[KirkyK]

5 wins on the trot, most points in the league and ODB back from his bye :aok: Beginning to really like the look of my team now with 4 excellent RB options as I took a flyer on Buck Allen off the waiver wire last week. Struggling a bit at TE and D though.

TE for one of your embarrassment of riches at RB?

[HibsMax]

Anyone interested in Donte Moncrief? Not proposing any more trades just to get ignored.

[James.]

TE for one of your embarrassment of riches at RB?

No thanks. Had a look at your TEs but think I'll keep the 4 as insurance against injuries down the stretch.

[SmithyHibee]

Ahh crap, would you all mind voting against my trade Chris Ivory for Cutler, accidentally hit the wrong button and accepted it on my phone.

Or is there anyway it can just be cancelled?

That trade has gone through with Ivory, will I offer you the trade back again or drop him for you to claim off waivers? Either way it might not go through before Sunday's game?

Edit : The trade deadline has passed!

[Sylar]

Disastrous start from my 2 starting RBs last night!

Another loss on the rollercoaster year imminent!

You're still predicted to win. I can't see where many points are going to come from on my team either.

Why didn't other people veto the trade? Dropping and picking up is one route. Maybe the league manager can update the settings and change the trade deadline?

I voted against it, but I guess it has to be a majority decision. Think the only way around it would be for both guys to drop the players and claim them off waivers. Would that be done in time for Sunday?

That's the only problem for him Kirky, it probably wouldn't go through before Sunday, doesn't impact me since cutler has already played this week.

In this instance the LM should edit the rosters if possible - maybe not since Cutler has played already. I had to do this in an ESPN league just yesterday but after discussing everything with the other players and getting the thumbs up to do so.

I have no issue with the LM switching these players back.

[James.]

I voted against it too. Must need nine to vote for it in order for it to go through.

[KirkyK]

Cheers to everyone that voted against it.

If the league manager could transfer them back it would be appreciated but if not possible and we have to go waivers then its no bother as the whole thing is my fault in the first place.

And sure enough Eli Manning has 1.32 points part of the way through the 4th quarter. He's done well to get positive points to be honest.....

[SmithyHibee]

Dropped ivory so if nobody can put in a waiver claim for him apart from Kirky then he should get him back. If the same can happen for Cutler then I can pick him up again

In this league, and others, I have Tyler Eifert who might not play. In another league I have Gronk. I managed to pick up Zach Miller for our league, and NFL.com is giving him a projection of 0 points, same as Spencer Ware.

[HibsMax]

Here's what RotoWire had to say about Richard Rodgers before last night's game:
"Three of his four catches came after halftime. Rodgers’ season-high in yards is 45, which gives him a pretty low ceiling. He has a soft matchup against the Lions next week but that’s no reason to start him. At best, he’s a boom-or-bust TE2."

I had a four TEs on my Yahoo roster since Flex includes TE, so I figured I should drop one. Rodgers is who I chose. Yeah, he just put up 24+ points against me in one of my ESPN leagues. This game can be infuriating at times.

I use a bunch of sites and that can also be infuriating (unless you're saying you have found one that is right all the time?). Sometimes the ESPN advice can be mental. They give you a 4 out 5 stars for the matchup rating then in the advice (which they take from other sites) says "...but he is a WR2/WR3 at best". So right there in their own little popup they're delivering conflicting information.

There's just no way you can predict when a player is going to have a blow-up game.

As with all things Patriots, nobody really knows what is going to happen but my hope is that LaFell is in for a big night rather than Chandler.

I have DeMarco Murray in an ESPN league but I'm not playing him tonight even though the Pats gave up a lot on the ground last week. I think the Pats will be prepared for him and the Eagles will hopefully have to abandon the run after the first 1/2 quarter. :)

OK, so nobody had a good night on the Pats side of the ball. I don't know what the deal is between Brady and LaFell but there were 3 (that I recall) instances of where Brady overthrew LaFell. Another one where LaFell let the ball slip through his hands. We had opportunities to make big plays but didn't. Without Gronk, Edelman and Lewis we look very pedestrian.

