Allllllrighty, Have FINALLY got around to setting up this year's fantasy football league so get signing up people! Rules and scoring, etc are the same as last year (if anyone wants anything changed bring it up on here and we can all decide on it). At the moment, please only sign up one team each until we see how many teams we have. The draft is currently set for 11.15pm on Monday 1st September as I had to put in a time before it would let me create the league. However, this can be changed so if people want me to change it let me know. The draft will be a live draft, however if you do not wish to draft live make sure you rank your players as they will be automatically picked for you. To sign up, go to: football.fantasysports.yahoo.comYou can sign up by clicking on "Join a league" in the "Football 08" box on the right of the screen (not the "football plus" one, as you have to pay for that!). League ID: 566503 Password: oilcats Any problems/queries let me know! Cheers, Mike

Good to see people signing up...We still need more though so keep 'em coming!
I've had a request to make the draft earlier on Monday. How would 7.30pm suit people?

yeah, I'd prefer it to be earlier too - I've recently fixed my internal clock, 11.30pm is too late for me now lol (plus I'm going back to Dundee on Tuesday

Mike. 25 team roster. 10 -12 teams. If we are drafting 250 -300 players at 11.15pm we will still be there at 11.15am Tuesday, or maybe later?. And I have to get the train to Glasgow at 11.07am Tuesday . You Marc and Stu did the live draft last year - how long did it take? Ian

Actually, I expected it to take ages last year, but it was over in about 1hour 15minutes! It goes really fast in the end.
I'm fine with making it earlier, however, would it be ok if we made it 7.30pm on Tuesday please? I've just realised I've got a meeting on Monday night! (D'oh!)

guys that's us up to 12 teams, awesome. I agree that this may get pretty time consuming so mike is gonna change the draft time to 8pm/8.30pm. I assume all are agreed this is the most sensible course of action. Day will remain Monday. Be warned, I always win and I have several out of date fantasy magazines to refer to.

Awesome stuff guys, thanks to everyone that's signed up.
(There's still time if anyone else wants to sign up - feel free!)
As Adam says, the draft will be at 8.30pm tomorrow (Monday) night.
Hopefully this suits everyone, it certainly seems to be the case with everyone I've asked. If it doesn't suit then you should have been at training! (Haha..)
According to Yahoo, the draft order will be randomly selected half an hour before the draft.
Any questions just let me know,
Cheers,
Mike

Congrats to Mike for organising a highly enjoyable draft! Most enjoyable moment was Scotty passing on his hero Tom Brady and then drafting his anti-hero Brett Favre! Ian
