No worries, for a second I thought I'd done something wrong, but I think there's a delay between me accepting the trade and it going through.

Ok guys, I've entered the draft results into the ESPN site.
ESPN seems to force you to enter the entire 32-man roster for each team, so please make sure to double-check your teams!
At one point, I had the wrong Gronkowski brother on someone's roster, so it's pretty easy to make mistakes.

For the moment, I dropped UI's 5 lowest ranked players to make room for his draft picks.
Obviously, I can switch those players around for UI at any stage prior to Free Agency.

I've just seen that. To be honest I was probably better off not drafting because I really didn't know much about this years draft class. Cheers for autodrafting whilst I was away - when I saw the email about the roster I was thinking 'oh ****, I'm going to be the only one without players!'.

Is free agency open now or is there a time period set?

Yeah Limpars 'Best Player Available' resolution worked out very well for you! Free agency is closed for now. Think the plan is to open it in a couple weeks, builds up some anticipation and helps eat away some of the off season time I guess!

Limpar

The Trading Block details seem to have reset following the draft guys.
Let me know if you're interested in a trade, always open to offers for players or future draft picks!!

Would also be good to get an update on brinty and his status e.g. is he permanently banned from boards? what for? what does the ban mean for his participation in the league?

So Brinty's boards ban (say that 5 times fast) is up on July 1st so he'll be back then. One rumour was it was for P.E.D's, another was that he's been suspended for sending out bad trades!! I can neither confirm nor deny either of the above!

He said f*ck off and make him an offer! I'm sure he'd take Cam plus your first unborn child!

In other news... don't forget to update your Trading Block's gents, otherwise I'm going to make offers for every player physically possible (yes, like usual).

Haha no power.... just a worrying, compulsive trading disorder You should have seen me as a kid with my Premier League stickers!

Lads, I've received three frankly ridiculous trade offers in-game in the past 24 hours. Maybe they don't seem ridiculous to you, but the least you could do is explain the proposals somewhat. If you're interested in a trade please send me a message on boards.

I'm responsible for one of these 'ridiculous' trade offers...

At the end of the day, you hit reject and move on with your life. No need to turn it into a semi-dramatic post(which I realise is what I'm doing now, irony eh?). People in this league, yourself included, have made statements to me which I personally found ridiculous (and vice versa), but it's Fantasy Football. There's no right or wrong valuation in theory. Very rare somebodies gonna make a perfect offer 1st time out.

It's all a bit of craic after all, and the thing that makes this league better then most is the trading and generally activity.

When it's the same offer(s) that we have already discussed ad nauseum it becomes somewhat tedious. You're right though, easy to hit reject.

How about we both save ourselves some time and just work under the assumption that our teams are not going to trade.

Hmmm... fairly sure it was a different trade offer, but fair enough :rolleyes: just trying to pass some time!

To be fair, it was a different offer. Just somehow managed to be even worse than the last one. You have a rare talent when it comes to these trade proposals, a rare talent!

And you have an ability to value a WR who has never broke 1k yards in his 3 years in the league higher then a guy who has averaged over 1K a season in his first 4 years in the league...

We're each special in our own ways my friend

Tristram

Jaysus, just saw you said that one of the offers was from brinty. Must look at it again. We can normally find a way to work something out. Come back quickly brinty!

Realt Dearg Sec

Can't we all just get along?

gerryfed

Well said Realt! Let's move on
