VOTE: Snake or Auction FFB Draft

Give your reason for one or the other.

Alright BGAR...you have convinced me....auction...lets roll with the big boys...

Glad to hear it!

I feel like snake takes more skill whether your picking from the one or ten spot. There is going to be some retard who lays down most their money on on player in an auction draft and end up with a shit team cuz the had no money to spend on everything else. That will just take the fun outta playing that team. I mean last year in our snake league I picked 8 or 9 and won it. Just saying snake to me takes a little more skill.

What you just posted made the argument for auction and why it requires more skill.

You have essentially stated that snake is better because it protects retards from themselves.

some of us are retards.

Im in with auction. Lets bump up the pot though, this will eliminate those that wont get prepared.

$100 each.

2nd gets money back winner gets all.

After doing some reading/ listening to you guys on here I have come to the conclusion that auction requires more skill and talent. I say this is the way to go and 100 sounds good.

Few Questions:

Will there be a fee per transaction? I personally think there should be.

How many players can be kept each season?

Do we want to stay with yahoo! or move over to ESPN? I personally like ESPN better.

There will be a lot of things that need to be answered. I suppose this as a good of a start as any-

Transaction fee? Never considered it, what is the point? As far as I'm concerned, the price you pay for the player is your transaction fee.

I personally prefer Yahoo to ESPN. I find the format more appealing, there have been no real issues with it, and it has been keeping track of our past years.

Who are our ten guys? We need to have people get back onto the page, check in, and discuss all of this.

As to the how many players do we keep- I think the better question is to what expense. If you pay $72 to buy Vick this year, does it cost you $72 next year?

I honestly have no clue what is normal protocol with keeper leagues.

ESPN for sure. The iPhone app is WAY better!

Okay so league members

1) Justin
2) Ian
3) Kyle
4) Brian
5) Bryce
6) Geddes
7) Trey
Cheese
9) Vince

So for the last guy..
10) Trent Staggers/Austin Jennings/Vic/Heather(this would be just like "the league")

Heather has no interest, i assure you.

well i want to play with you guys so auction it is.

But I like Kyle and Ian prefer ESPN.

Transaction Fees would add to the pot throughout the season due to trades and free agent pickups. We don't have to do this but I was just throwing it out there. I personally think ESPN is more appealing as well as the app is far superior than yahoos. As for the 10th guy, if none of the guys you listed are willing to play my buddy Cody will play.

As for keepers, we need to figure out how many players/positions you can keep each year. Also, should there be a limit to how many seasons you can keep a player before having to release him or trade him?

Ok I follow now Ian. We did this last year in the Sandbox auction league- you get $200 to draft your team. After the draft you get a separate $50 for free agents. It wold as a
Silent auction, so if you think everyone wants the same guy, you've
Gotta out bid the league.

A very fun element.

I say we use Jennings as our 10th. Trent's not into it, never has been. Brian said Heather had no interest. Jennings love Fantasy.

If Austin is really into fantasy, he has my vote. Nothing against Cody, but it is more fun playing in a league where everyone knows eachother. I believe everyone knows Austin and I don't see him being quiet through the season.

This exactly. Lets get Jennings on board.

I believe my fat thumbs just closed the poll while trying to

For those who haven't voted, I'll look to reopen it later when I'm back at home.

Thoughts on fantasy with the current lockout situation?

Great gif schultze.

College? Pick players from current BCS conferences?

Haha then were just SOL if we dont have a season.

I guess just wait it out to Week 7 when we can start playing. Whoever wins this year will feel like the 1999 Spurs.
