Apologies lads, just send my email there.

Pat the Patriot · 24-08-2016 3:51pm

Ok ... once our final team joins we should be almost good to go. I've posted below how how our divisions are split up. It was decided that rather than go with the default fixtures we would set fixtures up manually to ensure more games within your division and mirror more closely how it works in the NFL. I have sent our divisional split to Adrian & he will send me back a list of fixtures that I will then enter in for our league.

Division 1
Blu York Giants
Walnut Wanderers
The Nastys
The Adrian Beatersons

Division 2
Witty Tanks
I Believe in Eli
Warfield's Warriors
Muppeteers

Division 3
Corkeagles
Moyross Piebalds
Mighty Pigs
Donottar Dare Devils

Division 4
Lambmuncher4
Longford Patriots
The Godfavre
For Whom Odell Tolls

We also need to talk about a draft fate for D1. I am available on the evenings of Mon 5th Sep, Wed 7th Sep & Thurs 8th Sep from 8 - 10pm. Can others please post their availability & I can then kick off a vote on which date/time slot suits the majority for the draft to be held.

Cheers
Pat the Patriot
The Nastys

HigginsJ · 24-08-2016 4:21pm

I'm good any week day from 8pm to 11pm

Benimar · 25-08-2016 3:46pm

I'm good most nights from 9pm.

El Horseboxo · 25-08-2016 4:08pm

Monday September 5th after 8pm would suit me best as it's Labor day here in the US and I'll be off. But I suppose any day after that can work once known a few days in advance.

Pat the Patriot · 26-08-2016 10:10am

We have 8 responses so far around a potential draft day/time (See below) .... I'll give it another week before we make the final decision.

adrian beatersons (El Horseboxo) - Labor Day Mon 5th Sep suits, but any day will work with a couple of days notice

Hanners · 26-08-2016 1:14pm

Any night that week suits me (lambmuncher)

El Horseboxo · 26-08-2016 6:36pm

As most are saying any evening.

Would it be better to through up a poll on a site like doodle (http://doodle.com/)

Just ask everyone to only make 2 selections. Some said they can't do before 9PM. So maybe only give the choice of 9 as i imagine 10 might be a bit late on Irish time.

Hairy Nipples 87 · 27-08-2016 8:45am

I think the doodle is a good idea. Any night about 9pm Is good for me.

Pat the Patriot · 27-08-2016 10:37am

please vote for whatever day/times suit you best
http://doodle.com/poll/w3q4tecxh2thz74x

Pat the Patriot · 29-08-2016 1:54pm

The league schedule has now been updated. The draft day/time poll is up & running & it will remain so until Fri 2nd Sep.

Pat the Patriot · 30-08-2016 8:04am

So it's looking like Thurs 8th Sep @ 9pm for our draft with the 1st game of the 2016/17 season kicking off later that night in Denver. 11 people have responded to the poll & it'll run until the end of this week before I lock in the date/time.

Can you double check that this is ok on NFL.com? Previously if you set the draft for the day the season started your league would not start until week 2.

Pat the Patriot · 30-08-2016 11:16am

Understood ..... it looks like Wed 7th Sep @ 9pm may now emerge as the draft date/time of choice.

Pat the Patriot · 01-09-2016 10:15am

I just checked the doodle poll for draft date/time (http://doodle.com/poll/w3q4tecxh2thz74x) & we have had 11 participants. The Date/Time that suits the majority looks to be Wed 7th Sep @ 9pm. I'll leave the poll open until Friday evening.

Pat the Patriot · 02-09-2016 8:14pm

Poll is now closed ... & our draft will take place on Wed 7th Sep @ 9pm. Best of luck to everybody!!!

HigginsJ · 07-09-2016 7:27pm

I am very under-prepared for this, have not had time to look at rankings etc. Should be interesting

This time last year I feel asleep for the premier division draft two minutes beforehand. And because I autodrafted I'm back here with the fine people of division 1. I never look at the rankings. I look at NFL.com fantasy experts and have an idea who I'll pick.

Itssoeasy · 07-09-2016 8:33pm

Pick 14 in round one for me. I was hoping for a higher pick.

Anyone else having trouble getting in?

Masked Man · 07-09-2016 9:18pm

I just got booted but managed to get back in.

Hopefully the Draft Client works better than it did for the Keeper League.

HigginsJ · 07-09-2016 10:56pm

QB - Joe Flacco (tempted to pick up Brock Osweiler as back up)

RB - Lamar Miller & Rashad Jennings (Christine Michael is the only back up so bit of work needed here)

WR - Jeremy Maclin, Donte Moncrief & Mike Evans (Stefon Diggs, Brandon LaFell, Breshad Perriman & Steve Smith are back up at present, one or two will have to go to make way for Osweiler and an RB)

TE - Julius Thomas - He is my tip for bounce back player this year so had to go with him really

Def - Giants will start this week against Prescott

K - Will pick one up and drop the Jags D

Itssoeasy · 07-09-2016 11:52pm

Yeah near the seventh round the app went to ****e for me.

