GWJFFL 2019: Registration

GWJFFL is still a thing?

It may not be at this rate. Like Garion said, we talked about opening Dynasty back up in April so we could do trades and whatnot during the offseason. Yet here we are.

Part of the issue is that nobody knows what the hell is going to happen.

Honestly, I don't feel good about setting deadlines and asking for fees for a league year that I have low confidence in. Though I expect football to happen in some form, planning a fantasy season around a September start date feels... optimistic, let's say.

If ukick would like the keys to the car, I'd be happy to hand them over. I never wanted the damn things in the first place. *glares at Grumpy*

Oh, man, def don't take folks' money.

A Dynasty draft would be nice since there's continuity. And I know you wanna get your hands on Laviska Shenault.

We can skip money league this year, that makes sense to me.

I'd be fine taking over the duties for dynasty. You added me as co-commish last year so I could do some things but when you ported the league over this year it took that away so I can't do any setup. I'd just need from you some clarification on the draft order settings if it goes by regular season standings for everyone or if the playoffs (and consolation bracket) finishes determine it. I seem to recall the non-playoff teams are set based on regular season (overall record then total points) and playoff teams are set based on playoffs. If so, please let me know if this is the order that it should be:

1. billbonney
2. pieceofcake
3. emmes
4. oldman
5. kush
6. garion
7. chaduba
8. docjoe
9. ukick
10. legion
11. erichoya
12. iaintgotnopants

Man, winning sucks.

I don't even care about FF season as long as we do Dynasty draft we can completely punt the season as far as I go.

Gah wrong thread.

1 month till kickoff

I have commish powers again in dynasty so I set the draft order for how I listed it above.

-- Should be able to propose trades now. Not hearing any naysayers from what was proposed a few months back of being able to trade either a first round pick or 2 later round picks for this year's draft will be in play. Those numbers are a total for the draft, not a per-trade number.

-- Sleeper has a keeper limit of 15 whereas we have a limit of 22. I've contacted them and there is no way to increase this so people will need to PM me the (up to) 22 players they want to keep before the draft and I will delete the other players from their roster 2 days before the draft.

-- When is good draft sheet is up now beginning 2 weekends before the season begins. Please fill out asap. Default timezone is Eastern but you can change it at the top: https://whenisgood.net/gwjffl2020.

-- Only rule change I've selected in the settings is to allow Covid-19 list players to be added to the IR. If anyone has any objections, let me know.

Man, Covid players using up IR space seems unfair. Should we expand IR lists this Eason to make room for them?

That would be fine with me if that is the way folks want to do it. It probably doesn't make much impact either way in dynasty anyways with the huge rosters.

Ah, we're using the 2019 thread for dynasty! Works for me, but since we've contacted all the owners, can we cc: important conversation into sleeper? Just seeing now I need to send the list of 22 to ukick. Thanks again for commissionering.

I'd be in favor of a 2020-only increase to 4 IR

As people watching the sleeper chat already know, I've enabled people to be able to cut players so that should be an easier method than sending me the players if you want to do it that way. Only downside to enabling that now is that people can also add players. Please don't add anybody before the draft. I'll reverse the transaction if it happens.

With 7 of 12 responses so far, we are already down to only 2 times that everyone can make it, Monday the 31st at 10 eastern, and Tuesday the 8th at 10 eastern.

5 remaining peoples, please keep those 2 times in mind and fill it out by this weekend so we can set it up.

Hey, I was just wondering if GWJ had a fantasy league and ran across this thread. It's probably a little late to be reaching out, and certainly a weird year, but I figured I'd ask if there are any open leagues.

I'd be happy to jump into one if so! Thanks

In past years we have done yearly leagues, but doesn't look like one is happening this season. Only one up and running is dynasty.

Dynasty draft will be Sept 8 at 10pm Eastern.
Please make sure to drop your rosters to 22 or less by Sept 6.

Jalen Hurts #10 overall here I come.

It's not too late to do a yearly/redraft league for 2020, we just need to get it done. Is the main roadblock a commissioner? I think the two takeaways we had on sleeper were
* very little interest in a money league because covid
* meh interest in a non-pro league, and no gonzo.

I'd be willing to commish for a http://sleeper.app 2020 redraft if
* there's enough interest in this thread
* there's no money
* I don't have to futz with custom rules apart from 0.5 ppr and 2 day faab waiver
* I don't have to figure out weekly threads. Did grumpicus's scripts ever make it over to sleeper?
* I mostly check sleeper and not the forums
* we draft sometime between sept 7 and kickoff

I’m in if there is another league

I'd be up for a redraft as you mentioned. Just based on my experience the past month or so with dynasty I seriously doubt we'll get enough people to express interest within the next week though.

I don't think grump's scripts translated over because people not in the league can't see the sleeper info like they could in fleaflicker.

Put me down for a redraft... thing.

So if Erichoya, Pants, and Docjoe don't drop their players today what do folks suggest I do? Should I cut players from their roster myself? They've all responded at some point in the past they were still in but have done nothing with their rosters.

Thanks for making the cuts Doc.

Discussed with Legion and since the deadline was yesterday and we draft tomorrow, I will give it to about 11pm Eastern tonight before I head to sleep and will then proceed to make cuts to the other 2 teams.

Players that will be cut are:

pants: PIT D, Denver D, Kicker Will Lutz, Kicker Hauschka, WR Jakobi Meyers, WR Gunner Olszewski, RB Ito Smith

erichoya: K Gould, K Forbath, D Colts, D Cowboys, D Lions, D Giants, WR Beasley, RB Hines, QB Dalton

Sorry, I kind of forgot it was even September yet.

Whoops, I missed some discussions going on here. I'll keep an eye on things here, and if leagues start up next year I'd be happy to jump in.

We have an abandoned team in Dynasty League if someone wants to take it over starting for Week 5. If you'd like the team, please do so with the intent to stay beyond this season. The team has Russell Wilson, CEH, and Josh Jacobs as its main players.
