ILNFL™ 2010 Fantasy Football League: Now 100% Jamarcus-free!!!

Yeah, I know it's only the 8th of June, and setting up a league three months before kickoff indicates some symptom of addiction or whatever, but here it is! ILNFL™ 2010! I left the settings in their Yahoo defaults for the most part. Reduced waivers time from 2 days to 1 day, changed QB passing tds from 4 to 6 points, added one more player to the bench than we had last year. Other than that, it's pretty basic and non-fucked-with. It's set at 10 teams right now, but I'll be honest...I wouldn't complain if we actually had just 8 people sign up. Better quality draft, better quality season. Think it over or jump on board. It's been set up.

I would, but I was really lazy last year about playing. So I'm gonna sit out -- if it gets close and you need me tho as an 8th, I'll sign up.

It's never too early for fantasy football!! I am in and I got my team all set up and I am ready to go!!

Sweet!

I'm innerested in joining this year

I will join to avenge my father!

Yes, count me in.

Wow, five already. Part of me really wants to cap this at 8 instead of 10. Anyone want to talk me out of it?

I joined! How does less people make it more fun? Is it because you don't want to be stuck starting some 3rd string RB?

Right.

It's not fun to field a really weak team, and it's likewise not that much of an accomplishment to beat a really weak team.

it is if you do it with a really weak team

well that's true.

I skipped '09, but I think I'd like to be in it this year.

I don't mind an 8 person league, but if that's the case, considering how quickly this one filled up I could imagine there being enough demand for 2?

Dang, 9 teams already.

purely my opinion - league should be big and stupid much like a message board. Worry about limits when it comes to $$$ leagues.

i am in. 8 is too few teams imo. reminds of the small rosters we had 2(?) years ago, where everyone had blue chip players on the bench. 10 is prob the sweet spot. 12 is better than 8.

I would move to a 2nd small league rather than be in a huge league. Small leagues = good test of bench management ability.

that's a good point

how is it a good test? your team will be more stocked with obvious choices.

right but the more top tier players you have, the more likely you'll have to make a difficult decision

(between two good players for one spot)

it's not a difficult decision if they're both good, because it hardly matters. it's a difficult decision if they are both average players and you have to look at the matchups carefully.

Yeah, because I'll inevitably pick Peyton Manning on a day that fucking Chad Henne throws for 400 yards and 5 scores. xp

I mean it's between
"wow I have an awesome team, but who do I choose to play?"
and
"lol oh man my team sucks, how do I scrap together a team from 2nd tier players?"

I guess those are sorta two different types of 'difficult' but the first type is (ime) more fun cause you get an awesome team

it doesn't hardly matter, cause your opponent has a relatively better team too. you have to look at the matchups just as much and make the best decision - you're more likely to be picking up points on gameday, but so's the other side

xp

That's our ten!

See y'all in September. :D

noooooooo!

can we do 12 pls!

what kind of shit is capping at 10 teams

small leagues are boring!

know something about football imo

I really do want you dudes to play too, I like you guys. But 12 teams and 20 rounds will exhaust the draft pool to the point of the whole season being a wash for a lot of people.

man i really think 12 is doable

in the nfl there are 32 starting qbs, 32 starting rbs & 64 starting WRs btw

just have one less bench spot

Okay, I'll put it up to the other 9 folks who've already joined: open it up to 12 teams and one less bench spot? Yea or nay?

yea

As long as 12 is the absolute upper limit, okay.

while i am cool with 12 teams it is a shame that the extra spots have to be wasted on cad and j sarge.

12... 10... however many you want. its ok by me! im just happy to be here, man.

Bumped it to 12 teams, reduced it by one bench position.

This is for J0rdan and cad only. If anyone else tries to sneak in, I'll kick you.

i'm in and i <3 you all

can i ask for the draft not 2 be on a thursday pls

There was a problem

* This league is full. (Error #221)

Someone snuck in ahead of you. OUT YOURSELF, HEATHEN!

Did you get a list when it was at 10? I have an idea who it was, but I don't know for sure.

call all destroyer came in Saturday, but so did Roberto (I thought you joined earlier?).

I recognize everyone from last year (or years past) except -----. Who dat?

it's iatee

u don't have to kick him out

Are you sure you pressed the button twice to confirm your drop/add? I mean, you know what you're doing, I know, but I've been fucked that way before by forgetting to take the process all the way to fruition. Otherwise, I don't know what to do. Do you take it up with Yahoo or do I?

no, i definitely did not pull a calvin johnson. i followed through all the way. i had five different acquisitions lined up in order of priority. brandon jackson was my #1. my second choice (brandon tate) went through, but it looks like it was after rex ryan express already made two transactions. that doesn't seem right.

