    I'm good most nights from 9pm.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,354 ✭✭✭El Horseboxo


    Monday September 5th after 8pm would suit me best as it's Labor day here in the US and I'll be off. But I suppose any day after that can work once known a few days in advance.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,354 ✭✭✭El Horseboxo


    As most are saying any evening.

    Would it be better to through up a poll on a site like doodle (http://doodle.com/)

    Just ask everyone to only make 2 selections. Some said they can't do before 9PM. So maybe only give the choice of 9 as i imagine 10 might be a bit late on Irish time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 207 ✭✭Hairy Nipples 87


    I think the doodle is a good idea. Any night about 9pm Is good for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 146 ✭✭Pat the Patriot


    please vote for whatever day/times suit you best

    The league schedule has now been updated. The draft day/time poll is up & running & it will remain so until Fri 2nd Sep.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 146 ✭✭Pat the Patriot


    So it's looking like Thurs 8th Sep @ 9pm for our draft with the 1st game of the 2016/17 season kicking off later that night in Denver. 11 people have responded to the poll & it'll run until the end of this week before I lock in the date/time.

    Can you double check that this is ok on NFL.com? Previously if you set the draft for the day the season started your league would not start until week 2.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 146 ✭✭Pat the Patriot


    Understood ..... it looks like Wed 7th Sep @ 9pm may now emerge as the draft date/time of choice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 146 ✭✭Pat the Patriot


    I just checked the doodle poll for draft date/time (http://doodle.com/poll/w3q4tecxh2thz74x) & we have had 11 participants. The Date/Time that suits the majority looks to be Wed 7th Sep @ 9pm. I'll leave the poll open until Friday evening.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 146 ✭✭Pat the Patriot


    Poll is now closed ... & our draft will take place on Wed 7th Sep @ 9pm. Best of luck to everybody!!!

    I am very under-prepared for this, have not had time to look at rankings etc. Should be interesting

    This time last year I feel asleep for the premier division draft two minutes beforehand. And because I autodrafted I'm back here with the fine people of division 1. I never look at the rankings. I look at NFL.com fantasy experts and have an idea who I'll pick.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,642 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    Pick 14 in round one for me. I was hoping for a higher pick.

    I just got booted but managed to get back in.

    Hopefully the Draft Client works better than it did for the Keeper League.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,317 ✭✭✭HigginsJ


    QB - Joe Flacco (tempted to pick up Brock Osweiler as back up)

    RB - Lamar Miller & Rashad Jennings (Christine Michael is the only back up so bit of work needed here)

    WR - Jeremy Maclin, Donte Moncrief & Mike Evans (Stefon Diggs, Brandon LaFell, Breshad Perriman & Steve Smith are back up at present, one or two will have to go to make way for Osweiler and an RB)

    TE - Julius Thomas - He is my tip for bounce back player this year so had to go with him really

    Def - Giants will start this week against Prescott

    K - Will pick one up and drop the Jags D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,642 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    Yeah near the seventh round the app went to ****e for me.

    My Team

    QB: Derek Carr, Andy Dalton
    RB: Chris Ivory, Eddie Lacy,Bilal Powell, Shaun draughn
    WR: Emmanuel Sanders, Anquan Boldin, Tajae Sharpe, Dorial Green Beckham, Justin Hardy
    TE: Gronk
    K: Graham Gano
    DEF: Vikings.

    I might be a bit WR heavy with five and only one TE. I'm open to opinions on my team good or bad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 146 ✭✭Pat the Patriot


    I had the 4th pick & went with David Johnson (ARZ) RB... I reckon he's going to have a monster year as part of a high powered offence.

    The Nastys
    QB - Big Ben (PIT)
    RB - D Johnson (ARZ), M Forte (NYJ)
    WR - M Floyd (ARZ), TY Hilton (IND), J Matthews (PHI)
    TE - J Cook (GB)
    K - D Hopkins (WAS)
    DEF - Cardinals

    BENCH
    RB - C Johnson (ARZ), TJ Yeldon (JAC)
    WR - J Kearse (SEA), R Matthews (TEN)
    TE - V McDonald (SF)


    My draft recap e-mail from NFL.COM this morning seemed pretty positive about my draft. Here's hoping it actually translates into success during the season ;-)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 146 ✭✭Pat the Patriot


    I love having football back !!! I need Big Ben & Dustin Hopkins to come through for me on Monday night to pick up the win in my matchup vs The Adrian Beatersons!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,800 ✭✭✭Benimar


    I've started 0-2. Petersen and Stewart look injured.

    Anyone trading a RB??!!!
