Not seen him post in a long time


Darren or Andy (think that's Ayrshires name, cannae remember lol).

Checked his page and apparently he was logged in this morning. Darren was on yesterday so they are both kicking about.

Don't think so. The guys were looking for one more for a 14 team league as of last night.

So, does anyone know if its possible to run 2 leagues of 8 and then have the winners be able to play each other?

Would this be 2 separate drafts or just 2 conferences? 16 is getting very deep.

[DH1875]

Would think 2 separate drafts if possible. 16 teams would be to much but if there is a way to do 8 and 8 then have the winners play each other, I think would be ideal. Know the two leagues are easily doable but I don't know if it would be possible to have the winners play each other. Just an idea and would make it more interesting (and a lot easier) in my opinion.

[hibsbollah]

Let Gatey decide. a)Have a 14 team league which is now closed. Less hassle all round although some dont like the bigger leagues and would prefer ten teams or less, draft takes ages though.
b)have two leagues of 8. bit of a hassle getting two extra players and working out whether we can even do it and have a final, but probably ideal if its possible.

If we're going to have a 14 team draft everyones going to have to be on the ball and try to be online as much as possible for a few days.

How many people want to play now? LOL

I think we are at the point if we have 16 players we would be better off doing 2 leagues of 8 and draw random names for each league?

It was 12, latecomers Calvin and Ayrshire makes 14. I sympathise trying to keep tabs on it.

[Sylar]

Are we going to go with guesses on the attendance at our game against Montrose on July 15th?

[Willis1875]

What about Stevensons testimonial next Sunday for guess the attendance?

I'm fine with whatever. We all know I'm drafting Tebow first round anyway.

[KinchHibee]

Sorry for the late late late post but if you guys are aiming for 16 (2x8 leagues) I'll put myself forward as the 15th player.

Don't worry if you're just sticking with 14 though as I can appreciate the time, effort and bother it can cause (reading this thread back has been fun :greengrin ). Also this would be my first time trying a fantasy league so I understand if you guys don't have time for a rook!

We've always got time for rookies...

So long as you know not to draft Tebow

[hibernianyank]

Yep, his last game brought in 8,000 fans! Last time I checked he was 5 for 9 with 1 HR with St. Lucie

I've just had a look at a couple of mock drafts...Cardinals' David Johnson at #1? I'm not sure I've even seen him play although obviously he gets a lot of carries. And there's a bears RB at #8ive never heard of... Howard? I need to do some research.

[Gatecrasher]

I'm kind of tempted to go with 2 leagues of 8 at the moment, I know its nor ideal but 2 good leagues would be better than one stagnant one IMO.

People always overpay for RBs, but now that the 0 RB strategy seems to have gone out of fashion, the picks are getting ridiculous.

[hibsbollah]

There is no way I'd pick someone like Johnson #1 just because it's the fantasy fashion to pick rbs first. Beast Mode maybe.

[SmithyHibee]

Went down with an injury last season too, think it was his knee. He does put up ridiculous numbers though through carries and receptions, I'd consider drafting him in the top 3 definitely, especially if it's 8 team leagues.

I'd consider taking Johnson #1 as his relative value is so good, but not Jordan Howard.

[James.]

Running backs make the difference - would be interesting to look at the team's who have won the league previously. I'd imagine they had a huge advantage at RB. The year I won I had picked McCoy, Charles and Forte with three of my first four picks.

One of the years I won I managed a mid season trade for Eddie Lacy which pretty much sealed it for me. Good RB's always go much higher than other players because the drop off to the next level of players down is so great.

[KirkyK]

I'd be in again if folk fancied 2 leagues and need 1 more, picking up the RB chat i won last years pretty much exclusively because of David Johnson and Lev Bell

Yeah but you still have to choose the right one :greengrin There's nothing to say the top runner won't be a rookie, or a player who comes out of left field like Chris Johnson a few years back. I see no ones talking about AP for example...

Would be good to have a premiership/championship deal here. Maybe 2 or 3 go up and down each season. Would keep people interested when they miss out on the playoffs.

I think it makes sense to keep the current page, though concomitant drafts going on with the same player names might prove to be a tad confusing - different font colours be a sufficient separator?

If its possible could we not have one league/division do their draft and then once they've finished, let the next league/division do theirs? Looking at who's in my league I reckon we could have it done within a couple of weeks if we all agreed to go for it. That way we can keep everything on the same thread.

[lugz]

I think what Calvin said works well. For this year....we'd take the top 4 from each division to create the premiership next season. Then from year 2 onwards promotion and relegation could start.

This is only an idea which I thought may be fun.

I don't think that'll work. Sure you end up with a strong top division after the first year but the 'championship' would end up with the teams that lose interest/give up through the season in it. Not fair on the guys who stick with but end up in that division IMO.

[DH1875]

If everyone in Calvin's league has signed up and is ready to go then their draft should go first. Will be good to keep an eye on and see if there's any surprises or sleepers I haven't thought off.

Just wondering, once the leagues have started will we be able to see what's going on in each league or just our own?

[Willis1875]

Erm......Why :confused: 16 of 18 teams took part and bairn is happy to go with a snake draft which gives us 17 out of 18. Why do we have to go again? I reckon the response was pretty good to be honest.

Apologies just looked back and your right the response was good

You're far better off getting pick 10 and 11 than 1 and 20. Especially this season there's no stand out #1.

[KirkyK]

If I'm not mistaken draft order is this (tossed a coin for 9/10 between bairn and gatecrasher);

1. Bry
2. Sergio
3. Nola
4. Smithy
5. Calvin
6. Ayrshire
7. Kirky
8. Nellio


1. Bollah
2. Haymaker

Being totally, and absolutely honest with you, I just trusted that the poster above me had looked through and noted there weren't many responses. I was too lazy/tired (as it was late last night when I signed in) to go back through and check.

I've not been checking the thread much recently (pretty much since I guessed the attendance myself), but I'll keep my eyes open now we're set to get underway!

[Sylar]

I know who I'm picking... When do we start?

Let's get on with it.

[DH1875]

Let's get on with it.

We need to give people notice and Gatey has gone AWOL (very surprised he didn't have a guess at the attendance). I figure if Calvin's league are all signed up and ready to go they should go first. I dunno, maybe start at the weekend at some point.

Think we are good to go aswell there's 10 signed up in our league

[Sylar]

Was there a reason it's not two leagues of 9? Does the league require even numbers?

Ok I'll get it kicked off if everyone is happy. I'll take Le'Veon Bell

[DH1875]

Probably not. We should set a date and a time and then take it from there. Something like 12pm UK time on Saturday. Also think we should maybe do 24hrs per pick and if we start running out of time, then cut it to 12. Just my thoughts guys :aok:

Saturday at 12noon is good for me. And I think we should have a 12 hour limit, assuming Gatey and everyone else has been online between now and then.

[Willis1875]

12 Saturday works for me too,better get playing around with some mock drafts

[DH1875]

We don't all need to be on at 12 on Saturday :wink:

I take it this means we are gonna try and run both drafts at the same time.

Couldn't we just keep it on the one thread but emphasise or preface the pick accordingly?

E.g., League 1: Brythehibby - Le'Veon Bell

League 2: Hibsbollah - Tim Tebow

?

OK, with the #1 pick, The Late Hits select Antonio Brown, WR Pittsburgh.

Apologies for the delay my wife has been in labour since Wednesday and the wee one arrived last night.

Anyway....the celek few select David Johnson, RB, Arizona Cardinals.

Genuinely don't see the point to it. You need to be on here and online to get the PM. Surely if you are on here and your playing, you'd check what's happening without the need of a PM.
