Jesus I didn't realise I did quite as bad as that last year...

F*ck Todd Gurley and all he stands for. :P

Could of done worse like me! I seem to have fantasy amnesia. I remember being unlucky in a few matches but finishing bottom of a 16 man league is a woeful showing which no excuse can justify. This year can only get better...

Based on the other thread, it looks like I'm now in Division 5 this season. Are we just using this thread?

Yeah think it's the norm to just revive the thread when the new season starts. Welcome to division 5

maverick_21 · 10-08-2017 8:48am

Looks like I'm in division 5 this year a well. Any idea when the draft will take place? Thanks

adrian522 · 10-08-2017 4:59pm

The GM will setup a poll to decide the draft date and time. We usually aim for the week between the end of preseason week and the kickoff of week 1.

Beefy78 · 14-08-2017 2:18pm

Hi lads, I was away at the weekend so am slightly behind some of the other leagues. If you are new to Div 5 could you send me a PM with your email address please so I could add you to the League. I'll send chasers in a couple of days if I don't hear back.

Beefy78 · 15-08-2017 7:24am

Invites sent, just waiting on three people.

hots · 15-08-2017 7:29am

Cheers, can't wait for the season to kickoff... This is my only hope for glory this year, don't think the Jets will do me any favours!

Ryan Fitzpatrick had great fun losing a few games for me last season! Least he's not your problem this season

Beefy78 · 16-08-2017 9:33pm

Ok we've 14 sign ups and I've chased the other two. Can we start thinking about timeslots for the draft?

Assuming we want to go for the week before the season and assuming that an evening will be the way to go let me put forward the below suggestions. Can you let me know if you have a strong preference for one and also if there are ones that you CANNOT do.

Thursday 31st August Evening
Friday 1st September Evening
Saturday 2nd September AM
Sunday 3rd September AM
Sunday 3rd September Evening
Monday 4th September Evening
Tuesday 5th September Evening
Wednesday 6th September Evening
Thursday 7th September Evening (that's the day the season starts)

I can't do Friday 1st but should be good for the others.

phatkev · 16-08-2017 10:12pm

The Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday would probably suit me best. I wouldn't be able to do the weekend at all.

I'd be strongly for Monday 4th or any of the the weekends slots.

I'm over in the States so I'd struggle to do the other weekdays as it would be in the middle of the day here (Monday 4th is a bank holiday)

baby and crumble · 17-08-2017 6:54am

Might be easier to set up a doodle poll just to keep track? Also what do you mean by evening or am? Those are pretty wide windows, like.

I cannot do Monday 4th but depending on times the others should be ok.

hots · 17-08-2017 7:37am

I should be fairly flexible, I would be in favour of having it as early as possible though, the closer to Day 1 the drafts are the more nfl.com seems to struggle. Would prefer not the Monday or Tuesday if it can be avoided.

Frisbee · 17-08-2017 7:59am

Monday or Wednesday work for me.

I think first step is to see which 'wide windows' might be workable then we can get a poll setup to finalise.

Is everyone other than Foxtrol in this timezone?

Cool beans.

Yep, I'm in Dublin.

Same here

Beefy78 · 17-08-2017 10:55am

Cheers lads, if anyone ISN'T in the timezone they can just shout out.

If we go for an evening what sort of time works best or is that going to be dependent on which evening we go for? If we settle on a start time (8pm?) then that should make the rest a bit easier.

Knex* · 17-08-2017 11:09am

I'm at EP Friday 1st - Monday 4th, so it'll have to be after that for me. Unless we get this done in the next two weeks.

maverick_21 · 17-08-2017 11:11am

Thursday, Tuesday or Wednesday for me thanks

AdamConnor7 · 17-08-2017 6:49pm

I can do any evening anytime after 7pm would suit me

billr67 · 19-08-2017 12:20am

Most evenings after 8 are fine for me. Monday's are best though.

kopite davo · 21-08-2017 12:03am

email sent.
i should be good any night but pref 9pm. need kids in bed!!!

Frisbee · 21-08-2017 8:05am

Later the better works for me.

Marcus Antonius · 22-08-2017 8:17am

Monday 4th September Evening or Tuesday 5th September Evening or Wednesday 6th September Evening would suit me best. Away on holidays until the 2nd with limited access to the internet, would rather not be attempting to draft on my phone!

Beefy78 · 22-08-2017 8:37am

Ok thanks for the feedback lads. I'll set up a poll later today to finalise the date and time.

Beefy78 · 24-08-2017 9:00am

Never set up a Doodle poll before so hope I've done this right. Please vote when you can attend and we'll go with the most popular.

hots · 24-08-2017 9:33am

Done

fatgav · 24-08-2017 12:53pm

Evenings are usually ok for me but not too late please? I've a 6:00 alarm for work. 8:00 or 8:30 works well

phatkev · 28-08-2017 11:08pm

Are we any closer to deciding a draft date? I'm probably going to have to juggle around some shifts at work, so I'd need to know pretty soon.

genericgoon · 29-08-2017 9:09am

Based on the poll (14/16 participants completed), Wednesday will be the draft day with 9 pm (12/14 votes) most likely unless both remaining people vote for 7pm (10/14 votes) to create a tie.

I'd call it by tomorrow whatever is in the lead tbh, makes it easier for people to make sure they're around / start studying for it

Beefy78 · 29-08-2017 12:44pm

It looks like next Wednesday but we'll give it until midnight tonight to see if the vote changes.

Beefy78 · 30-08-2017 6:57am

Draft is Wednesday 6th at 9pm

baby and crumble · 30-08-2017 7:33am

Cheers Beefy!

Knex* · 30-08-2017 1:30pm

Great stuff. Looking forward to it!

Beefy78 · 04-09-2017 5:57pm

Right, divisions and match-ups are set as are point/rules for the league.

The draft is set for Wednesday at 9pm. 14 of 16 said they could make that time so hopefully we get a good attendance but if you can't make it for any reason then you can go online at any point until then and play around with your draft board and rankings so hopefully you get at least a few players who you want.

baby and crumble · 04-09-2017 5:58pm

Looking forward to it now- please god let me not have a repeat of last year when my first 2 selections bombed and bombed HARD.

billr67 · 04-09-2017 6:05pm

Is the draft order random?

Beefy78 · 04-09-2017 6:33pm

Yep, set to random and isn't revealed until 30 minutes before the draft.

Marcus Antonius · 06-09-2017 7:31pm

Hmmpphhh always in the bloody middle of the draft! Best of luck to ya'll

Frisbee · 06-09-2017 7:40pm

#15

I'll be on but not sure how much attention I'll be paying. Was supposed to be going Dolphins/Bucs on Sunday but that's now cancelled and so is flight into Miami so in customer service hell trying to get everything re-scheduled

Beefy78 · 07-09-2017 7:03am

Oh **** mate that sucks

Marcus Antonius · 07-09-2017 2:01pm

Yeah, sorry to hear that Frisbee. Hope ya managed to get it sorted and that the draft went ok for ya.

kopite davo · 12-09-2017 10:23am

only just noticed the 3rd w/r spot doesn't have the choice of wr/rb.

Beefy78 · 12-09-2017 10:29am

Yeah that's a thing in this league. No flex option.

kopite davo · 12-09-2017 12:30pm
