Hello Sports Stackers!

It's here!

i've put together the basics of the Stacker Sports SN Fantasy NFL League! i've currently got it set at 32 participants (the max) but once the league is ready to draft, entry will be closed, i hope to achieve a decent sized league but it is quite important that we have an equal number of teams.

Everyone of all skill/experience levels are welcome to join the league, i intend to maintain a friendly and light hearted atmosphere with a competitive element. This is for fun and to interact with you stacking buddies.

Please follow this link to join the league. you will need to create a sleeper account if you don't already have one. https://sleeper.com/i/YEJq0V24MP2O

My advice would be to do a few mock drafts, get used to the layout of the sleeper app and come up with the best team name. i look forward to having a blast with all the participants!

Lets Go!

Pub 👊

21 sats \ 18 replies \ @grayruby fwd 9 Aug

Not sure. @Public_N_M_E when did you want to do the fantasy football draft?

57 sats \ 17 replies \ @Public_N_M_E OP 9 Aug

It was just a randomly selected date @HardMoney but I'm available to draft Saturday and I can set it in stone if everyone agrees. Saturday at 1800EST work for everyone? @grayruby @Undisciplined @StillStackinAfterAllTheseYears @Coinsreporter (you expressed interest but haven't yet joined the league follow this link https://sleeper.com/i/YEJq0V24MP2O)

Reminder, check the sleeper chat ;)

Should we do a 1k / 10k / other denomination of sat buy in to keep it interesting for a little winner payout?

10 sats \ 0 replies \ @Bell_curve 22 Aug

Yes!

52 sats \ 2 replies \ @grayruby fwd 9 Aug

Spicy. Don't forget we also have the survivor pool coming in September and buy in will be 20k sats this year.

I’ve found leagues without a financial incentive aren’t managed as competitively lol

71 sats \ 0 replies \ @Public_N_M_E OP 9 Aug

I had wanted to. However, due to having so many first time fantasy players, I didn't think it fair to charge so for now and at least this season, I'm keeping it free. In the future however, I'm very up for it.

However, I am not opposed to weekly wagers between opponents, but that would be managed by them.

Can I also join?

20 sats \ 0 replies \ @Public_N_M_E OP 9 Aug

Absolutely! We'd need to find another to keep the numbers even, but I could run an auto team if we don't find another. Just follow the link https://sleeper.com/i/YEJq0V24MP2O

52 sats \ 4 replies \ @Coinsreporter 9 Aug

I've joined the league. Do I need to draft straight away or is it game wise selection?

111 sats \ 3 replies \ @Public_N_M_E OP 9 Aug

So we'll be drafting at the same time in an auction format.

Once the drafts finished you'll have your team for the season, each game week you choose who to start or sit, you can add players from waivers via faab dollers each week and drop players you no longer want. Trades are also highly encouraged if you like a player on another owners team, reach out, see if you can get a deal going.

Just try to remember to set your line up each week.

What happens if I spend my entire 200 dollars on CMC. Haha. Are there some free players I can pick to make out the rest of my roster?

20 sats \ 0 replies \ @Public_N_M_E OP 9 Aug

I think the platform allows you to fill out a roster after the draft. But you wouldn't be able to draft anyone else.

Ok, I am in. I just need to be on the app at that time?

20 sats \ 2 replies \ @Public_N_M_E OP 9 Aug

Correct, the apps UI for drafting is pretty helpful honestly.

You can also do it on desktop by going to sleeper.app and login as normal. If you prefer desktop to mobile.

I estimate the draft to take maybe an hour, maybe 2. Should be ok with about 2mins per pick.

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby fwd 9 Aug

I am going to be honest. I don't remember anything about our draft. I have no idea how many players we are drafting, how many at each position. If I log into the app now will I be able to do some research on what we are doing tomorrow so I at least have a clue?

50 sats \ 0 replies \ @Public_N_M_E OP 9 Aug

Yep, you'll see the roster size in the team section of the app, it's an auction draft as there's no fair way to do snake or linear without a predetermined draft order.

So the person on the clock nominates a player to be bid on. Everyone bids and highest bid wins. You only have 200$ budget, so bid accordingly.

That works for me

Can I join?

20 sats \ 0 replies \ @Public_N_M_E OP 4 Aug

Absolutely. Follow the link in the post, you'll need to set up a sleeper account. The link should automatically bring you straight into the league.

41 sats \ 3 replies \ @siggy47 4 Aug

Sorry. I can't. I have too many personal commitments right now that are only going to get worse for the next 6 months. I hope you guys find someone else to make 8. I'm rooting for you!

63 sats \ 2 replies \ @Public_N_M_E OP 4 Aug

No worries sigz. I'm sorry to hear you're swamped and under pressure right now. Thinking of you bud 👊

41 sats \ 1 reply \ @siggy47 4 Aug

Thanks and good luck. I'll be watching. Maybe next year!

63 sats \ 0 replies \ @Public_N_M_E OP 4 Aug

I think switching to redraft might be the right call, gives us options to expand the league next year.

135 sats \ 1 reply \ @Public_N_M_E OP 4 Aug

Due to our current numbers I suggest we switch to redraft rather than dynasty for now. We can always re-evaluate at the end of the season.

@grayruby @HardMoney @Undisciplined @StillStackinAfterAllTheseYears @siggy47

@tnuts420 & @BTC_Bellzer did you guys want in? Still spots available.

