Any interest in a franchise league?

Mr_Man2121

I know this is early. Was just wondering if anyone would be interested in starting up a franchise fantasy football league

BarryC21

I'm not entirely sure what that is....like a dynasty league where we keep the same teams going over numerous seasons?

Yes

BarryC21

Yep, sign me up!

baby and crumble

Yeah, actually, that'd be cool. Something different.

Mr_Man2121

8+ people would be the goal but we still have 5 months left

Wormy001

I would also be interested if this was happening. Makes for a more interesting league.

D9Male

Yes please.

BarryC21

Great stuff - we're up to 5!

The Good Ole Boys

I would like to play this too. If it is possible?

Mr_Man2121

6 people now.

jester1980

what site do you use?

id be interested if on nfl.com

brinty

Hi all, so is this effectively a dynasty league? I'm not in one with anyone of you so this would be fun. What platform are you thinking of using? NFL, ESPN, Fleaflicker, MFL or Yahoo? Used most of them already so i'm familiar with them. Would this be an IDP league? I'm a fan they're more immersive than just a D unit. Would you use the groupme app for banter and chats or would that be out?

Xavi6

Keen if it's on nfl.com

BarryC21

NFL.com for me. Not sure about IDP in a dynasty league. Was in an IDP league last year and they’re a bit more work, not sure it’s worth it.

Idp is the fun part of it

Most people seem to want NFL.com. didn't even think about fleaflicker. It Would be an IDP league

Pretty sure there's no IDP on NFL unless it's changed recently.

BarryC21

I was in an IDP league there on NFL.com last year, worked pretty well!

If we're up to 10 people, should we form the league now or try to get to 12? I think I might know somebody interested...

All sounds good to me! Just voted there thanks!

DM1292

I've voted 16. It's a dynasty league, meaning it'll be full of youthful talent so players will have good and bad years. I honestly don't mind how many there are though.

Listen, I'm not as much of a boards user as I once was, I only ever really use it to communicate with people about the NFL and anyway. So, going forward I'm sorry if I'm late to reply, I'm still interested of course. I'll be sure to keep checking in.

No problem. We won't be starting for 3-4 months anyway

D9Male

I also voted 16, should give a bigger sense of community.

When we thinking of drafting? Not sure when best to do it for a dynasty league? Last week in August?

Start the draft post the nfl draft and can have a whole summer of trading.

Trading for me is the most fun part of dynasty

Mr_Man2121

What day(s) of the week and time(s) best suits everyone?

What brinty said was a good idea, we'll do it after the real NFL draft which is from the 25-27th of April.

D9Male

After 9pm Irish time most evenings suits me best.

The Good Ole Boys

7pm to 10pm most weeknights for me

BarryC21

If we’re looking at May some time, yeah probably Tuesdays or Wednesdays around 20:00 or 21:00. I’m assuming everyone is on Irish time!?

jester1980

just setup a poll like they do on other boards leagues, that way majority rules and ytou cant have people giving out

The Good Ole Boys

The majority takes away the rights of the others. Mob rule.

Ok, but it's going to be difficult to find a date that suits everyone without at least gauging who can do when...

BarryC21

People are always going to give out, we're on an internet forum...I'm almost sure that the entire reason these things were set up was for people to give out...and organise fantasy football of course!

D9Male

I can't agree with that sentiment.

The Good Ole Boys

A pool is a good idea. But we must try and fit everyone in. If possible.

Yep in dynasty everyone needs to be available cos in the initial draft you can be set back years and especially with IDP if be your team is auto picked
There's lots of time post draft to do it before we start the season

connmcgrath

I'd be interested in joining if there's still space!

No, I'm +7. If the draft time doesn't work someone else can take my spot.

We MUST find a way to fit you in. I am sure it can be done.

You can join no problem.

What time suits you Xavi6 in your local time?

Xavi6

Morning/afternoon Irish time is best but again, don't try suit one person for the draft. I always auto draft with my main team in the Boards league and haven't been relegated from the Premier Division yet!

DM1292

Anytime after 7.30pm works well for me during the week, folks.

Also, will the league incorporate rookies only or all players that are eligible? So, for example Barkley, Beckham & Adams are available for selection as are Murray, Metcalf & Jacobs.
