2008 Civfanatics NFL Fantasy Football

[Kraznaya]

Since Zapp Brannigan hasn't been seen since December of last year, I was figuring perhaps we should start getting this set up right now? I'm up for setting up a league and sending out invites if no one else wants to.

To be bluntly honest I haven't played fantasy before but because I've gotten addicted to GLB (Football MMORPG) lately, I'm going to have a go at it. Besides, the Rams are looking up for 08. Donnie Avery for NFL receiving leader baby!

To sign up:

The League ID: 95240
The Password: thunderfall

The direct link to the league is : http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/civfanatics

[BirraImperial]

Count me in. The San Jose Jaguars are back in the game!

 

[Kraznaya]

Nice, guys. I already have a league half-set up. Do you guys have any opinions on changes (if any) from last year's settings? And what's a good (and bad, so we don't pick them) live draft time for you guys? We need to get that laid down soon because when I was just randomly choosing times, a lot of them were already taken.

 

[Azale]

I have no idea on draft time, though it shouldn't be during normal school hours if its before August 21rst

I dunno how keen I am on changing the rules, since they seem to have worked so well for me last year. Being league champion and all

 

[BirraImperial]

I'm letting the PC choose my team this year. Can't trust myself on this one, after last year's experience, I believe auto-drafted teams fared better than those picked by humans.

 

[Kraznaya]

How does this look to everybody?

I'm in! Sign me up.

edit: i tried entering the info above but it wouldn't let me sign up, can you send me an invite? I'll pm you my info.

 

[Kraznaya]

illram, I deleted the league I set up earlier to tweak a few settings after talking with Azale, so you might just want to try again.

 

[illram]

Cool got it, thanks bud.

 

[Kraznaya]

How do you guys want to do the draft? Do you want to draw lots akin to last year or do you want to just do Yahoo's random order?

 

[cubsfan6506]

Sign me up as the cubs.
