1Emulation Fantasy Football League!

[i l l m a t i c]

anyone interested in creating a fantasy league?

[Gryph]

What does this entail?

[Sultan]

Sure, if it doesn't cost. I lose horribly every year and don't feel like paying to do it

[Sultan]

ah wait, you mean american football right? I think that's probably important to state

Very important. We have football... Americans like to call it soccer. We call throwing the old pigskin "American football".

I would be interested. It would divert me for some time.

How does this work anyways. I've never tried this type of thing before, only footy tipping.

 

Anywayz, i'm intrested.

Before the season starts, you pick players from a list of the entire league. Then each week you select players to play in a matchup against another entry. Then it takes the stats each player scores in actual games that week and converts it into points. If all your players total more points than the other guy's players that week, you win. And the last few weeks of the season are a playoff to determine the overall winner.

 

There are other ways to do it, but that's the general format. The trick is to figure out which of your players is going to do well that week based on the team they are actually playing.

 

I'm much better at fantasy basketball, but don't mind having fun and losing at fantasy football. Last year I was like 2-10 Damn you Michael Vick and Marshall Faulk!

What league are we talking about exactly - English,Italian, Spanish etc, or do you list players or something.

 

And stats wise, which stats are we actually talking about. It's easy for basketball (ie rebounds, steals, points etc), but there isn't really any stats like that for soccer. Headers, kicks, slidetackles? That would really suck.

 

I suggest me just choose strikers or something, and tally up goals.

[AntiWinner22]

We are talking about American football. We are going to use the NFL of America for this fantasy league.

Oh ok. I just got confused when Alexis mentioned Argentina as they are a soccer mad nation.

 

Anyways, i still want in.

 

Don't really know any modern players as it doesn't get much coverage here in Australia, as we have like 4 different football leagues (Aussie Rules, Rugby League, Union and Soccer). At least i've played quite a bit of Madden and NFL Blitz so i understand the game - to an extent.
