A different spin on Fantasy Football (DEFENSE) and everyone's envited




      I know there are a ton of people on here that love fantasy football based on the four leagues that Sean has going right now.  I like to play the standard leagues like everyone else, but I also like to switch it up sometimes. 

      The normal FF is all based on offense (and sometimes one teams defenses total stats),  but it neglects my favorite part of the game, of course the Defense!  Fleaflicker is an awesome site that Sean got me hooked on last year when I participated in the overflow league.  The main reason I love the site so much is because of it's simplicity and customizablility (screw you spell check)   I can add individual players as well as adjust all kinds of points both given and taken away for a plethora of categories....and if you go to the points layout, you will see that I took full advantage of what they had to offer.  I won't go into too much depth because it's a ton of content to transfer.

     There are going to be four divisions of four (if your math is rusty that's 16 teams), first round bye for two teams with the championship game taking place on week 16.  I also want to ask only serious players sign up and that is no joke.  I don't want to discourage anyone, I just want you to know what your in for.  Since we are drafting both offensive AND defensive players, the draft ends up taking a while.  You really need to be prepared with you defensive players as they don't seem to rank them properly (ex Ray Lewis was ranked as the 400ish) or at least have enough NFL knowledge to be able to name a bunch of defensive players that are really good off the top of your head (aka addicts like me, and probably you if you're reading this). 

 

The real fun of the is when to stop drafting offense and start to fill up your defense.  The Defense will win you a lot of games if you pay attention and will cost you if you don't.  There will be a live draft Thursday 9/3 at 9:00 PMFeel free to ask any  questions in case I forgot something.  This is a really fun way to play the game guys and I hope you give it a chance.  I'm going to leave it up here exclusively for a little while but if it doesn't fill up I'm going to post this over at Detnews forum.  I hope to see you there!

It’s an autodraft, you’ll have to pre-rank your players. The draft will be the Tuesday before the season starts. If it doesn’t get filled, I’ll be deleting it.
