    Currently ranked #1. Playing #2 this week, both with 5-1 records.

    I'm up 57.32 to 39.24 at the moment with Scobee left to play and he's finished.

    This week is gonna be a write off. Plenty of players on byes.

    Playing the worst team in the league, 0-7, inactive and still has Peyton as his starter. Makes it even more annoying that I'm going to lose!

    Fairly epic final with Drew Brees, Marques Colston, Julio Jones and John Kasay seeing me over the line on MNF.

    This league has been re-activated folks. Would be great if last year's participants could re-register. Let me know if there's any difficulties.

    There's 2 open spaces for anyone who is not currently involved. It's just a friendly league that I had going outside of Boards that I opened up to a few Boardsies when mates pulled out of it. Nothing too serious, give us a shout if interested.

    Sorry to ask for another bunch of confirms, but if you're already in this league and fancy another year can hounding a quick post with your team name? A mate of mine has pulled out so will have to do a bit of re-shuffling. Thanks.

    With regards drafting across all leagues, what kind of time span will we be talking? As in, when were last years held and will it be around the same this year again?

    Reducing this to 10 teams this year guys, as not all invites have been acknowledged. I figure most of us are in enough 14/16 team leagues so a nice little 10 team league will be a change. Thanks for taking part, should be good fun :)

    I'd also like to throw an idea out there, see what you guys think.

    How about drafting in the coming week? I just figure (almost) every other league we're in is a lot of teams drafting in the week before the regular season opener. I think it would be a welcome change for this league to be something a bit different - fewer teams drafting before preseason games start.

    Just a suggestion, let me know if it sits well.

    I'm up for that. Might see more trades/FA pickups and battles before the season starts than during the season!

    Or possibly 10? :o Working until half 9. If any objections then fair enough, totally understandable given the length of these things sometimes.

    Guys I can't pick Thursday, it's greyed out on NFL.com and I have no idea why.

    It's looking like Wednesday @ 8pm now.

    I'll see if one of the guys can push back to 10 but don't hold me to that.

    Guys, draft for this is in 1 hour 15 mins.

    A friend of a friend has asked to join, and since I can only add in increments of two, there is one space available if anybody wants to take it. Please let me know asap. If it's not taken by 7:20, I'll be adding a CPU controlled team to make sure the draft goes ahead.

    Cheers.

    Edit: Sober Paddy has taken the spot. Good stuff, good luck everyone. I'll have a unimpressive trophy for the winner. Unimpressive, but a trophy nonetheless :)

    By the way, as we're 2 teams down this year, I've added an extra bench spot for each team, so it's now 6 subs.

    Happy enough with the draft. Interested in trades though, have RBs and TE Davis up for grabs in multiway trades where I get a WR1 and TE/RB for a WR and TE/RB if anybody is interested.

    Happy enough with mine. Not overly thrilled with my RBs, only really 1 verified starter but at least Smith will start the first couple of weeks. Hoping himself, Blount or Tate will establish themselves as starter for one reason or another during the year. Picking 13th out of 14.

    QB Eli Manning (6)
    QB Ryan Tannehill (14)

    RB Matt Forte (2)
    RB Ben Tate (7)
    RB Kevin Smith (8)
    RB LeGarrette Blount (9)

    WR Jordy Nelson (3)
    WR Marques Colston (4)
    WR Torrey Smith (5)
    WR Nate Washington (10)
    WR Vincent Brown (11)

    TE Rob Gronkowski (1)
    TE Jared Cook (12)

    K Matt Prater (13)

    DEF Minnesota Vikings (15)

    Was picking 12th, a few times during that draft a player was nabbed just before me but such is FF life

    QBs - Cam Newton (1st), Josh Freeman (9th)
    RBs - Darren McFadden (2nd), Ahmad Bradshaw (4th), Jonathan Stewart (7th), Ryan Williams (11th)
    WRs - Victor Cruz (3rd), Steve Johnson (5th), Lance Moore (8th), Titus Young (10th), Davone Bess (12th), Kevin Walter (15th)
    TEs - Antonio Gates (6th)
    PK - Mason Crosby (14th)
    DEF - Bills (13th)

    RBs are injury prone so hopefully nothing will happen them but overall im happy with what i got

    Happy enough with the depth of my team given I kept changing my mind every time I was picking. A lot of gambles made on guys staying fit/teams performing. Biggest mistake was drafting 6 guys in a row who are all on bye weeks on week 7. Picked at 11th.

    QB - P. Manning (3); Luck (8).

    RB - Charles (2), Bush (4), Vereen (11).

    WR - Julio Jones (1), Decker (5), M. Floyd (7), Amendola (9), Collie (10), Cobb (12).

    TE - Witten (6), Olsen (13).

    K - Succop (14).

    Def - Washington Redskins (15).
