    Just to let everyone know, there is a discussion going on in the main Boards Fantasy Thread regarding proposed rule changes and voting details for next year. Just in case you don't drop into that thread much. It will likely be stickied, but just in case you wanted to have a read or weigh in on any of the proposals.

    For my playoff game I'm very much thinking of taking a chance and dropping Philip Rivers - who's been great all year (fantasy-wise) for all but one game. I'm tempted to slot new FA pickup Shaun Hill into my line up - but maybe I'm being too cute. Rivers is up against the Patriots this week, while Hill has a favourable matchup against Washington.

    Benching the Rams D and Bryant could have been costly moves...
    Going in to last night I was hoping Lacy and Cosby wouldn't net 30+ points between them and they racked up close to 40 to give you the win.

    Shame we came up against each other this week, with the other playoff game going 54.4 - 37.4

    I should be able to finish 5th anyway, if there's any inactives in a higher league I could still get promotion.

    .

    Yeah, i thought my goose was cooked after Sunday's games tbh. I recorded the monday nighter and watched tuesday morning, when Lacy went off in the first half I knew i had a chance.

    It is a shame when 2 high scores come up against each other but, I consider myself lucky as there were two even higher scores in the other game. Could easily be going home myself. It's been a very competitive league this year, the best i have taken part in and I think most if not all of the owners did a great job.

    Bryant and the Rams were 50/50 calls over Royal and the Lions (v Tampa), but in fairness you left a few point on the bench as well, so either of us came within a decision or two of winning.

    Shaun Hill, The Rams D and Mason Crosby all added to Bray Broncos at the last minute has dug me out the last two weeks. Mirroring the NFL, the hot team in the playoffs does well! luckily none of the real nfl teams have anything wrapped up yet and the spectre of rested players (stars) does not rear it's head.

    Fantasy can be a cruel mistress. Down by 10 with only Alshon Jeffrey left to play, he has 2 points 58 minutes into the MNF game between the Bears and Saints. Cue 10 points in the last minute of garbage time (down 31-7) to hand me the win in the semis. So a big apology to my opponent, points were very hard to come by last week - even more so if you have Philip Rivers as your starting qb.

    because i've been scoring 100+ points every week i decided gambled on a few new changes but my heavy hitters never turned up, sure i'm promoted anyway so i don't really care. 13-2 is still good. :D

    Yes, thanks to Kyle Orton playing like Andrew Luck, and Andrew Luck playing like Kyle Orton I scooped the prize this year.
    Bray Broncos MVPs for the year are Eddie Lacy and Alshon Jeffrey. They really poured it on in the business end of the season.

    I presume the draft will be after 3rd September right? I'm going on holidays on the 5th so I'll probably be on auto-draft.

    Adam, thanks for taking on responsibility of GM.

    Can I suggest we hold Draft Sunday 30-Aug or 6-Sept Week nights make it hard to attend as usually still in work and possibility of been away travelling.

    I assume we will hold vote but would like Sunday option included as option.

    Cheers

    I know there will be a vote and that will win out. But bear in mind 30th is an all Ireland Semi final day (thinking of Mayo and Dublin ppl)

    Weekend nights can be a dead duck with people's plans. Evening of a weekday between 31st and 4th ideal I'd hope

    Unfortunately, final squad cuts aren't until the Saturday and final waivers aren't processed until the Sunday which is why the draft is usually on the Monday-Wednesday.

    These are largely players who most people won't consider drafting however and I'll include the Sunday option if people feel they would like that. In any event we can't hold the draft before the final round of preseason games on the 3rd.

    Since this league is largely made up of those from last year's Div 6 I've kept the same set up on NFL.com and sent PM's to those from Div 5 who need to send me their NFL.com email addresses and usernames in order to be invited to the league. Once everyone is added we can go about choosing a draft date.

    Still waiting on one person to accept their invite to the league but we'll go ahead and sort the draft date anyway.

    Options are Sunday 6th - Wednesday 9th at either 7, 8, or 9 pm. Pick as many of the time slots which suit you and use your boards username to vote otherwise they won't be counted.

    Still waiting on five people to vote if FastFullback is going to abstain.

    As of this morning when Davetherave amended his vote it's looking like Sunday at 9 PM but both Tuesday and Wednesday at 9 are only a single vote behind.

    I voted for any time from Monday to Wednesday. I'm going to be watching the All Ireland Sunday and won't be near a computer or any internet until Monday so if it's Sunday evening I'm autodrafting as well (which, to be fair, would probably be better than me drafting)

    Yeah when I first voted I didn't read the labels properly and I thought that the dates were last Sunday to yesterday, not next week. I was away in England last weekend which is why I didn't have myself available on the Sunday but that is changed now.

    Hi Adam,

    When are you closing the poll? I say an NFL message from you today to say vote by Sunday? I assume that was a mistake and the vote will close either today or Saturday?

    Yeah I'll be closing it tomorrow afternoon/evening, thought that's what I had said!

    Anyone any ideas how to break a tie between two times by the way? Worst comes to worst I'll just flip a coin myself here but if anyone has any more transparent means of doing so feel free to suggest them!

    If it's a tie, go with the one I voted for.

    This method also works if there's not a tie.

    I didn't vote because I wasn't sure where to do it but Tuesday would suit me a lot better if it isn't too late to set it. It's fine if it's too late to change though.

    Week first 3 and last 3 are divisional games?

    We have a flex option too this year don't we?