5 players on my team combined for 11.6 points. Yeah, that's not going to get anyone in the playoffs.

Managed to scrape into the playoffs! Came 8th last season, hopefully not the same playoff campaign as last year!!

Yup, head to head is the tiebreaker.

Respectfully to hibsbollah, I'm pretty happy with the draw for the playoffs as I play the second lowest scoring team in the league. Mind you, the last two weeks he's been 2nd and 3rd top scorer so it isn't an easy game. Respectfully.

I had McFadden going as well. His two fumbles didn't help my cause. Out of 6 leagues I am in the playoffs in 2 of them, and one is no cash so barely counts (I don't know anyone in the league). In my work league, injuries conspired to give me a three game losing streak to end things with, only to miss the playoffs on the tie-breaker.

Sure enough, I picked up replacement Charcandrick West off the waiver wire and went from 2-4 to 9-4. So there's definitely something in having KC's starting RB on your team.

For some reason I woke at 3am last night and went straight on my phone to see how Ajayi was getting on. At half time he had 1.5 points so I expected to wake up this morning to see that I had lost.

Still on track to defend my championship! At least it guarantees an Eagle in the superbowl for the second successive season and 3rd time in 4 seasons, wish the real team could have that sort of success.

Just to continue the documentation of my teams demise....

This week, QB out. Both starting RBs didn't practice, looking iffy. Two WRs didn't practice (one starter). Starting TE did not practice.

I can't pickup players off the waiver wire quick enough to replace the dead! My bench is Out, DNP, DNP, DNP, DNP, and DNP.

I just picked up Brandon Bolden and Christine Michel (?) as FA's, both of whom are likely to start this week.

My team was heavily reliant on 3 players all season: Romo, Gronk and Edelman. I handled losing Romo, Winston and McGown did the job but injuries to Gronk and Edelman just killed me. No way could I replace them.

Just the way it goes! :agree:

[Sylar]

If anyone fancies a punt on him, DaMarco Murray is now available as a FA though he's amassed negligible impact these past 3 weeks!

[James.]

Well done to No Romo too. Thoroughly skelped this week despite scoring over a hundred. Rather that than a close one to be honest as there's no ifs and buts.

Been a good season for my team. Most points, regular season championship and an 8 game win streak isn't too shabby :aok: Good luck to the two finalists!

[HibsMax]

I'm in the playoffs in my most expensive league (so that's good I guess) and I'm up by 30 points with Willie Snead still to play. My opponent has Drew Brees and Hightower. This league also has crazy scoring settings like 1/2 point per completion, 1 point per reception, 6 points for a passing TD, etc. so I'm concerned. Should be close. If Brees does throw 3 TDs I hope they all go to Snead. :)

Sorry guys, I had a meeting overrun....

With the first pick of the 2016 Hibs.net Fantasy Draft the Loch Ness Monsters select Le'Veon Bell, RB, PIT.

[KirkyK]

Apologies for the delay folks, the 2nd overall pick in the 2016 Hibs.net Marathon draft is Antonio Brown WR Pittsburgh Steelers

[James.]

With the third pick the Islanders select Todd Gurley, RB, Los Angeles Rams

[hibsbollah]

Celek few now...

[Haymaker]

Erm...

[Sylar]

12 hour pick not in effect yet Hay, but it would be good if Celek could hurry the **** up! :greengrin

[Gatecrasher]

I agree!

[SmithyHibee]

Can see me ending up having to make a drunken pick here

[Haymaker]

Can see me ending up having to make a drunken pick here

I was worried about that last night, was blitzed quite early. Luckily my phone has Tebow saved in my auto correct :greengrin

[Sylar]

Well, apologies in advance - I'm at The Open tomorrow and won't be on here, so it'll be Monday before I'm able to make my pick!

[Gatecrasher]

This has started well :hilarious

[Haymaker]

Isn't there a 12 hour rule? I'm not being a dick but I emigrate on Thursday morning and I will most likely miss a pick but I can and will accept that yet I was hoping to be a few rounds in by then.

[Sylar]

I think 24 hours was probably sufficient - someone did miss their first round pick last year!

