* Up top for potential replacement wannabes - we have had some flakeouts over the years, so if you'd like to jump in for a backup spot (Noquar got in that way last year), post and say so.
Ok, getting right to it. I've changed a few things this year.
Patch notes:
-- Passing TDs have been corrected to count 4 points instead of 6. Tom Brady should now be working as intended.
-- The third WR position has been replaced with a WR/RB flex position.
-- Return yardage has been added. The rate is 20 yards = 1 point, same as rushing and receiving.
I used last year's stats and put in this year's settings. Here's what the top 25 would have looked like, instead of the QB-fest that it was:
As you can see, Brady is still number one, there are still 4 QBs in the top ten, and 8 QBs in the top 25. You also see some interesting people breaking into high positions due to return yards. I think the combination of the return yard/flex position changes will add some flexibility and strategy. The third WR position was to the point where part-timers and even benched guys would sometimes have to be started. This is especially true in a 12-man league; there simply aren't 36 WRs worth starting without return yards. Even then it will be slim pickings.
Everyone who was in last year gets first shot to be back in. Here's the list:
Me
Kal
Pig
Syn
Ivan
KK
Toolio
Rellik
Onyx
Benign
Drach
Noquar
Let me know ASAP if you're back in. My paypal is the same as last year if you want to go ahead and send me the $55 (also same as last year). Payouts will be the same: 300, 150, 100, 50.
I should be in your list of potential send-ees on paypal. If you need my email let me know in PM. If there's some delay on being able to pay, let me know in PM. Invites go out when I receive the cashola. I'll send the invite to your paypal address unless you say otherwise.
Let's try to get everyone in fast. Waiting until the last minute for delayed payments/flakeouts, having to find replacements, etc., is not fun. And it's all about what's fun for me - like finding new ways to suffer every year in fantasy football.
Feel free to sound off on the rule changes. I can adjust all settings up until we draft. Speaking of the draft, it is LIVE as always, and scheduled for SATURDAY, AUGUST 30 at 11 PM EASTERN.
(**Edit** Draft time changed to Saturday night because Kal's husband probably has plans for her.
That is all.
