the week i drop Thompkins he scores 2 TD;s unbelievable jeff :brickwall

Both him and Jones, whom you offered for Colston have had brilliant nights...

I bow to your superior fantasy knowledge :greengrin

Inspired choice putting Eli Manning in at QB tonight, eh? :rolleyes:

[James.]

Inspired choice putting Eli Manning in at QB tonight, eh? :rolleyes:

Almost as inspired as keeping LaFell on your bench! :greengrin Knowing the way things have panned out the last two weeks, Boldin will have a huge night for you. I've been leading past two weeks only for Cruz and then Lynch to have monster nights at the last kick! :rolleyes:

[Calvin]

I missed the deadline to swap out Reggie bush. :grr: whoever is against me will have an easy win tonight...
Ha.

[Haymaker]

Oh the pain.

[Sergio sledge]

Ha.

Genuine surprise result for me based on my performances this season! Hopefully this is a sign of things to come....

[Sylar]

Absolute bloody disaster...

[Haymaker]

Just need Peyton and the Broncos to have a mare tonight and I could sneak a win...

Im screwed.

Peyton against the Raiders. Good luck with that :greengrin

You never know...


I keep telling myself that today.

Any interest in parting with injured Gronk or are you sticking it out with him?? I've got a very decent RB wasting away on my bench that could help you - especially since Spiller looks like he could possibly be struggling with a thigh injury!

Nope, not the Gronk.

[Sylar]

Only one good thing came out of my abysmal week and that was getting first place on the Waiver order to offload some of the misfiring dross :greengrin

[Haymaker]

Another week with my big scorers on the bench. Can never get this right!

[Sylar]

Woodhead really is kicking you in the balls tonight - 2nd TD catch :greengrin

[Haymaker]

Woodhead really is kicking you in the balls tonight - 2nd TD catch :greengrin

Yep. Ball buster.

Cant believe Cutler outscored Kaepernick. After that opening game I was convinced I haf a big scorer. Been pony these last few games!

[Haymaker]

Edelman coming into the game, need some points!

[NOLA]

another resounding victory from myself, absolute tanked the cabbage+Redskins by 5 points :greengrin every wins a sin :cb

[Haymaker]

Another narrow (for now) defeat while I had big points on the bench! Cant seem to get my rotation right this season.

[H18sry]

Dolphins on the downward spiral as are finsagogo :yw:

[James.]

Two Patriot fans comprehensively beaten - one left to take care of this weekend!! With DH also leading the league right now it's plainly obvious that we Jets fans are a superior and well informed breed compared to the followers of the Brady Bunch :na na:

[Gatecrasher]

Made a few trades hopefully they can make a difference this week

[Haymaker]

We have to give you Jessies something, your football team doesnt.

[hibsbollah]

Putting my faith in RG3s dodgy knee looks like a questionable decision :rolleyes: Ive picked up Eli Manning off waivers because I cant see the Giants staying this bad for long and they have the Eagles secondary this weekend.

Oh, whoever suggested I traded Marshawn Lynch away for Tony Romo:hilarious :hilarious I can only say, put down the crackpipe. Im not that desperate :greengrin

[Sylar]

Brave man banking on Eli - I cut him loose after his absolutely abysmal outing against Carolina when he amassed a whopping 4.16 points...

Gatey must be quaking in his boots this weekend as he faces absolute powerhouse RBs in LeGarrette Blount and Andre Ellington :greengrin Blount has fortuitously been promoted to lead RB for New England this week right enough in the absence of Ridley and had a good outing last week so fingers crossed he comes good against the Bengals...expecting Ellington to get a few more carries after Mendenhall's shambolic performance last week too.

Took my first stash gamble for my bench on Jonathan Stewart. With the sheer absence of RBs out there, he's set to return in a couple of weeks and should get plenty of carries.

[James.]

Fred Jackson scored 21 points on Thursday! He's been in double figures every week this season. If anyone's desperate for a reliable running back then he's available at the right price!

