Is anyone gonna beat the runaway leader??

Don't think I have to play him at all.

I've mostly been lucky, im sure ill be beaten in the playoffs. Otherwise next year we will be called the London Double Champs!

Woooo 9-0....

oh wait....whats going on?

wait it was @Brumerican who dropped all his players rather than Ravens Flock?

I appreciate your stance and distaste for Ravensflock but dropping all your players makes the situation worse not better for the rest of us.

Its not only Pittsburg D top of ranking. Cook is a top 5 player, DK maybe top 5 in his position. Taylor is a workhorse RB.

I guess the league needs to be cancelled

And I'll bet he's here on VT, too. Hi Martin! 

Hi

Why do people keep saying XXX won't come if they aren't guaranteed a start?

Are teams doing that for transfers now, I can't see it. For loans I understand as the parent club needs their player developed

But no team is bringing in a player and guaranteeing him starts the player has to earn it.

What happens if you guarantee a player starts and he turns out to be terrible for you? You continue losing or you get sued. Playing guarantees are not happening, right?

I agree.

We've done good business and don't look like finishing yet.

I hope we can pull this signing off too.

New to this Gif response milarky, have I don't this right?

Done .

Might tweet at Fournette later and tell him another coach has gave up on him.

If you start a precedence and he keeps winning he'd go to playoffs, which would be worse for the league

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)

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.

Yep, it doesn't make sense for the worst team to always get first pick, us lucky players deserve the chance to get richer too. 

Long live the capitalist economy...

@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?

So how come my waiver has gone to 16 just because I was the highest scorer?  Having drafted 15th, I was 2nd on the waiver priority heading into the weekend.

Last season it was definitely based on draft order first then who had and who hadn't claimed.

I'd like my 2nd place in the waiver priority back please

This is what im getting at but even more important is that if it resets every week it takes away the decision on whether to grab a possibly good player and lose your waiver position or not. theres no advantage to not drafting a player if it resets so you grab whoever you can eveyweek.

Just sent Ravens Flock a trade as a way to communicate with him/her (Sternberger for Barkley)

If I don't get a reply and a VT username I'll be dropping all my players and sitting it out I think. 

dropping your players or his? i presume youll lock them if you drop them?

Happy enough with my Autodraft team. picking between Allen and Rapelsburger is going to cause some frustration i imagine.

Does the waiver position readjust each week so the person coming last can pick up the best player every week?

I'm now out for dinner tomorrow not tonight so think I'll be autodrafting which will be a shame

Anyone wanna trade the #1 pick?

Straight swap of all picks (14th spot) sure. If I got to give anything else up, no, leagues too deep.

I was going to put RB in the flex but changed my mind.  I've dropped the bench to no IR and only 2 subs though, so i guess a WR/TE/RB flex might work if everyone is ok with that?

only 2 subs and no IR with the covid scenarios, what if your 3 best players have 3 weeks off due to covid?

Can the flex include RB aswell as WR/TE. Seems crazy to only have 1 RB able to play

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?

team that lost in final

If you want to have a succesfull night out every time you go out, go for the ugly friend. 100% every time. Sometimes even the good looking friend will come knocking because she gets jealous.

My dad's advice: go ugly early!

im in IF goes ahead.

I disagree with you all about FIFA but i have little to compare it with. I havnt owned a console in  awhile, and it was a Wii (Madden on Wii possibly my favourite game ever)

I used to play Fifa as a kid and loved it, but the main issue was i could only play against my brother or friends. Online was a thing just about but never really used it. 

Now i play FIFA against someone roughly the same standard as me every time i want to play and go up and down divisions depending on how well i play. 

I love it it and play it more than my other games, including Zelda

That and the actual massive under reporting of cases in the UK because of the lack of testing

This is why the Mortality rate is believed to be a lot higher globally than it probably is. Amesh Adelja believes the true rate to be 0.1%-0.6%. he works this out using S.Korea's rate and understanding that despite Korea having great testing set up there will still be a huge number of infected not getting tested.

I wonder how long it will take for the atmosphere to change from being that of a testimonial/friendly one to a proper hostile home crowd with deafening 3rd down noise etc IOW a real NFL experience.

A While unfortunately. I get why people wouldn't change due to loyalty etc. but if you can get past that, way more enjoyable to support your local team (the only one in your continent)

We've discussed this before but if Jags move to London, i will support them instead of the Eagles and probably get a season ticket.
