Are folks happy with a 12 team league or two leagues of six?
I think a 12 team would present more of a challenge to be honest. But then 2 x 6 could result in damned good matchups on a weekly basis...
I'm actually a little torn.
Shame DH has gradually slipped away from these threads. I miss his efforts to be funny.
I'm keen for the fantasy NFL league if there is space. Cheers
Bairn said on the NCAA/NFL thread that they wanted to play as well, just put it on the wrong thread I think. That would make 14 with Grammyb, so a 14 team league or an 8 and a 6.Quote:

To be honest I found the splitting of the league less fun last year as part of the fun of it is the banter on the thread on here, which seemed to be less last year than in previous years. I'd be more in favour of a single league, but I know its really tough and if you get the draft wrong or lose a starter to injury you've virtually no chance of pulling things back through picking up players on waivers.
I wouldn’t want a 14 team league TBH it’s too hard to fill your roster with players that actually play rather than filling the subs bench with 4th ranked starters or free agents 🧐
How could I forget Bairn, even after he messaged me!
2 leagues of 6 and 8 then?
Would it be worthwhile advertising on the PM board or main board to try and get a couple more to bring it to 8 and 8? I'd feel for whoever is in the 6 team league to be honest.
I could possibly get another guy, but he's not a Hibs fan far less being on this forum. Offline draft looks like it'd take ages and be hard to keep track of, but I guess it has worked in previous years?!
I’d say go for a 14 team league as 8/6 not really a challenge. Did we not have 14 or 16 teamer once before and I’m sure we were fine!
That's a definite "no" for me, for the reason in bold. It's necessary.Quote:

Nice one, stanford have been fairly strong and their conference can be mixed so moderate success is achievable :greengrinQuote:

I think if you download Tapatalk to your phone and subscribe to the thread it will notify you when someone posts. I'm not 100% on that though. It definitely notifies you when someone messages or quotes you.Quote:

I found using the google spreadsheet in previous years pretty useful for keeping track of all the picks, its a bit of duplication, but if anyone wants to use it feel free to put your picks in or update it with picks that have been missed. I'll try to keep it as up to date as possible.
I mentioned on 19/07 that I was back in for the year.
I’ve done next to none scouting this year,Better get a move on 😳
Eh ? How did I get first pick?
Is Kaepernick available?
He is!Quote:
