BG FFL 2009: Champion incoming.

[Fistandantilus]

I'll bet money I'll miss either BGP, BGW or 20man draft because I'm not paying attention at all to draft dates.

Same here... unless Aki reminds me!

[Plow]

Ok so, 20 man league draft date set for Tuesday the 8th, 9:15 eastern.

Set to 4 divisions (it won't let me do any more than that), with division winners + 4 wild cards.

I still have it set to week 14/15/16 for playoffs... a couple people said they'd like it to go to 17, but I really hate that idea >.> what's everyone think?


I'd really hate to see someone get to the finals, have their qb get benched to rest and not have access to another that will start, or other crap like that, decide the champ.

[tyven]

im not in the league, but never EVER go to week 17. that shit is fantasy suicide

[tyven]

my most serious league, with a $315 dollar buy-in has the championship week 15 just so there is no doubt

[Plow]

That's always been my philosophy too, I don't understand why people hate it so much.

I also don't get why people like QB's to score 2-3x as many points as anyone else in the league either.

[Squeelch]

I think you have it set-up fine, although if QBs are scoring twice as many points I would like to see that change too. With 20 teams I can't see that working too well.

On that note, is there a site that actually does 20-team mock drafts? Seems the most I can find is 14 team ones.

[Plow]

I have it set up so that QB's should score similar to top rb or wr. But it's been requested that I change that >.>

Not sure about 20 team mock drafts, I'll look around later, got a bunch of work to do here in a bit.

[tyven]

hold steady on your qb scoring plow.

Not only will I win...I'll win with Clutch.

So here's my team from another league I'm doing. I was second in order for the league, 12 people.

Spoiler: show

Tom Brady QB
Steve Smith (CAR) WR
Hines Ward WR
Lance Moore WR
Adrian Peterson RB
Jonathan Stewart RB
John Carlson TE
Kris Brown K
Pittsburgh DEF
--And my bench:
Darren Sproles RB
Chad Pennington QB
Jeremy Maclin WR
Le'Ron McClain RB
Steve Smith (NYG) WR
Patrick Clayton WR

Which I think is a solid team. My week 1 opponent and one of my best friends has:

Spoiler: show

Kurt Warner QB
Randy Moss WR
Terrell Owens WR
DeSean Jackson WR
Brandon Jacobs RB
Darren McFadden RB
Chris Cooley TE
Neil Rackers K
New England DEF
--Bench:
Joseph Addai RB
Ten Ginn Jr. WR
Donald Brown RB
Kyle Orton QB
Issac Bruce WR
Tim Hightower RB

I feel like I'm going to get rocked.

So here's my team from another league I'm doing. I was second in order for the league, 12 people.

Adrian Peterson RB

Who did the guy with the #1 pick take?

[Gadritan]

My guess is Forte.

Edit: Or Brees. I see a lot of ppl picking him up as a number 1...guess it depends on how strong QBs are for pts in your league.

[Tyr]

How early did you get Brady?
I don't like your WRs, nor do I like Jonathan Stewart this year. I think Maclin/NYG Smith will outproduce one of your two current starters. How early did you spend a pick on Pitt?

Also, if Randy goes off, you're guaranteed the TDs from having Brady. I don't see Owens having success until a few weeks into the season.

Jones-Drew

I got Brady in Round 3, I was #2 so I got him on the back-turn after picking Steve Smith in R2. Pittsburgh was R5 I think. Looking back, it was actually R7.

[Weltall]

You really think Forte or Brees was going to go over MJD? lol....come on

MJD in PPR is the clear-cut #1 this year. People taking AP will regret it

I've taken MJD in every #1 mock I've been in this year.



Edit - Why did you take Steve Smith over Roddy White or Boldin? You should have taken White.

You also took Jon Stewart over Lendale? Stewart is having one of the worst camps this offseason, can't stay on the field, and doesn't even get close to the % of redzone carries as LenDale White....good lord have mercy....

/slap

That draft was horrible... ppl took NYG Defense in round 5? Jason Witten at 3.03? Man, I would have massacred that league...

[Tyr]

BARBER 3RD OVERALL!?

DEANGELO WILLIAMS IN ROUND TWO!?


GAHERKIR RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE

Quite a few of the people participating had no idea what they were doing, and I myself don't follow the training camps intently besides Eagles camps and get all other info from friends. One of the teams, for instance, has five QBs drafted, two of whom are Vick and McNabb...I'm taking this league the least seriously of my three, so I'm not too worried about it.

[Gadritan]

JStew won't be -that- bad, though I wouldn't put him in over a true starter. He'll be seeing more reps this year (if he stays healthy), and being a 3rd down/goaline back as well he should turn out some decent numbers TD wise. So he's still a decent bench RB.

Hell...he had more yrds than Jones-Drew last year and only 2 TDs less.



@Weltall: That was based on current trends in drafts. Those that take QBs first (for whatever reason, usually first timers) usually scoop up Brees. Why do you think Forte is such a bad pick? Seriously? People are still taking Williams in round 1. JStew is due to take more reps this year as well as adding Goodson into the mix. There's no fucking way in hell Williams is going to produce like he did last year. (Though I'd be pleasantly surprised if he proves me wrong, lol). MJD, AP, Forte, Turner, it's a toss up between them imo. Looks like you're just fishing and hoping with some of those comments.
