I don't like 10 team leagues. No thought has to be used, and everybody has superstars 2 deep. If it gets to 12 teams, then I'm in.

 

[flamingrey]

If august can find 2 more takers, I'll join with you to make 12.

Cool. Sounds good.

 

[kramer1]

I agree 10 teams is terrible. My money league has 14 teams.

 

[cincygrad]

I've never done 14 teams. What happens on bye weeks? You must have teams that have to start Charlie Whitehurst or Chad Henne.

 

[vancelot23]

I did a 14 team league last year, and it was NOT easy. My backup QB got hurt, and it was Philip Rivers bye week, and literally, there was not QB available. I picked up Chad Pennington, who then got hurt in the 1st QTR.

It's a bitch. We also are allowed 1 keeper. So, on draft day there are like 3 RB's left worth a damn and they all go in the top 3 picks. When the league started 8-9 years ago I miraculously drew the #1 pick and I rode Tomlinson's ass to 2 titles. Now I have no rb's to speak of. My keep is Drew Brees...whoopty fuckin doo.

And I'm sure those 20 INTs helped you a whole lot last year huh Kramer?

I finished near last place.

 

[redbengal1000]

I'm in a 16 team league with 5 keepers. I just took over a team that wasn't so hot. It has tagged players and a ton of rules, to make it realistic. As deep and confusing as it is, its a helluva lot funner than 10 team leagues. I'd play 10 or 12 though.

 

[bengaldoug]

Speaking of August's fantasy league, has anyone bothered inviting August?

 

[flamingrey]

On several occassions...

 

[Tubbs1518]

So are we just going to do it in a thread on here? Or are we gonna use a website or what?

 

[jwil007]

Im gonna win the league anyway! LOL

 

[icehole3]

is it yahoo or CBS?

 

[vancelot23]

Not sure. He hasn't said that I know of.

 

[bengaldoug]

We can hold the draft right here in this thread, right?

 

[vancelot23]

I suppose we could.

 

[redbengal1000]

Wouldn't it be easier doing it in a live draft, other than a thread? Probably would be quicker and easier to see which players are available, wouldn't it?

And I don't have any other accounts for FF other than ESPN, but if it's on another site I can make one.
