Just went back over the last few pages here in sports and seen this was attempted a couple of times over the years without any luck. I mentioned it it the main NFL thread but was right in the middle of the Brady suspension saga so kinda got lost. It's the most active thread in the sport section so surely we can get get 8-12 people to take part? Don't know if holdonecho still posts but he started the last one and another in 2010, @kitjenson posted in-between them too. spaneli and Let It Bleed also showed interest in joining as well as joeyfrancis and mar. ( NYR have you started doing them yet!?) I'm sure the regular posters in the main thread would be interested too. The likes of Lennon2217, @id1edreamer, kalas, Elie De Beaufour, Frodis, Sternumman maybe?? Also feel free to add your name to the list if interested. I don't mind setting up the league. Regular scoring and positions on NFL.com will be used. As we're all in different time zones a live draft won't work for everyone so can do an offline one as we still have 8/9 weeks till kick off. So who's game???....

MG stupid question: is it free to join? i'm not much of a fantasy player and will probably get my ass kicked, but if it will help you guys get the league off the ground then i'm in Yea it's free to play, it makes games more interesting I always find as you want certain players to preform well and others who are against you to do bad in matches you normally wouldn't follow.! Just finished setting up the league there so will send invite codes after lunch so you can log in and set your rosters. I'm no fantasy NFL expert myself but can run you through the basics that you need to know if you have any other questions The site itself always has loads of advice on what to do and you can ask question and get the public's advice on who to start/drop etc.

Here's a link to the league if you want a look first. A lot of things are customable so can change things around if needs be. Draft order and divisions will be randomised once we have enough players. Sending the code onto those that requested it above now live4ever.league.fantasy.nfl.com/

I know fuck all about fanatasy football, so I would be at a loss doing this.. Once you know the NFL players its handy enough. Basically you can let the computer draft for you and just pick your starting team each week (the players who you think will perform best from your squad). You can make trades with other players or pick up players who weren't picked. This league won't be full of sharks so should be an easy introduction into it if you want to join?

Sorry. I don't watch the NFL (and don't do fantasy). Have fun!

Thanks but I have to pass. Never been a fantasy fan. I know it makes other games more exciting butThe thought of rooting for players playing against my team to make points doesn't make sense to me. Hope you get enough people to join though.

Cheers man, it's not gonna be a super competitive league by the looks of it. I take it Kalas won't be participating so 6 spots left if anyone wants to jump on board? I'm opening it up to others now so league should be full by this time next week. Like sgtpepper anyone who is only getting into the game or getting back into it this a great way to get involved and keep interest throughout the season. Draft will be an autodraft according to your list a week before the first game. I'll post up the random order before if anyone wants to strategies their order.

no live draft? i know theres peeps from all over, but a saturday arvo US time (or wherever most of us are from) would still be semi-reasonable for those across the pond and beyond... no bother either way. looking forward to it.

We can try but I think it would fail to be honest. We have Oz, Ireland, UK and USA so far so would be tough getting everyone online at the same time really

Some slight changes to make the Defence a little more interesting for the league:
PAT Missed -1 Team Def 2-point Return 2 Blocked Kick 1 Less than 100 Total Yards Allowed 4 400-499 yards allowed -1 500+ allowed -2
One place left and then can do draft order.

Can still start this if people want to readjust their roster lists?
One team short but can fill it
