New FOFC Fantasy Football League - ESPN

[cmp]

I am looking to create a new FOFC Fantasy Football League using ESPN. I know a lot of people don't like to use ESPN but I enjoy it and would love to have an FOFC ESPN league.

Settings:

Auction Draft

10 Teams
QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, FLEX, K, D

7 Bench

Passing TD worth 6.

.04 points per passing yard.
.1 point per rushing or receiving yard


PM and respond to the post with your email if you want a spot.

$ or for fun? I have nothing against playing for fun but feel like $ (even a little bit) gives people an incentive not give up after the draft goes bad.

[cmp]

I was thinking this season just for fun, seeing how the league went and then hopefully come back next season and add a $ fee to it. But I am not at all opposed to a small entry fee if we had enough that wanted to pay.

[Danny]

Id much prefer Yahoo?

[cmp]

Id much prefer Yahoo?

There's already a few FOFC Yahoo leagues, personally I enjoy ESPN better so I wanted to make a league on ESPN.

[Danny]

Ah ok, I'll monitor it, but I think im full on free leagues. Yahoo makes it more tempting since my other leagues are there and it makes it easier to check in

[msubball]

I'd like a spot, pm sent.

[britrock88]

Curious, at least. Only scoring difference is per-yard scoring and the 50% bump to pass TDs?

[MacroGuru]

Im in, sending a PM..it will be a joint team with my son...he wants to get into fantasy football.

[cmp]

Curious, at least. Only scoring difference is per-yard scoring and the 50% bump to pass TDs?

[Marmel]

I have never done an auction draft, but sounds fun. Do we know when the draft will be?

[Chief Rum]

I'm down for this.

Any thoughts on making it a PPR league?

[Arles]

I would do it as well.

[britrock88]

Yup those are about the only changes. Trying to keep it fairly standard.

Solid. Wish the league I had RG3 and Brady in last year had that scoring...

Count me in.

[cmp]

Just send me a pm with your email or post it here and I'll send you an invite.

Invites sent to those who have pm'd or posted here already.

[cmp]

7 of 10 spots filled so far.

[cubboyroy1826]

Any ideas on when we are looking at drafting?

[Danny]

Ok, I'll join. Would like it if we can all put up somewhere from $10-$25 though.

[BYU 14]

I'm in

[cmp]

We are all full as of now. Looking at a draft of Wednesday, August 21st at 8 EST currently.

[britrock88]

Ok, I'll join. Would like it if we can all put up somewhere from $10-$25 though.

I'd throw in a token amount, if it'll help keep you all honest.

[cmp]

How many are able to hold the draft Wednesday the 21st at 8 EST.

[Chief Rum]

How many are able to hold the draft Wednesday the 21st at 8 EST.

It's early enough that I should be able to keep that off from my second job.

[Danny]

It's early enough that I should be able to keep that off from my second job.

CUtting it a little close for me, but should be able to make it

[cubboyroy1826]

I will not available that day until about 9:30 EST. I coach two soccer teams and our practice finishes up at 8pm CST. If I am the only who cannot make it then I can step down and I am sure someone else can take my place. Either way no biggee.

[cmp]

Any other times work for the majority? How about a Sunday evening? The 25th? Or even later on a weeknight? 9 EST? 9:30? 10?

[BYU 14]

Any other times work for the majority? How about a Sunday evening? The 25th? Or even later on a weeknight? 9 EST? 9:30? 10?

I can do a Sunday evening/afternoon and later on weeknight works too, I get home at 7 from practice, but that is 10 EST, which is kind of late for folks in that time zone

[Danny]

Those should all be fine with me

[cubboyroy1826]

I am good with a Sunday late afternoon or evening and the 25th would work.

[cmp]

Now looking at Sunday, August 25th at 8 PM Eastern. How does that time sound?

[Chief Rum]

Works for me.

[Arles]

Fine for me

[cubboyroy1826]

Good for me.

[SirFozzie]

Cool beans

[BYU 14]

Good for me

[Danny]

CMP, can you go ahead an replace me? This draft ended up overlapping with my money league draft.

[Danny]

Or move the draft a couple hours earlier?

[Arles]

I can't go much more than an hour earlier as I have a birthday party to attend.

[Danny]

An hour earlier should be ok, I'll may just have to leave a tough early as that would give two hour between drafts

[cubboyroy1826]

Good with me.

[cmp]

I can move it an hour or two earlier without a problem.

[Chief Rum]

I saw it was switched to earlier to compensate Danny. That's fine, but could we edge it back a little later so I can be sure to be clear of my day shift? Danny said an hour earlier would be fine (from 5 p.m. to 4 p.m. my time). A move to 3 p.m. means I am probably still at my job.

I have never done an auction draft for football before, and never a live one for any sport period. So I don't know how important it is if I am there at the start.

Even if it can't be moved up to 3:30 p.m. or 4 p.m., though, I should be in attendance at some point.

I would also appreciate a bump to 7pm EDT. As of now, I have 2 drafts right on top of each other.

[cubboyroy1826]

I am good with either time.

[Danny]

Guys, sorry my earlier change request messed it up for some of you. Maybe it can still be moved an hour later

[BYU 14]

I am good for whatever, just waiting to hear :)

[Danny]

Very happy with my draft. Only small oopsy was nominating Flacco. I didnt actually want him, but wanted to clog up other rosters with him. Was still able to get the two QBs I wanted though. Ill likely end up dropping flacco

[britrock88]

Very happy with the set of Rodgers, Foster, Green, and Gronk. Hope I get anything out of my bench.

[BYU 14]

I made a couple of bad choices, tried to bid up both Johnson and Wilson at RB hoping someone would go one more bid and went 0 for 2.

