Are you guys still going into the league ??? Cuz, its all set up, ready to rock- Daniel and me have created our teams (how you going with your rankings Daniel??)- just waiting to fill the other 6 slots, so we can get our squads completed.
I posted all the info on the old thread- maybe u missed it ??? so ill c&p it here:
have created an 8 team league which we should hopefully fill out.
The League name is: bigfooty
The league password is: arch
The link below should give u some error message, telling you that you need to register with sandbox.com (free of course).
Once youve registered with a user name and p/word, and eneterd the league info above, and created you team name,you'll be confronted with a confusing (at first) looking draft card.
Basically, the draft happens off-line- once all 8 teams have been created. You need to give your team a name (my mine is arch's tailgators. Perhaps using your bigfooty name in there somewhere would be good- so we know who is who).
Then your next task is rank all the availabe players at each position (QB, runningback, wide receiver, tight end, kicker, and defensive players too) as to who you think is best(only need to rank the top 10-15 not the entire 50 odd). The the players are then auto-drafted using the order you picked, so if say the first 3 players you ranked at a certain positon are taken, youll get your 4th ranked guy.
Theres a good help section and FAQ's on the site, which will explain the whole scoring system, drafting, etc etc but ill answer any Q's you might have too.
Basically you want guys on your team who will
a) get alot of touchdowns (ie catch them or throw them, or run them in)
b) get alot of yards- either reception yards or rushed yards
c) in defense- get alot of tackles, and interceptions.
All these will get you points each week, which will hopefully add up to more than your opponents, and give you the win. It even gives you a ladder during the season, saying your wins-losses- total points etc.
If you know nothing about which NFL players are good, just go to any amercian search engine and type in "fantasy football", which will give you thousands of sites, which assess the "fantasy" value of certain players for the upcoming season, and if youd want to draft them or not.(ie will they be sitting on the bench all year???, are they likely to have injury problems??? etc etc)