[Sylar]

I didn't think he'd be a player you were looking to trade but you have a proposition...

[James.]

I didn't think he'd be a player you were looking to trade but you have a proposition...

I've got Charles, McCoy and Richardson so he's not even getting my flex spot. RB is pretty scarce so looking for something decent in return! I'll have a look at your proposal!

Edit: I'll snatch your hand off there Scott!! Pleasure doing business!!

Magic - he's done very little for me so far but I dare say he'll come good in time. I'm really REALLY lacking at RB, Petersen aside so I'm quite happy to get someone decent in return.

[James.]

He'll fit right in with my WRs then. Fitzgerald, White and Shorts are all carrying injuries and Antonio Brown has been pretty inconsistent. 5 pretty decent receivers now so hopefully I can make the right call on who to play!

It wasn't just Romo.... I was hoping you might do a TSSF and click the wrong button, then I'd be laughing :greengrin

[H18sry]

Cowboys against Broncos what a game Romo was outstanding until he threw that interception with 2 mins to go in the last quarter with the game tied at 48 each, and the Broncos look really good if you score 48 we'll score 51



Oh aye and Loch Ness Monsters bench scored more than Surrey Storm :thumbsup:

All I need is Matt Ryan to have a Manning/Romo-esque evening and I can still win :greengrin

He IS up against the Jessies so a big night isn't out of the question...

I hope not, One week Eli is going to click with his WR's and someone is going to get destroyed :greengrin. Also Eddie Lacy is proving to be a solid pick :agree:

[Sergio sledge]

Why did Jaquizz Rogers choose last night to score his first two TD's of the season? It was going ok until that happened.... I should have picked Romo.

[James.]

Hat Track of wins against the Patsies!

ESPN are reporting that Julio Jones could be out for the year. Could be a long season in Atlanta now!

[James.]

I want to have Jamaal Charles' babies. Absolute stud!

[NOLA]

some of my "players" just havent turned up today, as for the much vaunted texans defence - PISH!

[Sylar]

I'm regretting getting rid of the Rams defense as it is :greengrin

[Calvin]

When up against Peyton and Julius Thomas this week, I thought I had no chance of winning as there were 60 points right there. Cheers Jags for doing me a favour, and cheers to Knowshon Moreno for your 3 touchdowns.

[Sylar]

I need 12 points from the Colts defense tonight for the unlikeliest of wins :greengrin

Howler from the Colts - much like every other person in my team this week.

Shambles.

[Haymaker]

Howler from the Colts - much like every other person in my team this week.

Shambles.

And I move to 2-4! The comeback surge to the playoffs begins!

In all seriousness, I had a worse team last year yet iirc I averaged about 80-90, sometimes well over 100 points... What a funny game.

[Haymaker]

The Gronk has travelled to NYC... My fantasy team is suddenly looking better!

[Gatecrasher]

Vanderbilt just a couple of mins away from beating Georgia, Georgia need a TD to win in their last drive.

[Haymaker]

There goes any hope of beating Gates, Cutler off with a groin strain. *******.

[hibsbollah]

RG3 looks like hes back tonight :aok:

[NOLA]

another horror show from my stars tonight, doesnt really help when you leave a 20point guy on the fking bench likes :rolleyes:

[Sylar]

Fred Jackson, my kicker (Robbie Gould) and Matt Ryan were the only players to exceed double figures - if Peterson gets 41 points tonight, it's in the bag :greengrin

[Gatecrasher]

There goes any hope of beating Gates, Cutler off with a groin strain. *******.

tough one, I still have 2 players to play. Cutler was -.88 in the 3rd though!

[Haymaker]

Finished that way. Threw a pick six and then off. Cant get my rotations right at all this year

[James.]

Larry Fitzgerald's measly 1.8 points was the difference maker this week! My WR stable is truly awful though!

