I know a few of us used it last year - be interesting to see what it says for everyone especially in a 16 team league!
heres what it had to say about my team :greengrinQuote:

Mines sounds promising, no doubt I'll get battered with injuries though!
"Congratulations! You seem to have grabbed quality players at every turn of this draft. It's rare indeed to be better than the average team at the three core positions (quarterback, running back and receiver), but we think this team is."
Mines is the same as you! I'm just waiting for it all to fall apart now...Quote:

view:
Your starting lineup is respectable, but the lack of depth is a serious problem. If you're lucky enough to avoid the injury bug, you might be OK. But that's a tough thing to have to count on.
:faf::faf:
I have added everyones players up to now, I think it was my works rubbish internet/old browser but there was a couple of players I couldn't add so i will have a look at this when I get home from work. The missing guys are highlighted pink on the spreadsheet.
The draft isn't submitted yet so FA's aren't open and you can't view your team.
Bry has 45 minutes and isn't online just now...
Nae looking good!
Sorry for the hold up folks not been online all weekend.
Nate Washington if he's still available.
Going to handcuff Foster, but with who..... Alfred Blue RB Texans.
Could backfire but may as well!
It said you were online last night :confused:Quote:

What is the waiver options/order and how many can be waivered at any one time?
The order is the same as the draft order, I don't think there is a limit on the amount you can do.Quote:

Yeah, once I submit the draft results FA's will be opened and you can pick up the remaining players.Quote:

That was awfully nice of you but I was thinking more of the players who you've highlighted pink because you can't enter them into the game. If I've any, I can't see them :)
My last pick is all ready to go and has been since day 1 ;)
oops :greengrinQuote:

None in your team, I'm curious as to what your pick is if you knew from the start?
Is it my selection?
AyeQuote:

Michael Vick, New York Jets ;)Quote:

Right!
I have managed to fix it and I'm about to submit your players into your Rosters. Please check your teams to ensure they are correct.
NFL.com is probably the best place to view the fantasy stuff but the new app is pretty sweet looking, much better than last seasons IMO.
Sorry the draft is so long but it's probably the best way to do it. Hopefully we can get together next year and get it done a bit quicker. Remember the first game is on Thursday when Green Bay get revenge for the Fail Mary so have your line ups ready for then.
Fingers crossed I put everything in ok.
Thanks again :aok:
Good work Gates! :aok:
Another marathon .net draft survived.
No problem, I gave myself a Title :greengrinQuote:

So although this team isn't perfect (few are), it should still be a strong contender."
I have to say, I'm still totally in the dark as to whether my team will be any good or not...
Yep. He'll do well this year except against the Patriots obviously.Quote:

My analysis:
Hampshire Claymores parlayed a good draft slot into a respectable performance. They aimed for a roster with balance at key positions, picking up a quarterback, two running backs, and two wide receivers within the first five rounds. By the draft's finish, Hampshire Claymores secured one of the best trios of wide receivers in the league.
So what does that mean?Quote:

If your not sure on who to start you can check out their projections each week although these are normally guff. I normally just look at who's playing who each week and pick my team from the players I have who's team I think will win.Quote:

There was a game last year I lost by .2 - yes POINT 2 - of a point. And I a player on the bench who would have won it for me! :grr:Quote:

If you want to add someone you have to lose a player you already have.Quote:

With their first five picks they focused on balance, selecting a QB, two running backs and two wide receivers. By draft's end, Loch Ness Monsters landed the most prolific combo of running backs in the league.
Ignoring the middle sentence because that is to do with how gatecrasher inputted the teams and not the actual draft I'm starting to think my team might be ok.
Does anyone know how qualification for the playoffs works? Is it the top right teams in the league, top four from each division, top three in each division with two wildcards, top two in each division with four wildcards or something else?
Week 8 looks to be a tough week for me as bye weeks go
I got A+ with a projected 10-3 and 2nd place. Guaranteed to flop now!Quote:

- Proj Finish 1
The Revis Islanders should officially be on the Hibsnet radar after taking the sixth overall draft slot and assembling a team that is capable of reaching the posteason. With their first five picks, they opted for balance, picking up a quarterback, two running backs, and two wide receivers. By draft's end, The Revis Islanders secured the best foursome of running backs in the league.
Apparently my team is 'weak at the three core positions of QB, RB and WR. Although somehow we can't help liking this team'. :dunno:
having had a look at who is available on FA's think ill stick with the team ive got :greengrin
There's a couple I'm waiting on seeing if they become starters or even get a decent amount of time on the pitch.Quote:

Bugger, just stumbled on this zhread. Been playing nfl fantasy for a couple of years now and would have loved to play in a hibee league. I'll look out for it next year and if you have a space, maybe I could play?
See you next year. Have fun and GO HAWKS !
At this rate we might have to run two leagues next year!Quote:
