Title: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: Flood on July 20, 2018, 05:55:18 PM


The league continued last year with Haemish as commish - we going to fire it up this year?  People interested in rejoining?


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: HaemishM on July 20, 2018, 07:22:48 PM
Hell yes. I'll restart the league from last year.


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: HaemishM on July 20, 2018, 07:35:52 PM
I went ahead and renewed the league. If you had a team last year, you automatically have the same team this year. I could have made it a keeper league but decided against it. If you want to sign up, the league is here:

https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/228050 (https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/228050)

If you want in, send me a PM with your email address and I'll send an invite. There are 10 teams currently if everyone returns from last year.

Cool thanks Haemish.

I'll stick around for another year

My team was awful last year and somehow I always get a QB I hate, but I'll play again.

Always in.


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: HaemishM on August 14, 2018, 09:22:24 AM
I think we have all 10 teams from last year - does anyone else want to join?


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: ynotgolf on August 14, 2018, 12:26:34 PM
If someone drops or if you find yourself with an odd number of teams, I'd play (haven't played Fantasy Football with WayAbvPar in a few years)

Always in.

I noticed that Yahoo is the only one doing Point Per First Down scoring.

Want to give it a go?

Also, I don't mind opening it to 12 if Haem wants to add those last two in.


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: Abagadro on August 15, 2018, 09:22:15 PM
We have an idea on a draft date yet?


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: HaemishM on August 16, 2018, 07:40:30 AM
I've opened the league to two more slots if we can find another besides ynotgolf. I set the draft date at Sat, Sep 1 8:00pm CDT.

I'm not sure about the Point Per First Down scoring. Anyone else have thoughts on it?



Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: Cyrrex on August 16, 2018, 10:58:15 PM
I like the idea.  Puts more value than just yardage alone.  Does it apply to QBs?


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: MrHat on August 28, 2018, 03:43:25 PM
The settings say 12 teams max, but I only count 10 teams.  Just FYI.


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: HaemishM on August 28, 2018, 05:15:13 PM
Yes, I have one player who has said they'll play but I would like an even number of teams - so I'm keeping that 11th and 12th slot open. Anyone want to join?


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: Ruvaldt on August 28, 2018, 05:35:34 PM
I skipped last season, but I'd play again!


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: HaemishM on August 29, 2018, 07:59:18 AM
PM me your email address that you use for Yahoo and I'll add you and ynotgolf.


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: HaemishM on August 29, 2018, 11:41:09 AM
2 invites sent out, so we should have 12 in the league. Draft is this Saturday, Sept. 1 at 8 pm Central time.


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?

In.

Thanks for the invite!


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: HaemishM on August 29, 2018, 05:15:57 PM
I'm thinking of cutting down the WR/RB slots to only 2/1 and adding a WR/RB/TE slot. Thoughts?


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: WayAbvPar on August 30, 2018, 12:57:02 AM
I am always a fan of more flexibility. Makes waiver pickups and roster construction more interesting.


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: Abagadro on September 01, 2018, 06:50:20 PM
I think my team is criminally bad.


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: Phildo on September 01, 2018, 07:17:15 PM
Which team is yours?  I'm Jameis Lannister for reference.  Need to change mine for this season soon.

Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: Ruvaldt on September 01, 2018, 07:48:21 PM
Happy with my RBs and TE.  I completely forgot this was a 3 WR league though and I was late to the WR party.  As a result, I have some concerns...

Still, I think I like this team.  Looks fun.

For your sake, I hope Beckham and Fournette crush it this year.


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: HaemishM on September 02, 2018, 11:03:53 AM
Jesus, I can't believe I forget this was happening, since I was the one who, you know, set the fucking date.

And yet, other than QB, I like my roster. And the only reason I'm unsure at QB is because Wentz is hurt with no indication when he'll be back and BLAKE GODDAMN BORTLES is my backup.


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: Paelos on September 04, 2018, 07:09:33 AM
My team is actually really good on paper, so I'll likely finish 8th.


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: MuffinMan on September 05, 2018, 03:00:33 PM
Weird that the autodraft didn't give me any bench WR or TE.


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: Cyrrex on September 05, 2018, 11:04:30 PM
I wish there was a way to tell autodraft "hey, only one Kicker goddammit".  And the same goes for defense.  I always end up wasting picks.

