Strawberry Fields Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) Joined My team name is Strawberry Fields. I'm not really that clued up on NFL, i watched a few games a few years ago but fell away from it due to the time differences. I will try to keep track of whats going on this season, keeping the team up to date should help. Two places left. edit: ok, first question. Im confused about how the draft works. Do we get to pick players ourselves or is automatic? Edited August 22, 2023 by Two Tents 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaijin Posted August 22, 2023 Author Share Posted August 22, 2023 Hello mate @Two Tents Glad you could join us The draft is automatic and completely random in terms of the order our teams are picked for us. We could do a Live Draft, but that would need all of us to be online at the same time for an extended period; I don't think that would work. I get stoned. I would probably forget to show up myself There are options whereby you can set rules. "I want to take a running back in the first round" for example. You can tell it not to pick certain players, or, say, "take the highest ranked Quarterback remaining in round 3 of the draft". The players are ranked by the "experts" at NFL.com, but you can rank the players the way you want to, if you want to Personally, I've never touched any of that stuff. I feel that I would probably make things worse for myself if I did Here's last year's thread, you might get something useful if you give it a read 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get to the championship game one year back in the early 2000s I told myself after last season I'd do a load of research over the summer months and be better prepared this season - didn't happen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaijin Posted August 26, 2023 Author Share Posted August 26, 2023 It's Saturday The computer drafts our respective teams on Monday morning at 0600 Our competition cannot start as we currently have an uneven number of teams, so we're going to have to sort something by Sunday night. I've sent a couple of PMs out asking folk to please assist. If you can twist anyone's arm and get them interested, or in so much pain that they can't resist, I just need an email address to get the invite sent to them. Please and thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaijin Posted August 26, 2023 Author Share Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) Right, I've managed to twist an arm, so we now have a full compliment and can draft as planned on Monday morning at 6am. You won't need to do anything at all. Sometime after 6, you'll have a team to play with Edited August 26, 2023 by Gaijin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
