Good news everyone!

Already got 10 in the nfl.com and the fleaflicker may be joint-commished by me.

So if its sound with everyone I'll leave nfl.com as season-only, fleaflicker continues as keeper.

will move draft date to the Tue 28th if that is better than the sunday for most people?

Nice one mate. No changing it to 8 keepers now!

It draft is Tuesday can it possibly be later than 10pm GMT as I work late on a Tuesday?

Craigeth · « **Reply #203 on:** August 15, 2012, 09:38:43 am »

Just joined the NFL.com one!

The leagues now full which is good.

bryanod · « **Reply #204 on:** August 15, 2012, 12:20:51 pm »

If anyone else wants to join let me know can add couple more places if enough interest!

Fleaflicker I have got co-commished in, so will try sort that out shortly also.

Re: Draft time, 10pm is late for those of us up early! Sunday and Thursday we're playing. I can't do Monday so you can all shag off

Jen Chang ‏@JenChang88 Having been refused re-entry to SI's Fantasy Football (NFL) league, looking to join a new one (that also has a live draft). Anyone know one?

bryanod · « **Reply #206 on:** August 21, 2012, 10:58:33 am »

Ok, so moved the newbie one to Tuesday at 10pm, any whinging can go fuck off

Had to move fleaflicker back to Sunday 2nd 9pm as only the Commish can kick out a player and we have one inactive over a year who needs to be replaced.....and the commish is on hols this week I believe!

Any chance the NFL.com draft can be moved forwards by half an hour or so tomorrow night as I am working until 10.

HighSix · « **Reply #208 on:** August 28, 2012, 04:56:56 pm »

Didn't realise it was draft day! might have to cram a few fantasy podcasts before to get some tips.

Jaysus you asked for after 10 now bring it forward?

Bit unfair to start moving it now though I think on people, don't forget to pre-rank some players if not sure if make it for the start. Might not make it all myself even, ha!

StevenLFC · « **Reply #210 on:** August 28, 2012, 08:14:13 pm »

Sorry pal, just read what I wrote. I do want it moved later, about half 10 if possible.

Sorry only seen this....#1 pick so you might be back for your 2nd rounder at this rate!!

Craigeth · « **Reply #212 on:** August 28, 2012, 10:56:59 pm »

I'm happy with my team! Top 6 go through to playoffs?

Scribble8 · « **Reply #213 on:** August 28, 2012, 11:15:01 pm »

I badly need some good receivers.... I like my match up for game one at least!

Something Awful · « **Reply #214 on:** August 29, 2012, 01:56:30 am »

Since Cutler's my backup, and there aren't 14 better QBs than him in this league, who wants to offer me something? I'll take Megatron.

bryanod · « **Reply #215 on:** August 29, 2012, 08:56:30 am »

Half-paying attention means seem to be lacking a really standout RB, but have 4 starting WR, hmmmmmm....trade?

Scribble8 · « **Reply #216 on:** August 29, 2012, 09:34:04 am »

I might be interested. I've got Greene, Lynch, Mendenhall and Thomas.

StevenLFC · « **Reply #217 on:** August 29, 2012, 04:01:40 pm »

Auto pick has left me with an ok-ish team but an awful bench.

Which team are you?

I have Cedric Benson to trade for a decent WR possibly, he just got the starting RB job at Green Bay so should see a decent-ish amount of the ball.

My team is Andselv.

Terry_Tibbs · « **Reply #219 on:** August 30, 2012, 01:20:15 am »

Was a decent draft imo with some randoms like the Bear D taken early doors and the aptly named Bellwhiffs picking up the Seahawks & Jets backup QBs to compliment his RG3 pick.

Brandon LaFell is a decent WR, plus he plays with Cam... Yours for Benson if you will.

BellWhiff beat me to all three of the picks I had wanted to take in round 2, 3 & 4. I thought that he was quite astute...until he took Tebow and Flynn that is!

Nah, I have Austin, Blackmon, Holmes and possibly Amendola who are all better rated than LaFell. I notice that you are lacking a second RB that will start for his team, and there are none left in Free Agency, but you have nothing that would be worth letting him go...unless you gave me Jennings!!!

Anyway, I will trade James Jones for LaFell if you want, just to give you another Packer!

Picking the Bears D was not supposed to happen that early. They were on my list to the side but for future rounds. I was using my iPad, which wasn't ideal for this, and wasn't careful enough when pressing the next player I wanted to select...

Also, did anyone notice that even if you had a list of who to pick next and were logged in, if the clock ran down to 10 seconds it would just autopick for you? Very annoying.

Too late for the RAWK setup but joined a random 10 man league on NFL.com. First time I've picked an NFL fantasy team, so had to get to grips with the draft format pretty quickly. How bad did I do?

QB: Eli Manning
RB: Doug Martin
RB: Arian Foster
WR: Jordy Nelson
WR: Jeremy Maclin
TE: Aaron Hernandez
W/R: Antonio Brown

K: Matt Bryant

DF: SF 49ers

BENCH: Robert Griffin III, Ben Tate, James Starks, Brandon Pettigrew, Santonio Holmes, Pierre Thomas

If you can push the draft back a wee bit, I can take the last spot, but not tomorrow.

Season starts Wednesday evening though so that would leave Tuesday only.

Yep I think it is, also does anyone know who phredmoz owner of Team Lobo is? He's not been logged into FF for 12 days.

I know it's not ideal but at this rate I'd suggest drafting tonight anyway and let those missing auto draft then look to find owner(s) for those teams otherwise we'll never get to draft before the start of the season.

Agree with this.

Plus it seems we get people who fall away every season sadly, so if someone wants to take a team they will just have to work with what they have for a season and then improve next year, that's kinda the point of a keeper league anyway.

Tom_B · « **Reply #234 on:** September 2, 2012, 01:23:03 pm »

Dread Breath has let me know he is definitely not going to be in, so we definitely need a replacement.

skipper757 · « **Reply #235 on:** September 2, 2012, 03:54:41 pm »

Bryanod and I have been PM'ing. I can take over a team on FleaFlicker if possible.

No idea of the league name or login details though.

I had to do this. Progress so far has been steady at best!

bryanod · « **Reply #237 on:** September 2, 2012, 08:07:23 pm »

Tis all sorted anyway folks, the keepers for that team ain't that bad in all fairness!

Draft at 9, finally!!!
