I won't lie, I am very excited about the upcoming FF season. Here's what I've got going on, and why I think it's going to be a better year than the last one.

FF is all about your intel, making better decisions before your peers. This is especially important before the draft. When draft day comes, I like knowing that I've got my huddle cheat sheet built around their knowledge and my league rules.
I don't know about you all, but I play like 3 or 4 leagues a season. Each league has different co-workers and buddies, and each draft is slightly different, and nobody scores the same. Huddle will let you customize a cheat sheet with each league's rules.
Making sure I can make each draft.
I used to just schedule my drafts, but this year, I'm reminding Carrie about them. Making your draft is the number one thing you can do to make sure you aren't dead last in your league. A bad draft is really hard to recover from. I'm in one 10 player league with a very deep bench, and it's tough to make it up with rookies and injuries alone during the season.
Also, showing up early doesn't hurt. It once took me 35 minutes to get into a draft, and I got there in the 8th round. Needless to say, the bot made some really bad picks (a defense in the 3rd round, and back-to-back horrible tight end picks). Geez Louise.
Making sure I customize my picks each draft.
Most of my games this year are through a system that rhymes with atchoo. I'm demoting those who have disappointed me in the past, and banning those with known injuries. If a build robot is going to try to 'help' me pick, it had better not be able to make the worst possible mistakes.
Emergency picks via smart phone.
Cpu will be so happy to hear that on some days, I will be monopolizing her Android phone on the weekends. Let's hope I don't need to. But I've also got the netbook just in case.
HUGE WIDESCREEN LCD TV!
ZOMG best birthday fathersday gift ever. <3<3<3
Now, I just have to avoid rookie mistakes and trust my FF studs to do the right thing. And avoid stupid Porter, Brady, and any over-the-hill ex-studs. And not play like a GB fanboy. Aaron Rogers is pretty high on the list! And make all my lineups.
