It just picks your highest available player when it is your turn to pick. The order goes 1-8 for the first round, then 8-1 the second round, then 1-8 again, and etc.

You'll score tons of points, but that Rochester defense isn't the same without Andrew Turner, IMO. One man isn't a team, but he sure made a difference.

Malawsky: Older, but still can score.

I have a lot of love for Dally, but he's not the same as he was even 3 years ago. And Portland has some talent (don't forget Merrill as well), but overall, they're still an expansion franchise. I realize they're better than their half brother, the Anaheim Storm, but I personally don't have a lot of confidence in them. If I'm wrong, it wouldn't be the first time...just don't make a 3 thread rant about it...like some people have been known to do....lol

Jalbert :is a ground ball machine and can also score, a defensive-minded player, who is dangerous on both sides of the floor

Craig Connn: isn't a major point scorer or loose ball getter, he's a role player, and a great sub to have (I wouldn't start him, unless he starts putting up major numbers)

Steenhuis: is another excellent player.. he was thir in points for Bandits and picked up a whopping 141 ground balls!

Wulder: is a 30+ points getter, not terrible, and is an average loosie getter

Ryan Powell: was third leading scorer for Anaheim last year,, hardly a slouch.. also picked up 76 loose balls which is a trememdous amount

Biers: is a 25 point getter, and had 68 loosies last year.. good all around role player, not necessarily someone I'd start

Malawskiy is a 50 point getter and usually averages around 50 or so loosies.. he is a great player.. def. a starter.. and no slouch

Fines is a 20 point getter and a role player.. average loosies, and probably not your starter.. another role player by all accounts

Gill: is an all-pro forward .. eigth leading goal scorer in league history

Carey: has MLS experience and also played for Canisius College.. he has a range of field and box experience including a stint as a laker .. he has already tallied 4 points in his debut with Colorado.. he is a rookie.. a great weapon to have

Picking the Portland defence is a tough call. Their D looks solid on paper but its hard to imagine an expansion team doing well. Hey who knows, Buffalo tore it up their first year.

My top four picks:

CGY F Tracey Kelusky
ARZ F Dan Dawson
BUF F Dan Teat
ARZ F Craig Conn

My D
TOR G Toronto Defense (~7th round pick....best D scored about 26 pts over the whole season, whereas the worst one scored -22....didn't figure defense mattered as much in this pool)

OK, now I can score goals and field a decent defense. That's good, but look at this collection of Rookies......

PHI F Luke Wiles
ARZ F Matt Brown
EDM F Jordan Cornfield
ROC F Shawn Evans
PHI F Sean Greenhalgh


If I'm not mistaken, that's damn near every marquee offensive rookie in the NLL. Best part is that I didn't waste anything higher than a fourth round pick to get any of them!!!! (Guess there's not too many hardcore Junior A fans in league 135!)

I also scooped two others, who could post decent numbers if they get floor time.
ARZ F Andy Secore
ARZ F Mike McLellan

RockStar
01-10-2006, 07:49 PM
*Someone called Conn a "role player". He's way more than that, he's a helluva playmaker. He's also strong as an ox and is damn near unstoppable on his way to the net.

He started last season with MN, and was out for at least three games with injury, so don't rate him only by last year's point total.

This season, he's got Jonas Derks and Dan Dawson playing every attack shift with him.....No less than 65 points if he doesn't get injured.

shiftylax
01-13-2006, 01:23 PM
I get the point of it...it just seems forced, especially since it didnt start until the third week and there was little to no promotion for it on the NLL site.

I'm just bitter because I love fantasy sports and I wanted to ACTUALLY play a real lacrosse one that wasn't a variation on "pick whomever you like and beat your friends".

but I digress.

Plus it looks like stegs is going to kill me in my league and that is completely unacceptable.

if you read the rules then they say that if your defense doesnt play that week than they get an average amount of points they got all season

i just want to say that I'm thankfu for any fantasy lacrosse - but...

NO DRAFT? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WHAT IS THE POINT?

My list is completely random, I got none of the players I ranked in the top 10 and none of the defenses I ranked in the top 50.

Random fantasy sports? Come now.

There's no way you didn't get one player you had in your top 10. It works on a system where each round you move up the rank and than back down once you have a first round selection. How many defenses did you have in your top 50? Something's not adding up dude. :bull:

My four top guns (Kelusky, Conn, Dawson, Greenhalgh) are doing well. My supporting cast (Luke Wiles, Shawn Evans, Jimmy Quinlan, Kevin Howard) are pitching in here and there when some of the other guys have been on a bye week. I didn't get the guys I really wanted, but hey, I drafted last, so you take what you can get.

Toronto's defense has been adequate. Considering that I didn't even list a defense until about 7th round, I'm doing OK in this category.

Season overall - doing decent at 4-2. My two losses were from the first two weeks and were mostly due to Toronto's dog-shi7 start to this season.

I lost in the semifinals too, aftering finishing first during the regular season. But I got screwed over. In the second last week of the regular season, I didn't get the correct poitns aloted to almost my entire team. Guys that scored four goals, were left with zero points and it was only one game for them that weekend so it's not like I got the games started messed up. So I ended up lossing like 18-2 even though I should have scored easily over 20 points. Although I still won the regular season, the placing below me got all screwed up becasue of the point mistakes. Long story shot (or long actually) I ended up playing a team I shouldn't have becasue of that week and now won't win my year. I also got screwed last week when Craig Conn didn't start becasue of a suspension, which everyone only knew about once Arizona's game started. Bush league on the NLL for running a pretty unimpressive pool both visually and on the actual running of it and also for keeping info like Conn being suspended off their site. I guess it was kind of fun playing fanatasy lacrosse for the NLL, but I would have rather they waited and made sure things were perfect before launching a sub par system like they did.

tasty...i agree it was not exactly well run...but i will say it was better than nothing...
i will also say i liked it better than lax.com's
it does take time to work out the kinks...i expect next years to be much better..if not...then we can all complain to high hell...for now i will just call it a work in progress (poor one at that)...

yeah, I'll give them some slack for a shoddy first attempt. and although it's getting a bit off topic, I think they really need to start posting injuries and suspensions a lot more regularly, like every other league. it's just posting text, not hard. or do they think people won't show up if their favorite player is out of the lineup? dumb if that's the case, but what else would it be?

I'm in the Finals too, and by my calculations, I will win. I gave the other team the most points he could get, and I still had more. YAY! Does anybody know the prizes? Maybe some money for the shop online?

Won the regular season with 8-2 record, blown out in the semi final.

My opponent got some production from all five players and a positive score from their defense. I stupidly didn't notice the Craig Conn suspension and had a terrible negative performance by the Rock's D against PHI last week.

Oh well, t'was fun and I'll play again next year.

NOOO!!!! i lost in the finals 23-18. why the hell did i have minnesota as my defense??? i would have won if i chose another defense. i outscored all of the opponents with my players but the defense from minnesota sucks ***. another reason for me to hate them with a passion. THEY LOST ME MY FANTASY POOL!!!!!

Won mine against a team that had the Minnesota defence...was that you Canadalax ( Spamalopes) They should have had an overall winner rather than just a leaque winner. It was fun for the weeks that I actually remembered to input my team. 5 and 5 in regular season but turned it on in the playoffs. Yeah what are the prizes.. did I win a trip to Surrey? :lol: :lol: :lol:
