Fantasy Football??

Who wants to play? I’ll set up a league and we can draft next weekend if there’s enough interest (need 8+)
Are the 4 of you still in? @JaJuanY  @maggiemadeit @sejica @southerngirlinwi

I've always wanted to do this. I tried several years ago and had no clue what I was doing... Anyone care to explain it to a newb?

Nice idea! I'm already in a league and anxious to do more than one but if you need more players to kick this off, I'm in!

mamakate1616

The gist is you are a “team owner/manager” and you have to build a winning team. Each team is composed of the same positions - quarterback, some wide receivers, some running backs, kicker, defense, tight end and a bench where you can store some extras. 
You build your team by drafting real players from real teams and your scoring is based on how they perform. For example if you have a quarterback like Tom Brady who throws a million touchdowns you get a lot of points, but if the defense you choose is playing against the Patriots and allows a lot of points to be scored, you might get 0 or even negative points for that position. 
Each week (I think 14 weeks) you play a different team and each week you are able to make adjustments to your lineup based on who is on your bench, undrafted, or trades you make. Last two weeks of the regular are the championship games. 
I use yahoo fantasy football and find it to be both user friendly and great for providing insight and scoring projections for those who don’t otherwise know who’s who in the zoo (like me  I read projections and player updates but haven’t watched a game since DD was born)
I hope you will play!!

@mamakate1616 Yes! It will be my 3rd league but I am up for the challenge 

bdesterhouse

Count me in, sounds like fun.

sejica

@mamakate1616 I'm still game!

mamakate1616

We need at least 3 more 

Shelbyville30

Clueless but count me in

mamakate1616

Last call — any takers before we have to scrap it? 

bdesterhouse

So we need two more??

mamakate1616

Yes!

Lbloom

Count me in!

mamakate1616

If you guys want to play with just the 9 of us we can do that and someone will have a bye week each week. 

eta: evidently I can’t count because there are only 7 of us lol!

bdesterhouse

I’m fine w that.

mamakate1616

Alright ladies - here’s the link to join! I set the draft for tomorrow at 8:30pm eastern but we can change that if needed.

bdesterhouse

Yes thank you!

mayoduck

In! Thanks for taking the lead on this, @mamakate1616

sejica

Done! But as usual, I'm a doofus and accidentally made 6 teams, but I fixed it, just apologizing if it caused anyone any grief. It should be fine now.

mamakate1616

Haha! I never saw anything out of the ordinary. My pleasure, besides yahoo made it super easy.   

mamakate1616

@bdesterhouse @Shelbyville30 @Lbloom
are you guys able to get signed up? 

bdesterhouse

I will sign up after church so I can do it from my computer. So about 11:30 centeral time zone

kristimh80

Joined! Thanks for doing this...I've been wanting to join a team. 

Shelbyville30

Hey! @mamakate1616 Sorry I’m behind, I’m on vacation but I think I can probably work it out tonight. Is it too late? 

mamakate1616

Nope it’s not too late! I do every thing from my cell so it should be pretty easy. I think I’ll postpone the draft at least until tomorrow night to give every one a chance to get signed up.

chrissdee

Hi! I'm dropping in from April 2019 bmb because I just saw @mamakate1616 post needing more players. Do you still need any more people? 

edited because autocorrect sucks 

mayoduck

8:30 pm EST tomorrow (Monday) then?

bdesterhouse

I figured it out!

bdesterhouse

sounds good to me!

Shelbyville30

all signed up!  

mamakate1616

@chrissdee yes!!! We actually can’t play until we have an even number. (I thought we could with bye weeks but it won’t even let us draft). 

Is everyone good with drafting tonight at 8:30pm eastern? 

bdesterhouse

I’m good

maggiemadeit

Works for me 

kristimh80

Good with me

Shelbyville30

Sounds good! 

mamakate1616

@chrissdee - I think you have two teams on there. Is “Chriss’s choice Team” the one you want to keep? I can remove the one you don’t want for you

JaJuanY

Can I still join???? Sorry I'm so late in the game, but will be around at 8:30 pm for the draft tonight.

mamakate1616

Sounds good! We’re up to 9 now so we still need one more to make it an even number 

JaJuanY

Maybe one of us can enter two teams?  I'm okay with that, if it means we get to play.