[hibsbollah]

Looks like a busy week for fantasy transactions with all these injuries. How many waiver requests can go through for any one team per week?

[James.]

You can put in as many as you want. I put in three last week and managed to get two of them.

You in need of a TE? Clay or Witten of any interest?

I have a free agent in mind...I might get back to you on Wednesday if it doesnt work out :greengrin

Hoping Greg Jennings has a 40point game tonight otherwise I might lose this week...

[Gatecrasher]

Hoping Greg Jennings has a 40point game tonight otherwise I might lose this week...

tough luck he got about 10% of that :greengrin, Greg Jennings is a good receiver but he doesn't have a good QB to throw to him. A bit like Larry Fitzgerald IMO.

[NOLA]

alot of players on bye week, waivers should be interesting :greengrin who's after the redskins TE then :wink:

[Sylar]

Or frustrating - very little to work with on Waivers/FA just now...

However, one of the perks of being this low down the league is first dibs at any Waivers :greengrin

[lochhibs]

worst fantasy season ive ever had.is there relegation in this league?:o

[Sylar]

Thankfully not - don't worry though - you're playing me this weekend which should see you up to 2-6 :greengrin

[Gatecrasher]

who picked up what in the trades then? I picked up Brian Hartline after Finsagogo dropped him. He's perfect for my bench.

[Sylar]

I picked up T.Y. Hilton who should see a lot more game-time now Reggie Wayne is done.

Roy Helu was also available so I picked him up for my bench though he might be dropped again pretty quickly as Jonathan Stewart is expected back from injury next week and will hopefully slot back in as the Panthers lead RB.

[James.]

Calvin has nabbed my waiver claim two weeks in a row now. First Fauria and now Dalton! :grr: Stafford has his bye in Week 9 and the alternatives don't look good!

[hibsbollah]

I did a load of predictable stuff; Mike James from the Buccs now their main RB Doug Martin got injured and the Seahawks TE now poor Jermichael is out with his neck. I've given up totally on my pair of Rams wideouts now Bradfords gone down; if anyone wants them theyre now on waivers. Also wanted TY Hilton the Cowboys WR Williams, and the Washington TE but no joy...

[Sylar]

Calvin has nabbed my waiver claim two weeks in a row now. First Fauria and now Dalton! :grr: Stafford has his bye in Week 9 and the alternatives don't look good!

I'd offer you Alex Smith but I'm not sure there's anything overly worthwhile as a trade given that it's just as cover for Stafford for a week :confused:

[James.]

Who has the Giants kicker? 15 points so far!

Please accept my white flag just now :greengrin

ill trade you Terrell Pryor if you want him for next week?

[Calvin]

Well Andy Dalton was a great pick up this week. Far surpassed anything that Sham Bradford had put up this season. Conversely and insanely, I also had the Jets D. Fauria and Randle both neglected to catch a ball this week too.

[Sergio sledge]

It's on weeks like these I'm glad to have Megatron and Brees in my lineup. :greengrin: Bush and Josh Gordon weren't too bad either.

[Sylar]

I need the Rams to shut out Seattle tonight or serve out a huge number of sacks/turnovers - currently leading by 12 with C&Rs having Wilson and the Seattle K still to go.

Something like *gag, gag, gag, cough, cough, gag*? :confused:

[Haymaker]

Finally a decent QB performance! And everyone else sucked instead!

[James.]

ill trade you Terrell Pryor if you want him for next week?

I'm interested. I'll send you a trade request!

Tough match up this week! Third highest score in the league and still lost :grr:

[Sylar]

Quiet night for Wilson + decent performance by the Rams defense = fantasy win :greengrin

Watch out gentlemen - the comeback is on :na na:

[Sylar]

I was looking to see what scope there would be of acquiring Knowshon Moreno and hadn't quite realised how much of a beast he's been this year for fantasy points! Even Peterson wouldn't be a worthwhile trade for you!

