WERA BBS fantasy football 2014

New year, new thread. Please post a commitment here if you're a 2013 player and want to play again, or if you're not playing.

Payment before the draft, first game, whatever... But it's gonna be before the season starts.

Other than that, let's hash out what rule changes or other tweaks people want.

 

Here here....waivers are the biggest rule change for me.

 

May I play again?

 

I think I'm with you on that one

Of course, ya knucklehead! . You played last year didn't you?

 

Just figured I better ask.

Thanks.

 

In.

Pay before draft

Yes PPR

Cut back number of bench players to open up waiver wire / trades.

Lever still sucks

 

Hell yea I am in to talk shit this year and then cry about it after the season.

I just got off the phone with the bank to see about a loan, should know this afternoon if I am approved so I am not late paying this year. Fingers crossed

NO ppr

Waiver should be, guy in frist place is last on waviers right?

Yahoo yes

Lever sucks yes

thats all

 

Yes and yes.

 

I'm in!

Here are my thoughts on the rules:

1. $50 must be paid by July 26th (timing is when most camps start) in order to be a part of the league
2. PPR can stay
3. Waiver priority list should be random and not bsed upon who's the "Lever" of the league
4. Bench = 6 players
5. 10 team league

 

Quoted from the 2013 thread. I want all of this. Everything else was perfect. I liked last years bench size (which was already down one from the previous year)

 

Were there any trades last season?

 

There were a couple. It was the year before (on espn) that left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. That season had 7 players on the bench. Last season was 6, and I thought it was perfect. Any less than that and the people who did their homework and drafted well aren't rewarded.

 

True, but the shorter bench would mean you would have to decide when to make sacrifices and when to make trades. More interaction for the owners.

Either way is fine for me. I plan to lead the league in free agent pickups, anyway.

If Lever plays, can I just skip the draft and beat his butt with my pick of the leftovers?

 

1. I say we up the juice a little, but I really don't care.
2. Yes PPR
3. I disagree with this. I like Big Birds method on this one
4. I think a 5 player bench is reasonable and fair but I'm cool with 6 too. 7 was too big and 4 is nuts small.
5. We're gonna do 12 again. So far the only person out is Yzass, and Papa is taking her spot.

 

Okay, so for a current tally:

Myself
Sprinky
Talbott
Anupe
Big Bird
Papa
Dragn
Laffoon
Drew
Mag (commented in the 13 thread recently... You want in right?)
Doug K (you did say you wanted in in the 2013 thread, right?)

We have not heard from Lever yet but I checked and he hasn't logged in since the 2nd so it may take a little bit before he sees this. He has been pretty quiet around here recently though.

 

The sacrifices and trades make it more of a week to week type game, if that's what people are after. Personally, I prefer a different method, but I can understand why people like Lever would want to ditch their teams by the time we get to bye weeks.

 

I'm with you, I'm more a draft based believer, combined with waiver claims. Every year there's 3-4 that end up as must starts.

I've been playing since around 2000 or so and I've never been in a league that traded a lot, and some of those leagues had pretty small benches.

 

I think trades come down to knowing/trusting the other players. I've traded in every season so far. But, without the face to face contact, sometimes it can be hard to work things out. It doesn't help when there are one or two people who like to throw out crap and see if anything sticks.

 

You mean by the time pre-season is over, right?