[Sergio sledge]

Does anyone have any way of contacting Lugz (I think it is him?) Outside Hibs.net? He may be on holiday and not know the draft is on.

[SmithyHibee]

Am I on the clock yet?

[James.]

He's been on the forum today by the looks of it. Think Gatecrasher has given fair warning that the draft was starting. Can we proceed on?

[lugz]

Holy **** guys I'm so sorry. completely forgot!!

[lugz]

the Celek few select Odell Beckham. I'll be a lot quicker in future!!

[SmithyHibee]

Edinburgh Giants take Julio Jones

[Sylar]

Adrian Peterson, RB, Vikings

[Haymaker]

Robert 'The Gronk' Gronkowski, TE, New England Patriots.

[Sylar]

Robert 'The Gronk' Gronkowski, TE, New England Patriots.

I thought long and hard about taking him just to annoy you :greengrin

[Haymaker]

I thought long and hard about taking him just to annoy you :greengrin

I was 99% sure you would!!

[hibsbollah]

Ezekiel Elliott RB Dallas.

[hibsbollah]

Byrds and the brees next...

[DarrenSQH]

Dez Bryant. WR Cowboys

[Gatecrasher]

Aaron Rodgers!

[DH1875]

On the phone, is it my shot or am I the one after?

[Haymaker]

On the phone, is it my shot or am I the one after?

Boston Up

[DH1875]

Boston Up

That is me ;) Not even through the first round and I'm already confused. Actually struggling to remember who is who by just going with the team names.

Anyhow I'm going Doug Martin RB.

[lugz]

is it a snake draft or does it go back to the start after round 1?

[Haymaker]

is it a snake draft or does it go back to the start after round 1?

Always snaked before, not sure why we would change.

[Gatecrasher]

is it a snake draft or does it go back to the start after round 1?

:agree: snake, Reverse order every other round

[lugz]

Always snaked before, not sure why we would change.

couldn't remember to be honest. Seems to be an ongoing theme for me the now haha

[NOLA]

Ragin Cajuns select AJ Green WR Bengals

[H18sry]

Guys l am off to support the Hibs in Denmark in the morning so chances are l will default on my 2 picks, l do not want to mess up the draft but not sure what l can do.

[lugz]

Guys l am off to support the Hibs in Denmark in the morning so chances are l will default on my 2 picks, l do not want to mess up the draft but not sure what l can do.

pass someone 10 picks or so in the order you want or I'm sure we can wait since you have a valid reason!

[DH1875]

Guys l am off to support the Hibs in Denmark in the morning so chances are l will default on my 2 picks, l do not want to mess up the draft but not sure what l can do.

Leave a list of 5 names and in what order you'd pick them with someone and they'll be able to pick for you :aok:

[H18sry]

Leave a list of 5 names and in what order you'd pick them with someone and they'll be able to pick for you :aok:

Have sent you a list if that is ok

[NOLA]

i hope the list included Tebow Sanchez Manziel Goff and Wentz :wink:

[Sylar]

Why the **** would you do something stupid like that?! This is draft season man, where are your priorities :greengrin

Have a blast R :flag:

[Haymaker]

We waiting on Max?

[SmithyHibee]

Did someone not suggest a whatsapp group before? That would be useful to notify folk if they don't know it's their pick?

[brythehibby]

Looks like Max's last activity was over a week ago on here. Anyone have his e-mail or whatsapp etc to contact him?

I'm away to Copenhagen tomorrow morning and hoping to get my 2 picks in before then but if not can i ping a few selections to someone to pick for me?

[Calvin]

I'm in Copenhagen too and will probably be in no state to pick later (craft beer heaven here) but will give it a shot if I can get some wifi.

However there seem to be a fair few away - what's the commish's verdict on a draft hiatus til Friday night? Not a promising start, I know - but it might make sense?

Max is based in the states so hopefully he's just been in his kip and will be along soon.

[Sylar]

Worst start to any of our drafts so far alas. Need to speed up, or we won't be ready by the start of the season.

[lugz]

Worst start to any of our drafts so far alas. Need to speed up, or we won't be ready by the start of the season.

