Oh hi I'm one more person to join, and this is right up my alley, I've been known to toss the ol' wineskin around occasionally.

My team will be the finest team money can't buy because they're amateurs, the Wairarapa Bush RFU:

Could I join? I might drop out mid-way through or even sooner because I get busy or get high or just stare at a flower but I figure that is pretty BYOB as well

I can't believe I have to do this, and I hate I have to do this, but espn's league max is 20 teams which we have somehow hit. God only knows if this actually will become an annual thing but I will def put you on the waitlist should this go down again next year. Sorry friend!

I'm so psyched football. I cant figure out how this loving ESPN app works though. when does this kick off? (get it?)

Lock

hardcore sound gets you hypah

you need not learn the ways of the app; the app will show you its ways (but really if you need help setting your lineup just yell)

once the last persosn registers I’ll set the draft for middle-of-the-night Tues or Wed so that you wake up to some gridiron goodness

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

I followed this method and ended up pretty well rounded with double qb, double rb, double te, and one wr. Sounded like a good strategy. I just really am shooting for a lot of fumbles and recoveries(just to keep the ball to fumble the next play). I tried making a system with my T9 keyboard on an old Kyocera Slider(Such a cool $300 phone in 2004) but I got lazy and gave up.

Were then and are you now a drug dealer or a dedicated MMORPG guild member or neither or both?

Especially when it's bought prepaid and as a second phone, that's definitely what is known as a "trap phone".

(But also I remember people who were using it to plan out raids having something like this.)

Gettin' down to crunch time. If I don't hear back from the last coach I'll set them up an account and get the draft ready to go.

Etiquette question. since this was kinda an interest-check/setup thread, I was debating creating another thread for the season proper. But I'm fine just keeping things here with its awkward title and just letting it ride. Would it be easier to follow with a proper season thread or are we cool with just chilling here?

I logged in! And... don't know what to do. Auto-draft seems best? Partly because during my work days I don't often have time to do non-work stuff and my evenings are spent being tired. Still, I think my team can do well standing about and leaning against things and whistling as they saunter carelessly past the ref.

I can happily say that I did indeed sell the marijuana(already did a number for it). I used it for away business because my cordless house phone worked up to 2 blocks so I used that around the house. I should also state that I currently have no affiliation with criminal activity.

you need not do a thing, that is the beauty(?) of this league. If you’re feeling adventurous you might be able to discover a way to influence how the algorithm chooses your players for you, but it’s neither necessary nor recommended.

nope, not at all! Anybody that I created an acct for is good to go and anything you do beyond this point is icing on your personal cake

you literally do not, though I’ll go a bit into more detail about what you can optionally do once the draft is done

I'm pretty sure it's a PvE server with PvP arenas. If I understand how football works, it's players versus healthy brain mobs.
