Fantasy 2016 - 11th Hour League Discussion

[bgt2110]

Have sent Chism's team to him via PM.

Also pulled down keepers from the nfl site for :
Toadvine
hodor
Shermy
stupidlikeafox
Gridiron Warrior

Need the others to send theirs to me

 

[Chism]

Can someone explain to me how the draft will work and the what happens to the rest of your roster after you have chosen your 5 players to keep etc.

Is it a rookie draft? How do you acquire players that are not rookies and free agents? Does your roster only retain your keepers prior to the draft? When will rosters be updated on the ESPN site?

etc etc!

 

[stupidlikeafox]

All players who are not selected as keepers go back into the draft pool.

 

[bgt2110]

we can start the draft. I can't progress the league until all keepers are received.

Ochre and Dixie the hot early favourites this season

 

[Chism]

Was hoping to get a pick in sometime today but not to be with Pies_10 not on since yesterday.

Watch now i get tagged at midnight to make a pick when i start work at 7am with a 5am outta bed and wont be home till 6pm at least after waiting all day today to make a pick!

Anyway IF i get tagged to make a pick it will be tomorrow after work around 7pm guys with lots of homework to do as all players not kept as keepers are free to draft.

Have to remember the name of our league (11th hour) pretty much sums up the league in general. The draft won't move as quickly as cutthroat, it will probably finish the night before the first game. Don't worry about it

At this rate we wont finish again

 

[stupidlikeafox]

Give Pies_10 an hour otherwise move on and he can pick whenever he is on next?

 

[bgt2110]

He has until 5pm and then Chism can pick

 

[bgt2110]

It was hard enough chasing people up for their keepers and getting everything transferred into the ESPN site. Hopefully now the draft has started people will log in more regularly.

Will set a 24 hour pick time limit from 5pm tonight for each pick going forward if people agree.

OK for this

 

[Toadvine]

agreed

I have picked and surprised Rawls was not a keeper on anyones list.

I had to check the keeper list like 5 times to confirm!

 

[cats_09]

I'm happy with the 24 hour time limit

 

[Chism]

I'm happy with the 24 hour time limit

Are you free to pick now mate?

Or does Pies 10 get another 24hrs before anyone else can pick? Once skipped that's it IMO and the draft goes on with you on the clock now and Pies 10 can select whenever he wants or chooses to log in.

I am not surprised this league was not finished last year like previously mentioned above come Week 1!

I'm on my train trip home - doing a bit if research and will be able to take my pick shortishly.

 

[Chism]

Tossed up HARD between CJ and Rawls.

I could see both going in the 1st Rd and they are gone in the Top 4!

 

[Toadvine]

Is there an easy way to see which players are available?

Nope!

Gotta search for a position of need in your own team after you have set keepers and then see who is left that/best of the rest etc that is not being kept by others.

That's what i did anyway!

Cheers dude. This could prove challenging!

 

[Gridiron Warrior]

All about being organised and hoping the others aren't and miss a quality player

 

[Dixie Flatline]

I presume we're not actually awarding 25 points per kick-off or punt return yard?
