It's that time of the year, peeps.
Yahoo opened for biz yesterday.
I figured I'd crank up a thread so we can assemble the masses and get a league set up before all of the teams are taken on Yahoo.
Are we going to do a board draft again this year? Yahoo has Live Drafts available and I'd like to vote for that, if possible. But they go fast.
I think a board draft is da best. We already established it. It's impossible for people to go online at a certain time. Anywayz, can't wait for that. I will win the title this season. 8)
PS. I can't be a commisioner for Pick'em this year cause I am busy as hell for a while. :( I hope someone to take my place. I will play the game though. ;)
board draft is the way it goes. it works when people simple follows the rules. I'll set up a league over at Yahoo. As far as who wants in, last years players get first dibs. Any teams left after that are up for grabs from a new person as long as I feel they will be around enough to participate and keep the league strong. ;D
How many people joined last year? I guess it was 16 or so.
I will be administering electric shocks to the people who take 57 hours to pick. ;D
P.S. - I shall rule you all.
count me in as an expansion team if there are open slots
I'll try not to be on an airplane on draft day this year. I'll also try not to draft so many QB's either. ;D
I set up a 16 team league over at Yahoo. I did it quickly without really setting up all the exact points for things like Int's... I can change all that later so its no big deal. Also this year we are all starting 3 WR's for sure. I will send out sign up info etc.

Dude...where am I? I was in it last year. Hardcore I was.

I know you were there. Maybe I had a problem when I cut and copied. That went wrong. Sorry for that. :-[
I did some research (reading through the "CCFFL Final Rosters" thread") and the 16 participants were:
1) Zanshin
2) Mikey (that's ME)
3) Philly_Crew
4) Joneszilla
5) PG
6) Shorebird

Murp, When you say 3 WR's does that mean you have the option to use the run and shoot(i.e 1 RB, 3 WR's) or the normal 2 RB's and 2 WR's? So basically there would be a flex position that could be a RB or WR? That may work well since its almost impossible for everyone to field 2 starting RB's with 16 teams in the league.

Thanks for backing me up. Poor my brain. :boom
This is weird. My IQ is around 190...
Dont worry ill get the sign up info out... im a bit busy at the moment.
and Jones... 2 starting RB's.. 3 starting WR's... for every team. :evil
Dark Angels are back to win this time. No more of this "luck" shtein. I made it to the Super Bowl last year and lost. I am NOT the Bills.

I'm in, I sent the info to you requested MURP.
Maybe this season we can have two 10-12 team leagues vs. one that is too big. Just a suggestion. I have a feeling we'll have more than 20 people wanting to get in.
Also we will be doing the Salary Cap league again, so don't get into too many leagues so that you b!tch out of that one again. Try something new, it's FREE and different than being in 5 leagues that are all basically the same format.

I actually started mine...
That's must be why you didn't gum up the works last year.
lol...hey, you think we'll draft back to back again? Be nice to have someone else steal players I have my eye on. ;)
Hey...I only went by my chart and took the "best availible player" that I had ranked...that's why I ended up taking a WR in round 2 and 3 while everyone else was stock piling RBs. I had Deuce McAllister, TO, and Hines Ward....too bad I got rid of Hines Ward in a trade that didn't quite go my way...
But if you're picking after me, I'm sure to 'steal' some players away from you....muhwahahahaha
lol, mikey...was it you that I fought over Jamel White (or whatever his name was) 2 years (or 3 years) ago?
i sent a bunch of you guys emails (to the addys you either IMed me with or the one you have listed in your profile on here) check your email and join so I can find out how many open spots we have.
I'm in. :yay
haven't checked the board much the last 3 weeks because I went on vacation.
Well...if there are any spots left, i'll get in.
Yeah PG...I think I was somehow involved in that. It was for some late round RB that people kept on over-looking...and he sucked it up that year anyhow...
spots left?? or am i gonna have to start another madd league?
I'm in.
Since there is such a strong interest in the CFFFL this year I am considering changing the settup. This still depends on the overall number of people who want in. The most I can get into a league is 20, which is the highest # Yahoo allows. I may switch the league to an overall points league instead of a head to head battle. Im not fond of the points league, but the shear number of teams in the league would prevent almost half of us from playing one another in the first place. Also i may change it to starting 1QB, 1RB,2WR,1K,1D and one RB/WR. That would curb the severe lack of RB's available who start in the NFL.
Either way, this many teams in the league will require strict draft rules. The draft is on this board and starts at the beggining of August. If you are not able to spend the time dont sign up. its appreciated by all.
When we have the final # of teams signed up i'll let everyone know what the final league settings will be etc.
That wouldn't be my preference...but I'm not much of a boat-rocker. Sounds more lame than previous years. I'd rather just split the league into two if you want to incorporate more teams.
If it really helps, I'll bail since I'm already in the Keeper League. I'm flexible.
I would try to take you all down, but being back at camp will make it impossible to be apart of a board draft.......IMO you should split it up into two leagues (an A league and B league, or just random) for better competition, so guys arent stuck with Freddie Mitchell as a starting WR.

