Van Nuys Identity Thieves (Zach)

Lackawanna County Identity Thieves

1. Zach Engen from SE South Dakota

2. Been engulfed in the FF world for 10 years now (29 y/o) so far my favorite memory (actually 2) was joining into an existing 10 team Keeper League, 3 years ago, that consisted of a bunch of guys that had previously worked together for years, and taking 2nd place year one, then winning back to back the last 2 years, along with having Mixon last season when he set a Top 10 Fantasy score record (I’m a Bengals and OU fan!)

I also enjoy having our longer standing leagues draft nights in person with the guys having a few drinks and actually utilizing a draft board, helps psych ya up for the season!

Previous to that keeper league I had exclusively participated in redraft leagues up until that point, and I started in a couple different Dynasty leagues these last couple years, last year unfortunately the 2 I had the Commish got frustrated with his performance and deleted the league, so started fresh in a couple more this off season that include IDP, Superflex, & TE premium. All dynasty league are on Sleeper, and the Keeper league is ESPN


3. I’m interested in Roster Wars for the competitiveness, insights,  and endless pool of overall knowledge to help amongst my other leagues also! Interest wise, I actually came across a post by Tyler Coney in a Fantasy Football Advice group on Facebook and what he was portraying with the community and league/community sounded exactly like what I had been looking for as far as, advice, insights, and overall scouting aspects going into this offseason!

4. I spend significant amounts of my free time reading up on all possible trade rumors, draft stocks, team needs, and overall just trying to figure out if I can decipher who those sleeper picks across the board (current league FA’s and Rookies)
In all I’d say it’s no less than 25-30 hours minimum!

5. Splurged on #2 and answered it amongst that one, my apologies!

6. I would think in the keeper league, the guys would wish me a little misfortune in the upcoming season in hopes of someone else taking back the Championship Trophy :D but besides that I honestly think most would have decent things to say, in regards to just my ability to conjure up winning teams, work out trades, mediate issues in leagues that I have commished, and as per the by laws, not be snotty jerk even if I’m just in here to hang out

7. I guess just maybe a little more about me personally

I grew up a farm kid, absolutely LOVED every extra curricular activity I could join in school just to get a little more time away from the seclusion that came with farm life. Had a chance at a football scholarship after HS but chose to join the Army, and became an MP instead, and spent 7 years in the Guards here in SD. Since getting out I’ve lived in Texas, Oklahoma, and Hawaii, following a different girl each time :D But currently am engaged with a 4 y/o an a 10 month old, and I work as an Aflac rep!

8. I am definitely joining in hopes of becoming an owner at some point, and working my way up in both leagues!

Hope to meet plenty of awesome people here in the community!!

Thank you!

Welcome, Zach!

Welcome, Zach! Stick around, make sure you read the bylaws, and jump in any thread you want to chat with us and begin getting to know us so we can get to know you too. This place is the best fantasy league on earth. Stick with us, and we’ll prove it to you.

Working at Aflac sounds cool. I assume you probably see Nick Saban and Coach Prime around the office a bunch.

Welcome Zach, any questions at all feel free to reach out. Feel free to look around too :)

Hey Zach, Welcome aboard!  I was born and raised on a dairy farm and know all about playing sports just to get away from having to milk cows once in a while.     You won't regret finding this place.  It's a blast.

Welcome Zach !

Jump in and enjoy the threads and acquaint yourself with the bylaws and then read them again.
Its the RW bible ! As Shack said this is the best fantasy league on earth and we have members from all over....

One of the onboarding team will make contact with you shortly but in the meantime have fun and make yourself at home..

Welcome Zach.

Glad you found us Zach. Jump in a look around!

Welcome Zach! BUT..............Mayhem is taken! hahaha

Welcome!

Welcome!

Hey Zach! Welcome to the party.

Welcome to the freak show Zach, you sound like you belong!

Andy (Minnesota Eternals) our President is in Florida on vacation, but he will get you all set up when he returns! 

Until then, get involved in the forum so we can get to know you and as several have said, read the bylaws and come with questions.

Looking forward to getting to know you!

Welcome aboard Zach! Jump on in and make yourself at home. It is also probably best to send Carla an apology gift of some kind for trying to steal her team name.

Welcome to Roster Wars Zach, the best FF league and family in the world. Looking forward to getting to know you!

Nice to meet you Zach, it will be nice to not be the youngest anymore

Welcome, sir!

Welcome Zach

Welcome aboard Zach! The league needed more Mayhem and difefnitely needed some Midwest representation.

Welcome Zach. This is my 2nd year and I can honestly say its without doubt the best league bunch of owners out there. Dive into the ByLaws and enjoy the forum.

Welcome! As Carla said, the team name Mayhem is already taken, so think on another one. And if possible, edit your thread name to be "Location Team Name (Zach)"

Someone from the onboarding team should be reaching out via email soon.

Midwest Mania, Midwest Machetes, Midwest Mailmen, Midwest Milkmen and Midwest Mungmasters are all available if you're interested.

Actually, hold off on the Milkmen. I might pocket that for later use.

Welcome Zach! Dive into the forum and find some interesting topics! It's a great community here!

Welcome man glad to have you. As others have already said jump in while the water is warm.

Be careful around warm water from a guy with Wet Spot on his profile

That's a good name

I like the Identity Thieves, but I also like the "Dead Milkmen".

Yah, just Binge watched it all 2 weeks ago

Hey Thieves.....I see you play on Sleeper.  I am not a fan of the site, but did join one league last year so I could get a few for it given so many play on it.

It looks like you have not played on MFL before?    I will be curious if you earn and want a team here how you end up feeling about MFL.   All my friends started on MFL and flipped to sleeper or didnt flip to sleeper. You will be my first to know that started Sleeper and tried MFL.

Welcome Zach. I was an owner of this league some many years, left for a couple years, and now I am back. Just finished the Interrogation process. My best advice is to join for the community. The actual fantasy league has the best format around and is awesome, but the relationships you will build will make this well worthwhile.

I have searched and searched, in and out of about every individual forum topic I could find.

I did find a roles/committee thread, but nothing that stated if there were and absences, or needs to fill any certain vacant spots, or if anyone was looking for help with current roles that may be getting a little much to handle?

I like the new name Zach but damn that's a mouth full lol

That is a good name. He could have so much fun picking his coaches on his banner.

Welcome Zach!

Read the By-Laws, share a good movie you like, talk about you favorite team, debate a trade. It's all there on the Forum.

Welcome Zach!

welcome zach, hope you settle in. and enjoy this place as much as we all do.

dont hesitate to look around and dive into all the threads. and remember to take your time through those bylaws.

Welcome to RW Zach!

You'll love it here. You really will.

Merged this with your thread. You can ask any questions like that here. 

When it comes to roles/responsibilities, we can address that when/if you pass through interrogation, etc. Great that you are getting in everywhere and willing to help, that is a great sign!

You will need to deal with him first. He will be back next week.
