NFL (since 2016)

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

I'm in... Brady's Love Child. I will win this year

To first timers or people who havent done it for a while there is some very useful guidance on NFL fantasy on draft strategy etc also the NFL fantasy live podcast is worth a listen for tips with injuries etc and just general NFL news

[Takashi Miike]

"crystal, it goes to auto pick if you fail to select the first player, and then it's even quicker"

[Hermit Road]

I downloaded the app. I dont know if this makes drafting easier than the website.

[crystal falace]

"If you just dont make a pick the site will just draft you the next available ranked player, However i wouldnt advise this as you could end up with a very lopsided team and also it just slows the whole process down for everyone who has to wait for your timer to expire every round."

[zebthecat]

Thanks. Signed and it looks blummin complicated. Is there an option just to draft a few players and let the game do the rest? Not used to fantasy games where you have pre-draft list...

[Holstebro Hammer]

I'm in thanks Crystal. Good luck everyone. It's been a while since I've done anything fantasy wise. But looking forward to getting back into it.

last 2 email invites now sent

[crystal falace]

I believe we're now full. The guys who WHOmailed me today i'll send you the link to sign up this evening as i cant get on the NFL website on my work computer.

[Hermit Road]

I've signed up. Regarding the suggestion for putting a few quid on the line. I think that's a good idea. Will help keep me invested.

[crystal falace]

Believe i have sent out 9 invitations so far meaning that including me we only have 2 spaces left in the league.

[Mr. Burns]

I'm IN.

[crystal falace]

"the people who have messages me an email, i've snt an invite to the league to all of you already, so if you could sign up ASAP just so i dont lose track of how many spaces we have left"

[crystal falace]

i thin were at 9 out of 12 spaces filled so far so if you want to do it again and do it properly this time then just whomail me an email to send the invite to

[Hermit Road]

I think I was someone who fucked this up last year. Ironically because I was in the US and didn't have the ability to be there for the draft which kind of kills the whole point of it. Sorry about that. If you're short this year on numbers I'd be up for doing it properly but no worries if not.

[crystal falace]

cool just hit me up with an email to send the invite to

[Mr. Burns]

Ok well I'm in another couple of leagues but happy to do this as well. Cheers

[crystal falace]

Yeah i've set the league up through the official nfl site

[Mr. Burns]

Do you do this on the official NFL fantasy app?

[ooooh Morley Morley]

"I'm in again, cheers"

[crystal falace]

"Also thought it might help to keep people's interest in the league if their was some money on the line? open to suggestions, but nothing more annoying than someone who has some really strong players on their team but they havent bothered to set their lineup for weeks"

[crystal falace]

"I've just set up a new league if those that want to join cam WHOmail me an email so i can send them an invite. Its currently set to a 1 point PPR league as that seems to be the norm nowadays but if the majority want to go bac to standard im sure i can change it. Draft is set for 8pm on sept 1st for now which is the sunday before the Thursday night season kickoff game, again this can be changed depending on the majority"

[crystal falace]

Be a bit difficult to kick somone out at the draft stage i think as you're then a team down in the league

[Takashi Miike]

"yes, I'll have it. IN"

[IsaacHock]

I'm in pls. Just one suggestion for this year - anyone that doesn't turn up for the draft is kicked.