I agree, about the not my preference part, not the Zanshin leaving the league part.
How about this. 16 is too much, going with 20 teams is way too much IMO. And to take the teams from 2 QBs and 2 Rbs to one at each position sucks IMO. Shoot I have to admit that the 3 WR format was sounding fun to me.
Why don't we try and attempt a new format. We set up 2 leagues, almost like a AFC and NFC for CFFFL. You set up 10-12 in each league, then you play the season. Then you have some sort of playoffs for each league, then you take the ultimate winners of each league and have a super bowl, or main championship game of CFFFL. The each season we'll be able to improve the leagues, and make a better format to handle more people, while keeping the CFFFL a fun league (i.e. without stripping it down to 1 RB and 1 QB)
We'd have to come up with a way to do the playoffs, I mean shoot when you are down to one to 4 teams, we could do the scoring on here if we have to, on the CF board using the Yahoo format that we had used all season so that nothing is changed. Maybe just for the champ game.
Having more than one RB, and more than one QB is key to FFLs IMO.
That's my 2 cents, give it some thought.

I bet. If I drafted like you, I'd be worried about the competition, too.
lol, I've had 2 straight good years of drafting, minus two straight years of thee worst 1st round picks in FFL history :boom If my first round picks were FFL studs, then I'd have done fine, as the rest of my 2 drafts were good with scoring and talent, but my 2 first round picks have been complete garbage, which is my fault of course and that has been the difference between me and everyone else.
You can call me the AR of CFFFL first round drafting :-X :paranoid
lol...you'll remember taking Marshall Faulk over Priest Holmes forever. ;)
I'm not in yet as MURP had an old e-mail addy, but I will be soon. I'm ready to give PhillyGirl the bad luck I had in the league and take all the good fortune that got her so far.

We do that in my league at home. 2 leagues of 10-12 teams. Top 3-4 in each league makes the playoffs. Then the winner of each league faces each other. It's sometimes strange b/c the 2 teams in the championship game may share 2-3 of the same players but it adds to the strategy.
16 teams is just plain rough. If any of your players get hurt or is on bye for that matter(especially RB) the chances of having a capable backup on the roster, or picking up anything even half decent on waivers is almost zero. That's why if we go the 16 team route the 1 RB, 2WR, 1 Flex(RB or WR) works best IMO.
Interesting idea NB. Question though. Let's say we have 20 teams. That would be 2 divisions with 10 teams each. Can players be drafted by a team in each division? Say you are in one division and I'm in the other, can we both draft McNabb?

Yeah. Each division is independent of the other. They draft, trade, and play amongst themselves till the division champs meet in the finals.

Yes as it will have no effect on the other league. Until the CFFFLSB game, or whatever :D Then the chances of them having identical teams is pretty far fetched. The chances of the two teams having one or two similar players is very probable, as the one or two players will probably be having monster fantasy football years that helped get those two CF teams to the championship game.
Still, in the championship game it would come down to the rest of their team, their defense, kickers, TEs, other QB, other RB, etc. Especially if we did the 2 RBs 2 QBs and 3 WRs set up in each league, then even if the two teams had one or two players on both teams, there still would be plenty of other offensive players to dual it out in the final game.
Chances are thought that they wouldn't have the same players. But it is something we can all try to put ideas out there and come up with a playoff format for these issues.
We could even vote on it in a poll, I don't know. But having one league with 20 people, 1 QB and 1 RB sounds like a painful experience. :-X
I think we will have enough people wanting to get into it that we could easily fill 2 12 team leagues(even 14 teams isn't bad if it goes that far), which I think would be ideal. 10 team leagues are kind of small, but 16+ is too big.
Quote from: Zanshin on July 08, 2004, 04:03:46 PM
lol...you'll remember taking Marshall Faulk over Priest Holmes forever. ;)
Yeah I know. I didn't know what to do, I thought someone would get one of those guys, so I could get one of the top young guys. Remember I was the one who was "crying" about drafting too early, so that was an early draft pick and at the time there was a LOT of speculation as to Priest Holmes hip, NO ONE knew for sure how that would turn out, as players in the past with the same type of injury had such mixed results on recovery time and recovery at all. :'( :'( Excuses excuses I know, but it is a reasonable excuse, isn't it :boom
If we could get enough for 2 12 team leagues, that would be my preference over a 16 team leauge.
The only problem I see with 2 leagues is it will make a board draft really confusing, for some of us that is. :paranoid

WOuldn't there just be
2 different threads, with 2 completely seperate drafts? Doesn't seem too confusing.
2+2=2
im down with the 2 different leagues. There a couple things that need to be ironed out.
1. We need a commish for the other league. And that commish needs to set up there league in the exact same format, be on here to run a draft, and be able to run their league throughout the season without bailing out. I cant commish two leagues or i'd have two teams in the CFFFL. (duh)
2. How the playoff format would work. We have always used weeks 15/16 (4 teams in playoffs) or weeks 14/15/16 (8 teams in playoffs) because week 17 in the NFL some teams rest their best players. That screws everything up. Yahoo playoffs insist on using week 16 in the playoff format. So the 2 league superbowl (which we would score on here) would have to be week 17. Maybe someone has thoughts on this?
My thoughts are to somehow use 14 and 15 as playoffs.
And then week 16 as the championship game. Again maybe we'd have to do some of the playoff or championship game here on the message board where we'd still use the same rules and scoring, I don't know.
Or if we did the overall scoring vs. the head to head, then we could just throw all the playoff teams in one league into week 15 and the highest score moves on the champ game, and the same for the other league. So if each league had 4 playoff teams, then those 4 would go for the highest score in week 15, and then move on to the champ game, as would the 4 playoff teams competing for that one spot in the other league.
What exactly goes into being a commish, in other words what are the general responsiblities/time commitments to it?
as far as the commish thing... basically the biggest part is the draft on this board is run by the commish. Posting the threads, keeping track of all the players taken, keeping up on people who slow itdown. Then you have to manually enter every team over at yahoo when the draft is over. Decide if a trade goes through and then manually execute the trade itself on yahoo. Most of the work of the commish is before the season starts. After that it should be smooth sailing.. hopefully.
We could score the playoffs on here if need be.
I've already made the league I setup contain no more than 10 teams for now. We need 20 people total to get a nice 2 league setup going.
Do we want to set the limit at 20, maybe 2 12 team leagues? I don't know what everyone wants. I guess we need to get people to commit/sign up somehow and then go from there so we know what we're working with.
Maybe we should start a seperate thread, and have NO comments, or discussions on it, and have is strictly be a sign up/commitment thread for those who want in. Then we could get an easy look at who wants in, how many people we have, organized in one place and go from there. Only a handful of people have committed as of now, maybe some of the people who have played in the past don't want to play, and maybe we just end up with 16 or less and do one league? I don't know.
Jacques.....the Commish.
NB...does this mean we would have to sing the Canadian/French National anthem before the games? :P
I'll be the Second Commish if necessary.

I don't want to do it, only would do it as last resort. :-X
But if I did it, everyone would have to cease from any bathing, brushing of the teeth, or any other crazy American hygiene rituals, along with singing French and French Canadian songs at all events.
I dont care who the 2nd commish is, but it has to be someone who is gonna be a big enough loser (such as myself) to be on here enough to run the damn draft.
I don't have a computer at home, so that takes me out of the running. I only am on here during the day at work. Again I'll do it as a last resort, but considering how often I am without a computer, I'm not the best person to run things.
well do you have a computer at home thawk?
Not to mention that I'm on the west coast so I'm usually on here at different times than others in terms of when everyone is on at work.
I ALWAYS get on later (usually don't mess with CF until atleast after 1pm eastern, usually I come on here around 3-4pm eastern)