You have quite a committee of RBs actually wth Moreno, Rice, Gore and Sproles! I thought I was going to get off lightly this week with both Gore and Moreno on bye-weeks, only to spy who was lurking in reserve...

In a league where RB talent is hard to come by, I'm pretty happy with my roster! In fact, I'm kind of disappointed that I'm only 4-4; the lack of QB points from Brady has been costly this season.

[Sylar]

Ach, which one of you *******s picked up Kenny Stills ahead of me? :rolleyes:

[NOLA]

Ach, which one of you *******s picked up Kenny Stills ahead of me? :rolleyes:
it would have been me but im not as far down the table as you guys :na na:

[Sergio sledge]

I think I'm stick on to lose this week, Megatron, Reggie Bush and Eric Decker are all on bye's so it's a pretty weak line up I've got this week.

[hibsbollah]

Nice start to this weeks games helped by the Dolphins defense racking up 22 points.

[Gatecrasher]

3 players last night and only 13 points. The bye weeks are hurting me this week.

I may have taken the wrong week to pick up the Raiders D. Not that it matters with an all-round abysmal showing.

[Haymaker]

Finally getting points from Andre Johnston!

[NOLA]

Finally getting points from Andre Johnston!
3touchdowns already, plenty time for another couple and you pull off the great escape :agree:

Had I played Sanders & pierce I would have lost by 0.02 points!

Vick was expected to play but had a relapse on Thursday then it was too late to change.

For all those that religiously follow the pundits advice on who to play, check out how bad 'start em sit em' by Michael Fabiano was last week :greengrin

[Sylar]

Vick was expected to play but had a relapse on Thursday then it was too late to change.

I thought he was properly out, my apologies :agree:

You might as well ditch him now - after last week's outing by Foles, I can't see Vick getting back in barring injury.

long gone tried to revamp my squad from waivers this week need a strong finish :wink:

[Sylar]

long gone tried to revamp my squad from waivers this week need a strong finish :wink:

Being honest, with Manning as QB, you're pretty well set there. Having Thomas at TE too means you're likely to get points whenever Denver play!

I picked up Nick Foles as a FA this week for Matt Ryan and have Jay Cutler now stashed on my bench so we'll see how that experiment goes. Ryan isn't suddenly a bad QB but he's nobody to throw the ball to!

[Sergio sledge]

long gone tried to revamp my squad from waivers this week need a strong finish :wink:

I took a bit of a gamble and picked up Shane Vereen from the waivers this week, hopefully he'll return next week as predicted and provide me with an added option at RB. Considering 2 of my 3 gambles in the draft (Tavon Austin and Cordarelle Paterson) have been massive disappointments and were discarded, I hope this one pays off!

[hibsbollah]

I bench RG3 last night and he goes on to have his best game of the season :rolleyes:

[Sylar]

I'm struggling to pick a QB this week - Foles was awesome last week but was that simply because he faced Oakland? Cutler is back and fit but how fit precisely will he be against an in form Lions side...

Cutler for the minute but I've chopped and changed.

[NOLA]

Andrew Lucks doing me proud with 2.52 points sofar as his colts are getting walloped 28-0 by the rams, at least it means he will come out slinging it in the 2nd half, long as he doesnt thrown an interception im hopeful he can reach 20 points:faint:
only the 2 interceptions so far :( the ****ing rams for **** sake

A good start but I need New Orleans to have an off night and Decker to remain quiet to stand a chance...

you're still projected to win.

[hibsbollah]

Ridiculous night for my team. Brought in Jake Locker as QB for an easy match up vs Jaguars, fumble, interception, minus-1.24 points and then he goes off injured :hilarious

Thankfully, the rest of my team are having a big night and so far have a decent lead on the bawbags.

[Haymaker]

Im ****ed again, already far behind and only 3 players left for points.

[Sergio sledge]

You got one part of it, Decker was quiet. Thankfully Brees destroyed the cowboys!

