NFL Fantasy Game 2014

First topic message reminder :

Welcome to Season 1 of the 606v2 NFL fantasy league. I run the league along with Olly and Sodhat and any decision made by us is final.

A 53 man roster must be retained at all times. Leeway will be given during the draft however prior to the draft beginning and before game week one and from then on the squads must be no more than 53.

The 12 playoff teams are the teams involved in this league and will be handed out on a first-come, first-served basis.

Budgets will be allocated following the first two rounds of the draft. Sodhat, Olly and I will give lower budgets to stronger sides and try to make the sides as balanced as possible. Managers will also be given £15m on the 1st of every month

There will be three types of transfers that will occur in the league:
Foreigns: Foreigns will open after the first two rounds of the draft and will see players from across the league available for monetary value. This will be accepted/rejected by Sodhat/Olly/Me after 24 hours in order to give other managers a chance of counter bidding. Managers can only make 1 bid at a time (until it is accepted or you are outbid) and managers can only make 4 signings every 30 days. Generally world class players cost 30m+; Top quality 25m+; good players 20m+; most backup and others will be between 10m and 20m. This will happen on a foreign transfers page

Draft: There will be 4 rounds of drafting. The first two will occur in a snake like format according to the finishing records in league (worst record picks first etc). Then after the first set of Foreigns are coming to a close (3 days after they open or when everyone runs out of money) another two round draft with the same order will occur.

Domestic Transfers: Teams are encouraged to deal between each other. Signings can be made on either cash or part exchange. These will be confirmed by both managers on the domestic confirmation page.

Player releases: Managers may choose to release players from their squad in order to benefit financially or stay within confines on squad boundaries. Compensation for releases will be as follows:
2011/2012/2013 All Pro = £8m
Prior to 2011 All Pro = £5m
Pro Bowler = £3m
Any other = £1m

Fixtures: There will be ten regular season games with each team playing others from their division home and away. These games will take place over the weekend. Teams will be named by Wednesday with tactics added by 00.00 on Friday. Tactics will be limited to 100 words. The page will be updated and managers will predict on results. An average of all predictions will be taken and then 0.5 added to each teams score for every prediction that saw then win. Managers who provide detail (3 lines) in results will receive £5m whilst just score will receive £2.5m. Failure to regularly predict will lead to punishments. The top 3 teams in each division will make playoffs.

I am happy to do that. Hopefully some interest will come up then

I'm far too busy with work and MMA training to commit to this lads, sorry.

I have decided on a team!

I can barely contain my excitement - please do enlighten us

Sorry I didn't see this until just now. I'll go for the Eagles if still available. Failing that Panthers/Chargers/Broncos in that order please.

So hope Bull was gonna choose the Eagles...

Bull seems to have passed out because of the effort in selecting a team

Can I swap to the Panthers?

They should be more of a challenge than the 49ers and have a few more holes in their roster. Plus I have a draft strategy for them.

Also are we allowed to trade draft positions?

Major Announcement..Bull set to tell the world the team he has decided to join on "THE DECISION LIVE." It is set to be the most anticipated decision to never be anticipated in history.   



"In this fall I'm going to be taking my talents to "Durango Rocks" and join Peyton at the Denver Broncos."[/b]

Challenging yourself Bull?

Brilliant only Panthers and Chargers yet to go. Surprised Panthers haven't gone, lot of defensive pieces to build around

Well I know more players for the Broncos than I do for Ron's Chargers.
Hence why I opted for Peyton's team.

Think mikey wants the Panthers CJB. So 49ers and Chargers to go

I'll give the Chargers a go if no-one else has claimed them yet. Should be an interesting challenge!

Awesome stuff that means only one remains!!!!

It took you that long to pick the best team there?

 

That's what they said about LeBron! Expect a championship and an MVP season from Bull!

You got that right!    Hey look at the transcript of my decision its pretty much a copy of what Lebron said.   

If I remember correctly, Lebron had a meltdown in his first season against the Mavericks.. sounds far more likely for Bull.

Bull mate, are you still going to try and get Brandon Marshall, even though you have a rather good set of WRs .. if so, shotgun Demaryius

It's not a try BamBam it's a I must get Brandon Marshall!!!
But it will be hard considering Demaryuis has been much better so don't think I can afford to let him go.

Although could take Marsh and replace Decker?

Well you are most likely picking last in the draft, he could be long gone by then!

But maybe a cash deal and Decker could persuade ya eh?

I have other targets, but if I get him I know exactly what it will take to trade him to you.

Way more than Decker lol

You want Dermanyuis don't ya??

Oh can we trade up the draft?

Dermanyuis   with that massacre of his name I think you should give me him for free   

49ers left with possibly the best overall starting roster!

That's pretty much why I changed my mind on the 49ers. Not too many holes, low draft pick and probably a low budget too.

Nowhere near as fun

if someone is gagging to have the Seahawks, i don't mind taking the 9ers instead

Nice try Bambam!

We have one team reaming come on!!!

Waiting for bull to announce that the Broncos are leaving Denver and heading for Chicago...

News Leaked: Head coach Bull is set to announce that the Denver Broncos will be moving to the Windy City.   

Dallas

You can't pick the Cowboys...

If Leedscowboys wants Dallas, we could always swap them out for the 49ers ..

But i wasn't allowed the Bears. ;/

Really I'd like it to be the playoff teams and if we are dropping a team it would be Chargers/Packers surely

Fair enough .. we are still one short though, and its been a fair while now

Dallas were almost a playoff team

Very true   

What do people think? Would really prefer San Fran

However Leedscowboys isn't always active on the site?

Someone pick the 49ers. I'm excited to get started.

Its proving tricker than anticipated to find a 12th man .. any Seattle fans   

Any names that ain't already in spring to mind?

Why not drop the 12th team and have a bye week for everyone?

Yeah bye week could work, but would only apply to one division if you are only playing the teams in your own division

Could also just have the 49ers as a team managed by the league admins for now, give them draft picks but without a budget.. Means it's easier to schedule etc but doesn't make them too strong?

As they are one of the strongest teams anyway, no real impact I guess

I agree with BamBam. Just leave the 49ers managerless for now and see if anyone wants to join in later.

We could just manage them by 'committee'. We each nominate a player for their draft picks and most votes is their pick. A sample/ template roster & game plan could easily be made up by admins/ volunteer.
