DUFantasizers season 4- Fantasy football

All those that were in last year will be receiving a renew email sometime in the next week or so.

Yahoo has changed to allow keeper leagues. Any interest? It won't make a difference this year, but next year and down the road, it will.

Keeper league? Nah. Probably too much turnover from year to year. Let's see who shows up first, at least.

I wouldn't mind playing a keeper league, I'll show up every year!
Just how much turnover is there? Could we make arrangements for incoming new players to pick a keeper from previous team of outgoing player?

My team league name is, Parcell's Disciples, Looking forward to a fun season with my DUers.

This will be my third season here, I think. I would guess there is about one third turnover from season to season, but the organizers could give you better insight. When I was addicted to Madden I always played in Franchise Mode, myself.

Would I be amiss in guessing you are a disciple of the stinky fishy Parcells?

I have been a Parcell's fan ever since he was Head Coach of the New England Patriots, he taught a slew of great coaches how to succeed. Go Belichick, Go Patriots!

if we lack members.

I'd be interested in a keeper. Preferably if my connection is in top shape so I can make the picks but either way, I'll put a lot of time ranking my auto-draft list and roll with it. I don't mind. So count me in if that's what everyone else wants.

wouldn't come into play until next year.

You would be able to keep 7, 8, 9 or 10 players from this years roster.

Draft RG lll and keep him on the bench for a year. Different strategy involved.

I was just saying I'm willing to do a keeper even though my roster for this year will likely be random. The way my connection has been these days I'm likely auto-drafting my roster this year.

We usually add one or two new managers a year.

We have 3 managers from last year that have not responded to the renewal invitations.

Gonna give a few more days to accept or deny then send out for replacement managers. (We can replace them without any problems as they're management, not unionized )

That number could be expanded as the seasons goes on, if we can keep turnover low.

Not a many turnovers in managers. People put effort in building their team.

If the number was 7 (one of my leagues is 10), you don't have to keep 7. If you keep 3 and I keep 7, you get to draft in the 1st 4 rounds and I don't until we are even personnel wise.

I like the option to keep a player at every position.

I'd like to get on the list.

We just picked draft order today on my 12 team work league - I got 12.


Not a problem though, 2 of the top 13 players is a nice start.