Ill get someone else to run the other league... maybe Mussa.
Tomahawk, why don't you go over to Yahoo and set one up. Then we'll figure all that other stuff out later. :paranoid :deion
nah, Thawk doesnt have a computer for sure at home. We'll get someone else to take care of it.
I think one problem we might run into is that a lot of the people never even bother to look in the "Fantasy Football" section of CF, and if they do it probably is once in a while. So it may take awhile if we don't get notice to everyone on the board (such as in the Eagles Talk Section, a locked thread that is there as a notice :paranoid) and figure out how many people we'll have.
THen again, we have all the time in the world before the season starts. :-X
I'll delete my team in MURP's leage and be the Commish in the second division.
MURP, we should make sure I get all the options exactly the same.
Cool with everyone?
as soon as I fill up the first league we can start filling up the 2nd league. Shouldnt be a problem. There are atleast 7 or more who have yet to join.
Well...if there will be a second league...and not the orgy we had last year...then count me in one of those as well.
Remember...I'm lazy as farg when it comes to these things...so always remember to cater to me. :)
So should I set up a second league as Commish, and drop out of MURPs?
Ok Dio your the commish, end of story. I'll IM you the info.

I was thinking about this last night at work while flipping through a FFL magazine...
Since we're setting up 2 different league, will we hold an NFC draft and an AFC draft? If there are plans to have the NFC champ play the AFC champ for the title, what if the two final teams have many of the same players?
Whats da dealio on this thing?
Well, I personally think we should draft separately. There are not enough players to be drafted by 20 people.

I have played in a similar league like this for the last 6 years and have yet to see any two teams match up in the finals with more than 3 of the same players. It will work out in the end. hopefully ;)

Their will be 2 seperate drafts, otherwise we're back to square one where no one has enough RBs, crappy QBs, and WRs like PInkston starting.
Like Jonesz said, the chances that the two teams that meet will have more than a couple of the same players are slim, but if it should happen on the one in a million chance, then we'll work something out.
Either way, the point of this is to accomodate more people into the league, without watering down the teams. So the plan is to have 2 seperate drafts.
yes, two seperate drafts. Dio will be in charge of everything in the AFC draft. I will do the NFC draft. The two leagues are seperate from each other, other than the fact of having a Superbowl against each other.
In future years, maybe we'll be able to have some interleague battles, maybe on the board or something, so that we can mix the leagues up during the season as well. Or maybe we can mix up the leagues in the playoffs.
Such as have the #1 seed from the NFC play the #4 seed in the AFC, and the #2 seed from the AFC play the #3 seed from the NFC, and so on. That is only if we decide to do the playoffs on CF instead on the Yahoo site.
I guess for now they are seperate leagues though. Are we doing H2H or scoring?
head to head.
The playoffs are something that will have to be figured out. In fact, in do time, I will start an entire thread about it so we can get a variety of opinions on the best way to do it. That can wait for the time being. First we need to get 2 more people in the AFC League... then get the draft order down. Dio and myself will set up the leagues the same as to point scoring etc. Once that is all taken care of the drafts can start... at the start of August.
Ok, good stuff. Well if we end up doing the playoffs on the board, that interleague playoff set up is something we could all look into.

Good, now that we got the two leagues filled, everyone can now read stupid magazines and read rediculous articles and "tips" on web sites so that they can go into the draft and make horrendous first round picks. :paranoid

Yeah, i thought i better put that under my name. Not too many current posters were on here when my name was JTrotterFan.
Anyway...are you the AFC? If you are...i will be "Beatin Your Azz"

You're lucky I'm in the cool league (NFC). If your even luckier, I'll meet you in the Super Bowl at which point your luck will run out.
Hahahahaha...and you can count, on me, waiting for you in the parking lot!

I am willing to forgo my draft picks if you guys concede an all Eagles roster for the Muffed Punts.
McNabb
Buck
Westy
TO
Freddie
LJ
Akers
Eagles D
If my demands are not met, I will be forced to beat you all senseless with a conventional roster.
You would end up in last place with that roster, sorry to say.
I think McNabb, Westy, TO, Akers and the Defense would put up enough points to keep a team out of the basement.
But you still can't have that team Reidme. Nice try though. :nyuk
I got McNabb, TO, and Akers for my team in a public league. 8)
this is what i have the settings as in yahoo. If everything is cool then Dio can put them into the AFC league also. BN= Bench player

Looks good to me. One thing....i am assuming that incompletions are -.5 not -5
I'd also change it from Offensive Fumble Return TD (6) to Defensive Fumble Return TD (6) or just add the defensive category if that is possible.
yep, -.5
i will go check and make sure it is corrected on yahoo.
So we are adding D-players to the game...
man...17 rounds....maybe we should start this earlier than August since we had less people and less players to choose in the keeper and that took a while...