Reminder to all to check into the app every now and again.

I'm hoping to draft quite soon (next week, week after, whatever suits)

41 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined 4 Aug

Whatever you think will work, I'm in.

50 sats \ 0 replies \ @Public_N_M_E OP 25 Jul

@tnuts420 @BTC_Bellzer you guys in?

We should be able to draft next weekend?

71 sats \ 1 reply \ @BTC_Bellzer 13 Apr

Wait, am I doing this or no I forget?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Public_N_M_E OP 13 Apr

You said maybe 🤣🤣 but we could definitely make it a maybe yes?? If @siggy47 chooses to join, with you aswell Bellzer that's 8 and that's a decent size for a fun league.

71 sats \ 3 replies \ @HardMoney 24 Mar

Interesting betting on the app too. Surprised the betting is available in TX

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @Public_N_M_E OP 24 Mar

I haven't tried it personally. But I do find the money lines helpful when tryna make start em sit em decisions.

I'm assuming Texas has some really tight gambling laws?

50 sats \ 1 reply \ @HardMoney 24 Mar

The weird thing about Texas is that sports betting is illegal for betting on teams / money line but it seems you can bet on player stats. Like draftkings is good and this sleeper app has a bunch of player stat over unders for parlay betting

i'm in. glad we're doing this, my regular league kinda fell apart a couple years ago, so it'll be nice playing again.

so is this a money league? has there been any discussion on buy-in's and the like, or are we just going to be forced to make side bets on sn? because i'll play either way, but i'd rather play for money

41 sats \ 1 reply \ @Public_N_M_E OP 20 Mar

considering most of the stackers who showed interest also expressed their inexperience i thought it best to keep it For Fun Only. but that absolutely doesnt prohibit individual stackers from placing a jellybean or two on the outcomes of individual matchups. but those wagers will be kept between those stackers. for at least the first year it'll be a free league, after that, we can absolutely discuss buyins and have a BTC prizepot or something to compete for.

51 sats \ 0 replies \ @tnuts420 20 Mar

fair enough

41 sats \ 10 replies \ @Public_N_M_E OP 20 Mar

@tnuts420 do i see the makings of a rivalry already 🤣🤣

51 sats \ 9 replies \ @tnuts420 20 Mar

oh you better believe it buddy. we haven't even drafted yet, and it is already most decidedly on. it's on like donkey kong

41 sats \ 8 replies \ @Public_N_M_E OP 20 Mar

oh yeah, we got ourselves a stew going. this is going to be a wicked season. dont forget we did renew our 10ksats on the outcome of the NFC North already.

51 sats \ 7 replies \ @tnuts420 20 Mar

don't you worry sir, i would never forget i also win money when the vikings choke this season. it's almost tradition at this point

41 sats \ 6 replies \ @Public_N_M_E OP 20 Mar

you got lucky last season. kirk and jefferson getting hurt was an unrecoverable blow for us. and cmon lets be real the bears or packers aren't going to win.

42 sats \ 5 replies \ @grayruby fwd 20 Mar

NFC North might be the best division in football this season. I think the Bears will be much improved but probably find a way to screw it up. Pack is good. Lions are good. If Vikings can manage to hold it together it could be quite a season.

71 sats \ 4 replies \ @Public_N_M_E OP 20 Mar

i think the bears will probably find a way to screw it up and likely ruin caleb williams career the way they did justin fields. the pack... are following the same trajectory as the lions, young and show potential, lets see if they can take another step forward. the lions i kinda expect to take a step back, there were a lot of games where mistakes were covered up by luck, a bit like the vikings 2022 season honestly. and the vikings will do the same thing we always do... show promise, get hype, go to the wild card, win in some crazy fashion and then get blown out in the divisional. it is just the cycle of a vikings fan. hype -> belief -> disappointment -> back to hype.

I hope Vikings are drafting a QB

51 sats \ 5 replies \ @Undisciplined 20 Mar

Alright, I'm in.

51 sats \ 4 replies \ @Public_N_M_E OP 20 Mar

i am really excited for this. i'm hoping to be able to put together a weekly report as a blog post in stacker_sports to go with the league activity. talk about trades when they happen, free agent acquisitions etc etc etc. it's going to be a blast.

51 sats \ 3 replies \ @Undisciplined 20 Mar

I'm excited too. I've only done fantasy once and it was several years ago. My wife and I won a family league as a team, but the league didn't continue.

51 sats \ 2 replies \ @Public_N_M_E OP 20 Mar

get your wife on board. i'm in a few leagues and although i do compete in some really competitive leagues, mostly i just enjoy the for fun leagues. new players aren't something to take advantage of, they're people to coach and help along. i'm here to provide a fun environment not sap peoples enjoyment out of a game. taking advantage of people isn't my MO. i just want to have a good time and talk nonsense with like minded individuals.

what i'm getting at is if she's interested but put off at the idea of being a target for more experienced players (and this goes for anyone else reading this). not on my watch.

51 sats \ 1 reply \ @Undisciplined 20 Mar

I promise she's not going to be interested. It was a bit of a carry job to win that championship.

71 sats \ 0 replies \ @Public_N_M_E OP 20 Mar

haha! thems be fighting words! you gotta go through me to win this championship this time 😉
