Sent £20 on stars.

I will be spending a lot of this weekend researching this, instead of talking to my parents who haven't seen in 2 months.

I don't want this to sound like a witch hunt (probably should have PMed this), but WPIL hasn't been logged onto blonde for 2 months now.

His abandoned team did spoil the whole game last year to some extent, just think it is pretty likely the same thing will happen this time around.

that is a good point

I will email him a reminder.


Researching, 16 teams is going to be a hell of a draft struggle. All the drats I have done this week are 10 teams, and it felt comfortable enough that a strategy could be formed. 16, not so sure. Might be a very uneven league

Presumably time per pick is 90 seconds? 5 minutes over 15 rounds/16 people is going to take hours and hours on a school night

First time NFL fantasyist here.

A draft order will be auto-random-done and we I'll each get 90 seconds to pick a player in turn to fill our gaps. Do we have a budget like in Fantasy Soccerball?

Its worth going onto the draft centre on www.nfl.com over the weekend

Drafts run 24-7  http://fantasy.nfl.com/draftcenter/livedraftlobby?leagueId=463186 and click "DRAFT NOW"

You'll get invaluable practice for Tuesday

You join a draft before the start, then you gave 5 minutes to look over the draft order

then you pick from a list of  players, you can sort by position or the nfl.com ranking

90 seconds per pick on the random drafts, not sure what Curtis has set for us

When you draft you'll see your roster fill out bottom right, you'll see who has been picked across the league in which order and you can highlight players onto a watch list

Basically if you can, try it before Tuesday

Right-ho. That sounds fun!

Will definitely be doing some work on that. Also might refresh my memory on one or two players, even though I know everything there is to know about everyone: Titans' back-up kicker's favourite member of One Direction and all that.

I'll be sending out a reminder to everyone via the NFL site over the weekend, which goes via email.  If the worst happens now, we appear to have sufficient interest to address this, but's let's give him a chance first.

We look good for a 16 team league this season so there'll be a few tweaks to the format which I'll post about later.  One of these is to revert back to 6 roster spots again, so as not to drain the free agent pool too much with the additional teams.

To those who PMed me in the last couple of days, I still need to get back to you and will try to do so later tonight (got another draft to get through first!)

Right, final tweaks are now confirmed for a league of 16 players (invites sent out, so expecting the final two spots to be filled over the weekend).

The changes from my previous email are:

1) There are now 4 divisions of 4 teams, as we've hit the magical 16 number to allow me to replicate NFL divisions.  This gives every team a chance to stay in contention for as many gameweeks as possible (for those who think this contradicts what I've said earlier on this, I like this format with 4 divisions, but prefer to have a single league than, say, two divisions of 6 or 7 in smaller leagues).

Please note that the divisions are not yet set, as I had to manually put the teams into divisions to amend the setup.  I will do a randomised draw (alas, not as good as the one Millidonk did for The Apprentice sweepstake) and advise when the leagues are final (probably tomorrow).

2) Playoffs are now increased to 8 teams, so everyone will now have post-season games in the main playoffs or the consolation bowl.  The site doesn't state this specifically, but the qualifying criteria should be 4 divisional winners plus 4 wild cards (based on record), so in theory we could have all 4 teams in one division making the play-offs if there's a particularly strong division.

If the site ultimately cocks up the seedings I will manually amend the play-off fixtures to replicate real life NFL rules.  I'm stating this now, as there was some confusion last season as to exactly how the site was going to do the tie-breakers for the playoffs and it's 'vague' in a couple of areas as to what rules it applies.

3) As mentioned earlier, I've reduced bench spots on the rosters from 7 back to 6 (so same as previous seasons), as this better accomodates the 16 teams.  Starting positions are unchanged from my previous note on this.

4) I can confirm that draft picks will have the standard 90s time allowance as per previous seasons.  I turns out the draft I did last night had this set to 45s and it's not an experience I want to ever go through again!

Please shout if any questions.  The existing teams should all have had an email from me via the site this morning with payment details on it, so hopefully we'll see the remaining funds come in ahead of Monday's deadline.

Yes, the room will be available a few minutes ahead of kickoff, so aim to get there a few minutes early.  Just head for the main league page and there'll be a link to enter the draft, which is a separate pop-up screen.
