Don't worry it'll be fun/easy. The key to having success is keeping up with your team, no matter if you're losing or winning. Anything can happen in football as we all know, so you're never really out of the count.

If you need help or have any questions such as who to put in your lineup or who you should get on the waiver wire, just contact me. It's only our first year for FF, so we don't all need to go balls out haha. I'm here to make it fun and enjoyable for everyone, yet competetive.

I normally like a ppr league because it makes it higher scoring, but because of the other ways to score points (like over 100 yards for wrs and rbs gets points) it kind of evens out. It just changes my draft strategy thats all. Not necessarily bad, but just gotta adjust. I'm fine with whatever. Just happy to play fantasy

Yea I was going to say, there's a **** load of points for bonuses, such as a WR catching over 100 yards, or a QB throwing for over 300 yards. If we put PPR, the scoring would skyrocket, but whatever you guys want, I'm down for.

Actually I might like your way more than ppr. Just because it doesn't make a whole lot of sense that one reception counts for a point. It takes away from quarterbacks and makes receptions valued way too much. Your scoring rewards explosive players and consistent players. Thats nice because people like Benson and Ryan Grant will be better picks because of the fact that they put up consistent numbers. And yet it doesn't devalue players like DeSean Jackson who won't get the most receptions and in a ppr he wouldn't do as well, but in this setup he gets a lot more points if he makes a big play. I'm so excited!! I might get the league that I join with a couple of my friends to have this setup

[TreTheRaven]

The good news is ... I am currently tied for first place!

...

The bad news is ... this is probably the only time I'll ever see first place.

Yep that's why I like it as well. I think PPR just gives you too many points. Plus it's not like you aren't rewarded if MJD catches 5 balls a game before you still get points for the yardage.

I'm glad. My buddy made this point system and we love it, except we play with an OP as well, or basically two QB's. You guys will love the format.

J-man where you at broski

[Romo Ravens]

Ok, everybody is in. Now let's discuss draft time. What's good for everyone? How about the weekend, weekday, Friday? Also, what time? Everyone can just throw some opinions out there.

It doesn't matter to me, As long as we draft before Week 1 starts than I'll be ok. Weekends definitely work for me.

So would you mind late July, early August, or after preseason?

[FlaccoFlicker]

Yeah anything like that is good. I work an 8-5 so anything after 5 pretty much works. Just not July 31. Going to the Inter, Manchester City game.

[TreTheRaven]

Hey, I will be busy over the next few weeks, so I won't be around much till pre-season. But if I can get a date of the draft, it would be appreciated, this way I can show up.

If need be, Romo you can always email me the date too, assuming you still have my email.

[Wacko4Zacko]

Weekends are best for me, and I say before, during or after preseason is fine.

Nope not at all. I would actually say somewhere either Week 3 or 4 of the Pre-season or after the Pre-season sounds good to me.

[Romo Ravens]

Sorry everyone, I haven't been on the computer in about two days. I'm actually on my phone as I post this. I want to knock this sucker out and was actually thinking we could draft on Friday, July 22. If anyone disagrees with this and wants to draft close to or after preseaso, just let me know. I just have an itch to get it started.

Cool, just let us know.

[lowrider]

3 oclock sucks for me. Maybe 4. I work an 8-5, but I'll see if I can take off a bit early. Maybe I'll work late one day or something.

[Romo Ravens]

Scratch Friday. How about Saturday? lowrider, I know you said something about the soccer matchup, but I'm not sure if that was on that specific weekend or not. If it is, we can always do Sunday.

Inter vs. Manchester city is next week. I'm about 95% sure that saturday is perfect. I got a wedding at 4 to go to but as long as the draft isn't from 4-630 range i should be good to go.

Well I have to drive an hour to get to the wedding. If you make it 130 and make the rounds like 45 seconds or less it'll be better (my fault, I forgot there was a drive to the wedding)
