The ToO's Fantasy Football League

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

Well get ready to be creamed by the Texas Staleys. (Da Bears Rock!) And it says the draft is auto-pick. Does that mean it automatically picks or we set up a list and it picks?

Yay for the Winoka Warriors! :dance: And if you don't know who they are, you need to watch more Little House on the Prairie episodes. :x

I don't know much at all about football, although I like to watch sometimes, so this should be interesting. You can all laugh at ignorant, last place, little Laura. ;)

Instructions for the players:
1. Go to the league.
2. Click the "My Team" tab.
3. Go to "Edit Pre-Draft Player Rankings" (to rank your favorite players) or "Edit Autopick Strategy" (to create strategy).

Basically, if you think Peyton Manning will be a better quarterback than Michael Vick this season, you rank Manning higher. You can do that for all the positions, and it increases your chances of the computer picking that player for your team.

Or... you can not do any of that, and hope you get really lucky this season. \:D/

Welcome aboard, JWS! More players welcome! :D

EAST: Amazing Epicness (American Eagle), bookworm's team (bookworm), Southwood Knights (Stop Wooton' Around)

WEST: Winoka Warriors (Laura Ingalls), Texas Staleys (Knight Fisher), Da Jays (Jason Whits Son)

Divisions were chosen at random. You all have until tomorrow night to set your draft preferences (see this post). \:D/

By the way, KF, your team image is amazing. ;)

Yes, it is, sorry. The draft is in a few hours.

Haha, you'll do fine... I played the Hockey league with no knowledge. \:D/ (Last place, but still...)

Hey, since you're online, maybe we can work it out. Create an ESPN account by tonight, send me the account username and email address and I'll send you an invite. If you can accept the invitation before I go to bed tonight, I'll let you in. Quickly!

Edit: It's too late now. Oh well. It would've been complicated with 7 anyway, but sorry we couldn't work it out. :|

YES! I have the awesomest team ever! I never expected the draft to go that good.

EDIT:Woah AE why do we have 4 byes? I mean 1 or 2 yeah. But 4? Especially with back to back ones and the last week having byes.

EDIT 2: Um AE there is a major problem with the schedule. Da Jays have 8 and everyone else has 4. Including one person with 4 in a row. Can we change that? Because we have more byes than games.

Uh not quite. Now there are only two playoff teams. And one round of playoffs. :anxious:

EDIT: And you can't have your two top teams face off in week seventeen. Because a lot of starters wont be playing.
