Scumleague FF 2017 (1 ACL and counting...)

[PJ.]

Serriously though can we consider turning off trades entirely?

Isn't fantasy anymore without trading, honestly.

Trading is legit the worst part and super unfair. It's usually only used for collusion/or some desperate idiot getting fleeced out of his only good player.

[PokerFace]

Uhm the league settings for our league KMD mention 1 IR position. Since when have we started doing that?

[mith]

That's Yahoo standard (as of last year?). Previously NFL IR meant out for season, but now there's a short term IR.

[PokerFace]

I didn't see that feature last year. Did anyone actually use it?

How exactly does it work? I never played with that feature before

[Wraith]

theoretically, say you want my #1 pick and for it, I want your first, third and fourth round picks. Say we agree. You tell me who you want at #1 and I tell you all who I want when your #12th, 25th, and 37th picks. We obviously trade after the draft and you'll be 2 players down but then you can just use the waiver wire to pick up players.

Like, its doable but I think any trades would have to be made public and enforced by the commish after the draft.

In a 12-team league that is not feasible whatsoever.

[PokerFace]

yay^ if something like that were to get organized I would change my vote to No.

[PokerFace]

Not sure what my schedule will be in upcoming days. Will update when is good when I know more

If the fantasy baseball ir works the same, you just put the injured guy in the ir slot allowing you to sign someone else until the injured player is back. Id assume thats how it works

[D3f3nd3r]

Yeah it's that, you get an extra slot (that I think can now accommodate IR players and PUP list players) to store a player while they're injured to pick another player. Though if you store them there and they get healthy you have to drop someone to put them back in your lineup and cannot make any waiver wire acquisitions until you do.

[PokerFace]

Did our league from last year accidentally get recreated? And by that I mean I see our league from last year with all teams in it setup for the 2017 season and our league for this year setup for the 2017 season in a separate listing. I see that I have two mafiascum teams

I think we already did something similar to that once. Like trading, draft picks seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to do do I'm not really opposed to the idea in general but its seems like it might be a little hard to do.

[mith]

I don't know why last year's L2 renewed. But it shouldn't be active. I'll double check at some point.

Not sure if I'll get the draft drawing done today but definitely sometime this weekend.

[mith]

Ok, I deleted all the teams from last year's L2, so it shouldn't be showing up for anyone now.

League 2

We're still waiting on three people (Panzer, Locke, and Poker if I'm not mistaken) to join and fill out the whenisgood. But the other nine of us don't have a single time that works for everyone. We have three times that only have one person unable to make it. Any other time excludes at least two.

All but hascow can make:
Wednesday August 23rd 9pm EST

All but Pablito can make:
Thursday August 24th 9pm EST

Tuesday September 5th 9pm EST

^I'm removing this time because we now have two who can't make it. (Updated 8/14)

Anybody want last pick? I don't want it a second year in a row if I can avoid it.

[T-Bone]

[TwoInAMillion]

[PokerFace]

I love how our league system has amusing draft methods every year

I already joined league 2. Will fill out the when is good thing shortly

Edit: filled it out

[zoraster]

I'll send out draft survey today.

[PJ.]

7th. Fuck. I hate your kid. I don't feel proud to admit this.

[TheDominator37]

Somebody looked at a bunch of our past seasons last year and saw that there have been at most 2-3 people that got screwed out of playoff berths by divisions.

I remember last year i had the best record but if i lost the last game of the season i would have had the third best and misssd the playoffs

[Flameaxe]

You made l1 playoffs last year though...?
