Ah here, on the 21st of October Cloonnabinnia wanted my Blake Bortles for his Peyton Manning. I guess he must have dumped Manning off to Heisenberg because now he wants my Blake Bortles for his Peyton Manning. I'll tell you the same thing I told Cloonnabinnia

Come back with a decent offer and not someone who has less than half the points and is past it, for my awesome young stud who has the better rest of season rate.

I'm open to trades but you can fcuk right off with offers like that.

davetherave, we are at part of season weer people stay not paying attention to Fantasy Football. Although hoping as I move up division, teams with losing records still play week in week out.

I was just chancing my arm with Manning for Bortles Trade in case you do not follow NFL and may not be aware Manning out for weeks (possible season as starter) and just recognize his name and history and think it good.

Was told to randomise divisions with new teams. Which I also think was good idea as weekly fixtures ( also manually) set up are designed to ensure more inter-division matches

How so?

Won't apologise for trying to take advantage of a potentially non informed manager. Not sure how into NFL all 16 members are here and follow it week to week. Based on fantasy drafting and play some managers do not and are not up to date on latest injures, suspensions etc. If one of my high profile players get injured or caught breaking banned substance rules I will try and trade asap and avoid waiver wire.

There is no rule that a potential trade has to be equal for all parties. All division members have ability to potentially veto a trade and all trades will be brought to entire divisions attention. If it was easy to know who is going to play great week in week out then the projections would not be so wrong each week.

That would be fair enough if we were in div 7 or 8 but you have to imagine those in div 3 will see it as a piss take and as a result, just refuse to deal with you

This is the problem, there's people complaining in the Boards thread every year about how they're the only one ever proposing trades and noone will even discuss them etc. but bar one I think I've only ever got propositioned with stupid trades that there's no point in even countering because they're so lopsided to begin with.

As league commissioner over the years for most of you I've only ever seen one of the lopsided ones go through and tbh I probably should've overruled it but I just decided to draw the whole leagues attention to it by email and boards and say when it needed to be voted on by if anyone had a problem with it.

I have a dynasty league that is very active all year round with trades. The most active guy has been black losted by most of the league cause he keeps starting with ridiculous low ball ****. If someone lowballs stupidly why would the other party bother to counter? If people stop sending stupid lowball offers there would be more activity.

Try going into a trade with the mindset of improving both teams, you dont need to "win" every time.

keithdelahunty

It's the 16 team league structure that stops trades I think as very little value on waiver wire. 224 players already on teams does not leave room for anyone to trade and away even a WR3 and pick up quality on waivers

BKWDR

Agreed on all counts but I can see Keith's point.
In fairness we've been playing this league for a few years now together
I'm gonna defo try utilize the waiver wire and trade block better this year

Just hope that people stay active

In fact if someone is just not active at all I move that they be booted back to a lower division next year

I've done two on it already and it's not that bad, the app itself is a pain but the draft applet is pretty sweet.

It is unlikely I can make the draft tomorrow night now so I will have it set to autodraft and have my preferences edited. Gutted but then again might work out better for me. I always overthink the draft.

Agree with you on that. The app was much better last year, this is very buggy, hope they can fix it in the next few days, but chance are slim...

Ttied to do a draft on app last night. Wouldnt allow me. Said the draft was live but when i clicked on it said waiting for draft to fill. Tried to access a different way but would only allow me to go into a mock

Reminder Draft tonight

Draft order will be randomised by nfl.com 30mins before draft start.

As of now I believe 14/16 managers will be drafting live with only 2 (The Peeping Thomlonsons and Heinsberg Men) setting up Auto Draft.

Best of luck to everyone

keithdelahunty

Gutted not be available for draft, have changed by draft auto order and strategies id say 15times over weekend.

decies

Did a live draft on managed league last night on I phone fantasy app. Said waiting too full for ages , I went to safari on I pad to look at full fantasy site to discover the draft was in the third round !! Try do your draft on full site so is advice !!

curry-muff

It's a bit dodge alright. Doing an uninstall and reinstall fixed that for me though, must have been a problem with the latest update if you had the app for a while.

I'll stick to phone tonight worked fine last night in my friends league.

7th, bleh!!!

Crap. Can't seem to get into the draft client. Disaster.

Really annoyed by this, says it's a problem with the network, which is a university connection. Fair enough but when I tested it earlier the draft client said it's fine. Pretty much half the craic of the whole season is the draft. Would have been nice to at least set a draft order or something, make sure I don't end up drafting a kicker in round 2 or whatever. **** you NFL.com

On the other hand, with my record, I'm probably better off...and now I have about two hours free...

BKWDR

App and life got in the way of drafting.

I'm on holidays so I'm sitting here in fear of what the auto draft will bring. I just pre set the positions so I'm not taking a kicker in the 5th.
