Great episode! It's fantastic to listen to @realBitcoinDog plus our usual hosts, @grayruby and @Undisciplined. Love the gambling speech, @realBitcoinDog. I agree that how we interact with each other in SN makes a difference.
Just to come to the defence of the integrity of the league @realBitcoinDog (yeah any "normal" league would never have had a team like that). How UD got all those players was that it was an auction draft. And he spent big. Also it is 6man (I really wanted 10 but we got what we got). Hopefully we get more stackers playing next year.

I will try to participate too, though I am still not familiar to the players to be honest!

Trust me, I'm a Brit, I never knew anything about American football. I just thought they were fake (and soft) rugby imitators. (They're not).
I got into American football because of fantasy. Having skin in the game and rooting for your players really (in my opinion) helps you get involved and begin to understand the game in a really fun and interactive way.
I mentioned when I set the league up I am more than happy to help new players, coach them a little, point them towards resources that they might find helpful. It's a game at the end of the day and it's meant to be fun. I hope to emulate that for people in my leagues.

Awesome keep eyes on the stacker sports territory for the call to fantasy arms sometime in August/September ish.

Make sure to draft a good kicker and defense right away

Running backs my guy, running backs. Wide Receivers are a dime a dozen, RB drop off is insane. Tight end has some positional scarcity but you either get one or you stream one.
Kickers turn and burn until you find a consistent one. And a top defence is useful but again, you can stream those.
🤣🤣🤣 especially this year. The kicker position has been a mockery this season.
reply
Sometimes I like to imagine football without kickers.
I think you need punting though. You could get rid of kickoffs, field goals and extra points but you need punts.
It’s easy just don’t draft any San Francisco 49ers players

Deebo has been ruining my year this season in a home league.
reply
Hope you started Deebo this week. Angry Deebo usually has a big game.
reply
He’s losing tonight tho he’s going against the LA Rams killer secondary! He’ll be the reason the 49ers choke in the 4th
reply
Don’t worry. I will be posting the TNF discussion thread soon so you can share all your hot takes and trash talk.
reply
I was worried for a moment that you wouldn't want to bring upon that shame and embarrassment to yourself!
ARE YOU EVEN WEARING YOUR 49ERS HAT??
Oof

I also went all in on Anthony Richardson... So I've been scrambling to stream waiver fodder QBs. Written that league off for the year I think.
reply
I did not spend big.
Mahomes and Allen cost me a total of $14. You all spent more on just your QB1's.
I did shell out for Chase, though.
reply
Oh yeah. You played a really good auction now I remember. Whilst the rest of us were bidding up RBs. Once the budgets got depleted you were in prime position to get some great assets for filthy cheap.
reply
You’re getting warmer, but Allen and Mahomes were my first two picks.
reply
My memory is god awful 🤣🤣. I just can't have Mahomes in any of my teams so I'd have likely ignored him when he was nominated. It doesn't make sense, it's not logical, but I don't draft players I don't like.
reply
That makes sense. I got both of them before everyone was ready. You must not have bid much for Allen and then nothing on Mahomes.
reply
I’m in!
reply
Yessir!!! Lets go! I'll be looking to draft (auction again I think, easier than trying to do an international draft decider, and auction is really fun and strategic) sometime around august/September. There'll be a call to fantasy arms post here. We're on sleeper at the moment but I'm considering moving over to ESPN, I find ESPNs UI a little cleaner to work with.
reply
I do yahoo fantasy. I recommend it!
reply
I've never used yahoo as a platform. What sort of functionality do you get out of it? Dynasty support like taxi and draft pick trades?
I tend to use sleeper for dynasty as it has good taxi support and draft pick trading but it's UI is so unnecessarily gimmicky.
ESPN is pretty decent and of the two is my favourite. But has zero taxi support and makes dynasty a little bit of a pain, but for redraft it's always been decent.
reply
Yahoo Fantasy has it all
reply
Yea exactly I’m not here to cast shade just set the record straight 💯
reply
Nah don't worry I didn't take insult, in a regular 10 team snake draft UDs line up is insane. But in auction draft, that's very achievable and even more so in a 6man... but next year expansion! I'm already hype for next year and I'm riding the incoming playoff hype, it's like double hype.
Have you seen the weekly recaps? Who've you got for the title??
