Fantasy baseball league
I know it's not been very popular in the past but we're at 28 teams now and we've had some turnover.
So, anyone interested in playing a 2017 fantasy league?
I like Yahoo and my usual league is head to head standard 5x5 categories but I'm open to different things.
Please post here if you're interested, would be great to get 10-12 of us.
EDIT: here's a link to join if you want.
5 spots left for a 12 team league!

Re: Fantasy baseball league?
Are we going to use saves as a category??
If you get enough players I would be interested. Got burnt out on it about 4 years ago and haven't played since. Might be interesting to make a return to the game.

Absolutely! Saves, wins, RBI, runs... All the useless stats that make fantasy so fun!Bumstead wrote:Are we going to use saves as a category??

Re: Fantasy baseball league?
I play in a fantasy league already. Head to head with value assigned to different stats and we don't use stats like wins saves or RBIs.
I might be enticed if you were short someone but I'm not a huge fang of fantasy using stats that rely too much on players you didn't pick lol.

Re: Fantasy baseball league?
Well, we got 4 teams. Come on guys, its not a big deal. You can take it as seriously as I take this league. Even if Saves are a category!

Re: Fantasy baseball league?
I'll still fill in if you're short a man.
Question though. In your head to head, are you assigning points to categories and it's overall points wins, or is it whoever wins the most categories?
It's been a long time since I played 5x5. Our system assigns points to each stat we've chosen, and whoever gets the most points during the week gets the win. So you can suck in one category and it doesn't matter as long as you completely own another category that makes up for the points. It's highly recommended not to take James Shields though - being a bad pitcher is punished harshly in our league (mega negative points for surrendering home runs especially).

Re: Fantasy baseball league?
In this setup it's one point per category win, so max of 10 points per week.

Re: Fantasy baseball league?
Ok, so you need to try and win categories.

Re: Fantasy baseball league?
I'll have a go, been a few years since I bothered to have a fantasy team. Can't we have it with MBBA players though ?

This would be awesome. Fantasy league based on fake simulated baseball? Tremedous
