

and fantasy football isn't real football...

2 QB leagues, IMO, are so much more interesting because you can literally stream QB's all year long in 1 QB leagues and it totally devalues the position...

that's TRUE value of a player in an FFL league if you ask me

I tend to agree with you here.

Exceptional plays should be rewarded as such. Not the same as a 1 yard TD up the center's ass.

**Old Dog** · 07-22-2010, 01:56 PM

Any real reason decimal point leagues are stupid? I'm not trying to be an ass, just wondering why you think that.
I think it makes more sense due to the whole idea that every yard counts and it also significantly decreases the possibility of tie games.

Huh,I have nothing to do with this,I was talking about our local league that has our draft in my gameroom.

Hootie · 07-22-2010, 02:00 PM

my scoring proposal has the league so all positions are practically weighted equal...

RB's and WR's get a PPR
RB's get 1 point for every 5 carries
QB's get 1 point for every 10 completions
WR's get 2 extra points for a TD

It just makes the league A LOT MORE SKILL than a standard league where everyone drafts off the same cheat sheet...

you actually have to do your own research and make your own predictions and it feels like an actual accomplishment when you win the league or put together a great team

a 12 team league means you have to PREDICT the starting QB's...you know...the Tony Romo's of 2006 (or whatever year that was)...

I predicted he'd take over for Bledsoe...drafted skill positions first and took Drew Brees real late...followed by Romo in the last round...

had a team end up with Brees/Romo/LT and LJ (with Plaxico at WR) and it was a ****ing juggernaut and I won over a grand...

It was awesome...

THOSE are the fun leagues...

not the 1 QB...15 starters are on waivers every week...traditional scoring leagues where you can do no research, get the luckiest, and win the league since everyone is drafting off the same value chart

Which is it,you argue about devaluing positions and then if a rb gets 53 yards you want to give him 5 pts instead of 5.3.Every yard should count for something.

I will use the quote function and try to address your posts all in one post. You may try that sometime.

I TOLD YOU I WAS MOVING THAT WEEK AND HAD NO INTERNET...

I literally had no access to the computer for 10 days...except for sporadic Panera Bread Co. visits with my laptop...

That's not an issue this year asshole.

No you didn't. And you were posting pretty regularly, but wouldn't return any of my PMs, check in on the thread, etc.

yeah hahahahahahahaha

even ari paid (albeit the $10 late fee as well)...

but come on dude

pot

I have asked the commish of that league several times for a paypal address and he hasn't given it to me yet. I will definitely be paying for that league, as I have for every league I've ever paid in. I just am trying to get the payment information.

IDP is the dumbest ****ing FFL format out there

You agreed to the format. And it doesn't matter if it is a $25 league or a $25000 league. You wanted to play in it and then wouldn't even reply to a PM or reply to posts in that thread.

And, no one even asked you to play in that league. It wasn't like someone was twisting your arm. You ASKED to play by posting in that thread.

I just don't like it...

I don't like watching that MNF game and thinking...

ok...he can't score 4.2 points against me...

I like thinking...

ok I need him to rush for less than 50 yards or no TD...

shit like that

the whole decimal system...whoever introduced that (because it wasn't around when I started playing in 1998 on ESPN)...I don't like...

points should always be triggered by some sort of landmark...whether it's 10 yards, 25 yards, a TD, etc...

I don't think you should keep getting fractions of points for every single yard...it's too much

and you assumed I wouldn't pay before the season even started?

I was moving from Bloomington to Champaign...living in a temporary apartment for 10 days while I painted from 7 AM to 5 PM during turnover...

sorry if I didn't have time that week to paypal you $27.50 or whatever...It wasn't my primary worry that week and I really didn't give two shits about responding to PM's for a $25 IDP league...I pay when I pay...no league I've ever been in has a strict deadline before the draft...

and you had an entire month to put the $25 (no service charge like paypal) AFTER THE DRAFT on leaguesafe.com and you were the ONLY 1 OF 10 that didn't...

so please

again

whoever introduced the decimal trend...ugh

I just don't like it...

I mean...

if that's what it will take for everyone to agree with my proposal...then I suppose fractional points will do...

I just don't like adding up my points at a sports bar while I'm watching football and being like..

ok Fitzy got me 18.3 and LT got me 11.4 and Favre got me 22.9...

Jesus.

On your scoring options, why not .1 per rushing or receiving yard (still equates to 1 per 10 but gives credit if a guy gains something that isn't a multiplier of 10 so that every yard counts) and passing points of .2 per 5 yards?

Agreed, you have got to do the .1 or .2 per yard instead of by 10. Other than that I'll be happy however we do it.

Hootie · 07-22-2010, 02:09 PM

Just think about it though...

in ESPN traditional (4 points for QB TD's, 6 points for other TD's)...

what position always goes for the first 30 picks?

RB's

that's lame

same with any 4 point QB TD league

my proposal has adjusted the values of positions and you could literally make an argument for taking any player from any positions (sans TE) 1st...

you think Andre Johnson is going to have 125/1700/19...that's #1 pick value...

you think Brady is going to throw 50 again? that's an EASY #1 pick

CJ goes all 2009 once again? easy #1 pick value

it makes everything SO MUCH more interesting when every position is on level playing ground
