    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!

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,399 ✭✭✭✭LuckyLloyd


    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.

    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!

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 691 ✭✭✭gerryfed


    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,399 ✭✭✭✭LuckyLloyd


    Standard is fine by me, but PPR okay too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 691 ✭✭✭gerryfed


    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 :/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,399 ✭✭✭✭LuckyLloyd


    Do you have 10?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,399 ✭✭✭✭LuckyLloyd


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 691 ✭✭✭gerryfed


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


  • Registered Users Posts: 36 P Sheriff Manning 18


    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,512 ✭✭✭baby and crumble


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 691 ✭✭✭gerryfed


    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?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 691 ✭✭✭gerryfed


    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?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,512 ✭✭✭baby and crumble


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,399 ✭✭✭✭LuckyLloyd


    Got setup there, thanks for organising


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 691 ✭✭✭gerryfed


    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...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,512 ✭✭✭baby and crumble


    Tbh I'm happy with whatever.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,399 ✭✭✭✭LuckyLloyd


    6 is fine imo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 691 ✭✭✭gerryfed


    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,399 ✭✭✭✭LuckyLloyd


    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

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 691 ✭✭✭gerryfed


    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 :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,512 ✭✭✭baby and crumble


    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. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 257 ✭✭Jasondeans86er


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,905 ✭✭✭TOss Sweep


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 691 ✭✭✭gerryfed


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

    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!

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,399 ✭✭✭✭LuckyLloyd


    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...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,399 ✭✭✭✭LuckyLloyd


    Go 7 sure, no biggie

    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!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,399 ✭✭✭✭LuckyLloyd


    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 691 ✭✭✭gerryfed


    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!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,399 ✭✭✭✭LuckyLloyd


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 691 ✭✭✭gerryfed


    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!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 516 ✭✭✭wong


    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 516 ✭✭✭wong


    Cheers man, sorry about the inconvenience


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 516 ✭✭✭wong


    Just waiting on the email now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 691 ✭✭✭gerryfed


    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!
