2 team league? (1 Viewer)

[1970's Oakland Raiders Secondary]

Are there any sites out there that allow 2 teams in a league that allow super rosters? Ex: Start 5 QBs, 10 RBs, 15 WRs, 5 TEs, 5 Ks, 5 DEF?

I wanna go head to head with a buddy of mine for the entire season.

Espn doesn't allow 2 teams and Yahoo doesn't allow that many starters. Anyone know of a league that would accomodate this?

Do you really need automated scoring for this?

mfl?

are you going to do head to head and a playoff system?

Actually yes.3 pots ...Winner of weeks 1 to 7 weeks wins pot AWinner of weeks 8 to 14 wins pot BWeek 15 would be the superbowl and would win the considerably smaller pot C

when you are done drafting, please spare us the "rate my team" thread to follow...

You should do it! This way when you post a question and people say "2 team league?" you can honestly say "Yes!"

I love this idea. I've been saying for years that a 2-team league is the truest test of skill in the entire "sport" of fantasy football. You have so much depth that you can laugh off injuries, you have so many starters that one breakout performance (like LJ in '05 or LT in '06) isn't enough to carry your squad, and no matter what, you have a chance at every player in the entire league except for LT. It's basically a straight up, "yours against mine" competition to see whose rankings were better after all.

With that said, if you're trying to do "super-rosters", I'd definitely go a heckuvalot "superer" than that. Try 12 starting QBs, 18 starting RBs, 24 starting WRs, 12 starting TEs, 12 starting PKs, and 12 starting Defenses.

Be sure to put your team in your sig.

Despite the idiiotic replies thus far, the original question has yet to be considered, much less answered.

I've done a 2 team league before vs. a friend of mine. We just drafted a lot of players each.

Myfantasyleague.com will support 80 players on the roster for each team. I would use them.

Thanks for the help. Are they free?

Legitamately, the reason why this is no fun is that the teams are so stacked that it turns it into 90% luck and 10% skill on who wins every week, but to each his own.

H2H FF is mostly luck, no matter how many teams their are.

In a 12-team league that starts 1 QB, 2 RB, and 3 WRs, then on any given week there will be 12 starting QBs, 24 starting RBs, and 36 starting WRs. In a 2-team league that starts 12 QBs, 18 RBs, and 24 WRs (such as the one I suggested), then on any given week there will be 24 starting QBs, 36 starting RBs, and 48 starting WRs. Think about it- there are going to be 12 QBs starting in the two-team league that wouldn't get a sniff of the action in the 12-teamer. If you thought that RBs were scarce in a 12-teamer, imagine having to fill out your #18 starting RB job with a guy that no self-respecting 12-teamer would have in the game for him.In a normal 12-team league, teams are so shallow that a single injury can wreck the season, and a single mind-blowing year can carry you to a championship (take a guess as to what percentage of Tomlinson owners made the playoffs last year). That's not skill, that is pure, unadulterated LUCK. In a 12 team league, there is a roughly 0% chance of your RBs outscoring Tomlinson + some scrub off the street, even if you have two legitimate top-10 guys. In a 2-team league, even if the other owner lucks into a monster season like Tomlinson's, it'll be pretty easy for your RBs to still outscore him if your rankings were significantly more accurate than his (i.e. if you wind up with S-Jax, Gore, Jones-Drew, and LJ, while he's busy drafting guys like Shaun Alexander, Ronnie Brown, and LaMont Jordan). Also, if you lose a stud to injury, you have enough depth in your roster to absorb the hit and keep on rolling.In a 12-team league, whichever team stays healthy and lucks into a few unexpectedly huge performances will win 9 times out of 10. In a 2-team league, injuries and lucky seasons mean nothing- whoever has the better rankings is going to win 9 times out of 10. I would say that a league where the person with the better rankings wins more consistently is the league that requires less luck, but maybe that's just me.

There is definitely merit to what SSOG is saying here, two team leagues are the ultimate challenge for bragging rights between two folks. The better drafter/more accurate predictor should win the league at close to a 100% clip.Even though I am in a gazillion leagues I'd be interested in trying this out with someone if they are interested

Just my .02, but a 2-team league could be intriguing if you started LESS players, not more.

For example, you start just one QB, one RB, one WR, one TE, one K, one D and (maybe) one flex.

Also, no bench. You have to drop a great player to get one. Lots of strategy involved, since you really have to go with your gut and play matchups, and it costs you to "hang on" to one great guy. The loser of the last game gets first pick in the coming week's "draft."

Set up a ten team league in yahoo, you get five teams, your buddy gets five teams. Add up the scores from your five teams, add up the scores from his five teams, whoever has the most points wins.

Please keep us posted about how this goes.
