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."

"Just alot of mouths to feed on that Dallas attack, didnt fancy their draft price when not quite knowing who's going to eat one week to the next"

[OccupyGreenStreet]

"Pretty pleased with that. Everyone else was swerving the Cowboys, and I have no scruples about picking up a few of the fuckers ;-)"

[crystal falace]

"Alot of people seemed to be filling their starters before looking at depth, i always like to wait on QB, defence and kicker and just stack my team with the best players. Drafted Brees earlier than i wanted to but so many QBs had already gone i panicked and had to take someone."

"Relying on a rookie in one spot but reasonably happy in most others, very pleased in a couple."

[Hermit Road]

Very fast. I fucked up by miscounting and picking a 3rd WR before filling QB. Bit annoying as I could have got who I wanted.

[crystal falace]

"Very happy with my draft, got 4 of the guys id targeted in the first 5 rounds. Newton got poached from me late though as QB insurance but there's still some decent options on the waiver wire if old man brees cant hold up. Going to have alot of selection headaches for week 1"

[OccupyGreenStreet]

Very fast. Looks like people knew what they wanted.

[ironsofcanada]

Very business like compared to other drafts I have done. Quick and no smack talk

[Hermit Road]

The format looks a lot different

[crystal falace]

20 minute warning!

[El Scorchio]

"Yup, no worries. If OMM gives me a shout I'll let him in and if not I'll just carry on with drafting what will be the worst team in the league!"

[Hermit Road]

Cheers. Just thought I'd better check ebfore the draft. I haven't watched hardly any of the usual US Sports shows that I normally watch this summer so I am trying to do some last minute revision to try and make the playoffs!

[crystal falace]

If you can sort it out between you in the next 80 minutes then im not fussed either way but dont want to end up having 11 teams if OMM cant join in time

[El Scorchio]

I'm happy to drop out and let OMM take my spot.

[crystal falace]

"No standard scoring, cant stand ppr. Should not get more points for a 1 yard catch than for a 10 yard run"

[Hermit Road]

Are we PPR this season?

[crystal falace]

"For those drafting at half 7, one warning i would have it seems to be sorted by some random guys rankings rather than average draft position which is usually a better way of judging when you should be drafting players. Otherwise it has 2 QBs as first round picks which is usually not the best strategy"

[crystal falace]

"Sorry morley, with mike dropping out its just ALOT easier to just run a 12 team league, if you want in next year please let me know earlier and i can expand the league"

[ooooh Morley Morley]

Stick me down for a team Falace

[Takashi Miike]

"I'll solve the problem and pull out. I sent you a message about no being able to use the draft function without the app, so I'm OUT"

[crystal falace]

"Reminder to all involved the draft for the fantasy league is this sunday at 19:30. Still one space left if anyone fancies a last minute entrant, if not I'll be running 2 teams this year so we dont have to exclude anyone."

[El Scorchio]

"Same, and I don't think he's counting on starting again, but it 's a huge achievement for him just to be on the field after what happened to him. Really horrible injury."

[Lee Trundle]

I'd be surprised if Smith gets anywhere near back to his steady eddie best.

[El Scorchio]

"That's really shitty news. Poor Ron. Sounds treatable though so fingers crossed. Although in other news I did read that Alex Smith has been able to return to practice for Washington, which is quite a remarkable story, so good luck to him."

[crystal falace]

As if things couldnt get any worse for the washington team formerly known as the redskins. Head coach ron riveira has been diagnosed with cancer.
