Madden BFL - Fantasy NFL League interest?

    Thought I might put this out there in the downtime before Season 3 kicks off. Probably a bit early, but the NFL draft has piqued my interest, and pretty bored until draft next Wednesday (looks like anyway).

    Who's interested in joining a BFL Fantasy NFL league?

    Could just get an interest list together for the moment, would be great to play with people you know, and know anyone from this league will be active and interested.
    After people are interested can decide type of league (one-year wonder, keeper and the like) and rules etc.

    Yeah the boards league was a bit of a disaster. Might aswell have been doing one of the NFL leagues.

    Could we use nfl.com instead? It's where my other league is on and I think it's just a better fantasy setup.

    Used both last year (and sportsline.com previously), found ESPN much better for customisation and stats. Especially for a league this big where we plan on making our own rules etc. the League Manager feature gives a lot more options than nfl.com
    Also found ESPN app a little easier to use
    Will be doing up a poll to decide rules of the league in a while so we can determine format.

    Seeing as this has been highlighted again, and I'm in work on the bloody bank holiday Monday, thought I would get started on it. Invites being PM'd to you guys today.

    Also, I have a list of things that I thought we could vote on to decide league format. If you have any other suggestions as to what decisions we should make for the league, add them in and I will add stuff to the poll I'm creating.

    1. Draft type - Snake or Auction?
    2. Roster makeup i.e. number starters at each position, include flex, bench, IR spots
    3. Keepers - Yes or no? How many? If so, what is price you pay to keep them next year (draft spot or $ value?)
    4. Free Agent pickups - Waiver wire? Free Agent Auction Bids? Waiver period?
    5. Scoring - pretty standard for RB/TE/WR.
    QB's, kickers and Defense can vary though.
    Include Points per Catch?
    Points - 1 point for every 10 yards or 0.1 points for every yard?
    6. Number of teams making playoffs? Playoffs one-week or two-week matches?
    7. Trade review/veto system
    8. Draft picks tradeable?

    Those are just the ones I could think of anyway

    Thanks Mathhew, but have created an actual poll on surveytool.com for this.
    Once have ideas from everyone on what we should be voting on, will finalise it and put the link up for everyone to vote.
    Whole thing much easier that way
