ok, we really need one more person to join the fantasy league and do so immediately!! please refer to the first post in this thread for instructions on signing up. we have 9 teams. one more will give us 10, a great number for making sure that everyone gets a potentially talented team.

bump

Since you folks seemed desparate I joined in. I hope the league is more active than usual Yahoo Leagues I've been in. The last time I played both my teams made it to the finals and I only touched the teams twice during that season. One of them one the whole thing. I typically play ESPN's FFL. But I'm a bit biased since I use to work for their Fantasy Sports division.

cool deal a2daj!! welcome to Zag Ball!!

we now have 10 teams and i've just gone ahead and closed the league. i'll be making us draft ready either late friday nite or early sat morn. (which means between midnight fri and around 11 am on sat.) it would be nice to hear everybody check in today and let me know they are draft ready (be sure to give your team name as macosx and yahoo id's aren't always the same). if everybody is good to go, i'll get us in line to draft sooner.

as for how active - i can't speak for everybody else, but i play pretty seriously - always managing my team, always looking for up and coming free agents, etc.

i'll have to agree that yahoo is not the best fantasy setup, but they seem to be the only ones left that are free which is obviously what we need.

Deuces Wild- draft ready

Go fer it (gee, this feels like Apollo 13 right before they launch). System good to go.

How much draft preparation should you do? I just picked a few choice players, about fifteen. I'm new to this fantasy football, how much more should I do?

well, keep in mind that we each have 25 roster spots to fill. with 10 teams, the top 30 players will probably be gone in the first 4 rounds assuming that some of us have moved up some other players to replace them. if you are simply trying to jockey a few choice players into better odds of getting them, then chances are stacking your top 15 should do that. if you are trying to be sure you fill your squad out with players you want then moving some people up from lower drafting spots will help. for instance moving some players from out of the 60-150 range into your top 25 picks would probably assure you get them, but the thing is the whole list diminishes in size with each round. it's not exactly a science but it helps. in the end, much of it is a crapshoot anyway.