With Max not being on for over a week now, there's every chance he's away on holiday and who knows when he'll next be on.

[DH1875]

Worst start to any of our drafts so far alas. Need to speed up, or we won't be ready by the start of the season.

Could get worse if we beat Brondby tonight.

[hibsbollah]

I always said a live draft was best...

:greengrin

[Sylar]

Do we have the option to reset this and try a live draft? At least then, if people are going to be away, they can set an auto-pick function and then trade like hell!

[James.]

A real shame as I know lots of people (myself included) like drafting offline. Pity not everyone is with the programme this year :rolleyes:

[Gatecrasher]

A real shame as I know lots of people (myself included) like drafting offline. Pity not everyone is with the programme this year :rolleyes:

Yeah this is frustrating, we are a week into the draft and not even out the first round yet. Well need to do something to speed this up.

[Calvin]

I'm back from Copenhagen! Is the problem just that Max isn't about so it's hit a wall already?

[DH1875]

I'm back from Copenhagen! Is the problem just that Max isn't about so it's hit a wall already?

When was max last online and when did gatey send out the email? If it was after the last time max was on then there's nothing we can do except wait as Max might not even know we started. Know that I didn't know we'd started when we did cause I was on my holidays.

[lugz]

I'm back from Copenhagen! Is the problem just that Max isn't about so it's hit a wall already?

he's all we're waiting on the now, I may have caused a problem to start haha.

[Gatecrasher]

Give max until Sunday 1800 when the games normally begin to make his pick then move on IMO. We need to move this along. The 12 hour limit will also kick in from this point if max doesn't pick. If he does then the time limit will start at the original point.

[lugz]

Does anyone know max surname? Bit of a long shot but just found a guy on twitter with the user name @HibsMax who stays in america. Sent him a post asking if it's him but his twitter isn't too active, worth a shot.

[DH1875]

Rather than just moving on, if he's not on by 1800 Sunday give him the highest placed player not picked yet and then move on.

[Sergio sledge]

I'd be happy to start again... http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/17124034/pittsburgh-steelers-rb-leveon-bell-facing-four-game-ban-missed-drug-test :greengrin

Seriously, I agree with DH, give max the next highest ranked player not yet picked as it would be pretty unfair if he's on holiday and doesn't even know it has started.

[brythehibby]

Seems Max was last online after Gates sent out the draft order and draft start time round. The same day in fact. But perhaps he didn't see it?

[hibsbollah]

Right, so we're agreed give Max the next available highest player at 6pm and move onto Bry? David Johnson RB Arizona is rated by FOX sports 5th overall best and is next one up and is a bit of a steal for AWOL Max. We really need to all check online regularly and speed this thing up!

[DarrenSQH]

I just checked this. Was sure after Copenhagen that I would have missed a pick or two.

I'm only starting to get back to normal today.

[hibsbollah]

So at 6pm let's try to get online and speed it up, so it'll go Dolphins, Stokeys 12, Finsagogo, Finsagogo, Stokeys 12, Dolphins. And then hopefully Max will have surfaced :greengrin

[lugz]

it's pretty obvious that Max won't surface before he's back on the clock (especially if everyone else is on the ball) do we give him the standard 12 hours and autopick for him?

If so will that become the norm for people missing picks?

[brythehibby]

Right I'll take DeAndre Hopkins if we are moving things along

[hibsbollah]

Is Calvin Stokey 12s?

[Gatecrasher]

Who did max get assigned? The 12 hour limit is now in force.

[H18sry]

Is there a spreadsheet for the draft drawn up yet?

[hibsbollah]

Who did max get assigned? The 12 hour limit is now in force.

David Johnson RB Arizona.

[lugz]

Who did max get assigned? The 12 hour limit is now in force.

so Calvin has till 7am? Do missed picks get done at the end of the round?

[DH1875]

so Calvin has till 7am? Do missed picks get done at the end of the round?

Don't think so, think it's the end of the draft.

[Gatecrasher]

For the first round a person who missed a pick will be assigned as per what happened to max from the 2nd round onwards the pick goes to the end of the draft. I know that sounds harsh but we have to start moving things on a bit.

