2012 FOFC NFL Auction/Keeper League

[Julio Riddols]

The thing is in this league trades will be hard to make because the values of the players involved will have to be factored in. There are no draft picks to offer, so it would have to be player for player. I just don't see the opportunity for many trades to be made.

I think there is pretty good oprritunity. For example, I have both Antonio Brown and Jordy Nelson on my roster. I should be able to trade one of them for a player I may want to keep at another position.

It seems like people who make schrewd financial moves the previous season should have a chance to be rewarded.

You're number 3 on the waitlist so you will get which team is left over after cmp and bhlloy choose.

[Danny]

I am taking

RB Donald Brown
TE Aaron Hernandez

[Danny]

There should not be trades this season, too short of notice. Would have to be for next year

[cmp]

I'll take the End Zone Gladiators

[kingfc22]

So looking into the offseason trade topic a bit more. Yahoo does not allow trades in its system, until the draft is complete and the rosters are finalized.

This could lead to issues for example:

Team A has:
QB Rodgers
QB Brady
QB Stafford

Team A can only keep 1 (QB), but would like to trade the other two for Team B's RB and Team C's WR. In order to process the trade to Team B and Team C, Team A would need to carry 3 QB's on it's roster during the auction which may lead to Team A being unable to bid on any QB's since they technically have 3 on their roster. I've tried to see if this is the case or not, but have not found anything.

To me it is pretty silly to not be able to trade in the offseason in a keeper league but it is what it is.

Once the league is complete and I can access the keeper allocation. I will check to see if I can allocate players to other teams.

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

i'm not a huge fan because if you're out of it you could just cherry pick a bunch of ir guys and flip them into assets the next year.

i don't know the specifics of this trade though

I am fine with trades if people want it, but not this year. You need rules ahead of time.

[bhlloy]

I'll take Party at Moon Tower

I think this is kind of the point, you should be rewarded if you have the foresight to draft or pick up really well at one position and end up with a few good options that you aren't going to be able to keep.

But I also agree with Danny's position that if it wasn't in the rules for this year, it's tough to spring on everyone. And if Yahoo can't support it, then it kind of makes the whole thing moot.

[kingfc22]

[spleen1015]

Shit. I forgot to send keepers.

[kingfc22]

Draft in 40 minutes!

[Raiders Army]

I didn't forget to send in keepers. I just couldn't hold on to anyone for the price. Can't wait for the draft. Grilling some chicken, but will be done before the draft.

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

fyi, i'm on my pos laptop. if i disappear don't be alarmed. i *should* return

[kingfc22]

just noticed Yahoo did not save the starting auction amounts. It was fine last night before I went to sleep. Now it is listing everyone with a $200 budget.

But the draft app has it imported correctly. Phew.

[Danny]

For some reason had the draft marked as soon, no repeat for me.

[kingfc22]

Draft is complete

[Danny]

Norvturneroverdrive looks awfully good

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

bah, it's just not the same without you danny

[Scoobz0202]

One of worse years I've had in drafting in awhile. Just not really happy with any of my teams.

[Danny]

Well, I am still in the league, just have a terrible team because I missed most of the auction

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

take it as a challenge. see if you can spin straw into gold

[Doug5984]

Not too happy with my team- missed out on the big $$$ guys so ended up over paying for mediocre talent to fill the roster

[Scoobz0202]

I should have spent more money on RBs (or at least got a RB2, god damn). I paid early for 3 WRs when WR is deep and RB is shit.

[Danny]

thats true, I will consider any playoff appearance a success here. I went with Locker and Wilson hoping I could strike Newton like gold, we'll see lol.

[bhlloy]

I have the worst WR of any league I think I've ever played in. Gotta hope Titus Young wins that #2 spot and Stafford stays healthy, then it might just be below average. Not happy with my team either.

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

way too early to be up or down. teams that look great on paper in week 1 can be awful by week 6. the opposite is also true

i just hope participation is as good as last year. for a free league everyone played with a lot of pride

[Julio Riddols]

I liked everything I did in this draft except for winning the bid on Rivers and nominating WR Vincent Brown. Hopefully everyone stays healthy and Alfred Morris turns into Mike Anderson.

[spleen1015]

I'm totally lame. I forgot all about the draft yesterday.

The good news is that last year I drafted my own team and it was terrible. I can only do better this year with the AI drafting for me!

[Lathum]

Wow, and on a 15 yard Michael Turner run on the last play I get the come from behind win.

[Scoobz0202]

I'm not too happy with your wife right now

[Lathum]

Another crazy win this week, pulled it off by .20. There was also a game that was decided by .05

[spleen1015]

Wait until you play me and you can win by 100.20!

[Scoobz0202]

I'm happy to finally put a W on the board.

[Julio Riddols]

Have you guys seen the recaps on the matchup page? They're awesome.

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

whoa that is cool. generic but cool

[Lathum]

those are pretty neat

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

also, WHY WON'T ANYONE TRADE WITH ME?!?!?

you guys should be lining up to deal with me. i'm the master of dumping a guy the week before he goes off

[Raiders Army]

Sorry, I can't give up Brady.

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

it wasn't directed at you. i've proposed trades to pretty much the entire league (maybe i'm that guy... am i that guy? nahhh)

the response i get is go get your fuckin shine box

[spleen1015]

You haven't proposed to me.

[Lathum]

me neither. I would take Cruz off your hands

[kingfc22]

I'm so desperate for points right now that I'm forced to start two TE's.
