Good work Perrin, thanks. Looking forward to seeing the draft order.

I voted NFC. It's just a personal preference and there's really not much in it but I think there's slightly better teams to choose from in the NFC and not as much disparity in the divisions either.

I've always held an irrational hatred towards the AFC anyway :pac:

I went for the nfc made no difference to me, have the chargers in pro 10 so I'm happy with a new challenge
Are we doing three or four seasons,

Such a tough decision ! I had to count out how many teams I hate the most in each conference and that done it for me! Would have like to use the bills,fins, Texans,Ravens but I'm sure I can get them in the pro 8 hopefully.
I voted nfc

It's always been 3 seasons I believe with the gameweeks ranging from Monday-Thursday,Friday-Tuesday,Wednesday-Sunday.

That's grand, wasn't sure as we started later last year on the xb1,

Another vote for the NFC would probably seal it.

Lads, is there anything to be said for trying to start the franchise (not necessarily play the games, but have it set up etc) before the week 1 roster update? It'd just avoid getting ratings bumped up/dropped significantly if someones team goes off on one in week 1.

I'm not so big a fan of that, as you miss out on recent cuts/additions.

If we go with the roster that's there now, would it include the deals that Panthers and Bill's done today

PerrinV2

Rumour has it the first pick is in....oh I put up the draft list earlier in the first post and some details,I just never said it...:pac:

With regards the rosters,I think we've always gone with the week 1 update,I'd be leaning towards that.

Was thinking of taking the Vikings for the banter in NFC north but impossible for me to pass up the Cowboys after using them. Americas team!

Its only just dawned on me that Dave gets to continue his Tight End record, with Jimmy Graham being with the Seahawks.

Pencilling him in for a reception record at some stage anyway! :pac:

Thought I'd get away with that unnoticed

If I can't have Gronk, then I'll have the next best thing.

Edit: Yup, just in case anyone was wondering.
M12 Browns - Jeremy Shockey (Fantasy Draft Rosters)
M13 Patriots - Gronk
M14 Giants - Brandon Myers
M15 Niners - Vernon Davis
M16 Seahawks - Jimmy Graham

Busy today,I'll read through and update everything later when I can,I do know Nelbert hasn't been on boards since the start of the month so he might have to be skipped.

PerrinV2

Ya Nelbert hasn't been on since the 31st of last month according to his profile,might just jump over him for now.

Nice pick! I had them 2nd after the Cowboys as one of the top teams I'd pick although I knew they'd never drop that far.

Is it my pick lads? Or do we want to fire Nelbert a PM or message on Xbox (if he has been on there recently, has anyone seen him logged on?) and give him another day?

He hasn't been on xbox either for about 2 weeks according to his profile.

You might as well,if he were offline for a day or two no harm waiting but for the time he's been offline another day probably won't make a difference.

Knex is going to kill me (sorry mate ) but I'm going to select the New York Giants here.

I've literally played with every other available NFC team apart from the Redskins and Bears, and the Giants are the team that have stood out to me.

On offense, they have one of the better QB's in the game (trust me, after playing for an extended period of time with Nick Foles yesterday Eli is like Marino), an excellent WR corps and serviceable RB's.

On defense, they run a 4-3 (which I prefer in this years edition after being a 3-4 man for as long as I can remember), have good user options along that D-line (with one elite option in JPP) and two top CB's.

There's certainly areas that need massively improvement (the LB corps are pretty horrific in all honesty) but at this stage of the draft I'm happy to take them. I'm sure someone will end up taking the Eagles too so there should be good banter in the division.

PM on the way to Carroller.

PerrinV2

Didn't see that one coming :eek:

Knex*

You bollocks :pac:


Rock might kill you more. He was going to take them but left them for me. Now don't you feel bad :P

Carroller

I wanted the giants. Gotta do some research

Ah there's actually still a few good teams left, such as Panthers, Falcons, and Eagles. I'd say even the Bucs and 49ers will be decent once you get them into year 2.

Anyone but Redskins, really. Although Paully has turned me completely off the Rams now, with his take on that offense!

I'll just have to wait till I'm home tonight to take a look at the Rosters and so on and see what takes my fancy.

Carroller

Iv been playing constantly with the giants since I got the game and they were my number one pick.

I'll be choosing Philadelphia Eagles.

The only other team in played with and enjoyed running with Murray.
