Cool, let's try to plan this a little better this year.

Who's in?

Mrs Walfredo and I are down. Don't have the old yahoo email I had.
Can you resend the link to my new yahoo email?

[email address removed from spammers]

Everyone should play. We need to try and get at least 10 teams.

If we don't have 10 players here, we have some friends that would be interested in joining.

Can't do the draft on the 31st..... I will be at a soccer tournament!!! Maybe I could have Spanky draft for me?

having spanky draft for you would probably be a good thing

Cool, just sent another invite to your new email.  I also edited the post to remove it, so spammers won't harvest your publicly posted email.

My schedule is pretty open, so if someone wants to pick a day/time to get the ball rolling and see if there are any objections that would be great.

I agree 10+ teams are more fun.  Let's see how many we get in a few days.  I bet we'll need a few new folks.

How about Sunday, Sept 1?  That would be the last Sunday before the season starts.  Any time preference?

I doubt we'll get to 10 players here, so if you can PM me their emails, I'll send them an invite.

Got it. We will start rounding up a few people and I'll send any emails over.

Anytime Sunday, 9/1 would work for us.

Spanky will be at a soccer tournament too!!! Depending on the time though, he may be able too.

Is your soccer tournament over August 31 and Sept 1?  Do you have a date/time suggestion?

maybe we could reschedule so Darla and Spanky can draft. that would give us 7 and I have one at least that should be able to play. Can probably get at least 1 more so we can have 9. Hopefully then we can find 1 more to make 10.

What about spacey?

Looking like I have 3 that will play. So with darla and spanky that is 10. I'll send over emails soon

Yeah, let's reschedule.  What day is good for you guys, Darla and Spanky?  Maybe Monday or Tuesday?

Tuesday night is best for us and my friends if that works for everyone else.

OK, lots of times available on Tuesday night.  Anyone object to tuesday night?

How about 7pm pacific/9pm central?  Let me know.

OK, it looks like these were the final standings from last year:

2012 Standings
1. Dystopian Solutions
2. Real Strohdawg
3. Penis Party
4. Leaders O'Cola
5. Failin Palins
6. ummlaut strohson
7. Darla
8. Cream Dream Supreme

So the draft will be in reverse order.

2013 Draft
1. Cream Dream Supreme
2. Darla
3. ummlaut strohson (hasn't rejoined)
4. Failin Palins
5. Leaders O'Cola
6. Penis Party
7. Real Strohdawg (hasn't rejoined)
8. Dystopian Solutions

I think last year we added new players to the end of the draft order.
[new players will be added to end of draft order based on order of joining league. i.e. first to join gets earlier draft spot]

Let me know if I made any mistakes.

That is great for us. So there should be room for my 3 friends to make 10 total. I've received confirmations and will send emails shortly.

You guys didn't notice at the time but I purposely tanked last year so I could get AD with my first pick this year.

g'day, I'm in!

With twoiron joining, that puts us at 7.  I'm not sure about Spanky, he didn't play last year.  Darla, do you know if he wants to play this year?

I don't think spacey has ever joined the league.  stroh was in last year, but he hasn't responded to the invitation yet.

I think there's room for your 3 friends regardless.  10 or 12 people seems ideal for a league.

Sounds great. Sending emails now.

Did you get my private message? It doesn't show it in my outbox.

G'day 2 iron glad you are joining us again this year

Yeah, something is strange about the private messages.  I didn't get one from twoiron, but got an email notification with the message in it.

I got yours fine though, Walfredo.  Just sent the three invites out.

Spanky is out, he can help me out! :D

We lost stroh this year?

I think I saw a recent post from stroh over on Figs. Maybe you can PM him over there.

I've sent him a few emails and a PM from here.  Just sent one on FGI.

OK, stroh is in.

This puts us at 10 with the two of Walfredo's friends that joined.

Walfredo, what do you think, would you prefer 10 or should we try to go for 12?

Once we finalize things, I can lock the league and set the draft order.

10 is a good number. It looks like Michael and Scott have joined but Daniel hasn't yet because he has been out of town. I'll see if one of them doesn't mind sitting out. I know Scott is in a few other leagues. He might drop out so Daniel can join instead. I'll let you know.

Got it.  Sounds good.

