I'm voting for monday for the draft as thursdays tend to be my pub night
Whenever, as long as it's after 6 BST on weekdays. I'm Alan's Love Asylum btw
Cool, that's 4 for 9:30pm (UK TIME) on Monday night.
I'm cool with monday 9.30pm, just bump the thread on the day as a reminder please.
5 for Monday at 9:30pm!
Probably a stupid question, but how many rounds are there in the draft? And thanks for organising it all AC
You're welcome mate! 15 rounds. You get 90 seconds to pick your player.
i am good with monday too
Do we have to pick reserves as well, then? As I understand it a defensive pick is for a team only
In the draft you select any 15 players of your choice (as long as they're available, no one else has chosen them). All players are offensive players, and you pick a defence from one of the 32 NFL Teams.
Basically each week you select a team of..
1 x Quarter Back
2 x Running Backs
2 x Wide Receiver
1 x Running Back or Wide Receiver (you can choose either)
1 x Tight End
1 x Kicker
1 x Defence
.. from your squad of 15 players. The players not selected to play that week are on your bench.
My starting team from last year was..
QB - Drew Brees
RB - Michael Turner
RB - Michael Bush
WR - Victor Cruz
WR - Antonio Brown
RB/WR - Nate Washington
TE - Rob Gronkowski
K - Dan Bailey
DEF - SF 49ers.
Yep Monday's good for me too
Monday it is fellas!!
bump
Jerry Jones is a natural in front of the camera, compared to Robert Kraft.

Nearly draft time guys. Draft order will be completely random, picked by the computer approx 30 minutes beforehand.
I'm usually always last!! In my other 2 leagues this year, I've been last and second last. I think I deserve some luck!!
Theres a joke in there somewhere about first choice draft picks and Andrew Luck, but I'm far too lazy to articulate it
I drafted Andrew Luck in the the 9th round I think. He won't go early.
First pick in first round means last pick in the second round so it evens itself pretty much.
The draft order is selected 30 mins prior and the countdown to the draft itself should come up on the league's homepage.
And we're up.. I'm fifth.
fecking last!
I'm 3rd.
Sorry bro! You get first in the second round though.
I'm ninth but yeah, shouldn't mater too much. I picked something like 14th of 16 in the cricket draft and I won it, so it's not much of a handicap imo.
Pretty happy with my draft, any opinions?

Not bad, I was hoping to nab Sproles!
Here's my starting 9.
QB - Drew Brees
RB - Maurice Jones-Drew
RB - Steven Ridley
WR - Brandon Lloyd
WR- Wes Welker
TE - Aaron Hernandez
W/R - Percy Harvin
K - Steven Gostkowski
DEF - NE Patriots
I'm screwed during the Patriots bye-week!!

W/R - Percy Harvin
K - Steven Gostkowski
DEF - NE Patriots

How many touches will Sproles get? I picked Ingram in case he comes good. I think Schaub is a good pick, the Texans should do well and he's got all the time in the world behind that O line
Peyton's my QB with Luck as a back-up, should be interesting to see how they both get on. I fecked up picking Finley in the 6th as I had a brainfart thinking we could play two TEs (I picked Graham in the second) still, the bye week is sorted and I took a good TE off a board that doesn't have many!
Pats have agreed a new long-term deal with Hernandez. Great that now both the TEs are tied down to long deals but I'm not sure where this leaves Welker.
Slightly surprised Gaffney got cut, I expected Branch to be the one who lost out.

Alex Smith has now been waived. (fantasy)
Arghh completely forgot about this
You ended up with a damn good team on auto draft!

Has MJD signed yet or is he still holding out?
Still holding out, but he's too good to let slip in fantasy.
A lot riding on Vick but all things considering it's not too shabby
