In fairness, had it not been for Da Bears channeling the spirit of the 1985 defense against a hapless Bills team, you would probably have won!
:agree: Mack was the missing piece in the jigsaw. They look very good, their three defeats have all been by a bawhair.Quote:

Long road to make the play offs now. At least the dolphins won.
It was close until a late 72yard catch and TD from Michael Thomas,I feared defeat until that momentQuote:

My entire fantasy team clearly got pished together last night. Hapless so far!!!!
Despite having 3 or 4 players that contirbuted to sqrt * f:all, I'm 4 points behind going into a shoot-out tonight between Tyreek Hill and Todd Gurley.
Fingers crossed that Gurley lays an egg tonight 😉Quote:

You only have to finish in 8th place to get to the quarter finals so anyone can still win it!
While I'm doing everything i can to maintain a .500 record
Well, you did pick a significant amount of Packers players, and they're currently 4-6.Quote:

Another win this week. Still an outside chance of making the top 8 after a terrible start. Looks like a couple of guys have given up in the league.
Regular season champions. Again:tin hat::cup:
Derrick Henry, 47 points last night. He was on someone's bench:greengrin
I removed TJ Yeldon last night before the game started.
Phew.
Pretty much all down to Adam Thielen tonight in the playoff game between myself and the Llamas. I do have the Vikings kicker as well.
That's me you're playing and I've got him playing in a playoff semi first leg game this weekend in another league. Winner gets $250 so won't be too disappointed if Thielen has a career day!Quote:

The only way it can realistically done now is a mutual agreement to drop a player each and hope nobody else in the league tries to claim them off of waivers. But yeah, I'm pretty sure the trade deadline is early in November.Quote:

That play off game between me and the Pontiac Bandits was probably my favourite all year.
It was a ding dong battle,Kittles monster game saved me in the endQuote:

Unlucky in the first semi final, Succulent Llamas suffered from Spencer Wares late injury call off on Thursday.
Nightmare night for me last night, none of my Broncos or Texans players showed up. Saquon Barclay and Lamar Jackson need to bail me out or it's an allLlama final.
Is that me ruled out the final then 😉Quote:

I do believe my decision to pick up Williams as a Free Agent and slot him into my team at the start of the week was a good move, as was my faith that Coleman would come good again :greengrin
My semifinal wasn't even a contest:bitchy: Well done Llamas. I've been getting over a hundred points every week and yesterday none of my players showed up and i just scraped fifty! I still win the regular season though:na na:
Remember that year the Patriots went into a Superbowl 16-0? Yeah, the Giants won that year and I take no joy in our pre-Superbowl record :greengrinQuote:

I’m clinging onto the fact that the Panthers secondary just isn’t very good at all,think I’ve got too big an ask to catch you now thoughQuote:

The inaugural hibs.net Llamabowl takes place next week :thumbsup:
Commiserations Willis - that was a great contest, and probably the best game I've had all year. I took a complete gamble at the start of the week, picking up Mike Williams for my flex (as none of my options felt strong) and it's probably the reason I won.
Well played sir,Williams was an excellent pick up.Quote:

Delighted to accept my first ever fantasy league crown :greengrin

Congratulations Scott!
Yeah well done Scott. I enjoyed it this year.
I got an email about the league being ready to be activated for the 2019/20 season.
LET'S GO! :greengrin
Where's the Commish? Let's get our epic draft under way...
Who will I draft with no Gronk?!
Can i get back in this year? A champ cant lose his title if he never got to defend it 😉
I'm in, though can we do some kind of online draft with unlimited time? Ideally espn as its UI is better than the other ones I've tried
Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk
I'm definitely in again.
I'm down for it again
I like this idea... but I also like the official NFL fantasy league as the live points that come up during Redzone is the same. I'm easy ozie however.Quote:

Unless he's changed his username, I haven't actually seen Gatey online in quite some time?
Was on this afternoon at half one.Quote:

@Gatecrasher;
Let's Go! :greengrin
Any chance of me getting back in this year?
I'm beginning to think we're going to need to create a new league and identify a new commissioner at this stage, as Gatey is AWOL from these threads.Quote:

Hi Chaps, Gatecrasher has decided to down tools as league commissioner, unless there's any objections I'll take on the running of the league... Starting with numbers, I think so far we have as confirmed
Sylar
Lugz
Grammy
Nellio
Smithyhibee
Brythehibee
Haymaker
Calvin
Sergiosledge
Hibernianyank
NOLA
Myself
Ideas on drafting, keep it as it has been or try a radical new live draft?
I'm in again!
We can't have a league without Gatey, Ayrshire AND 'bollah. Come on 'bollah - you're one of the .net OGs!
I'm going to give it a miss this year lads. The previous two years have proved to me I have a chronic lack of knowledge beyond the Pack enough to keep me interested :greengrin
Have fun!
Count me in!Quote:

Every years draft is painful. But there is no pleasure without some pain, as Mrs Bollah reliably informs me.Quote:

Apologies for the delay in comms guys I've been on Holiday, at last count we were at 13 so will need 1 more unless there are any dropouts. It's looking like a dreaded offline draft unless we can all find a common ground for an online draft.
Will send out PM's once we reach an even number one way or another
Numbers?
If there is space, I would be up for this...
So that's 14,close it there?Quote:

Attendance guess for the Alloa game?
Think Gatecrasher used a random name selector tool to determine Draft order last year, happy to go with that?
PM's sent for league registration with the exception of Haymaker and Sylar,it wouldn't let me send to you.
New folk participating follow the instructions via the PM to register your teams,existing folk league id and password remains as it was.
Happy to go with idea of guess the alloa attendance to determine draft order but the threads a bit slow just now so chances of getting everybodys guess in by Saturday looks slim
Strange it didn't let you send to me, I've got a clear inbox?
I'll register up tomorrow.
Sorry, I had private messaging disabled for some reason. Fixed it now.
I think I'm already registered - I can see the league, but it does still contain Gatey's team I think, so it might just be a legacy league from last year?
I've reset my private messaging, so If you could fire me a reminder of the id and password, that would be great.
Random name generator to determine the order is fine by me. I've done sod all research this year, so I'll be winging it a bit this year :greengrin
Can we perhaps use similar ground rules for the draft as last year? 12 hours per pick, and if missed, end of the round. With 14 people, I don't want to use the 24 hours on the first round, as it could theoretically take 2 full weeks to get through that.
PM sent, players from last year have been removed leaving 2 free slots for 2 new players this year which is Lugz and stevefamou5Quote:

I'd favour an offline draft as my work schedule is funny (and I'm 5 behind) but I'm game for whatever. You guys helped me out last year so I'll go with whatever.
I’m already in the league! Don’t mind what the draft set up is, game for whatever rules apply
If its broken, don't fix it is the motto I go for when it comes to fantasy drafts.
This weekend good for everyone?
That's me all joined up, happy to go with the majority
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
