Follow up. That's my season done, won't be in next season if people can't be bothered to make the effort.Quote:

Still playing as well, I'm enjoying it to be honest. Probably because I have done well for once. Might need to reduce league numbers next year if folk are giving up half way through.Quote:

My team picked a great week to score one of my lowest scores of the season! Ah well, there's always next year...

Love the offline draft but will go with the majorityQuote:

The offline draft is THE highlight of .net every year. Better than the TDD thread and even the infamous Calendar Thread.
Offline draft please. Although it won't be the same without max's increasingly hysterical complaints :faf:
Shall we let Calvin in (go 12s!) in which case we need another?
Thank god for this thread the PM board and main board are hurting my brain just now
Oh just you wait till the draft starts :faf:Quote:

Thats 13, did i miss anyone? We can either have a 14 team league where everyone mentioned plays or a 12 team league where someone misses out.
I was late to the party - if it makes things awkward then just run with the 12 teams
There has been many times over the years where I've thought the same thing.Quote:

So this would be my first time in the .net league. I've always used like an app or website, I looked back and I understand the offline draft part but it was also mentioned you guys use Nfl.com I was just wondering how if you set up a team on here how do they get transferred over to Nfl.com? Sorry for any confusion lads
I think you register on nfl.com and then gatecrasher will give you a code to join our league. We make our draft picks on here then gatecrasher adds them all to our teams once the draft is complete.
There's a mobile app from nfl.com to make changes to your team once all the picks have been done. Or you can use the website.
Ok I see! Sounds good, looking forward to it :thumbsup:Quote:

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

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.Quote:

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? LOLQuote:

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

Go with the 14 we have got, less hassle than trying to organise two leagues and two separate drafts....
That would be my vote too.Quote:

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!
I just watched him play his last game with Mets single A team last week :LOL:Quote:

I'll keep Gronk safe for you this year and if Tebow chips a nail or something, I'll take him off of your hands :greengrinQuote:

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.
Just do it if it's possible :aok: with bairn we have 15, need one more.Quote:

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

Whoever I pick at RB always sucks until I trade them/bench them. Every. Single. Year.Quote:

Off me. He was putting up pony numbers for me first 6 games, traded him and he scored big. :agree:Quote:
