Help! First time joining a Football Fantasy competition in 10 years. I'm flooded with TMI.

Asking for simple cheat sheet. After going through a flood of sites and bullshit and bullshit and more bullshit on top of the bullshit, can someone please have mercy on my pathetic worthless sole and provide a cheat sheet of some kind or direct me to one simple cheat sheet whether it be personal or another website I don't care. I'm just too lazy to get all caught up with a bunch of confusing info. It's been ten years and I got suckered into doing this.

I have mixed feelings since I know how the season will go in the fact I'm mainly a situational bettor where I'll bet on one team one week and bet against them the next. Fantasy football creates mixed feelings. But I'm in it and can't pull out of it now.

I know the smart minds here at the Rx gambling world can help me. It's not always best to go after the 'most popular' athlete that headlines Sportscenter every other night. It also takes the know how of knowing the best coming of age athletes who were perhaps rookies last year but are ready to become the next phenom this year.

Please help. Tired of looking at TMI.

Let me know how many teams are in your league and what draft pick you have, and also if it is a snake-style draft (i.e. the person w/ the last pick of the 1st round gets the first pick of the 2nd round, etc.). Also let me know the scoring system. I'll make a little cheat sheet for you of who to look at with each pick for the first 10 rounds or so.

We are having 12 teams. I'm going to find out more detail this coming week. Thanks for your help! I'm not all that into winning this whole thing but just wanna have fun and be a little bit with some "edge" info going into it. Football's my life but Fantasy Football is just a different animal to me. Was in it ten years ago and had some fun with it but it wasn't for money at the time. I think this time it's a $300 buy in and that may not seem like a whole lot anymore but were all in it to have some fun. It's just a bunch of guys at work that do it year to year and I always got asked and I was always like "Naaa" but this year I caved. I have a bit of regretful feeling about all this but as long I'm armed with some info to help me go in this with the "I have a bit of the inside track" brazen attitude come draft night instead of going there with a freakin blindfold on I'll be happy at that.

Thanks dude. I'll probably PM you with more info when I get it. Thanks for responding. If I should win this whole ordeal I'll send ya a cut of the winnings! That's my word!

More detail to follow......

Haha sounds good. 12 team league is my specialty, that's my main league I've done for the last 10 years. You need to talk to the commish... some semi/non-competitive leagues do a random draft order 30 minutes before the draft. In other words, it wastes any preparation you've done because you have no idea what pick you're going to be. If this is your league setting, try to convince the commish to do a draft lottery drawing out of a hat in the near future so everyone knows what pick they have. Also let me know the scoring system because it can affect your draft strategy. Just PM me or keep posting in this thread. I'll try to check it every 2-3 days.
