Alright lads!

Anyone up for joining a new redraft league? Bit late notice, but be great if we could get 10+ teams in!

Open to starting requirement ideas but would suggest:

QB / RB / RB / WR / WR/ TE / FLX / FLX / 6 BENCH

Would be drafting on Thursday evening/night. Looking for active members preferably, hopefully get some craic and trades flying through the season!

gerryfed · 06-09-2017 9:33am

Have 3-4 interested so far! Any other takers?

LuckyLloyd · 06-09-2017 10:26am

I'll go another league sure

I'd suggest flex is WR / RB / TE if you're going double flex

Tis the season after all

Agreed. I was going to go RB/WR for one and RB/WR/TE for the other...?

I'd say both tbh*. Could lead to more interesting situations. I don't think anyone will ever be right to have three TEs rostered and starting, but you never know! :pac:

*That said, comfortable either way - up to your good self. Thanks for organising.

wong · 06-09-2017 11:42am

I'm in

gerryfed · 06-09-2017 12:46pm

Good stuff lads! We're up to 5 now. Would really like to get atleast 10 if possible. And we're going to have to draft on Thursday, starting sometime between 7pm and 10pm I guess. We can do a quick show of hands to decide the time!

Ah sure why not im in

gerryfed · 06-09-2017 2:14pm

Great stuff lads! Could you's PM me your email addresses when you get a chance? I will set up the league later or tomorrow when I know how many people we have!

Cheers

Hey I might be up for it. Is it ppr in any way?

Hmmm I wasn't going to bother to be honest... feels like people are force feeding us PPR everywhere we turn haha.

But if the majority wanted PPR, then I guess we could do 0.5 PPR

LuckyLloyd · 06-09-2017 3:31pm

Standard is fine by me, but PPR okay too.

gerryfed · 06-09-2017 6:30pm

Problem....

Doesn't look like you can draft on a gameday on NFL.com

Anyone any ideas?

And Yahoo lets you draft, but doesn't let scoring commence until the following week

LuckyLloyd · 06-09-2017 9:36pm

Do you have 10?

LuckyLloyd · 06-09-2017 9:38pm

Offline draft. Can set up the league and we figure some way of inputting a draft via chatroom or something tomorrow evening. You can then manually enter the teams.

gerryfed · 06-09-2017 9:48pm

Wouldn't be able to get an offline draft completed before tomorrows game though...

P Sheriff Manning 18 · 06-09-2017 10:10pm

Does espn work? If it's std I'll pass. Never liked it tbh and all I ever seem to find are std leagues, why I joined the ppr league here on boards

baby and crumble · 06-09-2017 10:12pm

Draft on Friday and just suck it up? Everyone is in the same boat anyway.

gerryfed · 06-09-2017 10:20pm

Good shout PSherrif, it looks like ESPN.com is fine with it (thank god)!

Let's go 0.5 PPR and call it a deal haha?

I'm all in then. Tmrw night then? 10 team did you say? With a regular flex and a te optional flex?

gerryfed · 06-09-2017 10:42pm

Yeah, drafting tomorrow night at 9pm on ESPN (can change if needed)

10-12 team depending on responses.

QB - RB - RB - WR - WR - RB/WR - TE - RB/WR/TE - 6 BENCH

0.5 PPR, 4 Points for passing TD, -2 for an interception, 6 points for a rushing/receiving TD

13 Gameweek season, top 6 go into winners bracket. #1 and #2 seeds get a bye in first round etc

Any other suggestions?

baby and crumble · 06-09-2017 10:53pm

Sounds great, just got the email there. Will set up!

LuckyLloyd · 07-09-2017 7:45am

Got setup there, thanks for organising

gerryfed · 07-09-2017 8:32am

6 confirmed so far, and I've sent PMs requesting email addresses from another 4-5 too.

I'd like to get it to 12 teams, but will settle for 10 if needs be!

Are we all OK with 6 bench spots by the way? Or should I make it 7? Just thinking out loud...

baby and crumble · 07-09-2017 9:08am

Tbh I'm happy with whatever.

LuckyLloyd · 07-09-2017 9:51am

6 is fine imo.

gerryfed · 07-09-2017 12:37pm

7 people have either signed up or just need to accept the league invite.

