S1 Thread S2 S3 S4


...And we're back. Welcome to the fifth season of the Game of Roto: the best fantasy league about an ok fantasy show.

Like the city of Mereen, we are a free league. Also like the city of Mereen, our dialogue is dumb as heck, we negotiate with one-sided & insulting trade offers, and the person in charge doesn't know what he's doing. Oh, and we have a keeper system.

Site:
ESPN - League Page

Scoring:

1Q / 2R / 2W / 1T / 1 WRT / 1DST / 7 BN - no kickers
0.5 PPR otherwise ESPN standard

Draft & Schedule:
Tentatively set @ Sat Sept 3 at 4 PM Pacific
H2H weeks 1-13
Playoffs: 4 teams qualify then 2 rounds of 2-week playoffs (wks 14-17)

Keepers:
2 keepers for this draft, but going forward we'll be able to keep 3.
Keeper values are last years auctions' cost plus $5.
Auction is a $200 budget.

League changes:
This league is casual AF and we can vote to change anything.
To prevent ambiguity with idle speculation/shitposting, there's a format for proposed rule changes: anything intended for league vote should have "Proposal:" in the post. If someone seconds the motion by posting "THE KING IN THE NORF" gif, then we'll vote.


Thrones-themed team names:

Mandatory. No book spoilers, please!

Previously on Game of Roto:
S1 Champ: nerve (Hallyne's Wildfire), S2 Champ: Sataere (We Do Not Suh), S3 Champ: uublog (The Raineys of Castamere)
S4 Champ: Khal Tebow of the Chipraki rode tim loving hightower to the league championship and now RVProfootballer sits on the Gridiron Throne
S5 Champ: could it be you??

Did you check who was actually on your team, rather than going by draft? Pretty sure I finished with Calvin on my roster, and think you have better keepers than you think. Vaguely recall something like me trading away a cheap but injured Keenan Allen for Megatron? Don't remember though.

Edit: Yeah, just checked and I have Calvin. I've also got a few possible keepers might trade, along with some I'm going to keep:

Allen Robinson, Thomas Rawls, Demaryius Thomas, Devante Parker

Fight Club Sandwich, in that keeper cost image you posted, does it include the $5 increase? Or is that what they cost last year?

Any chance we could move the draft date away from labor day weekend? I'm going to be on vacation Sat and Sun. edit: actually hold on, that date might work

PS - I'm going to bid a million dollars on Julio Jones this year.

Do we do keeper trading or no? I'm really happy with Robinson and Rawls, but also have Demaryius Thomas and Devante Parker nice and cheap, so willing to talk about possible deals if anyone has like one really good keeper but no viable second one.

rosters locked at the end of the season and will unlock after the draft including both trades and FA - reminder though that everything in the league is proposable and votable
