:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o.

How did you handle all those teams last 2 seasons?
haha its ridiculous isnt it it was my first year and i wanted to work different drafting strategies etc to see what worked best for a future blueprint to stick by NFL is pretty easy ur team only needs a minute each week if the league is standard and once the byes have passed u can set ur best lineup and forget about it until playoff time... NBA u need to set a roster for each day of the week so its alot more work

True. NBA I set a week in advance because I would forget :P. NFL kept my best lineup for the majority of the season but suffered some injuries on the way :'(.

there was 1 league in particular i lost 1 game all year and lost the first final by 2pts to a team that was 6W 6L :'( can be a cruel game...

im loving the NBA this year last season i found it too hard to keep up with even with just 11 teams this year im running 30 something and all bar 1 is in the upper eschelon like u said u have to set it a week in advance so usually sunday night i run the gauntlet of rosters...

The thing that made my win was last week when I started Josh Freeman...the same week he threw five TD's  ;D It was a pretty balanced week this week which was all I needed

Thanks Marcz....funny thing is though. The one I won was the one I should've had no chance of winning. I had to win the last 5 games straight just to make it, was still the wildcard which meant facing the number 1 seed in the semis then still faced you in the final. Still I'll take it  :P

Josh Freeman though is a gun

cheers HP just got done tallying up my efforts for the season and it goes...

17 teams
147 wins
73 losses
2 draws
6 titles :D

worth noting 2 teams didnt make the playoffs by one spot and i was runnerup in 4 grand finals...

the year before i played a ridiculous 45 teams made 30 grand finals and won 16 so i think my crash course in fantasy nfl is over and il just play a handful of teams next year

Good work there Marcz. My results for the season:

10 teams
108 wins
46 losses
1 draw
3 titles

1st - 3 teams
2nd - 2
3rd - 3
5th - 1
8th - 1

The previous year (my first for NFL)  I got 6 out of 6 titles (most of them had lots of inactive managers though). This year I tried all of the main fantasy sites (Yahoo, ESPN, CBS, Fox, NFL)  and found Yahoo and ESPN to be the best. I'll stick to those two next season I reckon.

By far the most fun I've had drafting was in a Yahoo auction draft, a lot more strategy is involved. Takes a long time for everyone to draft but everyone turned up to draft and they seemed to know what they were doing.

really good job Glenn congratulations mate :) works in with my 1 in 3 title theory... u were like mike hussey in ur first season :o
next year im only going to do 18 i reckon 10 espn 8 yahoo as i found the same thing those 2 sites r miles ahead of the rest...
i did an auction in NBA my first year and omg "kill me billy" it went for 3 hours and i sucked at it :'( since then i cant bring myself to do another

Justin Bieber

I love the drafts and the banter in them ;D.