Seems fair enough. We've always drafted at this time of year and you have given plenty of notice so doubt there can be any complaints. Lets get rolling with this draft. Incidentally, if Gurley had been gone then I was for taking Johnson so think Max has got himself a very decent player.

[Sergio sledge]

I've made a spreadsheet up using Max's sheet from last year and added the picks so far.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YHnttQLgYSwyZwluOvUrdReSl5hUtyxZv1P1iFuunD4/edit?usp=sharing

Hopefully everyone can access that and add their picks to it.

Calvin hasn't picked yet so should we just assign him the next highest ranked player? Using the FOX Sports rankings mentioned for Max's pick, that would be Davonta Freeman I think. I've added that to the spreadsheet.

Finsagogo up next with two picks.

[DH1875]

So has Calvin had his pick done for him then?

I know who Ronnie's 2 picks are gonna be but will just leave him to do it as we'd be back waiting on Calvin. Take it once Ronnie makes his picks we are going with the 12 hour limit and if you miss your pick you gotta wait until the end of the draft to do it.

[Sylar]

Haymaker asked if he could send me his next picks but hasn't ever followed up with a list, though I notice he's been active in the .net chat, so possibly he's keeping tabs on it.

Either way, this really needs to get going! If I'm not at second pick by Friday, I'll maybe give it a miss this year.

[Haymaker]

I'm here, got me 4g on my phone.

Friday, with 11 picks to go until we're back with you, no chance.



If Ronnie isnt on by 10pm tonight should I just make his picks?

[DH1875]

I'm here, got me 4g on my phone.


Where you living?

[Haymaker]

Where you living?

Morristown, New Jersey

[DH1875]

Morristown, New Jersey


30 mins from Metlife. A season ticket for the Jets it is then :thumbsup:.

[hibsbollah]

This really isn't happening, is it? Shame if so, always had a good laugh with it in the past :dunno:

[Haymaker]

30 mins from Metlife. A season ticket for the Jets it is then :thumbsup:.

Behave DH :greengrin

[lugz]

Hopefully once everyone is back from wherever they are we can all make a conscious effort to get this done. Not hard to check in the morning before work/on lunch/ in the evening.

[DH1875]

Dunno what's going on but I was having problems posting on this thread last night so maybe it explains something.

Ronnie's 2 picks are Jordy Nelson and Eddy Lacy. Tried posting last night but like I said it wouldn't let me.

[H18sry]

l concur Jordy Nelson and Eddy Lacy are my picks

[Sergio sledge]

Calvin (Highbury 12s) has until 7.35pm to make his next pick or it goes to the end of the draft.

[brythehibby]

What's the story then guys? Who's been assigned who? Am I back on the clock? Ready to go once I know who was assigned to the guys that missed there picks.

[KirkyK]

Yup you're up, was David Johnson to Max and Davonta Freeman to Calvin in the first round, calvins second round pick goes to the end of the draft as his times passed.

[brythehibby]

Ok I'll take Jamaal Charles. Back to Max but I don't think he's been back on yet.

[hibsbollah]

This is ridiculous.

[Gatecrasher]

This is ridiculous.

I'll give this a few more days to see if it picks up if not I'll be seeing whose interested in a live draft and try and get some sort of season going.

[hibsbollah]

I'll give this a few more days to see if it picks up if not I'll be seeing whose interested in a live draft and try and get some sort of season going.

It's not your fault at all :aok:
I'd go for a live draft

[DH1875]

This is ridiculous.

Max has until after 9 tomorrow. Either way after that we should get a good run going.

[SmithyHibee]

I'd definitely clear the time for a live draft, this is painful already and it's only just into the second round

[DH1875]

I think if we are gonna call a halt to proceedings that we should do it sooner rather than later.

[Sergio sledge]

Nola is up, Max's pick goes to the end of the draft.

I'm happy to try and free up some time for a live draft if this gets canned.

[NOLA]

Ragin Cajuns select... Lamar Miller RB Houston Oilers

[Sergio sledge]

DH1875 is on the clock!

