New FOFC Fantasy Football League - ESPN

[cmp]

I am looking to create a new FOFC Fantasy Football League using ESPN. I know a lot of people don't like to use ESPN but I enjoy it and would love to have an FOFC ESPN league.

Settings:

Auction Draft

10 Teams
QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, FLEX, K, D

7 Bench

Passing TD worth 6.

.04 points per passing yard.
.1 point per rushing or receiving yard


PM and respond to the post with your email if you want a spot.

$ or for fun? I have nothing against playing for fun but feel like $ (even a little bit) gives people an incentive not give up after the draft goes bad.

[cmp]

I was thinking this season just for fun, seeing how the league went and then hopefully come back next season and add a $ fee to it. But I am not at all opposed to a small entry fee if we had enough that wanted to pay.

Id much prefer Yahoo?

There's already a few FOFC Yahoo leagues, personally I enjoy ESPN better so I wanted to make a league on ESPN.

[Danny]

Ah ok, I'll monitor it, but I think im full on free leagues. Yahoo makes it more tempting since my other leagues are there and it makes it easier to check in

[msubball]

I'd like a spot, pm sent.

Curious, at least. Only scoring difference is per-yard scoring and the 50% bump to pass TDs?

[MacroGuru]

Im in, sending a PM..it will be a joint team with my son...he wants to get into fantasy football.

I have never done an auction draft, but sounds fun. Do we know when the draft will be?

[Chief Rum]

I'm down for this.

Any thoughts on making it a PPR league?

[Arles]

I would do it as well.

Solid. Wish the league I had RG3 and Brady in last year had that scoring...

Count me in.

[cmp]

Just send me a pm with your email or post it here and I'll send you an invite.

Invites sent to those who have pm'd or posted here already.

[cmp]

7 of 10 spots filled so far.

[cubboyroy1826]

Any ideas on when we are looking at drafting?

[Danny]

Ok, I'll join. Would like it if we can all put up somewhere from $10-$25 though.

[BYU 14]

I'm in

[cmp]

We are all full as of now. Looking at a draft of Wednesday, August 21st at 8 EST currently.

I'd throw in a token amount, if it'll help keep you all honest.

[cmp]

How many are able to hold the draft Wednesday the 21st at 8 EST.

It's early enough that I should be able to keep that off from my second job.

CUtting it a little close for me, but should be able to make it

[cubboyroy1826]

I will not available that day until about 9:30 EST. I coach two soccer teams and our practice finishes up at 8pm CST. If I am the only who cannot make it then I can step down and I am sure someone else can take my place. Either way no biggee.

[cmp]

Any other times work for the majority? How about a Sunday evening? The 25th? Or even later on a weeknight? 9 EST? 9:30? 10?

I can do a Sunday evening/afternoon and later on weeknight works too, I get home at 7 from practice, but that is 10 EST, which is kind of late for folks in that time zone

[Danny]

Those should all be fine with me

[cubboyroy1826]

I am good with a Sunday late afternoon or evening and the 25th would work.

[cmp]

Now looking at Sunday, August 25th at 8 PM Eastern. How does that time sound?

[Chief Rum]

Works for me.

[Arles]

Fine for me

[cubboyroy1826]

Good for me.

[SirFozzie]

Cool beans

[BYU 14]

Good for me

[Danny]

CMP, can you go ahead an replace me? This draft ended up overlapping with my money league draft.

[Danny]

Or move the draft a couple hours earlier?

[Arles]

I can't go much more than an hour earlier as I have a birthday party to attend.

[Danny]

An hour earlier should be ok, I'll may just have to leave a tough early as that would give two hour between drafts

[cubboyroy1826]

Good with me.

[cmp]

I can move it an hour or two earlier without a problem.

[Chief Rum]

I saw it was switched to earlier to compensate Danny. That's fine, but could we edge it back a little later so I can be sure to be clear of my day shift? Danny said an hour earlier would be fine (from 5 p.m. to 4 p.m. my time). A move to 3 p.m. means I am probably still at my job.

I have never done an auction draft for football before, and never a live one for any sport period. So I don't know how important it is if I am there at the start.

Even if it can't be moved up to 3:30 p.m. or 4 p.m., though, I should be in attendance at some point.

I would also appreciate a bump to 7pm EDT. As of now, I have 2 drafts right on top of each other.

[cubboyroy1826]

I am good with either time.

[Danny]

Guys, sorry my earlier change request messed it up for some of you. Maybe it can still be moved an hour later

[BYU 14]

I am good for whatever, just waiting to hear

Very happy with my draft. Only small oopsy was nominating Flacco. I didnt actually want him, but wanted to clog up other rosters with him. Was still able to get the two QBs I wanted though. Ill likely end up dropping flacco
