What is Fantasy Football?

Just to ensure everyone is clear, this is what Fantasy Football is all about, very quickly. Fantasy Football is when friends get together in a league and pick their own players, from any team in the NFL, to represent them.

First, there is a draft position selection. Simply enough, this is when each player in the league randomly picks what position they get to take players in the official draft.

For example, if you have the #1 pick, that means you get to pick the first player in the first round, then the last player in the second round, which for our league is pick #1 and #16. If you have the #2 pick, that means you get to pick the second player in the first round, then the second to last player in the second round, which for out league is pick #2 and #15. Then so on and so forth for each pick.

Next, there is the actual draft. After preseason is over, we all get together and make our teams. Once a player is drafted, no one else can pick that player, obviously. You want to pick players according to their point value for each week. After seeing how points are awarded, which will be in another thread, you will be able to tell that Running Backs (RBs) are the most important players on your team, which is why they are, or should be, chosen first. If is up to you to figure out the exact order you will pick players though.

Finally, once everyone's teams are made, head-to-head match-ups will be played each week. The team that has the most wins at the end of the season is the Fantasy Football League's winner. Tie breakers are decided first by point totals on the year. This means, that is there are two teams with 12-5 records for example, and Team A has 1000 points, and Team B has 1100 points, Team B is the winner of the league.


Draft Position Selection Date:

The day we pick our draft pick position is arbitrary. This can be done as soon as possible. It is just a matter of when everyone can get together at the same time to do so.


Draft Selection Date:

The NFL season officially starts September 9th, which is a Thursday this year. This means that our draft day will the Sunday prior to that date, which is September 5th, 2004. The actual time will be set up later.


Any questions you guys have, or anyone else for that matter that may still be interested in joining the league, place them here.

God, I love the NFL.

Call me out, I better remove myself, I don't think I know enough about football. :\

Ugh, that is too bad. Now we are a league of 6, which isn't exactly a bad thing. It just means that each team will have more studs. Oh well. Would have liked you to join, but replacements will need to be found, possibly.

Well with Yahoo we have to have 6 or 8 so whichever. Also when is the draft going to happen? Because tonight I think that most of us were online so we could just do it like next sunday night. If all of us can get on that way we can look at our team.

Alright, next week we will pick our draft order, but I do not want to have the draft until the preseason is over, that way we can avoid drafting anyone that gets injured during the preseason.

Yeah I had picked Michael Vick last year right before the first preseason game. A few hours later I'm watching the Falcons play when vick takes off and get his leg snapped, I was bummed.

I signed up in the other thread. Just making sure you saw it. I'm down.

Exceleent, now we definitely need one more member to sign up, for an even amount of teams. I'll get in touch with you via PM or IM.

How many people do we have, because I only see 4 in the league.

Hmm, well as of right now, only 4 people made names and joined our league. If you have already made a name, post it here, and if you haven't IM me and I will give you instructions on how to do so. I am always online unless my computer explodes..

Titus_Owns_All

That is my league name, obviously. Uncapped, that is obvious too, but there are 2 that I can't figure out, so just for clarification sake, post your league name in this thread.

MightyJoe is there as Ditka, or something to that effect.

Alright, Ganga is out, so now we have an even amount of 6 members for the league which will work just fine. Everyone's team will basically be studs, and once everyone gets to the PM I sent out and makes a name in our league, we will get this started.

Wtf.... link me to this league? I am really confused, man.
