I'd love to do a dynasty league, it would be good fun I think.

I'm also a fan of the offline draft, partly because I don't think I'd be able to set aside the time to set up my draft order and also complete a live draft unless it was between 9pm and 12am one night once the kids, and wife, are in bed..... Could it be completed in 3 hours?

I have to say I've enjoyed the 16 team league this year, it made me more inclined to offer trades as I knew I couldn't just pick up someone off the waivers. It puts more emphasis on good drafting, but it is pretty hard to change things if you are struggling. If we could drum up 6 - 8 more players then we could do two 12 team leagues next year, some of us could put two teams in, I'd be willing to go for a second team.

My work draft was completed in 36 minutes. All you need to do is print out a cheat sheet or two from your favourite fantasy football site, pick the players you want and then join the online draft. As players get picked, strike them off your cheat sheet. You can also participate in mock drafts to get an idea of what round certain players will be picked in so you can time your picks perfectly. For example, why pick Tom Brady in the first round when he is typically getting picked in round six? Of course mock drafts are not perfect, they're just a useful tool to help you,

Good drafting is obviously important but you can't predict injuries. If you you lose any of your first picks early on to injury, you're in trouble since sleepers don't really show their value until a few weeks have passed making wavier wire pickups risky (but also you're only option).

So far we have

• Dynasty League
• Split the league in 2
• Keep the 16 team league
• online draft
• offline draft
• more people and have 2 bigger leagues (10-12 people)

Have I missed anything?

I think we could get a Dynasty League going, a lot of people seem to be for it and it would free up a lot of players into FA.
Would we carry on from what we have now ot have the Dynasty league seperate?

I wake up this morning to find out that Eddie Lacy is doubtful for the game at the weekend, perfect timing.... I've picked up his back-up off FA, so hopefully There'll be a clear decision before Sunday so that I can make the change if required.

I think he was pulled out of the last game because of a sore hip but he's been training, I would expect him to play but I wouldn't be surprised if he and starks shared the load as they've been doing that a lot this season.

There's nothing to separate me and No Romo in the early projections - meaning I'm probably in line for a humping this week!

I'm happy with a dynasty league, also willing to play in multiple leagues if there's an online draft.

Can I ask - do enough of you honestly know enough about the players coming out of the college system to fully work a dynasty league?

Am I right in thinking a dynasty league would mean my team as it is right now, is the one I start with next season, or would we all draft anew next year with those players becoming 'ours'?

No we'd have to draft again with a view to it being a dynasty league as the value of players would be different. I think like any league, you learn as you go along - I couldn't have told you the Rams' running back depth chart at the start of the year but after this season I'm the world's foremost expert!

A dynasty team sound difficult. I would hate to be stuck with the team I have now longer than 1 season.

I think you get to choose to keep 2 or 3 players, not the whole team. There would still be a draft every year for the rest of your team.

Yeah sack that, even though I'm somehow in with a chance this year, I wouldnt wont this team for next year. If we were drafting for a dynasty team it would have been a totally different draft.

[NOLA]

iv been interested in a dynasty league for awhile, excited about this opportunity to draft T-rich and keep him for a few years unless i manage to trade him away for a 1st rounder

[hibsbollah]

I think we need a poll with various options for next season; 16 team or 12, live or .net stylee draft, dynasty or not, or keep it unchanged from this year.

No that's a keeper league. A dynasty league is where you keep your whole team - allowing for any new players you draft the following year.

If we do a dynasty league, which there seems to be an appetite for, then we would have to do a new draft and not keep the teams we have at the moment.

would need to be a new draft. Would still be interested in the normal league too.

If we do a dynasty league and I end up before you in the draft, Gronk will be gone

I don't think you need to know about college football. I very much doubt that people are going to draft rookies with the plan on benching them and playing them next year - there isn't enough space on the bench to hold onto many spare players. The good thing about dynasty leagues, if I understand them correctly, is that you can keep players from one year to the next. That means if you find a diamond in the rough during the season (perhaps off the waiver wire) you can hold onto that player next year. That's the thing I like about it but I need to read more.

EDIT: I thought Keeper and Dynasty leagues were the same but that's not the case so the more football knowledge you have the better - if you're building a team for years to come.

Right. Who knows, you might be able to trash your whole team. I don't know, it could be a setting. I know you're not stuck with the same crappy team. If that was the case then nobody would play in a dynasty league since only a few people per league actually end up with a good team.

So which 4 players are getting ditched then? Like I said before, I like the 16 team league and hope it stays the way it is. Not fussed about the draft. Like the 3 week format we have just now but if most folks want to do a live draft then I'm fine with that. Gotta have a timer on it though, say maybe 1 min per pick. Dynasty draft, I'm not to sure on. I think maybe some folks are getting mixed up between a dynasty and a keeper league. Keeper league where we keep say 3 players each year sounds better to me and we could run that from this year.

I don't think anyone is saying people should be ditched from the league.

I'll put it out there then for next year...

16 team regular league as we normally have.

10/12 team dynasty league for those interested. Going by the fact that some people say don't fancy it and others seem to. I'm quite happy to research our options for said league if there's interest.

Plenty of time to organise details for both of them. Other people may have better ideas.

Yeah I know no one is saying it but it stands to reason that if we cut the league from 16 to 12 that 4 teams would miss out.

I think someone suggested two twelve team leagues - extending an invite to new players or people having secondary teams. I can't see where anyone said cutting the 16 teams to 12.

[Sylar]

This is going to be a veritable shoot-out tonight!

Jay Cutler and Jimmy Graham vs Martellus Bennett and Kenny Stills - < 3 point lead, so I'm hoping for a Bears romp or for Jimmy Graham to finally come alive!

By contrast, Kyle will be hoping for 'Brees to Stills, TOUCHDOWN!' all night long
