Also what is it like knowing if this was an actual draft your 2nd Round Pick will miss 4 games?

Might*

but in all seriousness I picked up Murray as a 3rd back flex option who is actaully better than both your starting RBs

Shh we don't need to talk about that, but yeah I keep stacking heavy WR but I think it is because I haven't looked into the RB position too much.

haha!!

so many strategies, all pretty viable!

Hey guys just joined up in Garths brother. I'm in and ready to go

@welshy, good to be on board. I signed up on ESPN, but not sure what a 'standard' league looks like.
Can you give us newbies a bit of a rundown of what we're up for?

- 8 team leagues right?
- snake draft? when will the draft be?
- what players make up a starting lineup?
- roster size?
- points scoring?

sorry if all this is on the site, but geez there's a lot of info out there to navigate...

Welshy is trying to keep us all in the dark to give himself as much of an advantage as possible. I thought better of him but like last years commissioner the power seems to have gone to his head...

I'm not saying much until we start throwing real punches !
This could be messy.
The only thing i am a little concerned about is using espn as our site. Is it good week to week on espn ? As with most of their general news for alot of sports they can be quite slow.
How does the espn fantasy site let u know about injury status ?

We used ESPN last year and it was really easy to navigate, I'm not abject to using another provider though, the general concensus was sticking with it, any injury doubts the player has P, D or O (probable, doubtful or out) next to their name along with an injury report tag

jump in a mock mate and take a look

Not sure if this is the right thread but I might have to withdraw my name from the possible entrants list.

Sorry lad but I'm not sure I would be able to give the time and dedication that this competition requires. Next few months are going to be fairly busy for myself.

draft will be dependant on when all league participants can get together at a suitable date and time best for them mate, season starts September 9th so draft will be starting from last week in August up until that game week, draft lasts around 45 minutes mate probably less

You can jump into mock drafts which run all day to get a feel of timings and player rankings etc

Oooooh. Getting closer then. I'm going to have to watch Draft Day and get my Kevin Costner on soon!!
