    I know this is early. Was just wondering if anyone would be interested in starting up a franchise fantasy football league

    I'm not entirely sure what that is....like a dynasty league where we keep the same teams going over numerous seasons?

    Hi all, so is this effectively a dynasty league? I'm not in one with anyone of you so this would be fun. What platform are you thinking of using? NFL, ESPN, Fleaflicker, MFL or Yahoo? Used most of them already so i'm familiar with them. Would this be an IDP league? I'm a fan they're more immersive than just a D unit. Would you use the groupme app for banter and chats or would that be out?

    NFL.com for me. Not sure about IDP in a dynasty league. Was in an IDP league last year and they’re a bit more work, not sure it’s worth it.

    Pretty sure there's no IDP on NFL unless it's changed recently.

    I was in an IDP league there on NFL.com last year, worked pretty well!

    If we're up to 10 people, should we form the league now or try to get to 12? I think I might know somebody interested...

    I've voted 16. It's a dynasty league, meaning it'll be full of youthful talent so players will have good and bad years. I honestly don't mind how many there are though.

    Listen, I'm not as much of a boards user as I once was, I only ever really use it to communicate with people about the NFL and anyway. So, going forward I'm sorry if I'm late to reply, I'm still interested of course. I'll be sure to keep checking in.

    No problem. We won't be starting for 3-4 months anyway

    Start the draft post the nfl draft and can have a whole summer of trading.

    Trading for me is the most fun part of dynasty

    What day(s) of the week and time(s) best suits everyone?

    What brinty said was a good idea, we'll do it after the real NFL draft which is from the 25-27th of April.

    After 9pm Irish time most evenings suits me best.

    If we’re looking at May some time, yeah probably Tuesdays or Wednesdays around 20:00 or 21:00. I’m assuming everyone is on Irish time!?

    The majority takes away the rights of the others. Mob rule.

    Ok, but it's going to be difficult to find a date that suits everyone without at least gauging who can do when...

    People are always going to give out, we're on an internet forum...I'm almost sure that the entire reason these things were set up was for people to give out...and organise fantasy football of course!

    A pool is a good idea. But we must try and fit everyone in. If possible.

    Yep in dynasty everyone needs to be available cos in the initial draft you can be set back years and especially with IDP if be your team is auto picked
    There's lots of time post draft to do it before we start the season

    No, I'm +7. If the draft time doesn't work someone else can take my spot.

    Morning/afternoon Irish time is best but again, don't try suit one person for the draft. I always auto draft with my main team in the Boards league and haven't been relegated from the Premier Division yet!

    Anytime after 7.30pm works well for me during the week, folks.

    Also, will the league incorporate rookies only or all players that are eligible? So, for example Barkley, Beckham & Adams are available for selection as are Murray, Metcalf & Jacobs.