Just wanted to make sure you saw this, MURP.
We do need to set some sort of time limit for picks. People NEED to realize the importance of utilizing lists.
Playoffs: Week 14, 15 and 16 (8 teams)
How is the playoffs going to work then? I thought it would be 4 teams per conference. Weeks 14,and 15 to determine conference winners. then week 16 would be the final.
8 teams in playoffs. Week 14 will be a playoff. There will be 4 teams left in playoffs. Week 15 will be a playoff. Then there will be 2 teams left. The team with the better record at that point will be the NFC champion and the team with the better record in the AFC will be the AFC champion and we will score week 16 manually on the board as the superbowl.
So in effect, week 16 on Yahoo doesnt matter at all... even though there will be a championship game played on yahoo. Week 16 will be the Superbowl between the AFC and NFC.

Thawk. An offensive fumble return for a TD would be 6 points. Lets say you have a player on your roster (like a WR) who picks up a fumble and runs it in for a TD. That would be 6 points. There is also a catagory for defensive player that just says Touchdown (6). Your defensive player would get 6 points for scoring a TD in any fashion.
We don't have to start earlier necessarily, because last year we had a draft with 16 teams in it, that took forever. Now we have two seperate drafts with 10 teams, so each draft won't take even as long as last year IMO even though there are extra rounds.
One thought though is that we should do the country/find out what pick you are thing. It would be nice to know a little in advance if I'm picking at the top, middle, or bottom of round one. Just a suggestion for a little strategy it would be nice to know ahead of time.
You'll know ahead of time as the order will be posted before the draft starts.

What would be bad about knowing a week in advance vs. the day before? ;D
So when is the draft going to be?? I leave today at 4:30 PM CST and start a new job on 07/26/04. As this is with a new company, I doubt I'm going (or will be able) to take the liberty to access the internet that I currently do.
Unfortunately, I do not yet have i-net access at home either. :-\ :-[ :-X
Wow you are screwed, you might as well start making up a VERY long list. ;)

Maybe I have been staring at the screen too long but that doesnt make sense to me. Sounds like you saying that 8 teams make it from each conference, then after 2 weeks of playoff games we have 2 left from each conference(4 teams left out of 20). Those 2 teams don't play(they do but it doesn't count).....one is declared a winner based on record and then plays the team that is declared the winner in the other conference in the Super Bowl? ???
exactly Jones. It sucks, but thats the only way to do it because of the way Yahoo sets up the playoff options. The only way to possibly do it and have it make sense is to use 14, 15, 16 on yahoo... and then play week 17 as a Superbowl on the board between the NFC/AFC Champ. Only problem is that NFL teams sometimes sit their stars week 17 before the playoffs.

other than spend all evening and night in an internet cafe... sucka! :-D
Ok i see, it's b/c of the Yahoo settings, i thought you were just crazy or drunk. :D
So if only 4 teams were to make it from each conference.....Yahoo doesn't have a week 14 & 15 playoff option?
We can fix that real easy, in 10 team leagues no way should 8 teams be making the playoffs. I mean you could send in a list, never change your team or lineups and make the playoffs that way.
We should have 4 teams make the playoffs in each league. The first week (week 14) there are 4 teams and 2 matchups in each league, then the second week (week 15) there are 2 teams and one conference championship in each league, then in week 16 when teams in the NFL are still playing at full strength, we have the CFFFL Super Bowl on the board.
8 teams in the playoffs in a 10 team league? :o

