I dunno what that is.

It's a fantasy football app (free to download)

Here's the link if you're in:

I want to keep it only Gamefaqs guys, so you've got a spot if you want, but I need to know soon

Dunno if I'm interested or not, but I'm always willing to be a team player. Where is this league?

It's on the Sleeper App. Do you want an invite?

azuarc posted...

HPPR = .5 PPR?

(caps)

Yeah. And Superflex

I need, uh, 1 guy for a NFL Board fantasy league (10 team, HPPR Superflex).

@Corrik7
@azuarc

If interested since you're leaving this one? We are drafting in.... one hour...

Suprak the Stud posted...

Alright so the things up for a vote:

1) Should we remove IDPs
2) Should we change offensive roster type from 3 receivers/2 RBs/1 Flex.
3) Should we remove kickers
4) Should we remove defense

Reminder that the league is now 14 players. Yes/no answers on all four would be great!

1) Yes
2) to what?
3) Yes
4) Yes

Draft is now 7:30 next Saturday.

I will be watching the Georgia Philharmonic Orchestra at DragonCon during this time >.>

Initial word is it isn't serious and the walking boot is a precaution

Gurley was the number 1 overall pick, Hunt was like 6th, and Conner was a free agent pickup, so a) your league was ridiculous for letting Hunt fall back to you or for trading him to you when you're already crushing RBs and b) Conner was a waiver guy so he was fair game and c) this is a 2 RB start league (I'm assuming) so it doesn't compare to a 1 RB/2 WR/2 Flex league, for the same reason you can't starve a league of QBs in a 1 QB league.

It was a 2 RB/Flex league. I started 3 RBs every week. And if I had multiple openings on my roster and would have had to drop a RB to fill it, I just left kicker unfilled to fill it. I dominated the league.

I mean, I took DJ in the first last year followed by 4 WRs and started the season with Dion Lewis and Rex Burkhead as my 2/3 RBs and won my league, and started Elijah McGuire and Damien Williams in the finals to win the league, so it's not like you NEED stud RBs and can't spend the whole year flexing WRs.

But for it to be fair, FAAB waivers are 100% necessary.

I mean, this is just wrong, but I don't know how to explain it to you.

At some point, Team drafts RB 15 instead of [comparable WR]. [Comprable WR] scores more than RB15. If you have two flex, you'd rather have WR 15 than RB 15, and if you load up on RBs, you don't end up with WRs that are worth more.

Yeah, RBs 1-14 are worth the most, but you aren't going to end up starting 3 of them. With 1 RB requirement and 3 flex, it makes the most sense for a team to draft a RB workhorse in the first/second then load up on WR talent for the rest of the draft. You really only need 2 reasonable RBs.

I like how you are literally saying you aren't gonna do something I regularly do lol.

I literally rode Gurley, Hunt, Connor to the championship in my money league last year and had 3 RBs on my bench just to starve the league of viable competition. Lol

Like, you're not drafting Mohammad Sanu (WR30 last year) over Chris Carson (RB15), you're picking between Carson and like Tyler Boyd.

No, because once you get past the first, like, 12 RBs, WRs will take over. 3 RBs is only the best if you have 3 workhorse dudes (which you won't get in a 16 team league). The RB1 will outscore the WR1, but once you get to the RB 12, they're being outscored by the WR12, all the way down- WR30 definitely outscores RB30 (which is why people are coveting RB up front)

It is not about getting the best. It's about starving the league of competition.

You have to compare WR30 to RB 15. And RB15 probably wins in most ppr leagues.

If my rejoining the league leads to the league being split in half I will deeply, deeply regret doing so.

I mean, if we are willing to move platforms, we can set up mirror leagues on a different platform and give Suprak shadow commissioner abilities for the one he's not in, start a 4 team playoff on week 14, semifinals on week 15, and just compare the final scores of the finalists cross platform on week 16?

Gets funky because each league will have different trades and what not, but totally doable.

The more I think about it, the more I agree. Though I always found the idea of a WR/TE slot in particular a bit silly, but mostly I like the idea of streaming TEs, picking matchups etc as an alternative to spending heavy draft capital on Kelce/Kittle/Ertz

Something like (QB or Superflex)/RB/WR/TE/Flex/Flex/K/DST with 4 bench (+IR?) sounds good though.

This supports drafting 4 or 5 RBs in your first picks. 3 RBs is your best lineup and it starves the rest of the league of RBs.

That is why I said 1 RB and 1 flex makes most sense in a 16.

No IDPs makes missing the draft easier tbh, since yahoo is too dumb to rank them and you get randos while people who attend get the elite LBs and DEs etc

I can get with that

Everyone saying no to IDPs due to draft reasonings... The best idps are hardly ever drafted. The best ones are always the one who have the most tackles at the end of the year. Most people draft fantasy bums like JJ Watt and shit cuz they think name recognition means something for that in fantasy.

