Jaysus, maybe we'll have two this year

good idea Az maybe bimbidal could have a league of his own 

[Rossie11]

Az Do ya remember you were going to have a look at a league when transfers couldnt be made until later in week rather than live.
Any luck with that?

[AZOffaly]

I don't remember that to be honest Rossie. Refresh my memory.

[thejuice]

Royal County Kings are ready to play.

[Rossie11]

That the transfers would freeze until Monday/Tuesday and you wouldnt be able to bring in a player on Sunday during a game.
It gives anyone watching with a laptop an unfair advantage (granted I have benefited from this myself).
Its probably the only flaw in an otherwise brilliant game.

[AZOffaly]

Ah. I see what you mean. I think we'll stick with Yahoo because it seems to allow the most entrants while catering for head to head, but I'll see if there's something in the league settings.

[thejuice]

Alot of running backs high in the draft, Couldnt find any info on scoring etc. How is the draft organised, as in who gets the first pick?

[AZOffaly]

The draft is live online, and the order is randomly determined about half an hour before the draft takes place.

In as the Galway Bay Tribesmen.

[bombidal]

Im back, must be the favourite after the absolute hammerings I dished out to most of you guys last year. 



Im involved in the nfl.com/fantasy game as well.

It is very very good -

- free live scoring which is top class
- there is a waiver line that only opens on a Tuesday so that will stop the thiefs on a sunday night picking up players
- 12 team max ( 4 per division with the winners and one wildcard making the semis )

Will set on up closer to the time and maybe invite guys whom will be active.

[AZOffaly]

I was looking at the NFL one as well bombidal, but the 12 team limit kills us. We've already got 16 or 17 so far.

[AZOffaly]

Lads, just a thought here. What would you think of dropping the number of starting QBs required from 2 to 1. With 20 teams, that means 40 quarterbacks, and there ain't that many teams in the NFL. You'd still have to pick more than one QB in the draft, probably, to make sure you have a backup for injuries/bye weeks or whatever.

What do ye think?

I could also maybe trim a couple of the other positions, maybe drop the W/T or the W/R slot. (They currently allow you to pick either an extra WR or an extra TE , or an extra WR or extra RB).

[the Deel Rover]

probably would be better with one Qb Az
