I think we need @maqrollto drop Cooks but Ingram is in the free agent pool currently.

Aren't you able to do it as commish?

Maybe it's worth having co-commissioners next year? 2/3 people who all have same privileges.

So having gone through the transactions I believe this is how it should be @kkr:

Brumerican - Laviska Shenault Jr, Keelan Cole, Dalvin Cook, Lamar Jackson, Dallas Goedert, Pittsburgh DEF, Daniel Carlson, DK Metcalf, Diontae Johnson, Jonathan Taylor, Joshua Kelley (All on bench)

@Dante_Lockhart - Mark Ingram (Jonathan Taylor), Brandin Cooks (DK Metcalf)

@rjw63 - Greg Ward (Dalvin Cook)

@maqroll - Jimmy Graham (Brandin Cooks)

I've dropped Pittsburgh DEF & Diontae Johnson. Just need Houston DEF back to me. They're on waivers until Friday, so provided no one puts in a claim or unless KKR changes it before then, I can pick them up again.

The "interesting" one there is J.Graham back to maqroll. He picked up Brandin Cooks, who was dropped by Dante for DK Metcalf. Every other transaction was either not directly related or the player is still available.

So I was interested in Pitsburgh D and Big Ben, thought I'd leave them because I thought that's what we were doing.

Of course, they've been snapped up, so I've had Dalvin.

Should have left them I tells ya!

Sorry, didn't realise Pitt DEF were part of the list.

I've deleted that Yahoo completely in the hope it removes my team .

When there's more sympathy for an "imaginary" troll poster who deliberately ruined everything than for a tenured  VTer like me who put in a fair bit of effort then it's time to walk away for good.

My message to Ravens Flock still stands . I wish you all the misfortune in the Universe.

Your team will still exist even if you aren't using it. @kkr can sort out the moving of players.

With regards to the rest, my personal opinion is that you've created far more integrity issues than the random team. Yes it is probably is someone trying it on with a second team but at no point have they used that to collude.

The message you sent was quite frankly bang out of order, there's still a person on the other end.

So, as someone has already taken at least one of the players we were going to leave on waivers, is there a fair way to allocate the others of interest?

Or will the players in question be dropped?

 

I believe @kkr has the ability to put them all back on @Brumerican's team, but putting them on the bench so he just picks up 0 every week, but nobody else can use the players?

Well that lasted long.

But honestly,  how does someone we don't know access the league AND bypass waiver wire restrictions?

The invite link was posted on page 3. What happened with bypassing the waiver wire?

Integrity.

If anything though you quitting compromises that more. Say you just leave everyone on your bench for the rest of the season; 13 teams get a guaranteed win, 2 teams don't play you and therefore have it harder. (myself and @Tubby)

Their email address off Yahoo if anybody wants to try it?

@Brumerican I get your concerns that it may be somebody trying something but at this point nothing has actually happened (apart from some awful draft picks). It doesn't put anyone else at a disadvantage. Saying the season is ruined does seem a bit of a stretch?

Thought I should clear this up. This is a poor attempt at humour and not actually the case

There was a user @TS who express an interest early in this thread, back in July. Could they be Alex?

It's not TS. That's my bro, who actually did want to play but didn't get round to sorting it until draft day, by which time we already had 16 teams.

 They'd have to have the league link to get in, surely? It's not a public league from what I can gather.
I guess so long as they don't trade with anyone it's not really an issue. Then again, if they do, and it's a massively lop-sided trade, then we'll know who the cheat is and a double ban can be handed out. With a bit of luck they'll reveal who they are.

I haven't checked back but I'm pretty sure the link was posted in this thread.

I agree it's weird, but nothing dodgy has happened as of yet. There's no point disbanding the league or throwing games because of it?

Im pretty sure it was always done by reverse order of draft, which is standard and which means you actually wouldnt have got Hines or Kelly as brown stuff would have been 2nd on waivers and i, third.

Yeah, fair enough you're right. I was going by this.

@rhyscartwright_avfc seems to have got both his Waivers in despite other wanting those players. Does that mean it doesnt even reset for the week once youve taken a player? i.e last in league could take the top 5 or so players on waiver before anyone else can get one?

Yeah must admit I wasn't expecting to be able to get both, thinking it was the same system as last year. Although I would have got Hines no matter what, judging by waiver claims.

Not sure if possible, but if @kkr can change it back to whatever the setting was previously it would be better, expect most would agree?

Looks like "continual rolling list" judging by this (https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN6427.html)

I'd suggest getting rid of Week 17. Infamous for teams resting players.

Also, 1 minute per pick seems a lot. Works out to a 3 hour draft!

If we're going with 2 separate leagues, my suggestion for relegation and promotion would be;

2 teams with worst record in top division get relegated.

In bottom division, the playoff winner & team with best overall record get promoted. Only thing is would have to work out what to do in the scenario of it being the same team with best record and playoff win. Potentially team with 2nd best record?

I'm in.

1st place with most points. Waiting for the inevitable 1st round playoff loss.

Worth noting that this doesn't include the traditional top 6 but Grealish is absolutely miles ahead of everyone else for open play chances created. Matty Targett & El Ghazi not doing too bad either

I like the tactics of not playing a kicker as well  

There's only been 2 games this season where me playing a kicker would have changed the result (ironically one of those weeks was where I got it wrong and didn't play one and lost although that was more to do with Darnold getting only 2 points!). Plus didn't want to drop anyone for a kicker when had to deal with both TE's on a bye and guaranteed playoffs already.

We could get rid of them and it would make no difference to the game whatsoever.

Beat the leader and still 12th!

Top 5 have clinched play off places and from positions 6 to 12, there is only 1 game in it. 

Resting my starters for the playoffs weren't I.

In all seriousness though, would've won if I didn't play Matt Ryan instead of Jameis at the last minute. 27 points against Tampa's secondary is shocking. Plus TE woes with Kelce/Henry both on byes, Brate (a week after 10 receptions) had 1 target.

Quoting that post didn't tag me so I'm presuming it didn't for others.

@kkr should be able to just put him back on your team though.

I'm presuming you both think the Wilson side won?

I don't see it as one sided personally. Dorsett and Drake both offer limited value. Russ is a top QB but he's got Dak who actually has a better points per game record, and Davante Adams should be back this week, with Rodgers finally throwing it Davante should put up good numbers.

Yep, still not scoring many Fantasy points

It's fantasy points I'm on about. He's actually fourth in total points among all positions. Only Deshaun Watson, Pats D and Niners D have more.

Seahawks are good but Wilson is absolute shite for fantasy purposes.

Now you've traded him I may as well say it. You do realise he's 2nd among QB's total scoring and 4th among QB's per game?
