 The Super-League is about creating a fantasy fantasy baseball team. I could spend thousands of words explaining the nuances, the history, and tips, but, in the end, it's about creating a fantasy fantasy baseball team, and anything I say here would make that unnecessarily complicated. So, pick teams, do your best, and, if you want or need more advice or guidance, go to the Super-League Discord. New Team Form Fill out Now This needs to be done to secure a spot in the Super-League Teams Selected: Pick eleven points worth of teams (twelve points for people who have never owned a Super-League team before), spread out over as many teams as you'd like. Hell, you could have eleven one-point teams if you really wanted. Fill Out Soon These items also need to be filled out, but not immediately, just as soon as you have some spare time Team Name: Team Logo (150x150 preferred): Home City: Home Stadium: (Give me the dimensions and playing surface if it's a custom stadium) DH Preference: 30-Man Roster: 25 in the majors, 5 in the minors Lineups: Pitching Rotation: Strategy (Rate on a scale from -5 to +5) Hit and Run: Sacrifice Bunt: Squeeze Play: Trying for extra bases: Stealing Bases: Aggressively Tagging Up: Pitch Outs (to prevent stolen bases): Giving Intentional Walks: Pitching Around Good Hitters: Bringing the Infield In: Guarding the Lines: Making Cutoff Throws: Bringing in Pinch Hitters: Bringing in Pinch Runners: Bringing in Defensive Replacements: Starting Pitchers on Short Rest: Letting pitchers pitch throw trouble: Letting Pitchers rack up high pitch counts: The Big, Big List of Feeder Teams Pick eleven points of feeder teams, twelve if you've never owned a team in the Super-League. 6 points 5 points Players that hit World Series Walk off Home Runs + The pitchers that gave them up! 4 points 1898 Cleveland Spiders 1909 Tigers 1930 Giants 1957 Dodgers 1951 Dodgers 1967 AL all stars 1977 Phillies 1986 Mets 1993 Blue Jays 2002 Braves 2003 Marlins 2006 Cardinals 2012 Angels 2015 Nationals 3 Points 1880 White Stockings 1881 Grays 1933 Senators 1946 Yankees 1953 Braves 1979 Brewers 1981 Royals 1991 Twins 1993 White Sox 1997 Astros 2002 Mets 2011 Dodgers 2015 Royals 2 points 1892 Beaneters 1919 Pirates 1924 Cardinals 1926 Robins 1930 Pirates 1942 Giants 1954 Phillies 1957 Pirates 1963 Orioles 1963 Reds 1964 Tigers 1979 Cardinals 1991 Brewers 2006 Diamondbacks 2008 Giants 2012 Brewers 2014 Rangers 2016 Diamondbacks 2017 Oakland Athletics 1 point Little League/Big League World Series Players (Year they played in the World Series) 1883 Red Stockings 1890 Pittsburgh Alleghenys 1910 Boston Doves 1917 Browns 1921 Athletics 1925 Braves 1929 Reds 1934 Red Sox 1938 Dodgers 1950 Senators 1952 Tigers 1953 Browns 1967 Athletics 1970 Indians 1972 Angels 1976 Tigers 1976 Twins 1982 Blue jays 1984 Reds 1985 Giants 1998 Rays 2002 Rockies 2007 Orioles New Teams 1.

Hi! I'm TheMcD, and I'll be the one running the Expansion Cup for the new teams this time around. I'd just like to remind you again that if you have any questions, either ask directly here in the thread or head to the Super-League Discord channel. We're all looking for some new blood to join the league and would be glad to help anybody out! If you're scared of screwing up, don't be - everybody's first team has issues, but it's a learning experience that leads to doing better the next time, and everybody goes through it.

If you'd like some more information and a look at how teams are kind of built, take a look at last seasons EC sign up thread. Also, the actual thread where things get played can be found here. And if you have any questions, just feel free to ask.

Fancy seeing somebody actually coming over from my thread - I honestly didn't expect that would happen. Looking at what you've picked, you've basically built a team quite similar to one we've seen a few seasons ago from a veteran owner, so there's that. It has some glaring holes, but it also has two copies of the greatest player of all time that stands head and shoulders above the rest, so you've got room to maneuver with and could fix a lot of the problems with the ever wonderful world of trading players. We'll have a look at things once the time comes to actually build the team.

Oh hey, I can put the Sox and Yankees together, that'll probably annoy someone. 2 points left, might as well grab the Angels since I live in SoCal." As for the duplicate greatest player, pretend I did that on purpose as defensive drafting.

Epsilon Moonshade posted:I have no idea how fantasy baseball works, so I think I'm just going to watch this thread. This isn't even "fantasy baseball", it's "fantasy video game baseball simulation organized by a madman". By madman I don't mean an insane person, I mean an angry person. But he's great. Anyway pre-existing knowledge of anything beyond picking out 12 points of feeders isn't necessary. If you've ever played Galaxy Trucker board game you'll know that some of the best fun you can have is making a design so madcap loony and unstable is blows in half after the first foray out into the unknown. You can pick out feeders at random, put together the most hardscrabble and insane team seen yet, and still have fun wondering "maybe, just maybe this team can make something of themselves" like a virtual Indians team from Major League. Odds are no, they'll do horrible and get blown up in a fiery earth-shattering kaboom, but that's the adventure! And the icing on top is that some other person who knows everything about baseball, fantasy baseball, maybe even had multiple previous teams in the league, will do even worse, because that's baseball!

Don't put Dean in the minors. We're all well aware of Dean's premature career demise, but Mogul isn't. It's why the Dean on the Browns that threw like 2 innings works. It's why Smoky Joe Williams can still pitch brilliantly even after he couldn't throw the drat ball in real life. It's why post-2012 Albert Pujolses can still sometimes hit like Albert Pujols, rather than the sad husk he's turned into. I mean, do what you want in the EC. Probably good to see what your other arms can do. But Dizzy Dean is absolutely one of your 5 best starting pitchers, and that could be said for probably 95% of the entire league. He rules.

I'm pretty sure you mean Joe Wood, not Joe Williams, since the latter is a Negro League player that would be custom made and can pitch as well as whomever making him wants him to. Or sometimes just pitches terribly regardless. I'm not salty, why are you asking? frankenfreak posted:Someone from across the pond who has little clue about baseball?

Lansford plays 3rd base, hits a few home runs and doesn't strike out 150 times a season. By Mogul standards, that makes him perfectly playable. Just by '88 he was winding down, and Mogul knows it.

Just by '88 he was winding down, and Mogul knows it. Yeah, lemme rephrase that. Lansford is playable, especially at a slightly scarce position like 3rd base, but whether he'll hit and defend well given (1) he was good but not all-time great and (2) he's getting a bit long in the tooth is an open question.
