To whoever pointed me towards guerrillamail, thank you. I will be making espn accts for all who asked me to get them up and running, and I'll email you your login info. So yes, everyone will have the option of being able to adjust their lineups throughout the year, for whatever good that will do in this system.

UPDATES!!1

- Everyone who specifically asked me to make an acct for them should have their login info now.

- I may have been wrong earlier when I said those people would not be able to adjust their lineups. These logins should let you do that throughout the season.

- These team icons are awesome and I am blown away people are putting effort into my zero-effort league. If you toy around with your team options you can set those icons as your team icons on ESPN.

- Waiting to hear back from one person as to if they were actually asking for in or if they were :justpost:ing. I'd like to cut this off at an even number just so there are no teams without a matchup every week. But we still have openings!

- Once everyone's in I'll schedule the automatic draft. Probably Tues or Weds night US timezones. Think of it like Christmas, and waking up to a bunch of random sweaty muscled men waiting under your tree! AGAIN: THE DRAFT IS AUTOMATIC. YOU NEED NOT, INDEED, CANNOT CHOOSE YOUR PLAYERS.

-------------------------------------------------------
So what are all these positions on my team? And how are they different in this league?

So, a quick rundown of fantasy-relevant positions:
QB: quarterback, the dude who throws the ball, gives the ball to someone else to run with it, or (more and more often of late) just runs with it himself
RB: running back, the dude who takes the ball from the QB and runs with it
WR: wide receiver, the dude(s) who catch the ball when the QB throws it
TE: tight end, I dunno, they're kinda like a receiver but they also do some blocking and stuff i guess
K: kicker, the appendix of the evolution of american football from soccer and rugby. scores when the other guys can't, and performs other ceremonail duties
D/ST: defense and special teams, ok this one needs a little explanation. In fake football offense is fun and defense is boring, for most people. (these people are scrubs but w/e) so instead of choosing individual players, you just take one real team's entire group for your team.
defense is the guys trying to do the opposite of the offense
special teams are the guys who participate in the ceremonial duties initiated by the kicker

Note that I say 'fantasy-relevant' because fake football largely ignores the offensive linesmen, the dudes tasked with keeping the QB alive.

A NORMAL FF TEAM usually has a starting lineup like this:
1 QB
2 RB
2 WR
1 TE
1 flex (:siren:TERMINOLOGY ALERT - flex is where you can play an RB, WR, or TE, your choice:siren:)
1 K
1 D/ST

YOUR TEAM HERE will not be bound by the man; your team is as unique and free as you
1 QB (ok look you still need someone to get things started)
6 :siren::siren::siren:SUPERFLEX!!!!!!!!!:siren::siren::siren: (SUPERFLEX, all caps always, is the same as the flex above, only you can also put another quarterback into your starters)
1 K
1 D/ST

So if you want your fake team to have 6 tight ends, I mean...livin the dream there friend.

okay i have my draft strategy for the SUPERFLEX slots:

first, take the abbreviations for the positions (QB, RB, WR, TE)

next, give them numbers based on how many points that two-letter combo would be worth in scrabble:

QB = 13
RB = 3
WR = 7
TE = 2

this totals up to 25 which is a very nice coincidence, because then i can just multiply them by 4 to turn them into percentage chances without having to do extra math:

QB = 52 (= 1-52)
RB = 12 (= 53-64)
WR = 28 (= 65-92)
TE = 8 (= 93-100)

then random.org's true random number on the front page to generate six numbers (re-rolling if i get any repeats):

19, 53, 99, 31, 84, 62

QB, RB, TE, QB, WR, RB

final team composition:
QB (the mandatory one)
QB
QB
RB
RB
WR
TE
K
DS/T

and i think i found the place to do this on the website? (my team -> edit draft strategy -> autopick strategy)


i'm leaving all the dropdowns underneath as "best available" because i've already hit my effort limit for the day lol

realtalk I wasn't going to tell anyone about that -- but I also specifically chose not to forbid it to see if anyone would actually figure out they could, in fact, have some mystical influence on their draft (so don't worry, what you did was both predicted and allowed!)

alright it is way past bedtime here but one more update

we're currently at an odd # of teams. If we can get one more team that would be perfect. Any beyond that will be on a one-team waitlist where if another person after them wants to join, they'll both be in

pretend that makes sense.
