Hi, my name is AK and I am a FF addict....

Ok, maybe it is not quite that bad, but I love the game, and would definitely be interested in participating. My only stipulation would be that, given my job situation (or lack thereof), it would need to be free.

Yes, I like Fantasy Football columns in Times and Daily Telegragh ! But I made a mistake of backing Liverpool players instead of Arsenal.

And my mind is going berserk imaging Britney making trademark Roy Keane' tackle against Haaland. That was simply criminal...

Sorry oleg, this is strictly American Fantasy Football, NFL style.

Yes AK, it will be free. Personally I would prefer using one of the availabel free Online league services to trying to put something together myself. There are two goods ones I know of, Yahoo and Sandbox (www.sandbox.com). Both have pay and free leagues. I would choose the free one. You have to register and put up with a few more spam emails, but 'eh would you notice?

Any preferance on which of the two we use? They both have similer features so for me it's a coin flip. I would think more of you are already registered with Yahoo, so if you all want that it's fine with me.

Ahh ! Then you should use the proper name, like AFF and do not confuse other 90% of humanity.

Ok, or you could look at the little "Ohio" below my post and probably assume which I mean.

Yahoo. I'm already signed up there, and I've heard that Sandlot has A TON of spam...

I've used both Yahoo and Sandbox, and would be happy with either.

Ok guys, Yahoo it is then.

I have created the InterGalactic Couch Potato Football League, or I.G.C.P.F.L. for short, on Yahoo. Here's the link to Yahoo fantasy football, "YAHOO!".

You should have an option to join a private league, and it will ask for the league ID, which is '226103', and the league password, which is 'se4rocks'.

Once you are in there is a league forum. So unless you have a problem actually joining the league, let's post our questions and suggestions there rather than clutter this thread up.

I have set the league up for 14 players. I can change that before we draft as low as 4 and as high as 20. So if the league is full let me know and I can make more room. The more the merrier.

I can also change league settings before we start so if you want to suggest changes to the setup, feel free. For the draft I chose "autopick" where you rank your players and then Yahoo does the draft based on that. They also have options for a live or offline draft if we want. I figured a live draft would be tough getting everybody together. I suppose we could do a slow offline draft via email or something if everybody wants to. Let me know.

I like either a thread draft (could be done here, or even at the site) or a live draft. I hate not being able to make quick decisions. If we do a thread or email draft, we need to set a time limit per pick.

The Dead Emperors are signed up and ready to start training camp.
