yahoo please ... and no silly trades 
I'll defend my title. I love those tiebreakers.
We should have a league rule about people dumping their whole teams though.

So that's 3. I'll commish it and make sure dumping doesn't happen.
I'll do it obviously.
Christ, I have one title already. I might as well try for another title in a different sport.

Same league format as last year--I'll give it a shot.
Count me in. I enjoyed last year, but as the others have expressed concern about the debacle of "team dumping" and trade irregularities, I would hope some ground rules or something can be put in place to make it fair and more fun.
Count me in also. Yahoo has a nice on-line module to do the draft.
Here come the saints marching in

I really don't think we'll get everyone online at the same time to do a draft bearing in mind the different time zones we all live in. I think we'd have to draft either by email or on a message board.
It might be hard to actually have a draft. We might just want to rate the players ourselves and have an electronic draft.
Why don't we go by last year's standings and let the crappier teams from last year draft first.
Of course, not even that would help me get into the top half of the league.

I would like to have some kind of a draft (e-mail looks to be the easiest way), rather than rate the players and get an electronic draft. If we start in the next week or so we should get at least 7-8 rounds .
.Due to governmental constraints, I could only go through a "real" draft-- rather than the computer generated one of last year, on a Saturday--work wouldn't allow and Sunday I'm either ushering at my church or subjected to my wife's cult. Either way, the logistics or a live draft might be difficult over a wide variety of time zones.

I'm not familiar with the Yahoo fantasy football. Could someone provide a link to it? Do I have to join Yahoo? At present, I don't yahoo.
Yes, you have to join yahoo to be able to play the NFL fantasy football chalenge.
<a href="http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1" target="_blank">This should be a good link</a>
Dans, when are you going to set up the league?

Dans, when are you going to set up the league?
The league is set up already - I'm just waiting for final numbers (i.e. we need more players really otherwise it won't be competitive) and confirmation from folks about what kind of draft they prefer/can do.
If you need more players than posting a thread in the manchester forum should draw more attention.
Can you all pm me your yahoo email addresses please? Looks like we'll have to draft deep rosters as we have so few players - need to make it competitive somehow.
Anyone else interested in this? We have only 7 so far.
Do we have to have a yahoo e-mail address for this thingie?
Isn't 7 enough?
At least 8 are needed, preferably 10.
I'd like to join.
You all have pms with league details.

I really wish this league would not use the auto-draft function...I like choosing my players.
So, everyone ready?
(highly doubtful I know but feck it!)
Draft on the 31st - auto (because only you, Da Bears, would be there!)

I'll set draft status to ready tonight at around 10pm BST.
Quick questions.
How many total players can be fielded at once? How many at each position?

Love to, however, can't be doing with the daily line up thingy, too much like hard work.
Let me know what the dealio is.

It'll be daily changes but that doesn't mean you have to check in daily - you can set your lineups well in advance for each day. You can also just change your lineups on the Sunday and leave it for the week - you may miss out on some games though. Check the thread below for more details.True Treble Reds said:
