Doogs27 · 20-07-2020 10:57pm

Well done gents. Best of luck this season!!!

bit of red72 · 27-07-2020 4:15pm

It's been quite the start. I have Juan Soto and Mike Moustakas with Covid (all reasonable offers entertained but buyer beware!) and Miami's game with the Orioles is postponed due to Covid worries. Hopefully it'll all work out...

smackbunnybaby · 12-01-2021 12:25pm

Lads, anyone here interested in doing fantasy NHL this year?
we need numbers in the hockey forum to keep a league going.

smackbunnybaby · 17-02-2021 5:25pm

Hey everyone!
just posting to see if people are ready to get back on track for a fullish season!

boccy23 · 18-02-2021 9:20am

I'm in anyway. As you say, in whatever form the season will take. I assume we go back to our 2019 rosters and keepers etc. from then?

smackbunnybaby · 18-02-2021 1:37pm

yep, that's the plan.
there was also a discussion around changing max keepers to 4 rather than 6. Would have to read back to see if we reached a consensus on it.

bit of red72 · 19-02-2021 11:43pm

Hope everyone is hanging in there and staying safe. It's been really tough the last while - I'm sure I'm not alone in that.

Yahoo has just reopened the registration and I can renew the league as of today. I'm going to renew it now. Let me know if you're all back in.

I'm easy on what we want to do. I think the Head 2 Head worked better for our league than the Roto although the league stayed active. I have the closing 2019 rosters and I can post them if people want to re-start it that way.

Personally I'm looking to join a couple more leagues this year. I had too many teams for a while there and I cut back to just this league. If anyone had a spot going in another league I'd appreciate it if you'd consider me for an open slot.:)

Coeus · 20-02-2021 12:03am

Count me in too. Looking forward to going back to H2H provided we get enough of a season to make it happen

Doogs27 · 20-02-2021 12:08am

I’m back in too. I totally forgot about the keepers going back to 2019 when I opened the yahoo app. Tatis and machado staring back at me from last year, I started to get excited!! Oh well.

lankythecamel · 20-02-2021 1:43pm

Yes count me in as well

bit of red72 · 28-02-2021 11:18pm

Lads,

I'm waiting on a couple of teams to confirm for this year before starting the usual polls for draft dates and anything else to be decided. I've just sent out a reminder there. Will ye let me know one way or another in the next couple of days? Thanks.

MoyVilla9 · 01-03-2021 11:31am

Hi guys. Sorry, just seen this now. I'm going to sit out this year. I was El Capitan last year.

bit of red72 · 03-03-2021 10:56am

Can the other two teams to confirm please let me know? We might have three teams to fill. If anyone would like to join the league or you have any mates that might like to, please post here.

bit of red72 · 06-03-2021 8:01pm

It looks like we need to find three owners to complete the league. If anyone has mates who fancy a H2H league please let them know. Cheers!

boccy23 · 10-03-2021 10:50am

Where are we at with the league now?

smackbunnybaby · 10-03-2021 12:33pm

we look to have 8 teams now?
So 2 more

boccy23 · 10-03-2021 12:37pm

Worse case, we can play as 8 team H2H.

So we need to keep it an even number.

bit of red72 · 11-03-2021 11:14am

Sorry lads, out of commission yesterday. Yep, we have 8 teams.

I've asked around but I haven't managed to find anyone else yet.

bit of red72 · 12-03-2021 6:08pm

I've found a new manager. So that's 9.

Do we think we could find another in the next couple of days?

I'll send around a poll for the draft date later.

Do we want to start from scratch or use the 2019 keepers as the base? I think we agreed we'd keep the 2019 rosters to choose the keepers and we'd pick 4 players.

Any other suggestions on rosters or categories?

Link for a time/date selection for the draft...

smackbunnybaby · 14-03-2021 5:27pm

I had a word around lads and no luck grabbing a 10th

smackbunnybaby · 15-03-2021 11:42am

I've filled out the doodle

boccy23 · 15-03-2021 12:07pm

Done there now as well.

bit of red72 · 15-03-2021 6:12pm

Can the last few lads fill out the doodle please? It looks like Wednesday 25th at 9 is the preferred time at this stage.

If we can't get a 10th I will probably just drop the ninth team and go with 8 teams. It seems a shame but otherwise we'll have odd numbers and bye weeks. If anyone could find another owner that would be great!

bit of red72 · 18-03-2021 10:28am

Hi all,

I'll set the draft for 9 next Wednesday 24th. That has the most votes.

