Fantasy Football is best with people you know

I've found this to be true over the past couple of years, and this is it: Fantasy football is supposed to be played with people you know. Playing against total strangers is just... blah. When you play in a league that is full of friends/family, there's a competitiveness and fun aspect to it that is just not present in a league where you don't know the other people. I've been in a league with a group of friends for years now, and that has always been the league I've put the most time and effort into, the one that takes precedence over the other leagues I've been in where I didn't know any of the other people. Other than that league, my fiancee' and I are in another league, but no one is communicating or talking in that league, and it seems so impersonal, like we're just playing against robots or something.

When you are in a league with friends/co-workers/family, there's just a whole different dynamic to it than just playing against random people. What do y'all think?