[Sylar]

I know this is getting really frustrating, but I do find myself hoping all is OK with Max. It's not like him to be offline for quite such a long time.

[Haymaker]

Can we have an update of who has been picked? On my phone so just needs to be a list of names so I can tick them off my list. Cheers

[Sergio sledge]

Its not in order, but I think this is correct:

Picked so far:
Le'Veon Bell
Antonio Brown
Todd Gurley
Odell Beckham
Julio Jones
Adrian Peterson
Aaron Rodgers
Ezekiel Elliot
Rob Gronkowski
Dez Bryant
Doug Martin
Lamaar Miller
AJ Green
David Johnson
Jamaal Charles
DeAndre Hopkins
Davonta Freeman
Eddie Lacy
Jordy Nelson

[DH1875]

I know this is getting really frustrating, but I do find myself hoping all is OK with Max. It's not like him to be offline for quite such a long time.


Agree :agree:.

I'm picking Saints RB Mark Ingram. Gutted Jamaal Charles didn't fall to me.

[Sylar]

Haymaker up next.

[Sergio sledge]

Haymaker up next.

Is it not Gatecrasher?

[Sylar]

Is it not Gatecrasher?

Sorry, my mistake! :greengrin

[Sergio sledge]

Sorry, my mistake! :greengrin

Things are going bad enough already without people taking picks out of turn... :greengrin

[Haymaker]

Cheers Sergio, been busy since the move so missed one or two off the list.

[Gatecrasher]

I'll go for Amari Cooper

[Sergio sledge]

DarrenSQH is on the clock!
Hibsbollah after him, then Haymaker.

3 Picks so far today, record pace! :greengrin

[James.]

Nice to see the pace picking up a little bit :aok:

I'm off on holiday next Tuesday but will try and make sure I check in. Hopefully I'll have made my second pick by then!

[lugz]

are we on to Bollahs pick now?

[DH1875]

So Darren misses his turn now as well? Strange one given he was on here last night.


Think we need to decide by the weekend if we are sticking with this or pulling the plug and going to a live draft.

[hibsbollah]

Keenan Allen WR San Diego

[DarrenSQH]

Sorry about the lateness. Le Sean Mccoy Buffalo

Edit, bollah just beat my by 2 mins. I wasn't expecting my turn last night so went to sleep without checking.

I say let him keep shady and move on.

[Sylar]

I say let him keep shady and move on.

As someone who was hoping he'd fall to me, I disagree, but in the interests of keeping pace going, I'm not going to whinge too much (unless, of course, he ends up putting up 30 points against me when I need to play Darren, then I'll piss and whinge like a toddler :greengrin).

Sylar on the clock

[Sylar]

Allen Robinson, WR, Jaguars.

[Sergio sledge]

Smithy, then Luqz, then Ayrshire, then KirkyK.

[lugz]

I'm out for the wifes 30th tonight, she's gonna be pleased at my constant checking of the phone haha.

[hibsbollah]

Smithy missed his twelve hours now.

I vote we can this, work out how many of the original 16 are still interested and get a replacement or two (Pretty Boy likes his NFL iirc?), and arrange a live draft ASAP.

[SmithyHibee]

Aye apologies guys was out after work last night. Would be interested in a live draft if it came to it though.

[Sylar]

Smithy missed his twelve hours now.

I love a live draft. Get a time set up one night when we can all be free and go for it. Im defo in.

[Gatecrasher]

If there's enough appetite for this and everyones happy I wont mind arranging this. The draft so far has been going for to slow. an agreed time is the hard part though.

[Sergio sledge]

Happy to go to live draft, this has been a bit of an anti-climax so far. Probably best to do it after 8pm at night for me as the kids are in bed by then!

[lugz]

so is it sacked at the moment?

Just incase it's still going I pick Rawls RB Seahawks:greengrin

also I'm happy with live draft

[Haymaker]

Happy to go to live draft, this has been a bit of an anti-climax so far. Probably best to do it after 8pm at night for me as the kids are in bed by then!

Will need to be so Max and I can definitely do it, we're 5 behind
