:siren: FANTASY FOOTBALL IS HERE! :siren:

We're doing a 12-man Yahoo Keeper league with a $30 buy-in. We started last year two years 3 years ago and we have until the draft to pick our keepers from last year.

I'm sending out emails and PMs to all of last year's players. I'll update the team list as it goes along.

GO!

:homebrew: = PAID

RULES:

Snake draft, Yahoo Standard Scoring
QB, WR, WR, W/R/T, RB, RB, TE, K, D/ST, 6x BN
3 keepers per year (max) and I'm blocking the first 2 rounds for keepers status since we voted to keep players as long as we want.
3 divisions, 6 playoff spots with 3 byes. #1 seed of every division advances, the other 3 go into the playoffs with their overall records. In other words, we could have playoffs with all of division 1 and the winners of division 2 and 3.
Waiver period is 2 days and will work as a continual rolling list, meaning you can hold on to your waiver pick for as long as you want.
The penalty for keeper status is +1 draft round per year and you can keep these players for as long as you want.
Payouts will be 60% for the playoff winner, 30% for second place, and 10% for third place.
I will be collecting your money through PayPal.

My PayPal is still internet.incorporated at Google's mail service.

I'm hoping everyone comes back for season 4 since it's a little harder to find new players in keepers leagues. If not, I'll be taking names for replacements.

Also, question. When you say the first two rounds are blocked, does that mean that a player drafted in the 1st or 2nd last year is blocked, or does that mean a keeper that would cost a 1st or 2nd this year is blocked? I've seen it mean both, tho usually it means the first.

Basically, can I keep someone that cost a 3rd last season?

Yeah, you can.

Only the players who were picked in the first 2 rounds cannot be kept the following year.

The guy you picked in the third round last year will cost you a second round pick this year, so you won't be able to keep him next season.

So, these guys:

Frank Gore
Rob Gronkowski
Aaron Rodgers
Adrian Peterson
Eddie Lacy
DeMarco Murray
Matt Forte
Drew Brees
Alfred Morris
Demaryius Thomas
Brandin Cooks
Marshawn Lynch
Jamaal Charles
AJ Green
Calvin Johnson
Melvin Gordon
Randall Cobb
Lamar Miller
Julio Jones

That's only 19 players so I guess 5 of them ended up on the waivers and stayed there. Also please don't keep retired players.

Also I forgot that, since last year, Yahoo can manage money leagues and it would've saved me the trouble of getting everyone's cash and sending it back to the winners. :(

I need to remember this poo poo for next year. Has anyone tried it? Is it good?

Still no answer from RCarr, Gyshall, and Respekt and we're running out of time so I'll be giving out their spots. :(

Its Miller Time, are you still in?

These are the teams we're replacing:

RCarr:



Gyshall:



Respekt:



I was thinking of doing a first come first serve deal but I fear we might end up stuck with one bad team and no one to take it. How about I give the teams randomly to the (hopefully) 3 new guys?

And just in case you don't get keeper penalties here's how it would go if you were to get Respekt's team:

Keep Brandon Marshall and he'll cost you a 3rd round pick.
Keep Andre Ellington and he'll cost you a 2nd round pick.
You can't keep either Jamaal Charles, Demariyus Thomas, Brandon Cooks or Marshawn Lynch.
A player who wasn't drafted like Coby Fleener would cost you a 12th round pick.
If you keep 2 undrafted players it would cost you a 12th and an 11th round picks.

I think that covers all scenarios.

Who's in?!?

There's only 2 spots left then!

Should we do a 10-man league if no one wants the remaining teams? We've never had problems filling the spots before but I can't say I'm confident we'll get 2 more before we draft.

Also if we go to 10 teams I think I would have to give you a team randomly just to keep it fair for everyone. I'm sure a few of us here would jump on the 12th-round Rawls team in a heartbeat.

hes been posting in the FF main thread so you could go there and hit him up.

Also I have not paid yet because I haven't been invited to anything and locked it in. With the RCarr confusion I'm going to wait until it is figured out. If you have to bump me for him so that you can have an even number of teams it's cool

I looked him up and he has been posting in there indeed. It gave me the idea of trying to recruit people there, too. Hopefully he sees the post and/or we find the necessary players to do a 12-man.

I can't invite you to anything yet because we don't know who gets what team. Don't worry about the $, it can wait until everything's cool. Consider your spot secure though. I don't have time to mess around with the season starting soon.

I read the OP. Literally none of my questions are answered in the OP, i just double checked. And why advertise the available teams if you can't pick?

EDIT: Ah I see, a middle post said its random. If its random, I'm out. Good luck finding people to take those other two teams!

The spots are yours! Fill in the Doodle and give me your emails (here or in PMs if you prefer).

I know the 3 available teams aren't exactly balanced and you might end up with the short end of the stick but keep in mind only 30 or so players are kept and you can still get a very good draft in. Two years ago we had a replacement come in who didn't keep anyone and now has Cam Newton for a 5th, Odell Beckham for a 12th, and David Johnson for a 13th.

Also, does anyone have an idea on how to randomly assign the teams? I'd have to have one of you as a spectator or something.

True. But you're also a Cowboys fan IIRC and that's reason enough for me to give you the short end of the st

I found a half-assed way to do it, though. I'll randomize the draft order on the Yahoo page. Everyone sees the results and it won't let me re-roll without letting you guys know.

blue squares is temporarily California Burritos
Von Bonez is temporarily The Green Bastards
Frustrated is temporarily Ryan C's Rad Team

Whoever has the lowest draft # actually gets California Burritos' team.
Whoever has the highest draft # actually gets Ryan C's Rad Team.
Whoever is in the middle actually gets The Green Bastards' team.

Then I assign the teams and re-roll the actual draft order.

Sounds like overkill but meh. I'll do it later tonight or when I get Frustrated's Doodle/confirmation.

Two of those teams aren't great, but they all have at least two keepers. I'm fine with however you want to random it.

You rock.

Actually props to all you newcomers for being quick to Doodle and pay. Really makes it easier for me!

Now. The best Doodle is a 10 out of 12 on Wed 7th @ 10pm EST. Those of you who filled the form long ago could go back and see if you can make other days work or stretch those hours a bit. I'm not asking for the impossible but maybe your schedule changed in the last 2 weeks or something.