[Sylar]

Felt more than a little gutted when I got up this morning and seen that. I hate (and hugely respect) Drew Brees and his band of bounty hunters in equal measure right now :agree:

[lochhibs]

i have a 66 point lead going into tonights game with the uphill gardeners who still have mike wallace and the dolphins kicker to play.i could be going 3-7 and back to back wins.playoffs here we come.lol.

[Sylar]

Donald Brown - go **** yourself :agree:

2 days after I drop him he explodes into life.

[Calvin]

I'm having terrible selection problems today in that all my players deserve to play. Sproles, Dobson and Randle all scored touchdowns in their previous game yet all are on the bench.

Gonna take a punt on Percy Harvin I think though, I can't help myself; but Ray Rice has had one too many chances. Sure he'll score a brace tonight now!

[Sylar]

I've struggled to make selections today too actually - regretting picking T.Y Hilton the past 2 weeks but without a doubt, the week I drop him, he'll put up big numbers again.

I'm torn between 4 for my remaining WR/Flex option tonight - Riley Cooper (scoring for fun just now), Andre Ellington (against a brutal Jaguars defense), Anquan Boldin (against a pitiful Saints pass defense) or Doug Baldwin (probably impacted by the probable return of Harvin, though that might open up some coverage.

[James.]

Back with a bang this week after dropping my last three! Only 4 players going so far but racked up almost 80 between them!

[Sergio sledge]

29.90 points from Megatron at half time is saving me so far this week!

I don't know whether to pick the Chiefs or 49ers D this week, Chiefs play the Broncos and 49ers play the Saints, so neither has a good match up.

[hibsbollah]

http://blog.chron.com/ultimatetexans/2013/11/why-kicker-randy-bullock-texans/

Im keeping him though. Just because hes called Randy Bullock.

[NOLA]

Trade deadline this weekend.

[Sylar]

I'm doing bugger towards the playoffs and I'm not going to be able to do anything with my lineup for the next 3 weeks so here's open season on my lineup.

Woo me :greengrin

[H18sry]

Don't believe I left a player with 16 points on the bench, and I lost by 10 :grr::grr: bloooody projections

[Sylar]

I'm trailing by 16 with Anquan Boldin still to play for me and Vernon Davis still to play for NOLA.

It was more of a fight than I thought it was going to be but looks like another loss for me!

It was looking better for you at the end of the 1st quarter last night, the Broncos D had scored 23points! I couldn't believe what I was watching so called it a night, imagine my surprise when I saw the final score :)

[Sylar]

When I got up and seen Boldin had 94 receiving yards and 2 TDs, I thought I might have just snuck it but Davis bagged you 11 points so you win by 5 points!

:not worth

[Sergio sledge]

Am I right in thinking that I've secured my play off spot now as the three teams who can catch me (7-5 records currently) would all lose out on the head-to-head record tie-breaker? (I've beaten them all)

If so, I should probably think about resting some players...... :greengrin

Yeah congrats! Any three from five for the last slots it looks like! Really can't afford to drop one now especially with a huge match up with the Late Hits this week!!

[Haymaker]

Im getting a message saying "If you want to reserve you place for next season" or something?

[Sergio sledge]

Eric Decker, where did that come from? 2 times this season I've had players in my team score 40 points and both times they've been on my bench :grr:

Thankfully Josh Gordon nearly hit 40 points and was in my team!

Great win this week against the Storm, thanks mainly to the Phins defense and Manning's performance again. :thumbsup:

A good win for you, nicely done :agree:

Did you pick Miami up on Waivers? I have a recollection of seeing them available an thought about picking them up but didn't bother getting around to it.

I left Fred Jackson on my bench this week, with 19 points. Killer!

