hey man, nice round up !!!!

I was stunned to see youd knocked me off top spot !!!!! All my high scoring players (watters, wheatley esp- were benched, so that shat me a bit)
106 points is a damn good effort- last year was the first time i did this game and the biggest score i saw was about 120 odd- so something to aim for.

Anyways- DonsR tops- if youre reading (or alive) i want Frank Wycheck and am willing to swing a blockbuster trade.

i also nabbed T Holt and J Horn off waivers !!! Very Handy !!
Is no one else checking there ??? haha !!

and sandie- i notice you have Issac Bruce on the bench. Get him on the team asap !!!!
a word of advice.

this is a good way to amuse ones self in the off season i must say. (esp when the Dons trading dept seems to have gone into a coma)

Go the Jets !!

A.

 

[sandie]

Arch, how do I get him off the bench & on to the team, also WCE200 wants me to trade Tony Banks for Marvin Harrison, but he is a higher ranked player than Warner & I've just made him my QB, what do you think?

 

[Arch]

sandie- go to your roster, and next to the players names (on the left) it'll have either a postition (ie QB, RB, WR, Off Flex) which means theyre playing or it'll have "Bench", which means they arnt selected.

Just change the little box next to I Bruce to either WR or Off Flex, and put one of your other starters on the bench.(id suggest JJ Johnson- but its up to you who you play).
Then go to the bottom of the page and click "update roster" then it'll ask you to confirm the transaction.

You have a roster of 20 players total, but you can only start 11 (ie the other 9 players points wont add to your weekly score), so you have to try and choose the players who you think will earn u the most points. hope that helps a little.

As for the trade- that sounds like a fair enough trade- as Harrison is pretty good, but Banks is also pretty good at the minute. Tough call really.

Maybe post the trade at: http://www.thehuddlelounge.com/cgi-bin/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=Fantasy+Advice&number=7&DaysPrune=5

and see what some seppo experts think of it !!!

Cheers

A.

PS- get warner back at starter- the Rams are playing the 49ers next week and the 49ers suck, so Warner will have a feild day ( me thinks).

Mantis:
This is what i wrote to you, in the trade section. You may not have read it yet so here it is:
This is a very good trade for both of us Mantis and if you don't seriously consider this, you've lost your mind. Tony Banks is a QB, and you have 4 QB's averaging over 10 Pts a game. I have only 1 QB who is in the positive for their PTS scored this year. So you can afford to lose a QB while i desperataly need one. Marvin Harrison is WR/Off. Flex. Were i have 7 players averaging more than 10 PTS a game, plus 2 other players who are very good just struggling at the moment. While you only have 1 player WR/RB/Off. Flex averaging more than 10 PTS a game. So you desperatly need one of those guys, while i can afford to get rid of one. In summary: QB's: you have enough good ones and can afford to lose one. I desperetaly need another QB. WR's: you hardly have any good WR's. I have plenty of good Off. Flex and WR's and can afford to lose one. Seriously consider this trade, it is a plus for both us.

Tony Banks is playing well at the moment, but generally Kurt Warner is the better play. He was the MVP last season.
If you dont want to trade Banks because he is in such great form, i will trade Harrison, for another of your QB's, because i desperately need a back-up QB. So i'll trade Harrison for Warner, McNown or Couch. I dont really care because they're all good, but i need a back-up if my QB is injured or is not playing anyone on a particular weekend.
Lets put it this way, the simple way because you dont understand a whole lot about American Football:
I need another QB and you need another WR.

OK I'll trade McNown or Couch because I want to keep Warner & Banks, I'm having trouble getting into Sandbox at the moment, but as soon as I can I will try & work out how to do it. Do you know?

[WCE2000]

Hey Arch:
I'm preparing for our big 4th round clash, lets just hope were still undefeated at this stage.
In preparing i've gone and secured some players of the free agents list - Jeremiah Trotter, ave: 10/game. Jay Bellemay, ave: 12/game.
Now i've got a list that seems very hard to beat on paper. All players in the starting 11 are ranked in the top 10 for their position.
I'm very determined to win this and make up for my total shocker in the AFL Fantasy Football on afl.com.au
Anyway, i suggest, you yourself, try and secure some big free agents, and setup this blockbuster.
BTW, i'm not all that happy, you just got Shannon Sharpe before i was able to claim him.
Anyways, that happens sometimes.
Looking forward to week 4.

[Arch]

well I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw Joe Horn and Torry Holt on the free agents list !!!!

I actualy had shannon sharpe from the draft, saw he got no points in the first week, dropped him, then noticed on foxsports that he took a few big catches in week two. Went back to the waivers and resigned him again.

anyways- im pretty happy with my list now- its just a matter of making sure I dont bench the wrong guys each week.

[Stealth bomber]

I urge all of you with Green Bay Packers on your roster to drop 'em like a lead balloon. They're sucking so bad it's not funny.

 

[sandie]

Thanks fot that Stealth, luckily I haven't got any.

Hey Arch do me a favour and have a look at my list and see what you think as you can see im in dead last and could use some advice. I went to the waivers list and picked up some players and waived a few so after my 2-0 start ive retooled my line up but any tips would be appreciated. Looking forward to week 3 after i dropped some dead weight and picked up some free agents.

Took a punt on Davis and right now he aint coming good might bench him and wait and see if he picks up his form. Its a bad start but im determined to turn it around. Thundergods 2000 !!! heh

 

[sandie]

WCE
Harrison is on the injury list with a questionable shoulder. If you want to get a QB, try & get one from the waive list.
Sorry, but I don't need injured palyers.

------------------
Mantis

 

[Arch]

sandie,
i think the NFL rates injured players as either- questionable, probable, out, or injured reserve. Questionable usually means for this week only. IR means out for the season. out means defintiely out for this week. so i doubt harrisons injury is severe in any way.

jod- if you click on that link i posted above, it takes you to a forum (similar to this) where you can ask advice from others, and check what the experts think- so maybe check that out.Either way- waive Olandis Gary as hes out for the year with a broken leg- matthews at QB is a backup to Cade Mcnown- and I highly doubt Garcia will do you much good as SanFran sucks and will not be getting many TDs this year (my opinion anyway).

But WCE2000- if sandie still doesnt want harrison- how about Charlie Batch for Harrison and Donnie Edwards ????
