Fantasy Football 2017!

[bickman2k]

We're back! I sent out invites to all players who played last year, but if you want in, let me know so I can get a feel for how many players we'll have this year and to adjust the league settings if needed.

I'm in.





What do you think about changing the points for defense "Points Allowed" stuff?

They are this now:

Points Allowed 0 points        10    
Points Allowed 1-6 points      7    
Points Allowed 7-13 points    4    
Points Allowed 14-20 points   1    
Points Allowed 21-27 points    0    
Points Allowed 28-34 points    -1    
Points Allowed 35+ points      -4

The way the NFL is these days, it seems like the last few years this category often has a minimal affect on the fantasy game. NFL games very often end with close scores and in the 20-something point range. This kinda makes the fantasy defense a minor factor much of the time unless they recover turnovers or something.

What about adjusting the scoring a little to make the defense matter more?

This is just an example of what I mean, I haven't really thought through the implications of this exact set up too much:

Points Allowed 0 points       12    
Points Allowed 1-6 points     9    
Points Allowed 7-13 points    6    
Points Allowed 14-20 points   3    
Points Allowed 21-27 points    0    
Points Allowed 28-34 points    -3    
Points Allowed 35+ points      -6

I wanted to play last year but couldn't. So I hope you can let me this year.

I got the email, just haven't had the time to sign up yet. But I am still in!

Because I have way too much time on my hands I added all the scores of both the winner and loser of every game last year and divided all 512 scores to the actual raw score number of 11,679 which gives you an average points total of 22.8105. This was just the regular season. The playoffs wouldn't change the data much.

Of course this year doesn't really have to end up like last year but data like this will likely trend to be the same since the era is still the same. Of course maybe in 20 years the game will have evolved again but for now it holds up.

Would like to be a part of this, this year.

[Shepy]

I'd like in! I haven't been in for a couple years.

[Sirgin]

I'm in! Let's see if I can defend my title!

[bickman2k]

We currently have 7 teams. We need at least one more. If you want an invite, please send me a PM and I can get an invite sent over.

[bickman2k]

We have 8 teams with 2 more invites out this morning. When do we want to try to draft? This weekend work? Either Saturday or Sunday?

[Shadow Kisuragi]

I should probably sign up for this.

[blcklblskt]

Drafting works for me on Saturday or Sunday.

[RobotWillie]

I have signed up, thanks!

[nupoile]

Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon would work for me, west coast time.

I should probably sign up for this.

Being a former RFG FF champ kinda obligates you to playing 

[Fokakis79]

Saturday or Sunday works for me as well
