maqroll Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 Sorry to those who couldn't join. Especially those who would have made the draft! Capping the league at 10 is the right way because otherwise you're scraping the bottom of the barrel for players who might not even get regular minutes or if they do, they play for scrub teams. Would love to see a second 10 player league happen Someone should start one and promote it on the Other Football forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well as you didn't iclude those who were in previously and then didn't even send a reminder about it ...... should be redone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously everyone involved got regular updates via tags etc. 1st time I've missed out ... not happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draft is 8pm GMT on Monday August 1. 8 team minimum, 12 team maximum. It's a head-to-head League, meaning we compete directly against each other. Let's get 12 players. Ah - here is the post that should've been made tagging previous participants and the previous winner!!!!! Instead it's all changed and 'enthusiastic' people are omitted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsky_11 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 How many aren't in that wanted to be? And were there many of the 10 that were in that missed the draft? Depending on numbers and how many missed the draft might be a way to flip the one league of 10 into two leagues of 8 or something? I missed draft last night as had to take week old daughter into hospital at same time so happy to have another go if that works and gets more involved.

No idea as cannot see the league as it filled up so quickly and omitted the others, will look through the thread to see if any obvious omissions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth expanding to 16 max or splitting if we get more? @maqroll missed this (bit of a theme) - I see @AndyM3000 and I at least didn't get in. So the previously agreed 12 would've worked well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 @LancsVillansorry to have upset you, buddy! A few things- I started this topic 3 weeks ago. I was expecting to see the topic started but didn't, so started it up myself figuring anyone with an interest would be looking for it as we approach the new season. I also posted it in the Other Football forum to get more eyeballs. As for sending reminders, I don't know/remember who played last year or even how to get email addresses for those people. So my apologies if I've usurped someone else's responsibilities here, but I just wasn't seeing anything about draft fantasy whereas the other fantasy topic had been active for weeks. So, let's find a way to get everyone involved, there's no need to stress out about it. Right now we have 10 players. I'd suggest quickly finding 10 more the way I did, by putting a thread in Other Football. With two leagues of ten, we can combine top 5 from each next year and get a proper 2 tier set up going. If we can only get 6 more teams, I'd be ok with deleting our 10 man league and doing two leagues of 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LancsVillan Posted August 2, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 2, 2022 @maqroll- you made the post and I replied that I would be in on the very 1st page yet heard nothing, like last year's winner You don't need email you simply tag them from last season's thread..... which was also being updated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 So, I missed a few posts there, that's my mistake. I'll just delete the league and you can start over, @LancsVillan I'm not trying to make enemies playing fantasy football ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had time to run it again this year I would have offered when it was discussed, I have time to play but not run which is why I replied so quickly, same with the NFL Yahoo which I've been playing even longer and BTW there were two words in Caps not the whole message......
