Season One Thread ɤ Season Two Thread

Welcome to the third season of the Game of Roto auction league. It's a free 12 team 2 keeper league run on ESPN. Keepers are last auctions cost plus $5. Keeper selections will lock and be made public on Sunday August 31st, 8 PM eastern.

Draft is tentatively set for Wednesday September 3rd, 9:00 pm eastern.

Standard rosters, no kicker - 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1FLEX, 1DEF, 7 bench. With standard scoring plus .5 PPR. This season I am going to require GoT themed names. It's just too weird to see like 90% of the teams fit a theme then a couple random dudes. Also, no book spoilers. TV stuff only.

Our reigning champion is We Do Not Suh (Sataere) who beat You Know Nothing Dwayne Bowe (flax) in the finals by a two-week score of 227.7-176.5.

Hallyne's Wildfire(me) took 3rd place by beating Doug R. R. Martin(rikatix) in the consolation finals.

Teams:
1. nerve (Hallyne's Wildfire)
2. flax (You Know Nothing Dwayne Bowe)
3. Oh Snapple! (An Unleashing of Dragons)
4. Sataere (We Do Not Suh)
5. uublog (The Raineys of Castamere)
6. rikatix (Doug R.R. Martin)
7. Fight Club Sandwich (The Bear and the Peyton Fair)
8. Spoenk (House Boldin)
9. TheSean (Bronny Football)
10. It's Miller Time (House Mormont Bears)
11. NowonSA (Lannister Golden Lions)
12. rrrrrrrrrrrt (The Iron Rice)

Wait List:
1. OxySnake

Yeah, but why are they allowed to add players to their roster off the waiver wire? That is what I am confused about.

Those players were free agents not on the waiver wire.

Also, this is looking pretty grim as far as folks returning from last season.

What is the difference? Were those players drafted by those teams and on those rosters when the season ended?

It appears that someone is just grabbing a player to put on their roster with the option of potentially keeping them and circumventing the draft process. Maybe I am missing something here, but it seems like you shouldn't be able to pick up players that weren't already on your roster. If I'm being retarded, please tell me so. I just want to know why they were able to add Arian Foster and Rob Gronkowski to their rosters.

This happens in every fantasy league I've ever been in. Those two players were dropped last season (injuries) so at the beginning of this season they were free agents. Rosters are open, which means you can drop and add players. These two (one was me, I grabbed Foster) players can be kept for their auction value from last season, plus $5 just like every other player. They were bothy taken for quite a bit in the auction so I doubt either will be kept, but it's just part of strategy.

That's fine. I'm not really too concerned about it, since I plan on winning anyway. It seems odd, but if you guys think it's normal, I'm not worried about it.

The league has been reopened for over a week now, so if teams haven't been claimed they are up for grab by anyone else on the forum.

New people: if you want to join, post what team you want to take over. I must have waited too long to restart the league this season, because there are 5 teams available. Play football with us.

If y'all need a warm body for the league I'm down but I can't guarantee I'd be available for the draft due to my job (or competitive based on autodraft). I guess throw me on the alternate list and if you need someone around the beginning of the week shoot me a PM. I'll gut it out even if ESPN dials me up Martin and Foster too early as usual.

I dunno call me the 'Cleveland Bronns' or some poo poo til I'm required to have a better idea.

I've never heard of anything like this. Seems like a pretty ridiculous thing to allow. Is this an auction only league thing?

I'll play. I'm trying to decide between Demaryius Targaryen or House Boldin--"Our routes are sharp."


How do we decide what team we are taking over? Random lottery? First come first serve?

I'm down for it. Put me in as the Lannister Golden Lions please. I'll just carry over with that name.

I'll be on vacation for about a week after Sept. 7, so please stick to the current draft date if at all possible, or don't push it beyond the 7th.

My email is cnkandrew at gmail.com.

Please also let me know how to handle/name keepers, and where I can find how much my team's players went for in the last draft.