Last season it was the top four playing two semifinals. Assumed it was the same this year?

cheers I never took part last year :aok:

[Sergio sledge]

:agree: looks like it according to the playoff schedule on the league page. Positions 5 - 8 in the league also play off for 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th positions. 9 - 12 are so rubbish they don't deserve and extra 2 games..... :greengrin:

[Haymaker]

Should I dare to dream?!

[hibsbollah]

Looks like its going to be a tiebreaker between me, Gatey, the Uphill Gardeners and the Bounty Hunters for the final playoff place...

[Gatecrasher]

Looks like its going to be a tiebreaker between me, Gatey, the Uphill Gardeners and the Bounty Hunters for the final playoff place...

I got off to such a good start then Rodgers getting injured really screwed me, Marshall will easily get 2 points tonight so thats another loss for me.

I tired to work out who I would be playing, but it made my head hurt.....

[Sylar]

Surrey Storm will be taking the franchise option next year, relocating and becoming known as 'Cannon Fodder' :greengrin

[HibsMax]

I tried to figure out the tiebreakers but couldn't. If there are four tied for the last spot then I know I win some tiebreakers and lose others. I'll let nfl.com figure it out after tonight's game. Think I'm pissing into the wind hoping for a championship spot.

dont you just love weeks when your bench outscores your starters :rolleyes:

Could the 4 dropped teams not have played a round robin to have kept them involved?

[HibsMax]

Probably but NFL.com would need to support that.

[Sylar]

Could the 4 dropped teams not have played a round robin to have kept them involved?

No reason you couldn't make up an unofficial one if you want. Our teams are all still accruing points.

[NOLA]

when youv been as bad as your team id imagine youd be happy to have it over with ronnie lol to think of the start you made in week1with peyton aswell!

[Sergio sledge]

I had a poor day, saved by some garbage time TD's from Gordon and Brees. (at half time in his game Brees was on -2...) Just need Megatron to score 13.61 points v the Ravens tonight to scrape a win.

You have to be favourites. If you want one nonQB to get you 13 points youd always pick Calvin Johnson. Pretty pleased with my last minute pickup of the Vikings third string RB though, due to injuries to AP and his backup. He got me 24 points on his own!

It's going to be close I reckon, Johnson is scoring an average of 17 points a game this season, but he has had a 2.5 and only got 5.2 last week. In my benefit he's scoring slightly more at home and won't have to play in a blizzard this week.

He had a stormer. I didn't even know he existed until I saw him piling up the TD's and adding to your points last night.

[Sylar]

Second highest points this week as Dan Bailey, Nick Foles, Julian Edelmen and Jason Witten all had good nights.

Nothing compared to the ridiculous outing by Jamaal Charles mind you (51.50 points), who would have run the Bawbags close on his own :greengrin - with Matt Stafford still to play, could we be looking at Revis Islanders racking up the most points in a game this season?

[hibsbollah]

He had a stormer. I didn't even know he existed.

Neither did I :greengrin I just logged on to Nfl.com 45 mins before kickoff and it was breaking news 'Peterson and gerhart injured, third string RB to start', i dont have a decent runner after Marshawn so I thought I'd chance my luck.

Came within a few points last week of doing it! As long as Stafford can score more than -60 I'll be happy!!

[Sergio sledge]

Gutted, I fell 3.81 points short at the time it mattered the most.....

Reggie Bush, who looked doubtful all week and who I couldn't afford to take a risk on including in the team scored a TD on the opening drive and if I'd played him instead of Vereen I'd have won.... :grr:

I take more pride in being top scorer in the league and winning the regular season than fluking a couple of wins in the playoffs anyway... :greengrin

It'll be all about Randy Bullock.

[NOLA]

Hibsbollah managing the Late hits almost Baltimore Ravens-esque, late season surge into the playoffs before knocking off the no.1 seed and now into the championship game, who'd have thunk it :greengrin my moneys on Revis Islanders though, looking @ their RB stable - Charles,McCoy and Richardson :wink: best trade you ever made :aok:

That Richardson trade is the worst thing I've done this year!! Murray's had a great year and T-Rich has been a complete bust!! Charles and McCoy were steals in this year's draft at no 10 and 15 though. :aok:

Sorely tempted to to give Roddy White his first outing since Week 2.

