Chief Dick Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) Here's a thought. My apologies to anyone who has thought of this or are already doing it. How about a FF team that just drafts TEAM POSITIONS only? You make it a 12 team league. Your starting lineup is this: TEAM QB TEAM RB TEAM WR TEAM TE TEAM D TEAM Kicker Basically you are drafting a whole teams WR group, TE group, etc, and you get points every week from everyone that accumulates points. The waiver wire is available as a one time change, but you would have to substitute the whole position group. Meaning, you can change your team QB once, and so on. Or better yet, make it a 16 team league and everyone drafts 2 teams worth at each position. No waivers, so REALLY low maintenance. Scoring would be standard performance scoring. You would have head to head play with one division. Top three teams at the end win money. Anyone up for something like this? Takes injuries almost out of the equation, and no starting lineups to enter every week. Very low maintenance. Who's interested? 1.

Chief Dick Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 for this year or next? I'm thinking next year. Give us plenty of time to iron out rules, number of teams, entry fee, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muck Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 LoL ... I tried pretty much this exact thing this offseason ($200 / team entry, iirc), but had no takers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbimm Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I would be very interested in this. Not only would I have a hassle free league but I would also get to compete with Sky. I think this will take off big time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I'd try that. 16 teamer would be very challenging... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Beatings Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Just when I think I am going to be scaling back... I'm interested... but I'm not going to commit 100% until after this season is over with... so if you get more than enough guys to fill the league, you can bump me.

Outshined Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 How does the scoring work? I don't think any of the league providers has a team RB, WR and TE option that will tally the points? Maybe they do or we just put every player in the starting lineup?? If they don't, somebody is going to be busy every week adding a lot of points. I am interested..cost?

Would probably use MFL and send 'em an email to see if they could accomodate. I'm sure they can. I'm thinking cost in the $75 range, give or take $25 either way.

BillyBalata Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Would probably use MFL and send 'em an email to see if they could accomodate. I'm sure they can. I'm thinking cost in the $75 range, give or take $25 either way. Currently MFL will allow TEAMQB, TE, K and Def...but not RB or WR, at least not now.