My Team

QB: Derek Carr, Andy Dalton
RB: Chris Ivory, Eddie Lacy,Bilal Powell, Shaun draughn
WR: Emmanuel Sanders, Anquan Boldin, Tajae Sharpe, Dorial Green Beckham, Justin Hardy
TE: Gronk
K: Graham Gano
DEF: Vikings.

I might be a bit WR heavy with five and only one TE. I'm open to opinions on my team good or bad.

Pat the Patriot · 08-09-2016 8:57am

I had the 4th pick & went with David Johnson (ARZ) RB... I reckon he's going to have a monster year as part of a high powered offence.

The Nastys
QB - Big Ben (PIT)
RB - D Johnson (ARZ), M Forte (NYJ)
WR - M Floyd (ARZ), TY Hilton (IND), J Matthews (PHI)
TE - J Cook (GB)
K - D Hopkins (WAS)
DEF - Cardinals

BENCH
RB - C Johnson (ARZ), TJ Yeldon (JAC)
WR - J Kearse (SEA), R Matthews (TEN)
TE - V McDonald (SF)

My draft recap e-mail from NFL.COM this morning seemed pretty positive about my draft. Here's hoping it actually translates into success during the season ;-)

Pat the Patriot · 12-09-2016 10:54am

I love having football back !!! I need Big Ben & Dustin Hopkins to come through for me on Monday night to pick up the win in my matchup vs The Adrian Beatersons!!

Benimar · 19-09-2016 2:50pm

I've started 0-2. Petersen and Stewart look injured.

Anyone trading a RB??!!!

You know its going to be a long season when you drop your 1st round pick (Peterson) for a Defence :mad:

wawaman · 27-09-2016 9:05am

i would be willing to trade either Russell Wilson or Big Ben for some good RB or WR options !

Pat the Patriot · 27-09-2016 12:38pm

Wait a minute ..... I have Big Ben ;-)

wawaman · 27-09-2016 12:41pm

ha ha apologies, the pearls of been in more than 1 league ! Of course i meant Wilson or Kirk Cousins !!!

HigginsJ · 25-10-2016 12:21pm

Looking to add a QB to my team, have Flacco and willing to include him in a trade along with Mike Evans.

Benimar · 28-10-2016 10:09am

Sitting at 0-7, I decided to bring in a highly touted Jaguar receiver as my existing WRs have been utter sh1te so far this season.

Woke up to the news that Bortles had thrown for 300+ yards and 3 TDs, giving me hope that things might actually work out for me this week. Checked the scores - Marquis Lee got 0.1 points..not 1 point, 0.1 points :mad:

0-8 here I come

El Horseboxo · 30-10-2016 3:20pm

How has no one else vetoed Tyrod and Watkins for Flacco and Evans. Evans alone is worth more than that. No one knows if Watkins will even be activated off IR. Even posted that trade up on reddit for more opinions and about all 20 replies said veto that shít.

TaosHum · 30-10-2016 3:24pm

I vetoed it as well.

El Horseboxo · 30-10-2016 5:05pm

Joke of a trade. Watkins broke his foot in the off season and got a screw in it. And then had to be put on IR due to the pain of it. We all know how foot injuries are for players. Yeah he's out of the boot but still weeks away and no guarantee there's no set backs. Whereas Evans is pretty much guaranteed top 5 WR. On course for over 1000 yards and double digit TDs. I'd see Flacco for Tyrod as a pretty even trade. Tyrod with the rushing slowly edging it. But it's basically a top 5 WR for someone still weeks away who I wouldn't hold much hope for if they can come back and stay on the field. Not to mention the Buccs having one of the easiest schedules coming up and the Evans receiver having a 5-2 record while the other guy has a losing record.

Something ain't right about that trade and should be looked into.

HigginsJ · 01-11-2016 1:10pm

I am pretty down on Flacco at this point and needed to do something to improve the QB situation. I was dumping him one way or the other, for me Taylors rushing trumps Flacco (he just scored 18 points against the Pats) so was happy to get him. Gave up a bit in Evans obviously but I am very deep at WR and have Donte Moncrief coming back so happy enough with it.

Very deep at WR does not mean having a few wide receivers. Maclin who has been more like a WR3 this year and had injury problems in recent weeks. Moncrief has been out most of the season injured. Diggs is in a horrible offense that has largely depended on defense. A WR2 with some upside. The rest are just fliers you'd drop and add each week.

And then today you don't even bother to change your bye players.

I won't be there come the playoffs but I'd be seriously pissed if I was someone with a good record. You made an already stacked team infinitely better. Something is off about that trade. Watkins is still weeks away and with your record it's not like you're thinking ahead for the play offs.

Blured · 07-11-2016 4:42pm

Trade does look off, difference between flacco and Taylor is quite small especially compared to one of the best fantasy receivers and a player on IR.

Anyway, if anyone needs receiver help let me know. Looking for a decent RB, Dez Alshson and Pryor all available
