You should look to draft Johnny Manziel - he's in for a great season

Who knows this could have worked if you suggested someone who is draft-able. 0/10

Todd Gurley out for the season 

So this would probably means there is a 1/14 chance Todd drops down a spot. 2/10

Just to check, everyone has Justin Blackmon as 1.01 pick on their boards too right?

Shit, maybe im missing a trick here. 7/10.

Edit: just when i was going to put him 1.01 in my pre draft rankings, find he is also not draftable. 2.5/10. extra 0.5 for waisting my precious research time

Have to catch up on everything that happened while i was away........

Snachez cut, Bradford traded (yay!), forsett cut but might be re-signed by the ravens?! anything im missing?

On Holiday now till the 5th so will not be on Villatalk. Definitely playing though.  Happy to do it anytime after 7pm till late for the draft on the 5th.

Joey Bosa is an absolute douche.

Yeah thats ridiculous. Literally costing him his rookie season because he isnt happy with what is probably better than his worth

If for example there are 18 team confirmed and we are splitting into 2 leagues, will it be 2 teams of 9 or 10 and 8?

Phone Vodafone to cancel and they offered unltd mins and texts and 14gb data plus Spotify for 12 months for £19 per month. Not a bad deal. I also get 4gb roaming in Europe.

£19:20? Thats the deal they are currently doing. Here!

I think im going to switch from 3 since mine changed from £12 to £30 per month.

@limpid im pretty sure you used to be a great believer in monthly rolling contracts. are you still? how often do you change?

I've found giffgaff very good. Three were pretty decent too, but the signal at my home on their network was garbage.

I always shied away from Giff Gaff as i travel a decent amount* and they always were terrible with roaming. Seem better now but still think i prefer the Vodafone deal.

*2 years ago, i have a few trips to the US totalling about 2 months. Was amazing to be able to use data there for free the hole time on my £12 contract.

Pretty sure that isn't actually a 'split' as such - the 2km eggs contain everything below the blue bar, 5km eggs everything under the orange bar including the 2km stuff, 10km can be any of them.

How sure? id be pretty sure it is the actual split, if not then must be coincidence that i believe all my eggs have done that.

Caught a effing zubat in 10k egg yesterday was very pissed off!

You sure? If so it was a glitch. The below is split of hatchings

Also very interesting from your side. Thanks. I know a cage fighter who's also a really nice bloke. But he's out to get as close to killing people without actually killing them as possible. Otherwise he's not competitive surely.

I love to watch MMA, to me its the ultimate sport/competition. just you and another guy in a ring. It can get fairly gruesome though, especially if you dont follow the sport. Its crazy how technical it all is.

However i have never tried MMA, because it must be impossible to train and spar without getting injuries.

In boxing, i have had a fair few bloody noses, bloody lips and injured hands but never a broken nose or concussion. TBH Iv only had 5 fights but spar twice a week (which isnt much different)

I actually dont really watch boxing but thats because IMO Professional boxing is broken with all the belts and organizations

Sorry, personal opinion. I realise it's not everyone's. I believe it's barbaric and should be consigned to the same historical bin as cockfighting and foxhunting.

Interesting. Im actually an amateur boxer and may be the most docile person you meet. I obviously dont think its barbaric, theres alot of technique and athleticism involved. 

I am super competitive and have always prefered physical sports though, i think as you cant really hide in them (Lacrosse, Ice Hockey, Rugby, GAA)

As for comparing it to watching/following animals tearing each other to shreds, i feel no need to comment.

FYI: found your comments interesting, i am not offended

Was it not Costa in the crowd after he scored as well? Was only half watching so may not have been him but I thought that was an automatic yellow card. 

Conte was in the crowd hugging fans and everything. Reacted like it was the champions league final.

Apparently thats the norm for him, which i think will be mostly enjoyable (if it doesnt start to get tedious)

You can play a WR or TE as ours is W/T.

Some flex's are R/W/T meaning you can play a RB instead.

RB's are the usual point horses but we only have W/T.

Yes the scoring in ours is quite different to the standard way (or PPR)

We have points for completions, carries & receptions.

this means players that touch the ball most are vital. Makes RBs way more important for us

Got a Lickitongue this morning to take me to 113.

I've decided that you get the same eggs in Pokestops, this is after I hatched 4 Ekans in a row from the pokestop that is in work.

What I'm going to do now is basically only try and have 1 egg at a time, maybe 2 (1 hatching and 1 in stock) make a database of where I got the egg from and what was in it.

I have no need for pokeballs at the mo as I've 80 odd great balls and 25 ultras and I only try to catch pokemon I need to evolve or don't have.

I think this will result in less eggs hatching but also if I can rule out which stop is giving me a 2k egg with a Pidgey and find the one that gives me a Charmander it could prove very fruitful.

I had a look online and a guy said he hatched 10 Lapras in a row from 10k eggs he was getting near his house, so I feel like this could work.

This might be why i have hatched at least 5 jynxes from 10km eggs. I already had caught a few before even my first, Has been unbelievably frustrating.

Think i am pretty much done with the game at this stage.

A 20 team draft is gonna be slim pickings after round 8.

Better dig out those sleepers !

Wow, any major injuries and you are going to be done for. like QB, can see teams at times having no playing QB some weeks. Guess it opens alot of trades

If there is 16-20 teams would it not be better to split into 2 leagues?

And I picked them up 

I'm in, name self explanatory. 

And I'm pretty sure that's the same way we set up last year, it wouldn't change itself would it. We definitely 100% had a WR/TE flex. Either 2 or 3 starting WR's, but must be 2 if it says that now. I'm proposing we change our waiver system to FAAB. Basically you get 100$ or however much at start of season and you bid on players rather than being on a waiver list. If you run out you can still add players for 0$ if nobody outbids you. Fairest way I believe.

Anybody else got any suggestions or changes?

whats wrong with the way it was, in order of draft, then once you pick up from the waiver you to the back of the queue? seems fair

and yep, im good with monday

Just now, Brumerican said:

So there is a flex WR/TE and 7 bench players ?

That was what we did last year, right?

maybe next year will be his! edit - this is nothing to do with me playing him first game which i have only just seen

London Gnats are in

I will get this set up soon and we can live draft after the last pre season game as per usual?

Great, although im away till late on the 4th so presume that means ill probably miss the draft.

Just hatched my second 10km Egg.

Aerodactyl. Same as my first 10km egg.

 

Livid

Done 4 x 10km eggs now: 1 eevee, 1 Jynx (caught maybe 10 of them already), 2 x pinsar

so i feel your pain.

Went for a walk round Hyde Park today, great for pokestops but had 4 x 2km eggs to hatch, walked the distance. Eggs just vanished without hatching, no new pokemon. Very frustration.

At least it was a nice walk, i guess
