I played NFL.com's 2 years ago and ESPN's last year... Both were good, but a lot of the things offered on the ESPN site was stuff that you needed to pay for..

But I would 100% be interested in playing a boards league, bit more fun beating people you can talk to..

dulpit

Looking at the features available, the ESPN one this year looks good, you can create a keeper league, so we could have same league over a number of years...


If we get interest I (or someone else) could create it...

We need 12 people by the way...

I've used Yahoo's the last couple of years. Pretty good

tallaghtoutlaws

Here setup a league Boards League all welcome. Yahoo one is pretty good. Dulpit normally use ESPN myself but this year the software they use is full of glitches. Hopefully they fix it.

much better than nfluk

I have to disagree with all of you and say that Fox Sports offer the best system. I just love their live scoring system and the best thing is that you aren't hassled every four seconds asking you to sign up for extended features like you are on ESPN!

dulpit

Ok, so how about everyone makes a decision of which one to play on? I tried playing 2 different ones last year, didn't work... So if we can get a short list (so far, ESPN, Yahoo, NFL.com, NFLUK.com & FoxSports) we could set up a poll or something, and have an "Official Boards league" or something

The Sparrow

i`ve never played NFL Fanntasy Football before but I`d be up for playing a boards league.

tallaghtoutlaws

Sign up to the yahoo one by the time everyone decides the season will have started yahoo one we use in work and on the IAFL one also good laugh good setting simple to use. Easy for newbies to understand also.

heyjude

I just joined with 'The Dominators'

tallaghtoutlaws

12 more players needed if we can't I will see if I can drop number.

kensutz

I'm in.

Dr.Slurm

I just joined with The Lightning Colts. Should be good fun. Is there any way you could change the draft to the Sunday cos I know I won't be there on that Saturday. I'll just set the rankings if you can't.

Chucky the tree

What date is the draft?

We have 11 so far so we can go with 12 once one more joins and I will set the Draft date or we can wait for maybe another 5 to get 16. What you guys think. Im thinking stop at 12.

Vikings

12 sounds good, just enough competition and allows people to have better teams without going too in depth to pick up the sleepers and such.

Draft Sunday 9pm Irish Time

dulpit

Any chance of switching that to an earlier time? Kinda won't be available around then...

Dodge

Time suits me. Any earlier and I can't make it.

evil_seed

what's the draft order gonna be? shouldnt the draft be after preseason?

tallaghtoutlaws

Draft after preseason is unavailable as too many people have same idea. Makes no difference anyway as the pre-season is only to give guys a run out.

Only decent available times are late evening as during the day alot more guys are unavailable.

The draft order is set automatically 30 minutes before draft.

If the majority tell me when they are availble I will change it too suit the majority.

dulpit

Anytime over weekend really, but i live away from home for summer, so don't have a PC, so if it is on sunday, would need to be early enough (so i can go home, do it and head back to my house...)

tallaghtoutlaws

Dulpit Saturday at 9pm or Sunday as originally sheduled or midweek late as people work. Unfortunately like myself too early means the majority cant do it as they work.

tallaghtoutlaws

Draft started im in on my own it seems never got home in time to change the time.

Good thing is with such a small league the selection of good players was spread.

Dodge

Reasonably happy with my team.

dulpit

I think I'm happy with my team... Here it is (Starters in bold):

QB:
Marc Bulger (STL)
Matt Shaub (HOU)

RB:
Brian Westbrook (PHI)
Joseph Addai (IND)
DeAngelo Williams (CAR)

WR:
Roy Williams (DET)
Lavearanues Coles (NYJ)
Mark Clayton (BAL)
Mushin Muhammad (CHI)
Jerry Porter (OAK)

TE:
Kellen Winslow (CLE)
Owen Daniels (HOU)

K:
David Akers (PHI)

DEF:
San Diego Chargers
Atlanta Falcons


Opinions??? Dunno who to start @ WR, going with the default for now...

tHE vAGGABOND

Very happy with my team, bit of a 49er bias, but what can you do you have to be a bit loyal [I think Vernon Davis is going to have a gigantic season, now he will have a full season under his belt, and we have a more confident offence, people keeping an eye on Gore should give him space]

The starters are generally on top, but not really had a look yet, dont know one or two of them, so will do some research first

QB:
Vince Young [Ten]
Chad Pennington [Jets]

RB:
Frank Gore [SF]
Jamal Lewis [Cle]
Ladell Betts [Was]

WR:
Marvin Harrisson [Indy]
Darrel Jackson [SF]
Bernard Berryman [Was]
Derrek Mason [Bal]
Marty Brooker [Mia]

TE:
Vernon Davis [SF]
Eric Johnson [NO]

Def:
Baltimore
Buffalo

Kicker:
Jason Ealam [Den]


I see no one took Michael Vick, thats a shock eh, he really has gone to the dogs
[I'll get my coat]

evil_seed

anyone pick randy moss?

Dodge

He was picked in the first couple of rounds. Some user went on a mad one. Think he picked Brady No 1, then Moss, then Adam Viniteiri, then the Chicago defense

Bold strategy (and this user was 2nd choice)

Vikings

Considering I missed the draft i'm happy enough with my team, got Shaun Alexander, Larry Fitz, Hines Ward... good few big names.

Pretty happy with my team. Would have liked Anthony Gonzales as a Colts fan but maybe I can sort out a trade with whoever got him.

Wondering who would you guys start, Edge or Jacobs?

I like the look of that team Dulpit, full of Stud Fantasy players nd I would stick with the guys you highlighted at WR

Mustangs had 4th pick I do believe. If he had 1st im sure LT would have went first. I do believe the 1st was LT 2nd Manning 3rd Tom Brady Hence why Mustangs got Alexander so far down the order.

Woops... For some reason I read it that LT was his RB.... haha... Who took Brady so high??? Very odd choice...
