Subsim fantasy football 2010 league interest

[CaptainHaplo]

OK cool - I will take the time to read some detailed info and may have questions - like surely you have to be able to "draft" more than one qb - what happens if he gets hurt the first game and he is the only one you have - your screwed for the year?

And I am not total cannon fodder - I remember that NFL commercial - always draft your kicker first!

I'm in and for auto-draft.

You have backups for your team. I can't remember exactly, but you can have a maximum of 12 or 13 for your team. - your 1 QB, 3 WRs. TE, 2 RB, K, DEF and the rest are your bench. It's up to you how you choose to use those bench slots. You pick a starting lineup each week - only the players in your starting lineup will earn you points. So if you have a RB on the bench because you think he's up against a tough opponent and won't do very much, but he has a 5 touchdown day, he doesn't help you at all because he wasn't in your starting lineup. In fact, managing injuries, real life matchups and bye weeks is one of the most strategical parts of fantasy football.

You can trade players with other owners in your league, and there's a pool of free agents that aren't owned by any team. You can juggle your team throughout the season as you see fit.

And commish: What about a "draft by email" system?

You can draft however you want, but after your first 2 games, I'll bet $100 you'll be banging your head on the wall saying "WTH was I thinking".

Here's the deal with our draft:

Live draft:
pros: tradition, subsim comradery, user friendly (newbie), easy to fix mistakes.

cons: takes >2 hours to complete, must find time when majority of people are avalible, technical issues with yahoo chat, major pain in the a$$ for the person running the draft. complicated keeping tract of which players have been drafted.

Auto draft:

Pros: Very efficient, don't have to spend the whole afternoon doing the draft

Cons: not newbie friendly, you have 3 mins to make your pick or yahoo picks for you. No interaction with others.

Anything I missed? Also, if you can't make the draft or are a no-show, that is a major hassle and source of frustration for everybody.

If you can survive the draft, then the rest of the season is cake.
