[Dodge]

Stick my name down anyway

[Aberdonian Stu]

I'm setting up at this minute. Will sent out PMs within the next 40 mins.

[max power]

pop me in as well, really enjoyed last season.

[Aberdonian Stu]

It's up on NFL.com

I've PMed a few of ye with the password. Sending the rest as we speak. Only 12 slots in total so get on to me asap.

Anyone who wants in can say so here or PM me and I'll fire over the details. Needless to say the sooner the better.

I've set the draft for 8.15pm Irish time on Tuesday the 5th of August. It is a live draft.

In NFL.com leagues you start 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, 1K, 1 DST and have 5 reserves.

[max power]

just joined.

[Clifford]

Can I come in again and add the brother who has played last two seasons with us? Much appreciated, got the PM AS, cheers.

[Burny89]

I'm in

[strangeirish]

Having trouble signing in..Keep getting this...what the heck am I doing wrong?

We're sorry, but we are unable to validate your log in at this time. Please try again in 5 minutes.

Edit: Meh! Brain fart...in!

[shedite]

I just joined there - only 2 spots left now.

[swano]

I'm in but the draft is on during the Rovers v bohs game so poxy autodraft for me:(

Definitely a disadvantage as you never know order players will go no matter how much time you spend setting your autodraft.

[Clifford]

I'm in with Cliffords clippers again and I think last seasons winner Derek Colts are in, is there any way I can verify that we've made the cut? I can't seem to see the list of who is in or not. Comes with being a complete computer eejit I'm afraid. I seem to manage these things more by luck than judgement.

Anyone got the link to a list of teams?

[Burny89]

On the Foot.ie fantasy page, where it tells you the league name and when the draft etc is, just below it in blue writing you want to click on 'league details' and it will give you a list of team names and real names

I don't see the reigning champ down there yet

[Clifford]

Right, spotted it, he's in as derekskings or something as far as I can see.

Cheers.

[Real ale Madrid]

I just joined there - only 2 spots left now.

1 spot left :)- thanks to Aberdonian Stu again for setting this up .

[Aberdonian Stu]

Cheers Real Ale, you beat me to the punch in announcing that there is just one space remaining in the league.

If by some freak occurence it isn't gone by the day before the draft I'll get someone to fill it but needless to say I'd rather I didn't have to.

I seriously doubt it will come to that but I'm just saying it in case anyone is wondering what will happen in the event that we're near draft time and short a team.

[shedite]

A friend of mine here (former foot.ie poster) wants to play. Can I send him the invite?

[eamo1]

Am i too late,thanks for the PM ab stu

[Aberdonian Stu]

The league is now full. All 12 slots have been taken.

[swano]

Schedule and draft order are now decided. A repeat of last years final in the 1st round of fixtures. I'm drafting 2nd so at least I have a choice of who to pick before my autodraft takes over!

[strangeirish]

Ye ready??????

Good luck to all!

[Real ale Madrid]

Looking forward to this - 8th pick - gl to everyone

[swano]

ONly checked my team now as I was drowning my sorrows last night:mad:

Happy with the team, especially getting LT with the 2nd pick.

[Dodge]

Forgot the draft until the 4th or 5th round. I definitely wouldn't have picked some of the players the autodraft gave me. Ah well...

[swano]

I knew I was on autodraft so I had set my rankings. I did it by what position to pick in each round. The downside is that it picks you a reserve DST and tight end, neither of which I'd pick usually and it can also mess you up on byes weeks although I seem to have escaped relatively unscathed in that regard.

[shedite]

Yeah I was gonna take a QB in round 2, but by the time I got to pick, all the valuable ones were off the board. so stuck to RBs and WRs for the first few rounds, then went for a QB in rounds 5/6. Picked up Hassleback and Cutler so they can compete for my QB job - hopefully one of them will get some form.

Happy enough with the rest - Brian Westbrook, Reggie Bush, Reggie Wayne and Jason Witten should score plenty of TD's.

Then hopefully the likes of Donald Driver and Edderin James will hit some form too.

[Burny89]

ah ****** i thought the draft was tonight, better go check my team

[Angus]

Any interest in a second league ?

I have a few guys in work interested ?

[Aberdonian Stu]

Sounds good to me, it'll give me another league to beat you in :)

[Angus]

Cool - will set one up next day or so

[Angus]

Done !!

League name: Foot.ie II

Password angus

Draft Monday 18 9.00pm

[Angus]

Second league canned due to insufficient numbers

[Burny89]

no problem it probably would have been one too many for me anyway!

[strangeirish]

Don't forget, the NFL season kicks off this Thursday, with the Redskins playing the Giants.

[strangeirish]

Well that sucked canal water. My top pick, Brady, out for the season.:(

[Burny89]

no reports on Brady's injury yet.........hopefully not out for the season. Maybe he should have taken a few preseason snaps now.

Typical me too, i've got the second highest score in the league so far and i'm still losing

[max power]

well that was a good 1st week for me 117

[Burny89]

Screw you!!! lol

[max power]

Screw you!!! lol

i thought when the bears beat the colts i was stuffed but willie parker came through big time for me.

Roll on week 2:D

Oh and Brady is ou for the season according to nfl.com

[Clifford]

Off to a winning start. Brees came up trumps.

If anyone has any advice on the following you might help me out if you can. The brother can get into his team derekskings, up to last Thurs or so he was able to get into the private league, but since then he can't seem to get in. Any time he get's close it says the league is full despite him being in it already. Have any of you come across this at all? What is the actual name of the league as I have tried searching Foot.it , FOOT.IE etc in the leagues list of over 3500, but can't find it.

Any thoughts gratefully accepted! Cheers.

[shedite]

Flippin hell!

168 points this week.

[max power]

112 for me and it ended up a draw, very close !!

he colts second half really helped me.

[strangeirish]

I'm getting my ass handed to me this year.

[Clifford]

Flippin hell!

168 points this week.

:eek: Bloody hell missed that. Hope I not playing you for a while (ever!)

2-0-0 for me. :cool:

[Burny89]

2-0 for me too, and i just picked up DeSean Jackson, he'll have a massive season. Although anybody see the touchdown he didn't score on monday night, freeking idiot!!!

[Aberdonian Stu]

Brett the Jet came good last night for me so I just edged Clifford.

As for the problem you reported. I had the same one myself and found that logging in, then ****ing off for a while to other sites around the net and coming back worked. No idea why.

[max power]

bad week for me, TO only got 1 pt:rolleyes:

ah roll on next week !

[Burny89]

2-0 for me too, and i just picked up DeSean Jackson, he'll have a massive season. Although anybody see the touchdown he didn't score on monday night, freeking idiot!!!

Ahhh, i guess i wasn't 2-0, i'm bloody 1-2 now, tough start

[Clifford]

Belfield brawlers?????????? Holy cow thats some score! 139 and still Holmes to come. Ha ha.

My game has come down to Big Ben vs McGahee. Bring it on.

[Aberdonian Stu]

Yeah it was just a case of everything coming good for me. Brett Favre had a career day, both RBs put up good numbers, and my two reserve WRs that filled in for players on bye-weeks got a TD each. I think Burny has the second highest score of any team this week, just was unfortunately scheduled against myself.