I'm opposed to 2x IDP. At that point, just stream the dudes- no one's gonna blow bench spots on IDP if we have only 5-6 spots, so just punt the position after drafting and pick a safety or LB for a team playing that week. You're point differential vs your opponent would be minimal.

If we want to do IDP, let's actually do IDP and start 2 DBs, 2 LBs, and 2 DL and have a full smattering of IDP, increase the bench by 3, and actually do it right.

Would support [next year] moving to a Player Copy system, I think that would solve a bunch of our problems.

I would sooner support splitting the league into two, I think.

Either would be fine, a player copy system would let you run two equal conferences with cross over and still end playoffs against each other, and with 16-18 players, you could substantially increase the number of starters for each team.

Immaterial, and not to derail this topic, but I'm still filling some spots in an NFLB league as well, if anyone has interest in a secondary league.

For larger leagues, fewer base skill position requirements & more Flex is better, IMO

Would support another flex spot (6 flex starters x 16 teams is 96 flex, or 3 players per NFL team, which is pretty reasonable) - maybe 6 bench? Wouldn't do an IR under Yahoo's rules. Makes decisions tougher.

A superflex spot instead of a dedicated QB spot is actually intriguing, but god help anybody who ever has to start a non-QB in that spot

Yep, but if it was just a QB spot, you're eating a zero and completely fucked!

Would actually say it would be reasonable to make the TE into a Receiving flex (TE/Receiver) so you aren't boned if you don't have a top guy, but the top guys still have value.

For larger leagues, fewer base skill position requirements & more Flex is better, IMO

I have DragonCon next weekend so I would rather draft before then >.>

Also, I've got a draft Saturday afternoon, two drafts on Sunday, and another draft on Tuesday, so... I'd prefer a Monday night draft I guess?

TheArkOfTurus posted...

That's a flex spot that allows for a QB instead of a dedicated QB slot? Interesting. Does Yahoo have that option?

Probably, most platforms do.

QBs almost always score more than any other position (typical stat line is 250 yards & 2 TDs is 18 points, and you need 120 yards and a TD to get that for another position), so you're gonna want to start a QB anyways, but it doesn't completely hamstring a team that has their QB on bye on a week when like 10 teams are on bye (which puts their opponent at a huge event just because of luck)

Also, we should do FAAB waivers instead of continuous for a league this big.

For 16:

Get rid of IDP

1 Superflex
1 RB
1 WR
1 TE
3 Flex

7 bench

Would get rid of K and DST, that's just preference.

Doesn't Yahoo allow you to do janky shit like drop players from your bench after they've played for the week?

Its going to be on yahoo due to the vote.

JFC allowing people to vote who haven't even tried both platforms shouldn't even be allowed.

I've been in both, preference would be ESPN > Yahoo, but Sleeper shits on both of them, but I was too late to vote T_T

Uh is there one that's not free

Several platforms are not free, such as fleaflicker or MFL

Suprak the Stud posted...

Yep youre in!

Its going to be on yahoo due to the vote. Im open to switching leagues again next year but Ill need to put it up to a vote first.

Im probably going to do draft Friday or Saturday night one of the next two weeks. Thoughts?

Preference to next Friday because the weekend after is DragonCon >.>

What are the settings we play under?

Still recommend everyone take a look at the Sleeper league as well. It's a great app.

I shot @Suprak_the_Stud a message, but I am also interested in participating (currently commissioning 3 leagues- did a Gamefaqs NFLB league last year but that probably isn't happening this year) - just saw this topic.

Would actually recommend neither Yahoo or ESPN. I've been using "Sleeper" for all of my leagues- it's much more streamlined and is a lot more customizable; better chat functionality, better alerts, three way trading is a default, can trade FAAB, can manually set what day waivers clear, tiered PPR (ie can set receptions for negative yards as 0 points per reception, vs a full or half point), decimal kicker scoring (37 yard FG = 3.7 points), you could set everyone to have an extra median game if desired, and it's free.

Would recommend checking out a test league (link below) and even if you wouldn't want to use it as a competition platform, the alerts on players are second only to following Adam Schefter on Twitter -

I'll have to see another fight from Rainbow before I can throw it into the "lethal joke bot" category with HUGE, but that weapon definitely did the job. Quantum vs. Lock-Jaw is up next! Will we have another controversy like Quantum's last fight against Blacksmith? Or something more clear-cut?

He literally had a guy who didn't have a name as a character. The flavor meta made little sense. HB lucked out too that Cap was A. not on the town list B. Thor flipped Vanilla.

It's not really luck that Cap wasn't on the town list; it was an intentional decision by the host. Cap was on the safelist.

They also refused korn and Corn for things you mix up on K.

oh my god the people you are playing with are such GOOBERS

clever answers to scattergories questions is the fucking HEART AND SOUL of the game

if you're rejecting answers for being too clever then you're playing boring scattergories

I actually would reject this answer too, because no one really actually mixes those up.

Back in high school, a girl asked me if I liked Korn, and I was like "On the cob?" And she was like "No."
