 Welcome to the League of Posts! This is a free league with auction draft, keepers, and ppr scoring. It also has a special rule. To stay in the league, you have to post in this thread once per calendar week during the league season. The post has to be relevant to the league or the NFL and not just dead space. If you miss a weekly post, your league spot is up for grabs! The goal is to create a low barrier-to-entry, deep league with a chatty culture that may last some number of years. League link and details: http://fantasy.nfl.com/league/3332748 League ID: 3332748 League Password: goonposts ROSTER: QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, TE, K, DEF, 1 RB/WR flex, 1 WR/TE flex, 1 IDP, 5 bench, 1 reserve. Deep league! SCORING: PPR, 5pt passing TD, 1pt/25 yd return yardage, otherwise pretty standard. OWNERS / TEAMS (this is not a standings list):
HALL OF GLORY:
WAITLIST: empty; only relevant in offseasons. Mid-season, you claim spots via posting (see rules below). Past members: blarzgh, Samarium, OBR, Time, TNG, ForeverBWFC, wtf242, vyst, Daedra, Blimpkin, Sweeper Boilerplate rules to keep things on the up and up: quote:KEEPERS 2015 DRAFT RESULTS: http://fantasy.nfl.com/league/3332748/history/2015/draftresults 2016 KEEPER DECLARATIONS AND 2016 KEEPER COST ($):
Draft date is Saturday, Aug. 20. Please reply in thread as a roll call to claim your spot and declare your keepers. Keeper declaration deadline is MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2016. The league is full! Keep an eye out during the season for people who forget to post, so you can claim their team~ pmchem fucked around with this message at 23:33 on Sep 21, 2016 |

If a mod could change the thread icon to "fantasy", I'd appreciate it. I basically never post new threads and screwed up the OP on this one. If not, welp.

Leperflesh posted:It's a little tricky to figure out who was kept. E.g., when looking over the Walruses, I can look at their draft report and see who they drafted, but not who was kept from 2014. And the history team view refuses to show me anything but week 16, even if I click on the other weeks, so I can't easily see who was rostered week 1 (which isn't for sure the drafted + the kept, since there could have been trades before week 1). This is season two; last season we had a new league with fresh draft. No player has been kept yet. We have a limited number of keepers; I think it will be tractable to keep track of them in the OP from year-to-year. You only need to look at the week 16 rosters, really. That and the draft. Who was on a team in week 4 has no effect on keeper eligibility. Regarding the waiver wire, we have pretty deep rosters and 14 owners. Plus, it's not a money league. I think that camping out for midnight rollover was not a thing that people did last year. People did not complain about the wire. and camping will not be worth your time. However, after we have a full roster of owners, I'm willing to put FAAB to a vote.

Leperflesh posted:OK since I made a spreadsheet to identify the keepable players on all four of the open teams, here's some helpful results for anyone else thinking of taking over one of these teams! I think you may have misinterpreted the keeper rules -- if a player was _drafted_, by anyone -- he is eligible to be kept. The team he was on at the end of the season does not have to be the team he was drafted on originally. He could've been dropped, traded, etc. So, Tebows should have many more eligible players than just those two. I'll let you reconsider what team you may wish to take over, just in case. But I'm glad you're interested!

Leperflesh posted:Oh, jeeesus. OK, that means I have to determine, for every player on the team, whether or not that player was drafted at all? That's correct. But, look at the number of owners and roster size we have. If a player is useful at all, chances are he was drafted. You can pretty much assume that. If he wasn't drafted but you would _want_ to keep him, he was probably some crazy headline-making, highly memorable midseason breakout. So we're protecting against people getting plain lucky from turning waiver priority pickups into keeper gold.

Veritek83 posted:Do we have an official date we need to have all keeper declarations in? Old league rules say 48 hours before the draft, but I may move that up because that Thursday/Friday will be exceptionally busy for me due to work stuff. I'll probably make it 5 days before the draft: that's the afternoon of Monday, Aug 15.