There will also just be the eight teams. I'll delete El Capitan and Tralee Titans so their end 2019 players will be available.

We'll go with up to 4 keepers. As before you can pick as many as 4 and as little as zero. There's only going to be max 32 players kept. This post should have the closing 2019 rosters attached to it.

The keeper deadline will be Sunday night. Please post your keepers here or send me a DM. The site will use 2020 rosters for keepers rather than 2019 so I'll be manually inputting the keepers.

boccy23 · 18-03-2021 10:57am

Thanks Red

Sounds good.

3 Keepers for K Kings:

Fernando Tatis Jr.
Trea Turner

Doogs27 · 18-03-2021 1:46pm

Coeus · 19-03-2021 11:30pm

How can 2 people be keeping Jack Flaherty. Someone is looking at the wrong year or wrong column.

bit of red72 · 20-03-2021 2:25pm

Tolka,

Flaherty is on the Zephyrs at the end of 2019 roster. It's not the closing rosters on the site but the excel list on my message on the 18th. Check that out. You have Nola, Buehler and Scherzer so not too shabby on the pitching front!

smackbunnybaby · 21-03-2021 6:28pm

I will keep the following 4

Jose Abreu
Anthony Rendon
Whit Merrifield
Nelson Cruz

lankythecamel · 21-03-2021 7:58pm

Sorry guys here's my new list For Tolka Drakes

1.Aaron Nola
2.Max Scherzer
3.Walker Bueher
4.Sonny Gray

God, I would have given you jack flaherty for any of those!!!

bit of red72 · 22-03-2021 11:53am

I have keepers from everyone now. Most people have chosen 4 with a couple of 2's and one 3. I'll set that up later.

The draft order will be based on 2019 results and snaking as usual:

1. JPF
2. Tolka Drakes
3. Badgers
4. Dodgers
5. RebelSox
6. Zephyrs
7. Fireballers
8. Kings

boccy23 · 25-03-2021 4:47pm

Will have to remember to draft closer to opening day next year. The weeks wait to see my A+ draft turn into the usual C- seems like a long time.

Free agency will be very deep this year with just the 8 teams.

I wholeheartedly agree! Eloy Jimenez, today diagnosed with a torn pectoral 6 months.

Yeah it was noticeable in the last few rounds, usually I’d be throwing out flyers left right and centre, but it was hard to do that when there was genuine talent left on the board. Those extra 54 players were noticeable.

boccy23 · 13-05-2021 4:08pm

Half my team is on the IL now!

JT Realmuto now added due to Covid-19 just after Tatis landed on it.

Arrrghh!!!!

bit of red72 · 17-05-2021 3:14pm

Do managers want me to put another IL spot in the rosters?

I don't need it myself but can understand how people might want it. There seems to be a lot of injured players - although my personal bugbear is the DTD where they don't play for a week but never go on the IL.

I'm happy to take the majority view.

boccy23 · 17-05-2021 3:30pm

I am getting a bit screwed at the minute with Covid and injuries. But I would still keep it as is. With 8 teams, the pool is deep and puts an emphasis on strategy.

bit of red72 · 17-05-2021 5:31pm

You are second so you're definitely doing something right!!:)

bit of red72 · 03-03-2022 11:20pm

Hi folks,

I was holding off until the dispute was sorted but I think I'll just kick things off again.

Will ye let me know if ye're back in again for this season?

smackbunnybaby · 07-03-2022 6:08pm

I am in. Accepted the invite.

Badgers.

Rumours of a rebrand due to the franchise being moved

boccy23 · 11-03-2022 1:02pm

Stupid new Boards didn't alert me to this.

Count me back in, K-Kings.

Coeus · 15-03-2022 12:35pm

Only just seen this. Count Fireballers in aswell...

bit of red72 · 19-03-2022 5:42pm

Folks,

Just have the four confirmations - can the other four teams please confirm asap?

Doogs27 · 19-03-2022 6:13pm

Hi guys, zephyrs back in. Sorry for the late reply.

8-10 · 20-03-2022 8:57am

Hi sorry, am JPF and I'm out. Sorry, enjoyed the decade of play!

bit of red72 · 21-03-2022 1:41pm

Hi lads,

As of the last comment JPF are out for this year and I don't have a response from RebelSox. I think the Drakes has accepted the invite.

Does anyone know of any other managers who might want to join? Otherwise I think it might be time to wind it up. We could go with a six team league but it feels very different than a couple of years ago.....