Have a couple of sleepers that could flop or surprise, hoping for the latter.

[Arles]

Pretty happy with my top 5: Matt Ryan, AP, McCoy, Demaryius and Bowe. Hopefully Eddie Lacy can be my 3rd HB and some of my depth lottery tickets pan out.

[SirFozzie]

*sets Peyton Manning, Blue Steel, and it's owner on fire before stalking off in a huff*

[Danny]

Tied an NFL record with 7 TD passes and was the first one to do it since 1969. Too bad he couldnt get 8

[Chief Rum]

*sets Peyton Manning, Blue Steel, and it's owner on fire before stalking off in a huff*

Heh heh.

It won't make you feel any better, I am sure, but in a couple other leagues I am in, I am down big time because I had to face that league's Peyton Manning owner. Ouch.

[MacroGuru]

*sets Peyton Manning, Blue Steel, and it's owner on fire before stalking off in a huff*

Saw that....laughed a little and said, oh shit, I will have to face him eventually

[SirFozzie]

Looks like barring a miracle, somehow we will beat Blue Steel (we're up 17.6, and all they have left is the Giants Kicker), Thank goodness Boldin was on the bench for Blue Steel :)

In other Week 1 games:

BHFC and Red Riders: BHFC is up 4.7 points, and has Romo going, and Andre Johnson goes tommorrow night, Red Riders need a big game from Hakeem Nicks tonight, Dez Bryant to catch any TD's Romo throws, and for Antonio Gates to have a big game tommorrow (Predicted finish by ESPN: BHFC wins by 7)

Cagney/Lacey vs Jimmy Macs Headbands: Arlie has a big lead right now (120.4-74.9) and still has LeSean McCoy going tommorrow. For the headbands to rebound, they need David Wilson and Brandon Myers to both have big games against the Cowboys tonight. (Predicted: Cagney/Lacey +38)

Hall and Oates vs Cricle The Wagons: CTW has finished their week with 101.5 points. Hall and Oates have one player left, Alfred Morris, who must score at least 16.7 points to give Hall and Oates the win. (Predicted by ESPN: Too Close to call, 101-101)

Helena Handbaskets vs Roadkill Cafe (Handbaskets lead 129-76.7): Unless the Cafe has a big offensive game (they have Cruz, Whitten and DeMarco Murray going tonight, against the Cowboys defense), Roadkill will be their status, as they appear to be the biggest loser of the week, and Arian Foster's game tommorrow night for the Handbaskets nothing more than padding the victory margin (Predicted Finish: 146-98 win for Helena)

[BYU 14]

Cagney/Lacey vs Jimmy Macs Headbands: Arlie has a big lead right now (120.4-74.9) and still has LeSean McCoy going tommorrow. For the headbands to rebound, they need David Wilson and Brandon Myers to both have big games against the Cowboys tonight. (Predicted: Cagney/Lacey +38)



Wilson sure let that part of the deal down.......Not sure if he will even get out of Coughlin's doghouse after that debut as feature back.

[SirFozzie]

Week 2 Results
FINALS
Patriots Power beats Cagney and Lacey (111.6-86)
BHFC defeat Hall and Oates (115.6-111)
Jimmy Macs Headbands defeat Roadkill Cafe (105.3-97.6)

Games NOT Final
Circle the Wagons lead Blue Steel (109.4-60.9) (BS has Bengals D left)
Red Riders lead Helena Handbaskets (99-93.8) (HH have Redman and AJ Green Left)

Only one real matchup to be decided on Monday night, where AJ Green and Isaac Redman need 52 yards combined to win (barring Fumbles or TD's)

Hall and Oates seem to be the hard luck team so far, losing their first two weeks by a mere 11 points total.

[britrock88]

Let's go, AJ!

[SirFozzie]

Week 3:

Well, last week, we said that Hall and Oates was the Hard Luck Team, but their victory over Helena Handbaskets probably transfers the title to the Handbaskets, as they lost by 2.6 Points in round 2, and topped that by losing by 1.6 points this week (78.1-76.5).

The other winners on the week:

Cagney and Lacey (2-1) over Roadkill Cafe (0-3) 108.4-99.4
BHFC (3-0) over Blue Steel (0-3) 97.7-73.4
Red Riders (2-1) over Jimmy Macs Headbands (1-2) 94.9-74.8
Patriots Power (3-0) over Circle the Wagons (2-1) 126.8-69.5

Week four matchups (spreads are computed using CURRENT teams, not optimized teams):

The big matchup is the battle of the two 3-0 teams.. someone's 0 Must Go!

Patriots Power (favored by 2.5) vs Bobby Higginson Football Club
Roadkill Cafe (favored by 2.7) vs Circle the Wagons
Blue Steel (favored by 25.3) vs Hall and Oates
Helena Handbaskets (favored by 0.9) vs Jimmy Macs Headbands
Cagney and Lacy (favored by 40.8) vs Red Riders

[britrock88]

Yeah. a 1.6-point loss with Josh Gordon on the bench. Grumble.

[cmp]

Big matchup this week between 3-0 teams. Hopefully my team can get it done.

[SirFozzie]

Well, we had three blowouts, one close game, and one game going down to monday night.

For my Patriots Power to win, New Orleans Jimmy Graham will have to outperform BHFC's (Miami Dolphin) Brian Hartline. The ESPN projection is I will do it, but it could be close.

[Chief Rum]

I hung on over Hall & Oates by the skin of my teeth.

[SirFozzie]

Did I say that Cagney and Lacey blew out Red Ridersl?

NOT SO FAST, MY FRIEND!


Drew Brees with 38 and Miami's Lamar Miller with nearly 13 points has Red Riders winning by 3 entering the fourth quarter.
