DMD Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 What about the new game? The concept for it was created by probably the smartest guy I ever knew (hint - he sleeps with my wife... star of the yet unmade film "A Beautiful Football Mind"... you know... no, not him - ME!). The concept is that you pick from 22 players and the 11 you pick go against the 11 you did not pick. The style is certainly the most fair you could ever want since everyone has to make the exact same choices using the same players and yet it will end up with win/loss records and total points just like any league. It is so easy that it is really hard. It is so hard that it is really easy. And best yet - you will not win or lose by the random match-up against another team you have zero effect on, you win or lose purely on your choices and what you do not pick is what can kill you. Just like real life. Just like Christmas shopping for the wife. Anyway - hope you play and good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MustOfBeenDrunk Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I'm in ,, great idea ,,, also just an FYI ,,, I have received invites for the same game from (2) other sites so this is not just a Huddle game but you are matched against those from other sites as well.

ABearWithFurniture Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Once you sign-up and it takes you back to the splash screen, there's this little tab above it that says 'My Lineup'...put your mouse on top of it and click the right button.

Brentastic Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Signed up and picked my team. Question - can you not change your lineup? I don't see a way to make a change to my lineup should I change my mind on some players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phazool Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I'm in. You will all lose to me now. Thanks for playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see a way to make a change to my lineup should I change my mind on some players. Click on the player you currently have set to start in your lineup, should reset the position and send whatever player you clicked on to the bench.

Flip_Side Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Great idea DMD, I love it! My lineup is ready, the receivers were pretty hard to pick from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentastic Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Click on the player you currently have set to start in your lineup, should reset the position and send whatever player you clicked on to the bench. I tried that and it said player is already on a starting lineup. I'll mess with it some more tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see a way to make a change to my lineup should I change my mind on some players. I had that problem as well, but It wasn't a major issue this time. I just didn't see where it changed anything. Ok. it let me change it today. Edited November 5, 2010 by MikesVikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystery Machine Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Is the Pick or Play Fantasy Challenge not working today? Registered for the game and when I log in it brings me back to the same screen. Where do you go to pick your lineup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachBum Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I of course have had none of the problems these obvious newbies have had! BUT, after selecting my lineup, it shows all the pix of the players on my squad, and the oposition, but there seems to be one extra picture at the bottom, with the PK and Def, with the anti- team. Do they somehow get an extra player because I am so tough to beat? Just wondering.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTSuper7 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 (edited) Great idea DMD, I love it! My lineup is ready, the receivers were pretty hard to pick from. +1 - Contests are awesome... at least until my ineptitude has me in 283rd place after 2 weeks. ETA - When in doubt, just pick players for your team that you are playing against in your primary ff league(s). Win-win!