Championship Day!! Bring on the Late Hits!

low scoring championship week, bit of an anti-climax.

[hibsbollah]

Well done Ayrshire. ...last year semifinal, this year final, no one's stopping me NEXT year :greengrin

[James.]

Cheers 'bollah!

Well there you go folks! Evidence that Jet fans are the most knowledgeable and well informed NFL fans out there! :agree:

Once again it was all about Shady McCoy and Jamaal Charles: combining for almost 50 points between them. Been lucky to have the two best players in fantasy this year!! Looking forward to defending my crown in 2014 :aok:

[Gatecrasher]

Well done :thumbsup:

[Sylar]

Well done Ayrshire :not worth

Always knew Jets fans were the best in the league when it comes to fantasy :na na: Just remember, you don't get a ring for it :greengrin

Incidentally, where on Earth has DH been this year?!

Well done, they've both been ridiculously good this season, excellent draft picks!

My only consolation for losing last week was that even if I'd have won, I would still have lost this week as I've had a shocker in each of the playoff weeks. Regular season champion and highest points scorer isn't too bad for my second season of Fantasy.

When's the draft for next season then....... :greengrin

[James.]

Cheers everyone! :aok:

[Haymaker]

Well done ayrshire! Bring on next season and another mental draft!

[HibsMax]

Good job everyone. Pity it's over. I did as bad in my other league. This week I had two players post 0 and they were both playing. Ouch.

Looking forward to next year.

[Gatecrasher]

Just to let everyone know I have re-activated the Fantasy League for next season. I will post something closer to the time regarding drafts etc. :cb

A big yes from me.

I was one of the 2 who asked, so if I could get a PM if there is space that would be awesome :) thanks

An expanded league will be fun when we get to the later draft rounds! :agree:

How many were in the league last year?

[Haymaker]

How many were in the league last year?
10 or 12... It gets very hard towards the end of the draft as you have no idea who the players are! Much more fun than our boring version of fantasy football! :agree:

[DH1875]

How many were in the league last year?

Rem though, if your gonna play, your gonna have to take 2 weeks out of your life to complete the draft. Its worth it though :)

[Haymaker]

With an expanded league we'll be looking at 3... possibly 4 weeks off work. :greengrin

[Sergio sledge]

It also should make trades more common as there'll be less chance of grabbing a decent player off waivers.

I'm in this year again!

[H18sry]

count me in :thumbsup:

dunno mate, depends on whether your a Falcons fan :grr: :greengrin

Count me in for next year. Time to defend my crown :cup:

[Haymaker]

Wow. Hibs and the Panthers. You like disappointment! :greengrin

[Gatecrasher]

Right, Who's all in for this year then!

So far we have:
Gatecrasher
NOLA
DH1875
Haymaker
Sergio sledge
Hibsbollah
Hi8sry
AyrshireHibs
Derry Hibee (if we can get the expansion on the go)
Sylar
DarrenSQH (if we can get the expansion on the go)
Calvin
Hibsmax

Which means we are missing:


Lochhibs


I have sent PM's to the guys I don't know about yet.

[Calvin]

I'm in of course! Have been AWOL at Glasto for the week but I'll be playing.

Maybe time for a new thread? :)

[DH1875]

I'll see what I can do. :aok:


Could we not just set up a new league or would that be to much work :dunno:. Would be a shame for anyone to miss out.

[Gatecrasher]

I was having a look on the NFL web site and you can have divisions and expand the play offs, If everyones ok with that.

Sounds good! How are we going to split the divisions?

[Gatecrasher]

Do you want me to draw them out a hat? Or does someone have a better idea.

