I'm very interested in participating provided there is room here!

I'm a bit of a fantasy league novice, but I'm sure I can pick it up. If not, at least everyone gets at least one win on their record...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 20 Jul 2012, 1:38 pm

I would be interested but again like Sodhat I am very inexperienced in NFL Fantasy Leagues, so would need nuturing lol

by RDuncan8 Fri 20 Jul 2012, 1:53 pm

Count me in again please. Prestige Worldwide in the WEST!

by Bull Fri 20 Jul 2012, 2:19 pm

If you reactivate both East & West leagues ,you can then hand over the league managers role to some one else
Its in the managers settings
That way we won't have to set up new leagues from scratch
Should be room for a few new players as a few dropped out

by Forward Pass Fri 20 Jul 2012, 3:58 pm

Also whatever we do I'm in
The Stormbringers [606 West]

I would be fine with you running the league
Probably need to put a bit more effort into the forum though Whistle

Lets get the old league up and running then we can sort out who wants to stay in , looks like most want to play again except for the 2 or 3 who didn't finish the season

by GB1919 Fri 20 Jul 2012, 9:13 pm

You think there's any chance I'd miss this....Child Please!

Looking forward to another year of flattering to deceive before fading quickly in the West.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 20 Jul 2012, 9:14 pm

Can you guys explain to me how this works once it is up and running. I am a bit lost so far lol

by mikeygnfl Fri 20 Jul 2012, 9:21 pm

I'm up for it again. (New York Bulls in the 606v2west)

by Bull Fri 20 Jul 2012, 9:26 pm

yeah if you could explain lol

I want Chicago.

Easy to explain. On NFL.com they have a great fantasy football game in which this forum had two leagues last year of 14 teams each.

It basically works in the style of the real NFL draft, so all the teams take it in turns to pick players for there teams with each individual NFL player only being on one team. You usually pick a team of 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, a team defence (i.e. you pick the Pittsburg Steelers say) and a "flex" player which can be anything RB or WR (and probably TEs will be allowed this year). In addition you have 6 players on the bench which you use to fill in bye weeks for your other players etc.

Points come from all the real NFL games based on what your player does and each week you directly play against one other player in your league. Whoever gets the most points out of all there players over one weekend gets a win as per a normal NFL division. Last couple of weeks of the NFL regular season form the fantasy playoffs.

You change players mid season either by trade with another owner or by dropping someone into the list of spare players and taking someone else as a replacement. Generally the latter isn't that successful since everyone keeps the good players on there teams, but sometimes you get lucky in picking up players who come into teams to replace injured players (e.g. last year I got DeMarco Murray who turned into Dallas' starter by year end) or because peoples teams get full of players who are all injured or whose real teams are on bye weeks and they have to sacrifice players to put up a starting line up.

Check out last years thread:
https://www.606v2.com/t13037-606v2-west-nflcom-fantasy-football-homepage

there are links in there to the old league so you can see the team and league structure of everyone Smile

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 20 Jul 2012, 10:00 pm

I have created an account ready for this. Gonna get whooped lol

by Bull Fri 20 Jul 2012, 11:22 pm

so how do we know if where in the east league or west?

by RDuncan8 Sat 21 Jul 2012, 12:01 am

Just have to wait until it gets reactivated and sort out who will be LM. Then see where the available spots are, then you'll get an invite to one of them.

by BamBam Sat 21 Jul 2012, 12:17 am

Seeing as crazy_dave missed out a rather important part (scoring!) I will just add to his post.

Each week fixtures are lined up, and you have another team as your direct opponent for that week, just like the real NFL. Our scoring system is fairly standard, but just to make it clear:

Passing
1 point for every 25 yards passing
4 points for a touchdown pass (I think)

Rushing
1 point for every 10 yards rushing
6 points for a touchdown

Receiving
1 point for every 10 yards receiving
6 points for a touchdown

Kickers
1 point for an extra point conversion
3 points for field goals
5 points for a field goal over 50 yards

Turnovers give you negative points

Defence - Loads of different ways to score, keeping an opponent under a certain amount of points, causing turnovers. sacks etc

NFL.com uses decimal scoring, so if Adrian Peterson runs for 84 yards, he will get 8.4 points

The totals are added up for your starting line up and your opponent's, and whoever has the highest gets the win for that week. We played a 13 week regular season, and 3 weeks for playoffs (week 17 is ignored because teams usually rest their starters)

by cherriesfna Sat 21 Jul 2012, 12:41 am

isnt it 1 point for 25 yards passing and 6 points for a rushing/recieving TD?

by asdral225 Sat 21 Jul 2012, 1:15 am

I was in the east last year as Second Hand Heroes so would be happy to participate again

I knew I had some of the scoring wrong! Couldn't be bothered to look it up

by Number-25 Sat 21 Jul 2012, 1:47 am

Count me in again.

I was in the East league last year as Rexy's Redskins.... think I may need to change that name for this year. Now, if only there was a high profile player who played for the Redskins and who's name began with "R"...... Whistle

by Lowlandbrit Sat 21 Jul 2012, 9:09 am

I'm up for another year. (East League last year)

I approximated that entire post into "Points come from all the real NFL games based on what your player does and each week"... I didn't feel the need to be precise, which is odd for me!

by thunder and lightning Sat 21 Jul 2012, 12:03 pm

I'm up for playing again obviously, team "Thunder and Lightning" will be making a run for the title this yeah.

by Barney92 Sat 21 Jul 2012, 12:42 pm

I'm definitely up for this again, but I can't really remember what my team name was.

by **Pr4wn** Sat 21 Jul 2012, 11:51 pm

OK the leagues have been reactivated. Who wants control?

The only person who has put there hand up in the West is CrazyDave
he would seem the obvious choice as he also ran the league thread

You are still playing in the leagues Pr4wn aren't you

by Number-25 Sun 22 Jul 2012, 10:37 am

What does being control of the league involve?

by crazy_dave23 Sun 22 Jul 2012, 10:40 am

Number-25 wrote:What does being control of the league involve?

Not a lot really!
Just gives you the power to set the draft time, draft order, rules, remove team owners etc.

As the leagues and there rules are already set up, it just means a bit of tinkering might be required, however any rules will be the same for both leagues

by crazy_dave23 Sun 22 Jul 2012, 12:13 pm

Thought I would throw together the list of who has said what so far... Put the two inactive teams from last year in red, green is for those who have posted above...

Detail Moved to later on...

by twelve283 Sun 22 Jul 2012, 1:01 pm

I'm up for it again. (Almost Perfect, East)

Cheers Dave.

Well, I reckon I'd be happy enough to manage the East league if that helps move things along. Probably the best way for me to make sure I can get the draft time I want Wink