Hmm, the only thing I can think is to not pay attention to the times that are shown that correlate with the waiver pickups. There's probably a Yahoo supercomputer somewhere that sorts it all and then drops players into peoples rosters in lumps instead of neat and orderly. Like, it may LOOK like rrx got all his waiver picks before you got your first, but it probably just looks that way in the list.

ah, i think you're right. if jackson was actually rex ryan's first choice and he got him w/ his first claim, then everything else would make sense.

rex ryan express here
jackson was my first choice
and at the start of the day I had the #1 waiver priority

on the subject of waivers, after the waiver deadline do undrafted (non/dropped) players still need to go through waivers to be added or are they free agents and can get picked up on a first come first serve basis? I ask because I did a drop/add of meachem for lloyd this morning and it immediately went through before my waivers started

There's a free agency period every week for players who aren't already on rosters or who haven't been dropped into waivers. The "official" waiver period lasts from kickoff on Sunday to Wednesday morning...after that everyone's up for grabs until kickoff the next Sunday (UNLESS a player has been dropped by someone to get a different player, or just dropped altogether...then they have their own waiver period).

thanks, that makes it clear.

looks like yahoo also was experiencing some kind of problem in processing waivers this week. there's a message from them at the top of our league page apologizing for the delay. perhaps that's why jbn was able to pick up lloyd before all the other waiver claims went through.

i had won when i went to bed, but now rex ryan picked up a couple points from adjustments to move into the lead...

frank gore is on tonight so I doubt my lead is gonna hold

here we go again w/ the wacky waivers.

What's wacky?

when i got on my computer this morning, nobody else's claims were showing. again, rex ryan's express got preferential treatment. five different drop/adds by rex ryan's express were showing, no one else's were.

i don't think it actually affected the order we each got our players, but still...WTF? why can't yahoo show all the transactions in the order they take effect?

everyone else's claims didn't show up for over two hours. that's jacked.

Mike
I didn't put any claims for guys on waivers
all my picks were free agents who were unclaimed during the waiver period
When I checked the available players this morning the players that had waiver claims on them, like knowshon moreno and darren mcfadden, were unavailable to select as free agents.

If I had gotten preferential treatment I would have selected Knowshon Moreno and Darren McFadden instead of my wacky waivers of Hightower and Tolbert
the problem, i guess, is that yahoo doesn't list the waiver selections before the free agent selections

guys, in the big league we discovered that Yahoo sets up the waivers so that the first person gets ALL their picks and then it moves on to the next player. You may be having a similar issue? Or not, I'm not clear what's happening with you.

Yeah, like jbn said, I was up early this morning too and I could already see which players had been claimed off waivers even though I didn't know who they'd gone to. All I knew is that I couldn't claim them myself, but could claim any player that had gone directly into free agency.

As for the method Yahoo uses for ordering waivers processing, I don't know. I had though it went through first choices down the list, then second choices down the list, and so on. But if it gives the first person ALL their picks before moving on, that's kind of crappy.

I get what you guys are saying and it makes sense. But I'm saying...why the hell does Yahoo do that? If it's already reflecting which players are not available to claim b/c waiver claims have been placed on them at that hour in the morning, then why doesn't it just show them in the list of transactions and have them placed on those managers' teams at that point. it's just dumb is all i'm saying. do not like.

hats off to the savage mall-walkers on a pretty impressive sunday night & monday night comeback that put me away this week. brandon marshall & jermichael finley are monsters.

That was close!

I have somehow managed to drop to 1-2-0 here, which is only 1 game better than the humongous league. It's just not my year, I suppose.

dropping desean jax really working out for me so far

Thought I was in good shape after the early games, but it looks like a coin flip now unless Mariani returns a couple for TDs.

who? marriucci?

thank you for that garbage time td chris johnson

oh wait was that against you?

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

aaaaargh

leading in points but i'm 4-3

losing with 162 points. that is exceptionally annoying. the part of me that is not consumed by the glory of beating someone who got 162 points feels for you.

good game, fatty

on pins and needles here, why the fuck didnt the giants kick a field goal on 4th and 1 with an 18 point lead

Thanks for all your help last night, Vernon Davis! >:(

i have been vick'd. yet again. he got both the passing and rushing bonuses!!

hey maw i'm in the final!

ready to take you on, fatty.

i am VERY MUCH looking forward to a repeat of the 35 point beatdown you gave me three weeks ago.

**B SPIRALS 2 FINALS 0 WINS TOUR XMAS 2010**

UH-OH. You're off to a hot start thanks to Jamaal Charles & Dwayne Bowe. I've got some climbing back to do now.

looks like tuesday night gonna be huge

+ i'm winning both finals so far
- i'm not winning either by anything like the kind of margin i need to be

basically need the iggles to completely fail on O. or maybe that game can just get cancelled outright. it wouldn't be the end of the world if we just dropped a game from the schedule. it is very cold out.

it wouldn't be the end of the world if we just dropped a game from the schedule. it is very cold out.

Frontrunner for Week 17 thread title.

it's gonna be close, but i think i've got the slight edge.

Didn't you win last year too? Carpetbagger!

can vick pull it out? exciting final!

good effort team. can't be too disappointed with 160 points. except you, desean. fuck you.

woooooheeee! too bad this wasn't a money league.

I won my rl money league, so am feeling magnanimous. Congrats, Mr. Benedict!!!
