Official Fantasy Sports Thread

[nwfisch]

Hopefully a mod can make this a sticky, and maybe we can have different threads for different sports if this grows.

ESPN Fantasy Football mock drafts have began.

I wish I care more about the NFL. I will say though I paid more attention this year when I got in a money league.

I will probably join a couple money leagues for the fall.....you know if there is a season.

Baseball is definitely my fantasy sport though. 4 money leagues this season.

just pm me when you want something done, or if im not on look for what mod is online

Nice an overall points league?

I am in a league I have 163 more points than anyone and sit 7-5.

One guy is 9-3 and I have 358 more points than him. Its annoying. Still in the playoffs but 4 of the 5 teams in my division are 7-5. The other is 6-6. So I don't have much breathing room. Worst part about this team is I have Konerko, Teixiera, Butler, Braun, Holliday, McCutchen, and Jason Heyward and really no where to play them all. Pretty weak at catcher (Soto/Russell) and 3B (Polanco) but pretty strong elsewhere. Hell my pitching is Cahill, Sabathia, Sheilds, Weaver and CJ Wilson. Only Cahill ranks outside the top 23 of all players so far. And my relievers are Feliz and Wilson.

My overall record (playing everyone every week) would be 77-31, well above everyone else. Hell I am 0-2 vs one guy and if we played each week I would be 8-4. Another guy 0-1 that I am 9-3 versus. Quite frustrating. I will be pissed if this one doesn't pay me.

Man I love this team.

Another league I am 8-4 but 226 points back of first. Tied for first in the division and 2 games up on third. That team isn't as good. Losing Mauer and Zimmerman for a majority of the season hurt, but I do have Fielder, Halladay, and Reyes that have really carried the team.

My Roto team sits in second at 72 points (4 back of first) First roto league I have ever done and its going alright. It's starting to make a come back up to 7th in homers from dead last is nice. 1st in BA, 7th in HRs, 3rd in RBI's, 2nd in Runs, 2nd in SB. My pitching could use work though 5th in K's, 2nd in ERA, 6th in WHIP, 6th in W's, and 4th in saves. Still could pull this one out and take the lead somehow.

Then there is my bar league which is sadly my worst, and most expensive team. I got lucky and stuck in the worst division by far and might get lucky and win the division. Sitting 6-6 currently and tied for first playing the other guy this week and crushing him (thanks to Cliff Lee). It's just a horrible team when your keepers are Dunn, Ellsbury, Ichiro, Lee and Justin Upton.

Hopefully I can come out ahead this year in fantasy. Those are just my money teams though. Non money I don't really care about.

Yeah my league is total points. A free league because I'm a poor college student

My league is flawed with closers because they only get 5 pts per save. So a guy like Marmol sometimes ends up losing points though he earns the save.

The team I'm beating by 168 is the best team in the league and my division by 1 game.

Pujols went down and I picked up Pena. Unfortunately I'm holding on to Dunn and Rios. Oswalt went down with injury, but I have Lee too. I play waiver wire with my SP and hope for the 10 point win bonus.

Dunn has to be the worst fantasy player ever this year. -10 last week. Ugh.