Alright Scott dropped out and Daniel signed up. Got 10 even now so were are all good.

Great!  OK, so based on last year's standings with new folks at the end, here's the draft order.  As always, let me know if I made a mistake.

2013 Draft Order
1.       Cream Dream ...
2.       Darla
3.       uumlaut stro...
4.       Failin Palins
5.       Leaders O'Cola
6.       Penis Party
7.       The Real Str...
8.       Dystopian So...
9.       Michael's Team
10.       Mean Machine

I'm excited about this season, both fantasy and football in general.  It looks like there's going to be a lot of surprise teams and players.

 [sm_shock] lol, autodrafters rule!

Draft Grades
uumlaut strohson B
Doodius Maximus B
Darla B
Failin Palins B
Leaders O'Cola B
Cream Dream Supreme B
Michael's Team B-
Mean Machine C+
Dystopian Solutions C
Penis Party C-

so when is the draft?
do I need to be present if I want to "autodraft"?
 ;D ;D

Not sure if you're serious or not, but the draft was 2 days ago.  ;D

Yahoo graded your draft a B.

Draft Grade: B
Think you’re better than this? Nominate yourself for the Toyota Hall of Fame and prove it.

uumlaut strohson parlayed a solid draft slot (third overall) into a respectable performance. With a mark of 10-5-0 (1,530 points), they're projected to finish third in GolfHos League. With their first five picks, uumlaut strohson focused on balance, selecting QB Cam Newton (38th overall), RBs Doug Martin (3rd) and Maurice Jones-Drew (18th), and WRs Demaryius Thomas (23rd) and Danny Amendola (43rd). They have one of the best tandems of RBs in the league, as they added Martin and Jones-Drew.

The Season Ahead
Week 9 figures to test the depth of uumlaut strohson, as it is the week when the most players (6) and most projected fantasy points are on bye. From a projected points standpoint, they have a more-challenging-than-average slate. Along with the fifth-most grueling overall schedule, both the first four games and last four games of the season are about league-average difficulty for uumlaut strohson. Starting in Week 9, uumlaut strohson will have to navigate a tricky part of the schedule, squaring off against projected top-tier teams in the league three times in a five-game span.

Draft Notes
Strongest Position: With three better-than-average positions on uumlaut strohson, K (10.3% above the league average) and WR (8.6%) are projected as especially strong units.
Team of Champions: uumlaut strohson has a lineup sprinkled with proven fantasy winners. Across all Yahoo! leagues last season, three of their players finished among the top 20 in percentage of times on a championship roster. They include Doug Martin, Demaryius Thomas, and Matt Bryant.
On Autopilot: Picking starting RBs should be an academic exercise most weeks for uumlaut strohson, as there's a healthy projected points difference between their third-ranked (Mark Ingram) and fourth-ranked (Giovani Bernard) RBs.
On the Rise: uumlaut strohson hopes to break through this season, led by five players who are projected to significantly exceed their fantasy points from last season.
It's How You Finish: uumlaut strohson had a strong finish, accumulating the most projected points in the league over the second half of the draft.
Digging Deep: Knowshon Moreno is owned in less than 10% of all Yahoo! leagues (7%). Perhaps he will reward uumlaut strohson for their faith.

LOL... I was being serious, and stop calling me Shirley!!


Thanks for the explanation  ;D

I was just looking at the playoff settings.  It's currently set to:

Week 16 and 17 (4 teams) Note: Week 17 runs 6 days from Dec 24 to Dec 29

Anyone prefer 4 or 6 teams?  I don't have a preference.

6 teams please!
 ;D

Heh, I don't think anyone has seen this.

I just put up a poll on the league site:

http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/573058/messages

Oh, you're still alive, I see. I thought you abandoned your team back in week 10.

lol.  I swear I thought this league had autosave on roster changes on gameday
 [sm_shock]

OK, it looks like the vote is for 6 teams.  I just changed the playoffs from 4 to 6 teams which means the playoffs start after this week.

Hopefully changing things this late didn't break anything.

Bring it on, beotches!

Huge injuries to Gronk and Adrian Peterson.  Playoffs should be interesting.

Just got back from vacation.  Congratulations to Cream Dream Supreme on the championship!

about time to start planning 2014?