Pain of Mind posted:Still looking for more for this? Looks interesting and saw you mention it in another thread. Yes! Two teams open, listed as "UNCLAIMED TEAM" in the OP. Please see OP and earlier posts in thread for details, and feel free to ask away. Leperflesh posted:I don't want to say who my keepers are. I'm figuring that nobody is going to announce it ahead of time, since knowing who the other teams are keeping has a direct impact on who one might want to keep (vs. hope to get in the redraft). For example if everyone else is keeping a lot of WRs, that makes it more important to keep WRs, because fewer good WRs will be available in the draft. I understand your point, but honestly, there's no real-world $ on the line here and min-maxing your keeper declarations based upon others' choices is extremely unlikely to make a bit of differences for whether or not you make the playoffs. I was thinking people will just state them in thread and I'll manually enter -- haven't looked in detail at the NFL.com interface, but I'll try to remember to do that tomorrow. I did already lay out who I was considering in my own entry in the OP. Anytime on August 15th according to eastern timezone will be fine. You are free to make edits up to that point, too -- I'm not holding you to some original post. I will deal with them sometime on the 16th/17th. It could possibly be VERY EARLY MORNING on the 16th, in which case you're poo poo out of luck if you haven't declared. $200 total on keepers+draft. No mid-season cap.

Leperflesh posted:I already picked my keepers via the UI, although I'm waffling on one of them. Another issue with people picking keepers via the UI is that they may pick an ineligible player, or do the math wrong. And in that case they're gonna get all mad when I straight up axe their keeper after the fact!

I was looking through the league settings, and I set a web keeper deadline so that people can't mess with things after our deadline. Note, the deadline posted IN THIS THREAD is the one that matters. Also, when people declare keepers, apparently their value is marked as zero. So I'm going to have to calculate everyone's keeper costs anyway. No big deal. I saw that Bolton Wanderers had set keepers in the web UI, who knows when. The 2015 owner of that team has not posted in this thread and they are marked as an UNCLAIMED TEAM (our last one). I unset their keepers. That team is still up for grabs until someone posts to claim it. People may either declare keepers in thread or set them in the UI. But if you're looking for a competitive advantage, heads up, I may see your keepers through the league manager UI. I'm not really paying attention to them but there's no way to prevent a LM from seeing them. So please don't imagine they're secret or anything. I already know who I'm keeping anyway.

Ninja Bob posted:Just out of interest, how will keepers work next year? Same rules, so we can only keep players drafted this year? Or some other craziness? It's detailed in the rules: quote:You may keep up to 3 players. If a player's cost in year Y was X, their cost in year Y+1 will be (X+5)*1.1. Players may be kept up to two consecutive years. Players MUST HAVE BEEN DRAFTED (or kept) in the prior year in order to be kept -- that ensures we get nice baseline prices. The "(or kept)" part is probably the answer to your question.

Okay, keepers have been verified and entered on the league site. Their costs, as determined by the formula in the rules, are also listed at the end of the OP. Please let me know if you have any questions or see any errors. Please do not attempt to edit your keeper settings or posts, I'll just consider that cheating and you forfeit your keeper(s) in question. dabigredboat was the sole owner to forget to do anything about keepers. Shame, boat, shame. We still have one unclaimed team! This league was a lot of fun last year, I hope someone steps up and auctions with us. Potential new guy reading this: your team has good keeper options! You can keep 0-3 players (details in OP). The following players are legit options and can be kept for the following values ($ out of 200 budget): Jamaal Charles, 72 Jason Witten, 11 Aaron Rodgers, 54 Emmanuel Sanders, 43 Keenan Allen, 26 Zach Ertz, 9 Ameer Abdullah, 28

I just sent out several offers trying to move Chris Ivory and James White. Amazingly, I have too many useful RBs. I'm looking to downsize them and trade 2 for 1. I could also do a 3-for-2 where the additional players are non-RBs that retain my roster balance, if that would work better. It's hard to balance these offers and some were closer than others, but I was just trying to send out mass offers. NFL.com only lets you have 5 active offers at a time so I had to cancel some, in order to send others. Please consider the email offer still of interest until I move those guys. If you liked it, just send me the offer. Thanks! edit: I may also consider a 2-for-1 involving ((Ivory or White) and Markus Wheaton), for your RB. pmchem fucked around with this message at 00:31 on Sep 8, 2016 |

Whoever I may drop -- who was not in the initial wave of trade offers -- nobody would be guaranteed to get anyway because the player would go through waivers. You know this, so you know your argument is nonsense. Much like your team, that I can defeat without a kicker anyway. I may do that just for 'kicks'.

Having went nearly undefeated in the league last year, designed the league settings, and played in a similar league for years, I feel pretty confident in my evaluation of positional depth. Even right now there are several WR/TE people you could pick up off the wire and start in a W/T flex. There are zero playable RBs on the wire right now. The depth just is not there.