In general, I do not like my team.  This rarely happens, and I think it is because I got a middle of the round slot for my picks, which doesn't seem to ever work with my autodraft pre-selection strategy.  Oh well.


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: Phildo on September 06, 2018, 06:26:13 AM
There is a way to tell it how many maximum players you want at a certain position.  You need to fiddle with presets, but the options are there.

Meanwhile, I was torn on my first pick so I asked my fiancee to choose Bell or David Johnson.  She picked Johnson, but I couldn't bring myself to do it because of my Pittsburgh bias.  Whoops!

Ajayi vulturing points like a FF champ. Good lad.


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: WayAbvPar on September 10, 2018, 02:27:41 PM
Gonna end up with the 2nd or 3rd highest point total in week 1 and start 0-1. Same as it ever was.


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: Abagadro on September 10, 2018, 06:45:38 PM
Continuing my tradition of leaving most of my points on the bench.


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: Cyrrex on September 10, 2018, 10:56:56 PM
It bodes ill that my best players this week were my Kicker and my Defense.  Very ill indeed.


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: MrHat on September 15, 2018, 12:29:53 PM
FYI: I feel pretty lucky with Conner RB, so I'm looking to trade Kareem Hunt for a WR1.  Toss me a message or whatever.  I may send out a few trade offers tonight.


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: Phildo on September 19, 2018, 06:37:51 AM
I was looking at throwing you a trade offer, but my team is awful without Bell.  Serves me right for going late on WRs.


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: ynotgolf on September 24, 2018, 10:19:41 AM
After week 3, I think I'm third worst in total points scored by my 3 lineups.  I'm about to go 3-0. 

I feel like the 2018 Seattle Mariners, pre All Star Break.  This shit is totally unsustainable, may as well look for that 5 year extension of my contract (ala Scott Servais and Jerry DiPoto) before reality slaps me back into mediocrity.

And I beat WayAbvPar in week 2, I love this league!!!!

Post by: HaemishM on September 24, 2018, 01:01:23 PM
Way and I are tied down to the decimal point going into tonight's game. I've got Mike Evans and he has DeSean Jackson. Our game will literally come down to the hands of Fitzmagic. It almost makes me want to watch the game.


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: ynotgolf on September 24, 2018, 01:53:08 PM
On a somewhat unrelated note, twenty of us at work threw in $20 each into our Annual NFL Survivor Pool. If Tampa Bay loses tonight, we will have a winner!  After week 3!  Holy fuck, what a first 3 weeks of parody/garbage/ridiculousness.  I'm so glad I don't gamble on sports, I'd be penniless.

You did it!  Your team actually looks pretty decent for a second half run.

Post by: HaemishM on December 20, 2018, 07:05:39 AM
I thought after I got Kamara that Gurley and Kamara would carry me to the championship. About 2 weeks after that, both started getting almost no touches in comparison so I fucked off into oblivion on the back of Carson goddamn Wentz.

Nah, you've got this.

I'd be shocked if my team pulled it off.  The strongest part of the season for me was week 3 - 11.  Once Brees started to fade and Tyreek Hill/David Johnson became less consistent I had a hard time winning games.  I don't even think I'll be playing Brees this week at all.

Post by: ynotgolf on December 20, 2018, 06:59:15 PM
I really loved my team all year, but boy did last weekend's games just prove the "any given Sunday" theorem.

Great job to the top 2 teams, both deserve to be facing off in the finals. 


Title: Re: Bat Country fantasy football for 2018 yea or nay?
Post by: Ruvaldt on December 23, 2018, 06:47:50 PM
This final is a lot of fun.  Projected difference is .55 and we're almost halfway into the evening game on Sunday.  It really could go either way.

Wishing I had played Sony Michel over either of my RBs, but picking up Mayfield and benching Brees was right so one good decision for one bad.  This could come down to MrHat's defense on Monday.

Post by: Ruvaldt on December 24, 2018, 05:29:23 PM
Yeah, I'm not even sure there's anyone left in Oakland who shares my hope for tonight. 

Mahomes had a good second half and that was that.  I had a good run, but MrHat's team is awesome.  He deserves the win.
