Just pick one league, make it a big one and use pairing if need be.
2015 Redcafe NFL Fantasy League
- Thread starter Eboue
- Start date
The only problem with a big league (14+ teams) is that you run out of players.
Its going to be tough for Ebooe to run this anyway, with so many players and co-players. I'd consider doing two leagues - one on each platform - if it makes sense. I could always manage the NFL.com one. However, its more fun with more of us involved in a single league. I've a few scores to settle from last year.

Does the number of participants affect the draft?
Well yeah. The more teams involved means less quality players for each team to choose from. 14 is about the maximum you can have with each team having a decent amount of good players. Any more than 14 teams means you're going to have some shite players on your team.
Withdraw now!
Eboue there appears to be some sort of mistake.
NFL, ESPN, Yahoo, paper based...none of it really matters, the outcome will be the same. Me celebrating, you crying. Eboue already tried leaving me out of auto having my own team because he's shitting it.
Have you even made the play-offs yet?
Is it really, la?
Ah bless!
I'll play.
Tore sh*t up last year.
Tore sh*t up last year.
Do you know anything about the nfl?
Yes.
Convince me
Steelers have won the most Super Bowls.
damo pls
What?
I'll go and make my own NFL draft with blackjack and hookers. Feck you, Ebooe. So discriminatory.
It's not fair for you to wum. I would never do that to you.
I wasn't wumming for crying out loud. Feck you man. I'm done.
Bitches, please
You've never posted in the NFL thread. If you really want to play I'll get you in but you should be able to see why I am skeptical.
I'm not playing seeing as you're only treating me like this. Not everyone is like you or MF signing up for something then changing mind minutes before it starts.
damo be cryin'
Alright then bye.
It's going to be NFL.com, are you in or out?
Alright so here are the possible solutions to a large league:
As benevolent dictator, we are going with #3. Any more than 14 teams ruins the balance of available players. Separate leagues makes it less fun, as AC said.
- Lots of teams and smaller rosters. Barely any bench at all, 1 WR, 1 RB, 1 FLEX. This option sucks because a single injury can ruin your season.
- 2 leagues. This option sucks because it's not really a redcafe league anymore. Part of the fun is when everyone gets to remind @JP77 just how much he sucks. It's less fun when only 50% get to do that. In addition, I guarantee that some of the people signing up now will become inactive.
- Pairing people up. This helps hedge against people becoming inactive. It also works because we have lots of new players.
- Booting people out. This is a non-starter.

Option 3 seems the best option for the current situation we're in with new players, some inactives etc. Are we going to pair up yet?
Done
Working on it now. You're with stobzilla though.
3 all day long. Fully active players from last year or previous years should be given first preference for their own team. Nice work Ebooe
4 makes the most sense, but we'll end up going with 3, because it's fair.
Yep. That's what we are doing.
I've got the team set up now except for De Selby. He needs to pair with one of these guys.

I'd prefer to be out, but if you want someone who half knows what they're doing to pair up with someone new - am happy to do that
Thanks. Out for now, will let you know if someone drops out.