[hibsbollah]

We could have a nfc/afc split depending on what teams we support? Off the top of my head theres more of us nfc'ers mind you...
I'll be melting in the Med for the next fortnight, can you wait till midJuly?

aye as long as everything is firmed up (including the attendance guesses) before the Livi game.

[Sergio sledge]

How about a Scottish based and a Rest of the World based split? I reckon at least 6 of the 14 live outside Scotland (based on their location on here), NOLA (Krakow), Haymaker (London - Sort of), Derry Hibee (assuming Derry?), Sylar (Hampshire), Calvin (Newcastle) and Hibs Max (Boston). Hibsbollah is still listed as Happy Clappertoun, but I'm pretty sure he's moved since we got relegated... :greengrin DH1875, Hi8sry, and DarrenSQH don't have a location listed.

[Haymaker]

That's a good idea Sergio.

[brythehibby]

I'd be keen to get involved in this if there's space folks

[DH1875]

There's at least 6 of us from the AFC East. There's a division right there. Could get a bit messy though :)

[brythehibby]

I'll see what I can do, We need even numbers to make it work.

No bother, cheers.

[lugz]

Apologies if its too late but id like to get involved, if you are splitting it into divisions I support the Eagles.

[Gatecrasher]

Ok so Darren, Derry, Bry and Lugz would make it 15 and if Loch (waiting on confirmation) is in that would make it 16 2 divisions of 8

[Haymaker]

Sounds great!

[Sylar]

Ok so Darren, Derry, Bry and Lugz would make it 15 and if Loch (waiting on confirmation) is in that would make it 16 2 divisions of 8

Rather than trying to come up with criteria for grouping the divisions, how about I put everybody's name into Excel and use a random number generator to assign a number to everyone between 1 and 16.

You then give me a rule (i.e., all odds and all evens) and we do it that way?

Seems easier than attempting to lump by conference supported?

[James.]

16 teams :worried:That means around another 60 - 70 players on rosters. It's going to be painful come Round 3 of the draft :greengrin

I don't know if it's worth doing divisions as you're really playing everyone just once with such big numbers - might as well be all up against each other in one division.

[Haymaker]

We're gonna get one super star each I think... It's gonna be tough!

[NOLA]

16 players, the draft will take forever, better start it now to be sure :greengrin defo dont want to be picking first this year :agree: unless we choose to autopick and then trade the players we arent happy with?

[Sergio sledge]

16 players, the draft will take forever, better start it now to be sure :greengrin defo dont want to be picking first this year :agree: unless we choose to autopick and then trade the players we arent happy with?

Is it possible to do the draft for the first 4/5 rounds or so and then auto-pick the rest or can that not be done? would allow us to select the decent players ourselves and then trade our other players if we don't like them?

Whatever we do we'll have to start pretty soon, 58 days till kick-off!

I think we should pick our own players to be honest. Usually picking up a bargain late on can make all the difference!

Im with. Ayrshire on this :)

[hibsbollah]

Absolutely. Autogenerating picks is a waste of time. We're all fairly knowledgeable so we should know even the players in the lower rounds pretty well :dunno:

[HibsMax]

No auto-pick for me. That happened in my work's league last year and it sucks not being in control of who is in your line-up.

[H18sry]

With more players we will need to speed up our draft. :agree:

[Gatecrasher]

I have sent PM's to Bry, Darren, Smithy, Lugz and Derry to join the league. I haven't heard from Lochhibs yet, I will give him a bit longer then he might need to be punted if he doesn't respond.

Any thoughts on names or how to split the divisions?

[SmithyHibee]

Just tried to join and it says that the league is full

ok I'm clearly being the silly one here, ive logged in and can't find an option to type in league no and password?

Just asks if I want to join a league with an auto or manual draft.

[lugz]

sorted now, the app/mobile site wasn't the best for trying to find it.

[DarrenSQH]

Will join when im back home as the mobile wont let me join a private league.

That's it working now.

Nice one :aok:
