Play Free Fantasy Football with Other FReepers!!

[Sideshow Bob]

Take the field with other FReepers & Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Football, a free game that gives you the chance to coach your own team of professional football players from opening weekend right through the late season playoff stretch. Your goal is to get the best lineup on the field every week, since the better your players perform in real-life games, the more value they bring to your fantasy team.

2002 marks the third season of FReeper Fantasy Football. Each week your team will square off in a matchup against another team to see whose players can score the most points each weekend.

The FReeper League will again feature a live online draft, where each owner selects a squad in real time with other owners. Every owner selects one player per round until their roster is full. The draft order reverses each round, so the manager that starts the first round will end the second, and the manager that ends the first round will start the second.

You'll need a Java-enabled browser in order to participate. Yahoo recommends Netscape or Internet Explorer version 3.0 or higher. If you won't be present for the entire draft, go to your team page and pre-rank players. Your pre-ranked players will be used if you can't make a selection at any time during the live draft. If you choose not to pre-rank, Yahoo's default ratings will be used when you can't make a selection.

Please arrive 10 minutes ahead of the scheduled time listed below as the draft will start promptly and may go rapidly if only a few managers are logged in.

For more information, consult the Yahoo Fantasy Football Rules.

All you need to play is a Yahoo! ID, so get yours now and get ready to strap it on. To play go to the Yahoo Fantasy Games Page at:

Welcome. This is my 3rd year in this league and I am not very good at it just missing the playoffs both times.

I will say, it is one of the most fun leagues.

Anyone that hasn't tried a fantasy league before.....this a good one. But, only join if you will stay the season.

[Sideshow Bob]

It is fun just getting close.

Hurry newcomers, just 4 spots left!

[AGreatPer]

Over the last few years I've tried several fantasy leagues. I'm not blowing smoke up your kilts but this is the best one. In fact football is the best kind of league followed by hockey. Golfing is by far the worst.

4 Spots open.
