OFFICIAL FD DAILY FANTASY BASKETBALL 2013-14 Season
Posted: Mon Sep 16, 2013 4:53 am
There's a lot of season long fantasy threads popping up right now, so I thought I'd open up a daily league thread for anyone interested in joining.
Daily leagues are basically the full season experience of fantasy sports in one day. I have been playing this for a few years and it is pretty fun, especially for the people that get out of the running for the playoffs in their seson long leagues.
This is basically how it works (pretty straight forward):
1). Basically, NBA players are assigned their respective position and a monetary value (examples below). The more a player produces, the higher their value.
Examples: PG Chris Paul = $9,000, SG Kobe Bryant = $9,600, SF Lebron James = $9,900, PF LaMarcus Aldridge = $9,200, C Dwight Howard = $9,000
2). Next, a salary cap set.
Example: $60,000
3). Then, you have to fill nine roster spots with only players that have a game that day (2 x Point Guards, 2 x Shooting Guards, 2 x Small Forwards, 2 x Power Forwards, 1 x Center)
Example of a team:
PG Damian Lillard ($6,600)
PG George Hill ($5,000)
SG Kobe Bryant ($9,000)
SG Kevin Martin ($5,300)
SF Lebron James ($9,900)
SF Andre Iguodala ($6,000)
PF Carl Landry ($4,400)
PF Kevin Garnett ($7,200)
C Andre Drummond ($4,800)
My grand total is $58,200, which is perfect because I stay within the $60,000 salary cap, and I have $1,800 to spare.
4). Finally, you play your team against teams assembled by other people via public or private games (vs. realgm members). The winner of the league is the individual that scores the most fantasy points and the winner can be awarded money or just bragging rights.
