Tim's Fantasy Football League 2018- Link for draft in OP (1 Viewer)

[The Ref]

Got it. 

Everyone’s paid except for Stuart Ullman

You mean Refman....

Paid!

 

[timschochet]

OK 

everyone has paid.

i will now set up a random order and we can begin drafting, though the clock will not start until Monday. 

 

[timschochet]

OK here is the order for round 1. (Serpentine draft). I used Research Randomizer. This will also be posted in the OP: 

1. Stuart Ullman

2. quartz

3. cheese

4. eoMMan

5. Bonzai

6. Dschuler

7. timschochet

8. Short Corner

9. Moe

10. bucksoh

11. Binky the Doormat

12. flapgreen

13. jvdesigns2002

14. jon mx

15. bananafish

16. Psychobillies

Some notes:

1. The draft clock starts this Monday, 10 am -7 pm est, 1 hour per pick. But people can start drafting right away. 

2. Hopefully someone can keep an excel sheet of all picks and link it here. I don’t have time for this this coming week. 

3. If your team name is different from your name here please post it. For example, my team is Timmy’s Titans. I will post all of these in the OP. 

4. Once all 16 rounds of the draft is complete, flapgreen will enter them into the website and provide us a link. He is running the league. 

Good luck to all! This is the year I win this. I can feel it. 

 

[eoMMan]

Big thanks to tim and flapgreen for doing all this work! 

I'll flip you guys a couple bucks after I win.

 

[The Ref]

Nice job Tim - way to keep it “Fair”

 

[flapgreen]

@Stuart Ullman pick when ready 

 

[flapgreen]

I'm guessing my odds of getting the top RB and qb this year are next to zero. So I'll likely be finishing in 16th instead of 9th. Effing bull####! 

 

[The Ref]

@Stuart Ullman pick when ready 

We need to think about this one.  Is Sam Darnold still available?

 

[flapgreen]

We need to think about this one.  Is Sam Darnold still available?

No. 

 

[Stuart Ullman]

#1 Darnold Fan. Think we have to take him here. No way he makes it back to us on the turn.

 

[timschochet]

New rule #1 “The UCLA Gambit”

Before drafting a player who atended USC, a player who attended UCLA must first have been chosen each time. 

 

[The Ref]

1.01 Todd Gurley RB STL

 

[dschuler]

1.01 Todd Gurley RB STL

[quartz]

1.02 Ezekiel Elliot RB Dallas

 

[timschochet]

Yes but there’s no clock. 

 

[timschochet]

1.02 Ezekiel Elliot RB Dallas

New rule #2. No players with 4 or more syllables in their first name may be drafted except by the creator of this thread. 

 

[psychobillies]

Yes but there’s no clock. 

Ok.  I'll check in when I can.

 

[flapgreen]

@cheese your pick 

 

[flapgreen]

After you make your pick, please tag the next person 

 

[Short Corner]

Are the scoring rules posted some where?

 

[cheese]

1.3 Le’Veon Bell

@eoMMan

 

[timschochet]

Are the scoring rules posted some where?

They haven’t been set yet. Once the draft is over flapgreen and I will discuss them. It’s different for each player in this league. 

 

[Binky The Doormat]

I have played other fbg leagues for years but never this one. 

cheese is a long time FF hustler.  

 

[Binky The Doormat]

can somebody please find last year's thread?  I cannot find it.  

 

[eoMMan]

1.04 - David Johnson, RB

@Bonzai

 

[jon_mx]

So by what method was I screwed into the 14th position?  I was 13th last year.  Where do I submit my formal protest too?

quit your complaining I was 13 two years in a row lucked out and draft 10 this year!

 

[jon_mx]

Something is a foul here. I am drafting a cease and desist order right now.  

 

[eoMMan]

16 rounds

9 starters: 1 qb, 2 RB, 2WR, 1 flex, TE, K, DEF

standard scoring PPR

6 players make playoffs with 2 byes

1st Place 60% 2nd Place 30% 3rd Place 10%

We’ll go with 14 but at any time before everyone pays two more can join in. Once everyone pays the league is closed, I will use randomized to set an order and we can start drafting. Questions? 

Tim, can you put this info in the 1st post of this thread?

Thanks.

Correct

One of the few years where drafting at the bottom of the first is a good thing.

Random rule are what makes this lesgue.  So 2 RBs this year?  And by ppr we actually mean 1 point per reception and not 0.5?  Probably should nail down some kind of general outline for defensive scoring.   So do QB's get 4 or 6 points per TD, both are kind of standard?  

 

[timschochet]

I put you there because you piss me off.

I liked last year better for end of round 1 drafting.  This year 8 is about the sweet spot, IMHO.  

 

[jon_mx]

Completely understandable.

Again it depends on which quarterback. Some will have 4 points for TD, some 6, some 10. Yours gets zero. Flap and I will talk about this later.

As long as my kicker gets one point for extra points, I am good.  

 

[timschochet]

Tim, can you put this info in the 1st post of this thread?

Thanks.

When I get to a computer I will do it first thing. 

 

[psychobillies]

Ummm...

 

[flapgreen]

Starting off well. Bonzai's inbox has been full for the last 10 years.  Do people message him for relationship advice or something?

No wonder my requests for companionship have been ignored.

Wait, why are we changing the rules this year?  Should only be 1 RB, 1WR, and 3 Flex.

 

[eoMMan]

That changes everything.  I might have taken Gates there instead of David Johnson.

 

[timschochet]

I think we changed it last year to this. But my memory might be faulty. I don’t care one way or the other. 

 

[flapgreen]

Ah #### 

 

[Bonzai]

I think we changed it last year to this. But my memory might be faulty. I don’t care one way or the other. 

The 1 RB thing has been the gimmick of this league since day one. It's whatever to me, just thought it was weird to change it.

I can't remember. I'll look at the page from last year 

 

[Short Corner]

No TE?

 

[flapgreen]

I looked at last year.  Correct. 1 RB 1 WR 3 flex 1 TE

Same this year
