How would it work Irish? Over here in UK, it's usually worked like this;

1 x QB
2 x RB
2 x WR
1 x TE
1 x DEFENSE
1 x KICKER

Would we be able to pick the same players or would it be done on some sort of draft system?

I am interested in playing btw

[irabowman]

I personally see drafting or having draft as the hard part. I'll give it a go at least 1 season if it goes good and smooth I'll be in again. If not I'll probably be out in future.

[IrishGuy65]

rush, you'd pick the following:

QB
RB+WR=5 (5 players, they can be RBs or WRs)
TE
Defense
Special Teams

ira, there is no drafting. Everyone sends me a message with their base team for the year. Once everyone is in, I will post all the teams. GMs can adjust their roster every week if they choose. The base team will be used if I get no adjustments. Every week, I will post scores and adjustments made by each team. The one rule, so far, is you can't use a player or team on your roster that is involved in a game you are involved in. So I couldn't use any Huntsville players, or Defense/ST, nor could I use any players or Defense/ST of the team I'm playing against. If you have a player in your basic team, that is fine, but you can't adjust or change your basic team to a player involved in a game that week that you are involved in.

Also, this is the first season so really it's a test run. We will make tweaks up until the end of preseason to rules and stuff if anyone posts their ideas.

After the season, we can reflect back and make any further tweaks that would be necessary. This is not for money, just for fun. Also, it shouldn't be a lot of hard work for anyone but me, as I have to talley all the scores :D

Sounds good. I'm in if you get enough interest

[irabowman]

OSFL wise you are going to love it if your say RB you just drafted is the next Emmitt Smith \ Barry Sanders and scores 2-3 TDs every game. You are going to hate it if he is only RB in league doing so and can't use him. Going to be interesting indeed. Oh I assure you that RB is not on my Outlaw's team lol.

I understand. While I don't think anyone would do this, what could happen is a team passes all year long, and the GM is in the running at the end of the season to win the fantasy league, but is far and away out of the playoffs. It's easy to take your RB and run 100% with him, thus trying to gain the necessary points to win the league... No one will take him, because the team throws the ball so often, so it's a good situation. Or better, a running team that decides to air it out at the end of the season. Just take your QB and 2 WRs and throw for 400 yards and 3 TDs., even if you lose the game, you'll get plenty of fantasy points.

I don't think there's any situation where one guy is SO much better than the rest that he'll dominate. But, if so, that's life. :D

and it's all a bit of fun at the end of the day. I hope we get a lot of interest in this...
