Hibs.Net NFL Fantasy League

With the first pick of the draft I’ll take...... Saquon Barkley

Edit - for anyone not in the WhatsApp group drop me a PM with your number I’ll add you. Also I’ll take out the guys from last year that aren’t in it.

[Calvin]

Do we have a spreadsheet going yet?

[grammyb111]

Can we not do an online draft with no time limit (essentially tracking the players pick). The most painful part of the process is working out who is all available, and the spreadsheet while better than nothing was still not ideal...

Agree with that. If there was an option like this it would be ideal

[nellio]

Id prefer that too.

[Willis1875]

Sounds good, anybody know how go about it?
Nfl fantasy gives you a Live, Auto and offline option with a max 300secs per pick

I've been out of reach of the internet since this morning, have we started?! I've not even made up my cheat sheets yet! :greengrin

Think it's been put on the backburner for a couple of weeks, it's still up in the air about how we are going to draft

[hibsbollah]

There's no way we should do an offline draft without a time limit, it'd descend into a farce. Otherwise I'm easy however we do it.

I think Yahoo might have that option (I know right, they still exist‽) or maybe it’s ESPN.

I do like the NFL interface though.

[Sergio sledge]

I use fantasypros to track picks, and they allow you to set up a private mock draft with up to 24hours per pick. We could do that and then transfer all the picks to NFL.com for the league?

I've never tried it before, but it could be worth a try, I'm happy to set it up and invite everyone if you want to try it out?

[Willis1875]

That sounds like a plan Sergio

[Sergio sledge]

https://dw.fantasypros.com/w/kO0lnDUH

If folks want to try it out I've set it up on fantasy pros with 12 hours per pick. Click the link to register for it. You might need to register a free account to sign up, but that should be all. Once everyone is in I'll sort out the draft order and we can set an agreed start time for it.

[Willis1875]

Signed up and good to go

I can't seem to change your position in the draft, could you see if you can get into it and select your position (10th)? I can only change my position for some reason.

[Haymaker]

EDIT: I'm in.

Yup that's it, if you could all move yourselves to the correct position in the draft according to the order set earlier in the thread then when we agree to start the draft I'll get it going.

1.Brythehibee
2.Sergio Sledge
3.Haymaker
4.Sylar

6.Nellio
7.Lugz

[hibernianyank]

That's me all signed up and slotted in at #9 :thumbsup:

[Sylar]

Signed up, but I can't see this being a great season for me now.

I typically do a lot of my team sorting etc using the NFL Fantasy App so this is going to require a bit of effort (which will be hard when I'm out in California for a large part of the season).

We're just doing the draft on this and then the commissioner will transfer the teams to NFL.com for the season so we'll still be using that for running the league. This should just make it easier for people to track who's been picked and avoid all the confusion picking on the thread sometimes causes.

The only thing that is different with this draft is that if someone misses their pick they will automatically be assigned the next best player based on their expert consensus rankings, unless people set up their cheat sheet during the draft. I think that we've done that in previous years anyway so that it's not totally screwing people if they miss a pick.

Apologies my good sir, I must have missed this! Excellent news - sounds like a sensible mechanism for keeping things rolling too. I like it!

[hibsbollah]

Why don't we all try to be around one particular day/evening to start the draft?

[Willis1875]

Still Five to sign up
When are we wanting to get this started? Beginning of August should be when we are looking to getting moving

[Haymaker]

I'm ready to start as soon as we're all in

[Sylar]

You appear to now be in, as does Calvin.

Three to go!

[Willis1875]

StevesFamau5 you aren't on the draft yet, doesn't seemed to have worked.

Yeah, some scores are really low for WR2s or WR3s so would help boost them a little.

If I remember right I just followed the link https://dw.fantasypros.com/w/kO0lnDUH created a new account which needs a username, email address and a password... That should be you onto the draft order then just register your username against whatever slot you are in the draft

You are slot 11 in the draft

[nellio]

Sorry.I'm in now only one spot left

[Willis1875]

Just NOLA to go then?
Been a bit of a mixup in spots 5,6 and 7 for draft order but not sure it can be changed now

[Sergio sledge]

I think lugz would need to move himself to 13, then Calvin and nellio could move up, then lugz move back to 7. If that could all be done before NOLA gets registered it should work! Bit awkward, I thought I'd be able to move people around but it appears not.

[lugz]

That's me moved to 13, apologies if I've messed it up

[Sergio sledge]

That's me moved to 13, apologies if I've messed it up

Cheers, as long as Calvin and Nellio get themselves moved before Nola joins then we are good.

[Haymaker]

Get a move on NOLA! Some of us want to draft Tebow! :greengrin

[Willis1875]

[Haymaker]

:hyper let's go!

[hibsbollah]

Using fantasy pros draft order generator at 10:42am this is the draft order:

1.Brythehibee
2.Sergio Sledge
3.Haymaker
4.Sylar
5.Calvin
6.Nellio
7.Lugz
8.Grammy
9.hibernianyank
10.Willis1875
11.stevefamou5
12.hibsbollah
13.NOLA
14.Smithyhibee

It will be the usual snake draft, 12 hours time limit on picks including 1st round. Clock starts once Brythehibee makes his first pick..... Happy with that?

I'll update the WhatsApp group to give a heads up for anybody that hasn't checked on this thread the last couple of days.
Anybody that isn't on the WhatsApp group and would like to be then drop me a PM with your phone number and I'll add you to it(it helped move things along last year)
Cheers

I was starting to get excited he would fall all the way to my second round pick, sadly not to be though!

I understand a lot of people don't like him, but seriously, these rankings have Tom Brady at number 21 in QBs...behind Big Ben, Josh Allen and Kyler Murray FFS.

Any help would be ace guys :confused::confused::confused:

[grammyb111]

You get a point for just catching the ball, so slot receivers and running backs who catch out the back field get a few more points. It's to help receivers catch up to running backs when it comes to scoring potential. Let me know if there are any more questions, tried to explain it as simple as I can but may not make sense!
