WCG Fantasy Football Season 4

by allhailmark on Jun 8, 2009 6:37 PM CDT Comment 46 comments

I've been in the WCG Fantasy League for 4 seasons now and I'm looking forward to the fifth. I will be happy to commish if that will help get the next season going. I'm setting up my league at work and thought I might put a note up here. Reply if you're interested and I'll setup the league (and a second if interest warrants it). I think it fair to offer last season's teams right of first refusal to be in the league before adding new members.

I'm game for another year

here’s to hoping that I don’t have another huge collapse after starting off undefeated for like 8 weeks.

One question...

What site do you use? If it’s anything other than ESPN I’m in, I can’t stand their set up.

by Sklz711 on Jun 8, 2009 10:59 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

I can only use ESPN

because Im pretty used to it and I dont use any other sites(NFL.com fantasy sucks)

by Zoro on Jun 9, 2009 10:53 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

i cant stand espn either

espn is ugly. youd think a household name would have a better website layout

i prefer yahoo, even though yahoo doesnt have live fantasy scoring
personally, i prefer having to wait for the score— it creates suspense, and i wont stare at my screen for 5 hours watching my fantasy points slowly rack up
and if you really wanna know how many points you have, you can always check the box score for each game and figure your score out yourself

I'm down

Rumor has it Alex Brown keeps Chris Simms' right index finger in his back pocket for good luck.

I'll play

what kind of league is it? it’d be nice to start a keepers league on WCG

If you want to crown em...

I would be in

if there is an opening

by Chisportfan on Jun 9, 2009 1:13 AM CDT reply actions 0 recs

im game

by ChicagoFan on Jun 9, 2009 1:53 AM CDT reply actions 0 recs

Definitely like to get in

I have to ask, what do you do with the guys that abandon their teams half way into the season? That crap drives me nuts.

I'd be willing to set up a WCG pick 'em league

if there’s interest in it. I can set it up with a group name/password so it will only be people from here. I like doing a straight-up pick ‘em w/ confidence points, but I’m open to suggestion.

i'll jump on that... good thing i checked this post out...

i saw “fantasy” in the title and tried to ignore it but more people kept commenting and i felt left out.

I'll definitely do it

but it sounds like you’ve already got 2 leagues worth. If you start another league, I’m game.

You can also set it up so that however many leagues end up started, each league’s regular season winners meet the other winners in the playoffs. That way, however many leagues you’ve got, there’s one WCG winner.

Any Money Involved In Any Of These?

Since we're all scattered around the country, some of us around the world,

I’m guessing not.

I'm guessing...

With the first pick in the 2009 WCG fantasy draft, xxx picks… Matt Forte.
With the second pick in the 2009 WCG fantasy draft, xxx picks… Jay Cutler.
With the third pick in the 2009 WCG fantasy draft, xxx picks… Devin Hester.
…
…
…
With the 126th pick in the 2009 WCG fantasy draft, xxx picks this years Mr. Irrelevant… Adrian Peterson.

If that really happened, that would be the worst fantasy football draft ever

by Zoro on Jun 10, 2009 9:01 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Ha, no doubt.

Though I wonder if someone will actually pick Forte ahead of A.P.? I don’t know if I could stomach pulling for him on a weekly basis.

If someone is a 1st timer and a bears fan, they just might pick forte over Peterson

For those that haven't tried it.

Do not draft any player that rivals the Bears; packer, viking etc. It really makes for a more pleasurable fantasy experience. Plus Karma rewards you with Championships, REALLY. 2001 was the last FF season I had a rival player on my fantasy roster. Since then I have one five titles. Before then, not one.

by rdent4hof on Jun 10, 2009 9:32 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Its probably just good luck for you

But ill join a lame draft during the season and try it

Then It might be a coincidence

but I always do a FF the right way, by stats and predictions and all that.

3 days and know one mentions this quote!!

COME ON!!! With as many nerds that post at this site (especially a fantasy post), no one shows the love?

Alright, I'll mention your Obi Won quote...

…and I’ll even throw a link your way.

Also, it’s… “In my experience, there’s no such thing as luck.”

I miss quoted. Thanks for the correction!

I'm honestly considering Forte 2nd in all my leagues

Michael Turner’s legs may be fresh but he’s still getting old-ish, and the Falcons like to pass.
Adrian Peterson is considered the number 1 pick, and its hard to argue, but I still hate drafting him because he’s an injury risk, he loves fumbling, and the Vikings have no passing attack. So he either gets you 500 yards or 50 and 5 fumbles.
With Forte, you’ve got a team with a legitimate QB who other teams HAVE to respect, which opens lanes for the run. He’s an option to catch and rush, he’s young, doesn’t fumble anything, and he’s a Bear. That makes him the #1 RB on my board this year. I’ll skip AP and grab Brees or Brady, who will earn more points than any running back, anyway.
