Fantasy leagues from around the world 2014

[ua]

Well I have a lot more fantasy leagues Then I had planned on (again). From time to time I like to come into this thread to lament over some of my decisions that I make in other leagues.

But first a commercial...

This is an open invitation to anyone in the standard or keeper leagues.

I am running my private h2h Once again, Now entering 12th year, And this year I decided to expand to 14 teams from 12 So I am looking for a couple managers to fill those spots.
If interested email me at [e-mail] And I will forward you the link you need to join up.

Here are some of the league details you need to know...
Life draft Sunday, October 20 at 945pm Central.
$50 per manager via PayPal.
Random draft order to be determined by Yahoo as soon as the league fills up, Not 30 minutes before the draft.
There are some very difficult managers, I won't lie, If you like a challenge this is a good league for you.
11 stat categories... The Yahoo nine plus fgm and oreb.
Weekly roster changes.
Full prize payout. No commission or fee.

If interested shoot me an email. The draft is only a week away and I need to get this done.

Thanks

weekly league, 1 win

FAAB budget for waivers

max teams 16

[ua]

When I click on the link it takes me to your leagues site But I don't see where you click to join.

[leaguegod]

hmmm well just go to join custom league and use the ID 86275

there is no password

[ua]

Okay well I figured it out.

When you do the search for custom leagues you have to filter using "Head to head win by
1" Or something like that and it will show up near the top of the page.

Kind of a tough spot to be found Easily, It will be tough to fill in less than 24 hours.

[leaguegod]

it'll fill as it comes closer, custom leagues always fill once you get close to the draft time

[spurs champs]

done

Hey Budge I signed up but I'm not 100% sure I'll be there for the entire draft given I'll be at work, but I'll just see what I get lumped with as a roster if that happens.

[leaguegod]

all good playmaker, i may miss the last round or 2

good to see a few familiar faces join up, keen to go up against roost in a non keeper league battle again

13 teams, 3 away from the 16, should get ther

[ua]

Well you sure were right the league is full. If you have not done so already, I suggest you go to commissioner tools and finalize rosters so nobody pulls out of the league right before the draft and screws it up. Hate it when that happens.

[leaguegod]

yeah i did that straight away

[ua]

Well that was a fun little draft. When I saw that there is only one C To Phil I upgraded all of my point guards in my pre-rankings. I was a little nervous when I saw that I drafted 4 point guards in the first 4 rounds But I think it evens out very nicely after that. Deep and versatile, Weekly leagues are supposedly my specialties so I should finish in the top three with this roster. I don't know maybe maybe not, It always looks nice on paper in the beginning.
My preliminary week 1 Lineup against BB Is looking like this

Pg rose
Sg burks
G conley
Sf pierce
Pf varajao
F john henson
C valenciunus
Utility lilliard
Utility jeff teague

On my bench I have
Anthony Bennett in case varajao breaks.
Sepholosha In case alec burks Falls flat on his face.
Jared sullinger If I want more rebounds.
Tony wroten For the unlikely event that I will ever need an additional point guard.
And I have a few projecty Small for words like Terrence Jones and antedekampo That I can wait to develop for a a while before Paul Pierce takes his fogey naps.

Pretty pleased overall.
I noticed the obvious faces in the league, pm, bb, ardamus, ... I deduce gold standard is Spurs champs. Any other 3NCers I am not recognizing?

And how does that waiver thing work anyway? I have never used that feature.

[pm24]

Well, I'm a bit ho hum about my roster and have already sent my first trade request. Depending on what happens with that I might also be speaking with you UA about a possible trade.

I've already put Turner and David West on the trading block.

But this is what I ended up with, with my main concern being the lack of discernible strengths.

D Wade
Wes Matthews
Kevin Martin
Evan Turner
Lamarcus Aldridge
Demarcus Cousins (I'm actually happy about this pick)
Chris Kaman
David West
AK47
Mo Williams
Partick Beverley (this guy is a nice sleeper I reckon)
Ramon Sessions (I was loading up on pgs at this point)
Kevin Seraphin (with okafor out, has some serious upside if he can be consistent)
Andray Blatche (solid bench depth)
Omri Casspi (I'm hoping his pre-season form translates into regular season form)
Steve Blake (should have value while Kobe is out)

There are some nice pieces, but I just feel like they pieces put together don't represent a dangerous fantasy team. Work to do, but should be fun doing a weekly league.

I also have no idea how this waiver system works with the $100 budget??

[leaguegod]

roost is in there too "2013 premiers"

i think the 4 pg off the bat worked out alright for you in the end, as i said early, brand new to weekly league, excited to see how i go but i do expect some growing pains

re Faab, rather then using the standard waiver rules, you have a budget of $100 to spend through out the season for waiver claims
