NFL Fantasy League

CSF

Anyone interested in doing one of these (for cash obviously so people actually have a reason to maintain interest) among the FSAers this year? Assuming its able to start in September that is!!



I know that they have their own one in a separate forum, but at least if we keep it among semi-regular FSAers we're less likely to be hustled (this would be my first time playing anyway).


Was looking at doing it in the following structure:
Using the official NFL fantasy game

14 teams
20 euro each
13 games in regular season
Top 6 teams make playoffs (top 2 get a bye)
Week 14 Quarter Final
Week 15 Semi Final
Week 16 FSA Bowl


No idea if the notion of getting 14 people in is overly optimistic and if so we'd need to revise structure.


Probably do the draft on the Sunday night the week before the league starts.

I’m definitely interested.

Know I am definitely more of a lurker than a poster in here (really appreciate this forum!) but would definitely be up for getting involved if you need numbers...

Happy to throw my name in the hat for this

Count me in also but is the draft open to being moved nights? Usually run my own draft that sunday night

I’d nearly advise against it fellas, fantasy NFL is much more addictive than FPL, it’s taken my focus completely from FPL.

But it is absolutely brilliant

I'd have an interest but anytime I looked, it seems really complicated.

From my reading of it, it doesn’t seem to be that complicated, other than the fact that yardage is a big part of it.

The game is all about stats anyway, fantasy nfl is quite simple once you have a basic understanding.

Usually it’s 1 quarterback, 2 running backs, 3 wide receivers, 1 tight end, 1 flex which can be a WR RB or TE
1 kicker and 1 teams defence.
Usually 6 bench spots

All games are head to head

Score points for yards gained (1 point for 10 yards) , receptions (1 point), touchdowns (6 points)
QB gets a point for each 25 yards thrown and 6 for a TD

Just in case anybody is interested,
At the moment on the fantasy nfl forum they are looking for players to play in a Boards dynasty league,
This is absolutely the ultimate fantasy game, you draft at the beginning and you keep that roster every year, obviously trading is allowed and encouraged, draft for rookies every year,
This is seriously good fun
There’s 5 or 6 in, we need 12
Anybody interested can PM me or check out the thread on the fantasy football forum
It will be 20euro per year

Is it year 1 of the dynasty or has everyone already got squads from previous years?

It’s a startup, could be very good,

I would probably be interested. Is it a reliable money collector that you know or are we running the risk of getting swindled?

It hasn’t been discussed who holds the money, I’m sure it’s legit

Have you given this any more thought @CSF?

There’s still about 5 spots left for anybody who’s interested

I think the commissioner of the league has to do that, I’ve asked him to message you

If you need any help with dynasty you can message me anytime

You’ll need to install the sleeper app

Feel we are getting a little off track of the original point of the thread here. Would be hoping we can pull in a few more to fill the numbers

Sorry pal, that’s my fault

Redraft leagues will fill a bit closer to the season, the dynasty leagues need to get set a bit earlier, I didn’t want to create a new thread as this isn’t the forum for it

This is the Fantasy Sports Arena not the Fantasy Premier League Arena so yes it is the forum for it.

Think it’s more a case of lack of interest rather than room.

It’ll fill in a couple of days, have you signed up?

I was talking about the one I was posting about in this thread. Not so much interest. I will sign up to the dynasty one yeah, just need the details.

Says the league is full

Sorry, it did fill late yesterday evening, obviously a first come first served situation

I think it was the draft aspect and the head-to-head that threw me, and the official site didn't have an explanation. I'd still be keen to dip my toe in in an FSA league (not with the pros/sharks in the fantasy football forum!)

Green&Red

I’d give the FSA version a punt

Pun intended

Boots234

I follow the NFL but have never considered how the fantasy game works so would be a complete novice but am willing to give it a go if ye are stuck for numbers

Shedite27

Definitely in if there's a space

CSF can you clear your private message inbox so I can message you, thanks. Sorry for interrupting folks.. if anyone knows CSF personally and can reach him to let him know to do this it would be great, trying to add him to an NFL league...cheers

Bump.

Been listening to a few podcasts this week which has whetted my appetite. Also looking forward to booing the commish on draft night.

CSF

Yeah I definitely want to do it. Just can’t figure out if we actually have the interest.

If I set it up and asked to take payment tonight, how many people would sign up there and then?

The above is not a rhetorical question.

I would

Let’s hope we end up with more than just the 4 of us. Think minimum 8 would be needed.

No rush this evening. Plenty of time.

count me in

The real mccoy 91

Count me in I'm happy to commit

CSF

Ok, looks like we have movement. Do we want to do the draft in one go with quick intervals or a longer draft that could take a week or so with people having maybe 4 hours on the clock?

The real mccoy 91

I would think that if we gave enough notice we would be better off trying to bang it out in one night that suits everyone
