Am I right in saying the draft is at 3am?

Is there anyway of joining but not being around for the actual draft? I'll be asleep at this time on this side of the world.

Just seen I'm too late. Enjoy it. Make sure Trev doesn't win, couldn't be listening to him about his Patriots and Fantasy team all season  ;D

I think everyone knows Trev's prediction for this season.

It isn't the same as Anfield Ed's ;D

I'm a Pats fan too you know!! I just feel that back to back successes may be pushing it, when there are some really other top teams around. Also depends on momentum going into the play offs too.

The earliest time I can set the draft to is in 2 hours time now. You can set up an auto-draft so you won't miss out.

I'm trying to work out the settings to see if it will allow me to increase it to 12.

If not my apologies mate.

Do you need to fill a team with every offensive position? For instance, do I need a kicker? I'm in as TheLastRatStanding. I am the most casual of casual fans, so we'll see! Figured the league might need a girl.  :P (Apologies if there are already girls in the league.)

Not for every position, you'll need a kicker, a team defense [as opposed to individual defensive players] and the rest are qb's, running backs and receivers.

Lads, I can add more teams, please let me know if you are interested so I can make it official

So I can edit them guys, let me know how many of you want to join before I close it out.

Right now the earliest I can change the time is to 9pm Eastern Time [US], which is 2 am for you lot in the UK, and 3 am elsewhere in Europe. You don't have to be live for the draft, just set your list of priorities and players, and the system will do the rest for you.

Tried to sign in to the link you sent, but the league seems to be already full. Would like to be in, but I guess it doesnt make sense to expand over 12 players. Up to you.

I haven't changed it just yet mate, since I can't set it to 11 players only, I need to know if there is going to someone else interested so I can set it to 12 and then you'll be able to do so.


EDIT- Ive changed it to 12, you should be able to sign up now.

Draft is one hour away. For those who wont go live, please set your draft picks beforehand and the system will select for you.

Some pointerz

-Zeke Eliott will be available for the first game this Sunday, however following that, he will be suspended for 6 games. You may not want to draft him
-Doug Martin, suspended for the first 4 games due to PED's
-The Miami vs Tampa Bay game has been cancelled due to Hurricane Irma, so you may want to take out any of those players out of your line up

Set my rankings and let it auto pick. Had to get up st 6:30 this morning so couldn't stay up for it. Pretty impressed to be fair.

They only graded me B- and a projection of 6th place with 8-6 record though. Harsh.

So I've heard Dave  ;D.

There was no need for such services in Heidelberg (Hoffenheim) a few weeks ago. We were in this bar and it was taking them ages to serve so I decided to pour my own ale because I was thirsty. The owner caught me and wasn't too pleased, however this pretty brunette took quite a shine. An hour or so later we were necking on round the back of the alehouse and then went back to hers after the 2-1 win - a great night all round  :thumbup
