2025 paid Surly FF League - It's happening. Draft tonight at 10:30 ET/9:30 CT

Featured Replies

 

Just keeping with the theme.

Update: We have 10 and possibly 11. Draft will be Wednesday night, likely 9:30 Central. 

$100 entry. PPR and standard scoring. QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, Flex, Flex, DST, K.

Need one more to make it a 10/12 team league in case we don't hear from Jack.

I’m in at a hundo. $200 is probably more than I’d want to do.

Your buddy, as well? If so we are up to 6. 8 would be pretty dumb but we could do it. Start recruiting fellas.

@Steelers Roll Left I don't know what platform. Would like to fill the league first. If you're interested it's at 8. I would hope for a minimum of 10. Think we could get 2-4 more by next Thursday? 

  • Author

That would be 8. I'm not sure what Roll Left's intent is. I think we need at least ten. I posted it up on the football board the other day and no interest. Not hopeful but we've got a week so no harm in letting it play out and see if we can get 2-4 more.

sorry this is so last minute but i’ll join if we can get 10 in time for a draft. 

also i’d prefer espn as i find it to be less shitty than yahoo. 

If you still need people I’m in if needed

is this gonna be ppr? what are the roster setups? what are the scoring settings? what are horseshoes? are there horse socks? is anybody listening?

I think we have 10 and that's enough to have a go. Please confirm participation for you and your +1s.

1. @tokamak

2. @ITHorn

3. @ITHorn's buddy

4. @Zwylde

5. @Jack Straw

6. @Jack Straw's buddy

7. @Doc Sam Beckett

8. @Derka

9. @Zepol87

10. Me

Still happy to go to twelve if we can get two more. 

I'd say PPR, standard scoring, QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, Flex (2), TE, K, DST and 6 bench spots. Does anyone object? Just trying to throw some parameters together here. ESPN is cool. 

I have a draft Wednesday at 9:30 ET, could we maybe draft at like 8 ET/7 CT Wednesday so I'm not juggling too many windows?

$100 buy in, $700 to champ, $300 to second, third place gets nothing and likes it.

I’m a go. Just tell me when and where. The later the better regarding draft times.

Any suggestions on the scoring? I like what the monkey laid out, but I've also never played any wacko leagues like QB flex

When you guys confirm, please pm me email addresses for yourself and if you have a co owner or if you have a buddy who you identified as wanting their own team.

the only thing i’ll suggest is that in recent years the other leagues im in have gone to using two flex spots to regency the depth of talent i the league, and i prefer that over just one flex.

@Baboontyme monkey, I like this idea. 

Anyone else have any input? 

  • Author

I'm good with it, especially if we wind up with only ten teams. Send me your email please Doc. I won't set the league up and send out invites until tomorrow night in case we can get two more. 

 

  • Baboontyme changed the title to 2025 paid Surly FF League - It's happening. 10 spots filled. Can take two more.

“10 spots filled, can take two more”

title of your sex tape.

I’m good.  If the draft stays in that spot, you’ll have to bear with me as I have bowling league at that time so I may need a couple of time extensions if timing gets a little wonky.

If we can get @Jack Straw to confirm himself and his +1 we can try to pull the draft off tomorrow night if the time is more convenient. Everyone else is confirmed.  I'm happy to try to do both of these drafts at the same time, I just don't want to have to do early rounds at the same time as I'll be manager of both so I would like to stagger. Worried about having to stop, restart, etc if there are issues. Please vote on your preference by posting in this thread, and please let me know if you have a hard conflict and can't do one of these. 

 

Tuesday 9 PM Central

Wednesday 7 PM Central

Wednesday 9:30 Central

i can’t do tomorrow, i need it to be wednesday. of course if @henrygandorf is available then it’s a moo point.

My votes would be

  1. Wednesday 9:30
  2. Tuesday 9
  3. Wednesday 7

In fact, I probably can't make it Wednesday at 7. If I have to autodraft though that's fine

1. Tuesday 9

2. Wed 9:30

3. Wed 7

but I can make any of them work.

I don't have any league invite Baboon. have you sent them out yet?

  • Author

No not yet. I need to get Jack and his buddy's emails and then I'll set it up and send invites. 

  • Author

Getting a bit nervous this is going to fall through if we don't hear from Jack. Can't exactly draft for him and his buddy. I did PM him in addition to tagging him above. 

8 team league with 4 flex spots? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

  • Author

Sweet. Can we get another?? 10 with the chance to go up to 12 is much better than 8 with a chance to go to 10. 

  • Baboontyme changed the title to 2025 paid Surly FF League - It's happening. ATTN Jack Straw. Need one more to make it 10 with room to grow!
  • Author

Ok, here is my plan. Still hoping of course I can get a reply from Jack and get his and his buddy's info. Either way, hope 1 is to get one more from the board to join and then we have 10 including @elguapo whether we hear from Jack or not. If that doesn't happen by late morning-ish, I think I can talk my nephew into taking a spot if I help fund his team (I would not collude, I ain't about that). OR @Derka @henrygandorf any interest in splitting up and each taking a team? If not to both of those, I'll see if I can farm someone off of the rivals MSU board. In a perfect world we get Jack and his buddy in, plus elguapo and another via one of the methods above. 

Either way by tomorrow, let's say 6 pm ET/5 CT, I'm going to set the league up and send out invites. I want to give as much time as possible to get other owners in. I will also draw teams from a hat for draft order, nod to Mama Derka. I would absolutely love for her to do it if we knew who the teams were lol. I will have my daughter do it, I'll record it and post it here and I think ESPN also will send an email out. She's 12 so don't get excited. 

The draft will be at 10:30 ET tomorrow night. 

Feel free to ask anyone you think might or might not be interested for this last spot to even us out. 

 

Sorry, just logged in and saw this. I am in for tomorrow night, whenever. Let me message my friend now and see if he can do it tomorrow night.

Alright, things looking good. We are confirmed at 10, @elguapo is in if necessary at 11, and I already have a message out to my nephew about 12. I'll follow the same timeline unless I get a confirmation from my nephew or someone on surly that they will take team #12. If or when that happens I'll set the league up as and get invites out as an as I can.

Even if you don't send out the league invites until later today can you please post the official league settings so we can see scoring and roster requirements?

  • Author

When you go to set the league up, the very first thing you have to set is the number of teams. I'm still hoping we can get a 12th. But we will use ESPN standard scoring for a ppr league. I believe it's 6 point TDs, 4 pt passing TDs etc.
