NFL Fantasy League 2007

[Aberdonian Stu]

I've set up a league on NFL.com for Foot.ie users.

It's drafting on 20 August (that's a Monday) at 8.15pm Irish time. I'll post a direct link as soon as I can but for the time being could anyone interested please PM me their email address.

[Aberdonian Stu]

Ok here's the info required.

Go here

The password is playoffs and there are at the time of writing 7 spots left.

I know a couple of members relatives played last year and they're welcome again.

If it's not full by the 10th of August I'll start asking other folk to make up the numbers so be sure to sign up asap.

Stu,

I'll play. I tried to PM you my address but your PM box is full. I'll send my email again later.

Shedite

[Aberdonian Stu]

You don't need to send me your address anymore. The link above and the instructions in it are all you need.

I've cleared out a fair chunk of my PM box so you should be able to reac me now if you still have any queries.

EDIT: At the time of writing there are 6 spots left, soon to be 5 once Shedite signs up.

[SkStu]

im in.

[Clifford]

I'm in. In like Flynn. Bring it on. Not going to miss the draft this year if I can help it...

[Aberdonian Stu]

Lads there's 3 more days before I start looking for non-Foot.ie based players to join in.

As I said before any friends/relatives that were involved last year are already welcome and don't have to wait until the 10th.

There are 4 slots remaining.

[Aberdonian Stu]

There are now just 2 spots remaining.

[Burny89]

I'm in. Is this a automated draft?

If not when is it and do i have to be around?

you can sit out your draft or you can do it at that time. If you sit out be sure to go and prioritise your draft picks so you dont get too badly shafted. One of the lads doin the Bohs one got Vick, haha!

[Aberdonian Stu]

Yeah it's a live draft on Monday week. We won't know the draft order until sometime that day.

NFL.com leagues are divided into three divisions. The winners of each division plus one wildcard make the playoffs.

Here's what your starting roster will consist of:
1 QB
2 RBs
3 WRs
1 TE
1 DST
1 K

Note that it's 3 WR as opposed to 2 WR in some leagues (nfl.com changed it this year). Also you have 5 slots on your bench, this is less than in most leagues.

The twelfth and final member of the league joined today so the IAFL NFL Fantasy League 2007 is officially full.

Will trades be permitted in the league?

[Aberdonian Stu]

Yes but they can be vetoed if it's a blatantly one-sided attempt to stack a team.

Yeah we always had problems in the league we do in work. People who aren't in contention for the playoffs trading Larry Gonzalez for an injured kicker 2 years ago was a classic. Last year we just decided on no trades.

[eamo1]

i would have loved to join.can i be considered on the "bench" for this league so if someone gets "injured" ill come in?????.if not its ok,ill go look for another "team".

[swano]

Draft tomorrow. I'm working during it so things might get messy. Have ranked my players but it's hard to know where to put people until you know who is taken before you and it's too late by then!

[Aberdonian Stu]

Ranking does help if you can't make it. Failing to rank for an auto can screw you around.

Draft is tonight at 8.15pm.

[shedite]

Yeah I can't make it tonight either so will be relying on the auto-pick. It's tough to know alright who to go for. If my top runningbacks are gone then I could end up with a QB in my first pick. On the other hand, I could end up with 2 runningbacks in first 2 selections!
