    The site does it randomly. I run anotehr one with other mates for the past few years. You get to see the order 30mns before the start of the draft

    Deadmou5e has been sitebanned so not sure if you'll be hearing from him/her.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,427 ✭✭✭Shedite27


    Thanks, anyone want to replace them? Otherwise we’ll just cap it at 14 with the first one of Spearmint or tomreikly to enter

    The 3 lads in bold haven’t been on boards in 2 weeks so unlikely to be entered before the draft tomorrow. So we either
    1. Play with the 12 currently entered (real McCoy was struggling for time anyway)
    2. Real McCoy enters by 3pm tomorrow and someone finds another to make it 14 (I may have a potential)

    I think 12 is a fine number


    11 regular season games followed by 3 playoff weeks?

    real McCoy in now, anyone want to take the 14th spot? Otherwise I’ll set that team to auto draft and let the system manage it

    Hi, sorry, just read this properly. I'm mayo raiders and I'm DL.

    Looking forward to the draft.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,543 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    At what time does the draft room open? Looking to actually get in via the web based version


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,543 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    Scratch that, I'm in, and would appear I've been given first pick.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    11th. Ugh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,543 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    Assume everyone has paid up in advance? Wonder will we have everyone on or whether autodrafting will become a thing


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,672 ✭✭✭ScummyMan


    7th for me, not ideal.

    Too late to start rumours of a McCaffrey injury dropping his value? :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    Well, that was exhausting. 11th kinda forced me into getting Kelce where I'd hoped to go RB RB, so don't really like the team structure too much

    Same, ended up going WR/TE/WR

    I had 1 indecisive moment where I missed a pick and got gifted a kicker earlier than I would have liked

    Green&Red - Wouldn't let me comment on the trade. I'm gonna probably regret it but I'll stick with Rodgers. Surely he has a chip on his shoulder with the whole Love situation? :pac:

    Its a very lumpy site, on two occasions I ended up drafting the wrong player , hence looking for the trade with you Irish!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,427 ✭✭✭Shedite27


    The 30 seconds went very fast when you were on the clock but glad we weren't at it all night. Once you're through the first 5/6 rounds you're into subs really so no point in chugging through those positions. Ended up going WR/RB/RB/WR/WR/WR - ended up with 6 WR's and 2 TE's.

    Looking forward to getting Sunday night NFL back next week.

    Yeah I had a shortlist setup, but had intended it just to be a watchlist more than who I actually wanted to trade, hence got 2 TE's in back to back rounds.

    Draft recaps are now out

    Are they accurate? I’m after getting given an A and a 12-2 projection which seems outrageous considering this is my first year playing fantasy.

    Do they give generic As to everyone?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,104 ✭✭✭markc91


    Usually are accurate enough however this year there a bit mad, i got a B- for a 7-7 season and in another league im in a guy got a B- for a 2-12 season so wouldnt pay too much heed to it this season


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,672 ✭✭✭ScummyMan


    I would pay little heed to them, the winner of fantasy NFL is usually the one who makes the shrewdest waiver pick ups.

    In saying that I got an A+ and a 12-2 record so hopefully it’s spot on!

    I'm gonna hazard a guess and say mine was heavily based on getting McCaffrey at number 1. There were a number of things I'd probably have done differently if I was to do it again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,492 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    Well I got a D+ and a 0-14 projection. Although last year, the person in the league I entered with the worst projection ended up winning it so.....

    Was 10th pick of twelve so a lot of the premium RBs and WRs (and Chiefs) were already gobbled up, and a lot of the lads in my league are anoraks compared to myself as a first-timer.

    I think I am happy enough with my selection though as in the main I went for teams I think will have good seasons, coupled with a few proven campaigners:

    QBs: Wilson, (Tannenhill)
    RBs: Mack, Murray (Coleman, Edmonds (Ari))
    WRs: Gallup, Brown (Bal) (Jones (Det))
    TEs: Fent (Den) (Randolph, Graham)
    W/R: Samuel (Car)-WR
    K: Lutz
    Def: Colts

    Given that the system has entirely written me off, I will be happy with 3 wins :D

    All paid up now aswell - 14 teams so €280 prize fund.

    At the end of the season the top 4 go to the Championship playoff, next 4 go to Consolation Playoffs. Will we leave the winner of the consolation playoff get their money back at least, or more?

    Something like:
    Championship Winner - €180
    Championship Runner Up - €80
    Consolation Winner - €20

    I'm easy but I'm running a 12 team league and have 6 teams making the playoffs and planning to pay out 1st,2nd and 3rd

    They judge that ranking by their selection preference when you are about to draft, the less you go with their preference the lower your ranking will be.

    A person that has done research and picks people on their own estimation of performance won't get a good score.

    In theory it should be an indication but in reality, not really.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,432 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red


    The description was nonsense if that’s anything to go by, they said I concentrated on RBs - first three picks were Wr/TE/WR. Next four were RBs


    With 14 there’ll be a lot less upside from the waivers. I’m in a 10 player league and you could easily switch up 5/6 players each week

    That'd give 5-8 something to play for, so fine by me. But not too pushed either way as long as the top 2 make most of the profit


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 466 ✭✭L.S.F


    Didn't want to create a new thread here so just gonna hijack this one (sorry!)

    Have it posted in the NFL board:

    Running a Last Man Standing for the NFL, €10 in with one lifeline.

    PM me if interested and I'll send you on the whatsapp group link.

    Picks and money (Revoult/PayPal) must be in by before the kick of of the team you choose.

    just shy of €200 pot at the moment


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    I appear to have won a game, mostly thanks to Ryan and Ridley, and Engram having a poor game last night. But there seems to be an awful lot to keep your eye on

    Wilson, Hopkins and Kamara did a lot of the heavy lifting, most of his team contributed well though so no complaints


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,104 ✭✭✭markc91


    Just incase anyone doesn't look at the feed on the app. I mistakenly dropped dj chark from my team when I meant to drop him on the bench. If you could all be so kind as to leave him on waivers so I can pick him back up on Wednesday thanks!