If that's true then scratch my last post from the record :paranoid :-X
I wish they did.
The options they give are:
15/16 4 teams
16/17 4 teams
14/15/16 8 teams
15/16/17 8 teams
NB...that is what i was saying too, but apparently the Yahoo settings don't let 4 teams play in the playoffs in weeks 14 & 15.
I just noticed that there is actually the option of selecting NONE. meaning no playoffs on Yahoo. We could just take the person with the best record in the NFC/AFC after week 15 and have them matchup in a superbowl in week 16 on this board. That is an option that sounds half decent.
We could just as easily do the playoffs on the board, we know the teams by then, we know the rules and we could do it on the board starting in week 14 as I said. 4 teams in each league make it then go from there to a week 16 Super Bowl.
Each team would post their starting team, and then score it, and if the opposing team approves of the scoring then it counts, if the opposing team has an objection then they bring it up and the commisioner going by the rules makes the call.
QuoteWow you are screwed, you might as well start making up a VERY long list.
THAWK posted:
Do you think a list of 100 would be enough?
No 100 wouldn't be enough. I'd say you should probably make a list of about 20-30 QBs, 30 RBs, 50 WRs, 20-30 TEs, 20-30 Kickers, and if we are doing defensive players then make a list close to 100 defenders.
Then you just send that list to MURP along with a list of what positions to draft in each round, such as:
Round 1 - RB
2 - QB
3 - RB
4 - WR
5 - WR
6 - RB
7 - QB
8 - Def
9 - TE
10 - WR
11 - K
and so on. ;)
That may sound like way too much work, but it is easy. You just go to one of a million fantasy football sites which already have lists where they rank each position, you copy & paste a list you like, maybe change a few names at the top and waalaa! It might not be pretty but what do you expect from not being able to partake in the draft.
Except that MURP might not like that idea very much. :D
Doing it on the board is an ok idea, as long as the teams in the playoffs do their own farging scores. I want no part of adding that shtein up.
A list of 100? If all guys send that kinda list to one person, how does he operate it? :-\

That was in my plan, each person does their own scoring, and then the opposing team reviews, and either approves or objects according to the league rules set forth from day one and they both look over the scoring according to the rules (which are black and white so you can't exactly cheat here). THen you the commisioner step in if they can't resolve it for some reason (if you are involved in the dispute Dio the other commish can step in or some alternate party) and decide by the rules.
It should all be black and white, by the rules so there is no need to worry about cheating. If a team makes a mistake in their scoring, and the other team approves it and later realizes they got screwed, that is their own fault and their own problem.

No one should send in a long list unless they cannot be apart of the draft. It is a pretty significant disadvantage to just send in a list vs. doing the draft manually round by round. So unless you have circumstances that prevent you from partaking in the draft, that shouldn't be a problem.
Of course throughout the draft people will be sending in little lists when they are going to miss one or 2 rounds, but the 100+ list is in case Thawk misses the entire or most of the full 17 round draft.
That makes sense. ;)

Okay...minus points for incompletions is completely gay when you have receivers like Trash and Stinkston. I don't think that should be a part of the game.
And is the deal with 3 defenses? Do they all play at the same time? Someone explain please!
It's not 3 defenses but 3 defensive players.
And minuses for incomplete passes count towards your QB, just as completitions count. For every dropped pass, there is usually a great catch to balance it out over the course of a season.
Incompletions and completions are only for the QB. Its basically rewarding completion percentage. So for a QB who completes 64% of his passes throughout the season gets rewarded compared to a QB who throws for 55%.

Quote from: mikey418 on July 22, 2004, 11:45:25 AMSo we are adding D-players to the game...
Since we're playing with no Defensive team, how do you actually get points for Kick/Punt Return yardage/TDs?
There is no option for a P/K Returner.
the individual player would get points for that. So if you start a WR that also returns kicks, he gets points for both.
in other words, not a hell of a lot of return scoring is going to be happening
also, I just moved Dante Hall up 75 spots on my list. ;D

That's fine, if you want to start Dante Hall over a real WR because he might return 2-4 kicks for TDs, vs. a real WR who could get 1,000+ yards and 5-10 TDs then go ahead :bash ;)
I know that the incompletion counted twds the QB...and that's what i was saying...when McNabb has garbage to throw to like Trash and Stink, he is the one that has to suffer. We all know how many dropped passes happened throughout the year.
Okay...so we will be drafting individual defensive players? So like i could have Sapp, Kearse and Strahan. I've never played that way. So i'm still kinda cloudy with the situation.
This is how it is put in MURP's post for defense
QuoteD, D, D
I'm not quite sure if that means we can pick all DEs, or all CBs, or whatever we want, or if their is guidelines like one DLineman, one Dback, and one LB or free choice.
MURP, anyone? We can pick any 3 Defensive players we want regardless of position?
yes, any 3 defensive players. doesnt matter what position.
So, how many player do i need for my team? This is not at elementary school mass level.
QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, K, D, D, D, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN

It depends. Linebackers are more likely to get the tackles, but won't get nearly as many interceptions (DBs) or sacks (DE). Just depends on your defensive philosophy for your fantasy football team.
