2021/2022 Bensall Premier League Fantasy Football

wlu_lax6 · Post by **wlu_lax6** » Sun Jul 18, 2021 8:19 pm

So I renewed the Fantasy Football League on Yahoo. This year to make sure we have people who actually want to play, you must post here, pm, email me your intention to play by this Friday midnight. After that I will take folks who are interested to replace those who are not.

Please post your team's name so I don't have to think too hard to let me know you are in.

For those who are interested, post here your interest in joining and I will use that for the order of letting new folks in (note: I may expand the league size if we have folks who are interested above the normal league and/or restart the Unknown Championship League for promotion/relegation).

L'equipe Canadienne est de retour!

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Mon Jul 19, 2021 8:06 am

This is my yearly letter to the league to request 2 permanent leagues with fewer teams in each if possible.

BRING BACK RELEGATION

Rass Monkey - in

(not sure how often the defending champ lurks here, but maybe winning last season earns an email from the commish before being booted just in case - there are a couple of other players in the same position but it's not as clear that they were active last season)

wlu_lax6 · Post by **wlu_lax6** » Mon Jul 19, 2021 8:17 am

I will not throw people out without emailing them (i.e. how I know louthegiantrat was dropping out). Just trying to get ducks in a row.

tennbengal · Post by **tennbengal** » Mon Jul 19, 2021 10:03 am

I would play if you all need a spot added or replacing a team.

Have never jumped in before.

We had fourteen last year. Wlu - we could take the 8 highest placers from last season i one league, and the rest plus whoever else wants to play could be in the other league.

Thoughts?

wlu_lax6 · Post by **wlu_lax6** » Mon Jul 19, 2021 12:40 pm

Back in yee old days of the swamp we had 3 full leagues of 14 teams (After one year where we had 20 or so in one league). Promotion-Relegation was tough but worked. 14 worked well because 13 regular season games and 3 playoff games (and no week 17). With a week 18 it changes the math a bit.

Let's see how we are standing at the end of the week. My preference is maximize participation in whatever way we can. So if we need to split to two equal leagues, unbalanced, or one big league where trades and waiver wire become more important. We will figure it out.

HaulCitgo · Post by **HaulCitgo** » Mon Jul 19, 2021 2:41 pm

I'd play if there's a minor leagues

Rush2112 · Post by **Rush2112** » Mon Jul 19, 2021 3:32 pm

In.

and I can probably pull in some sometime swampers for lower league spots if need be.

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Fri Aug 27, 2021 7:10 pm

Hey, wlu. Any chance we could hold our draft on a date other than Labor Day?

wlu_lax6 · Post by **wlu_lax6** » Sat Aug 28, 2021 12:54 am

Sure..put a recommendation out

How about the same time on Sunday the 5th or Tuesday the 7th.

ETA: I guess maybe the 7th is bad because it’s Rosh Hashanah, but really any day before that works for me.

Shit am I not in? I got invitees for the pick 'em and survivor. FERDA (said sadly)

tennbengal · Post by **tennbengal** » Mon Sep 06, 2021 10:36 am

Running 14-team mocks on yahoo. Gonna come into the league on fire and prepared. All focus. Biting all the fucking kneecaps I can find.

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Mon Sep 06, 2021 10:51 am

Awwright, TB. Bringing the piss and vinegar! We need that in this league!

tennbengal · Post by **tennbengal** » Mon Sep 06, 2021 11:24 am

Oooooooo, an "A-" for the 14-team mock I just did. And from middle position too. You all are so fucked.

Maybe you should have done a mock 16-team draft.....

yahoo doesn't offer those. I will extrapolate and raise my grade to an "A+"

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Tue Sep 07, 2021 6:09 pm

The only strategy I've come up with is to only draft quarterbacks

wlu_lax6 · Post by **wlu_lax6** » Tue Sep 07, 2021 6:25 pm

To go along with our draft...feel free to talk trash via Google Meet

I hate my team already. 16 teams is…something

tennbengal · Post by **tennbengal** » Tue Sep 07, 2021 7:47 pm

I mean, I’ve got Brady. That should finish him.

tennbengal · Post by **tennbengal** » Tue Sep 07, 2021 8:10 pm

I take it back. My team rules.

tennbengal · Post by **tennbengal** » Tue Sep 07, 2021 9:18 pm

Nope, yahoo says my team sucks. "C". Better luck next year and all that.

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Tue Sep 07, 2021 11:11 pm

Yahoo’s grades are meaningless.

This is the worst looking team I've had in 20 years of fantasy football.

I think...

Like an idiot, I waited until the usual round when I'd take a QB forgetting that there were 16 teams. Hence: Tannehill and Jameis

Those are fine QBs. Most fantasy sharps have Tannehill top 12.
