      @Alex:

      I got introduced to football about 5 years ago as my best mate is American and have followed it since.
      For my sins, I'm a Bengals fan..

      Bless you haha! The only bet you might win with the Bengals is the over/under on how many of their players will get arrested during the season

        Haha, we shall see…
        I put a 50 quid bet on with a friend 2 years ago that the bengals would reach the afc championship by 2015.. I'm still hopeful!

          Cool, Alex.  Good to know.  True, the Bengals have had their struggles, but they are actually on the cusp of big things, I think.  I'm betting the Ravens will take a step back this year, and the Steelers D isn't what it was.  I wouldn't be surprised to see the Bungles win their division this year.  This is actually one of the greatest strengths of the NFL.  Teams have the ability to turn things around with solid management, drafting, and coaching.  Baseball, for instance, is mostly dominated by large market teams with fat TV contracts.

            Yeah all joking and bias aside I completely agree with you about them winning the afc north this year. With the players the ravens have lost, and the way the steelers played last season, is make them early favourites. Hopefully the apparent reliance on rookie offence this season will pay off..

            Who do you guys all support?

              To give you my history of involvement with NFL, I loved the Raiders after they were featured on an episode of Knight rider in 1985, used to watch them constantly when the UK Channel 4 had the rights to broadcast NFL matches, when that ended so did my brief career as a Raiders fan…..that was 1993.

              Has much changed since?

                    Not to fussed about them stinking, in REAL football I am a Newcastle United fan, and we have proudly stank for over 50 years.

                          And their colors are black and silver. Yeah, they still have some of the best unis in all of American sports.

                          He is the king of the city, right now. I've never heard one thing that is even remotely negative about RW. I think he will end up passing Steve Largent as the greatest player in franchise history.

                                  Alright guys, I've had some down time since the little guy has been sleeping. I've compiled a list of the top rated players at each position and the top 300 players based on a PPR league settings. I will send these files to everyone and these files will be what you can use to draft your players. As the draft goes on, I will update everyone's team as well as the top 300 list to reduce people drafting those that are already off the board.

                                  The season begins on September 5th so my plan is to begin the drafting on August 1st

                                  Still have atleast 6 spots open for those still wanting to get in

                                      Just one suggestion.. Online live draft is 80% of the fun in fantasy football, why not have it on a Sunday around noon, in the USA. Which would make it around 5 in uk. takes about 1 1/2 to 2 hours

                                        ^I will have to respectfully disagree. I think people enjoy FFL for different reasons. I play FFL to compete against friends, and make that Dolphins v. Browns game on Thursday night interesting. The smack talk is icing.

                                        I've only ever had fun doing a draft in person with friends, beer, and BBQ. Online drafts have always been a means to an end, for me.

                                        Having said that, I don't think your idea is terrible. Noon EST is 5p UK and 9a PST, right? That's not bad at all. I have absolutely zero problem with the draft model bagley has proposed. My only thought is it will be a lot more leg work on his end. If that's something that you are comfortable with, bagz, I am all for it.

                                          I hear you, I was only half serious. The live draft is fun though, to me. The problem i see with bagleys draft style is by the end it would be near impossible to know who is picked already and who is not. Espessially for the people who don't really know all the positions and every player on every team, everyone will start repicking guys, bagz will say that person is already picked and it will start all over, and with say 16 rounds times 12 guys thats 196 seperate people or defenses to keep track of. Espn does it for you all at once in a live draft.

                                            I agree in principal with the online draft being better, but am happy to leave the decision with you guys.

                                            I've got a friend who would be keen to join if there are spaces that need filling.