Looking for 3-5 more if anyone else is interested? Or if you guys know anybody? I have sent an email to 2-3 others too who expressed interest either here or on other boards pages.

Cheers

LuckyLloyd · 07-09-2017 1:07pm

We could rock with 8 bodies. Would be a very rich league player wise, but still fun

Hopefully we get 10 min all the same

TOss Sweep · 07-09-2017 2:50pm

I just replied to your pm busy in work and time difference screws me up sometimes

gerryfed · 07-09-2017 3:04pm

Cheers lads!

Up to 9 players now (either joined or invite sent). And waiting to hear back from Stev88 who is keen, plus 2-3 others I found on boards who may be interested.

So we'll have 10 anyways, and if we can get to 12 then even better!

If we have 10 players in the end, I'll make it 7 on the bench. Means people will be able to have more players, and then make people trade etc in theory I think. Any other rule/set-up suggestions, speak now or forever hold your peace

baby and crumble · 07-09-2017 3:15pm

Just something I'm sure you're aware of, the league has to be "full" an hour before the draft or else it won't go ahead- got an email to that fact this morning. Just in case you need to delete slots if they're not full by 8 tonight.

Jasondeans86er · 07-09-2017 3:16pm

by my count I would be no.9 so if you only get 9 I will drop out. J

TOss Sweep · 07-09-2017 3:20pm

You can add a 10th team to be a dummy team and just add a proper owner after the draft

gerryfed · 07-09-2017 3:23pm

No you're good mate! With you its 10, will send an invite now! Then Stev88 makes it 11. And i've got a pal who would play if needs be so we should be good for 12. But hopefully someone else responds here first.

And yeah, need it all confirmed before 8pm tonight alright, thanks!

LuckyLloyd · 07-09-2017 5:19pm

Just looking at the roster spots:

QB
RB
RB
WR
WR
TE
RB / WR
Flex (assume WR / RB / TE)
K
ST

Then six bench spots

That look like you intended?

You that's it! The usual set up, plus one open flex spot! That alright? Pretty common in custom leagues nowadays

LuckyLloyd · 07-09-2017 6:14pm

That's fine. Just make sure the open flex spot isn't QB, cause that's a very different beast altogether.

9 teams in - make it a 10 team league at this stage?

Would have liked to do a superflex but didn't think people would be keen so I left it.

Yeah, waiting on @wong to accept and that makes 10. Haven't heard back from Stev88 yet. Will leave it till 7.30 and then cut it off. More than likely will be 10 team though.

Still unsure whether to do 6 or 7 on the bench. Less talent on waivers means more trading, which I like... keeps everyone active and engaged...

LuckyLloyd · 07-09-2017 6:59pm

Go 7 sure, no biggie

gerryfed · 07-09-2017 7:00pm

LuckyLloyd wrote: »

Yeah just did there.

Top 4 make playoffs in week 15 and 16, yeah? Can't do top 6 in a 10 team league, seems ridiculous.

It's going to be a 10 team league WHEN wong accepts his invite

cutting it fine though!

LuckyLloyd · 07-09-2017 7:16pm

Yeah four from 10 perfect.

If he doesn't come back to you maybe create a throwaway email account and use that? You can pass over the email / account login details to him. Or to someone else if necessary

gerryfed · 07-09-2017 7:58pm

Lads, Wong has stopped responding to PMs now

I've added my old email to that account and am hoping to just let that autodraft. Not ideal but the show must go on I guess. Sorry for this, looked like it was all under control....

Draft is 9pm!

LuckyLloyd · 07-09-2017 8:01pm

We'll have a team for someone to grab in due course

gerryfed · 07-09-2017 8:05pm

Yeah just annoyed it's come to this haha. The draft window is now open if anyone wants to log on and find out their draft position! Spoiler: I'm 9th!

wong · 07-09-2017 8:38pm

Won't let me join man.

Sorry was at work, thought I had joined when I clicked the link.

Can I still get in?

I've sent you a new link to add you as a joint owner

wong · 07-09-2017 8:40pm

Cheers man, sorry about the inconvenience

wong · 07-09-2017 8:41pm

Just waiting on the email now

gerryfed · 07-09-2017 10:16pm

Cheers for tonight lads! As far as I'm aware, the league starts tonight (hopefully we've drafted in time)! Make sure to set your line ups if you have Pats or Chiefs!

Any questions, post here or PM me!
