Thanks for inviting me Yanks. I'll gladly join but I'll need some help to start up, as I've never played any fantasy leagues before I know what they're about, I just need some help to figure it out sooner than I would do it on my own.
If you've never done it before, and there is still time, I'd try to squeeze in another draft in a public league just as practice. You might be surprised where certain guys end up going (although the Yahoo rankings have gotten better at being fairly accurate over the years).
Honestly, though, a big start to fantasy success is simply checking your team daily and knowing when players are slumping/making sure you are using your hot hands...
