    No problem. We won't be starting for 3-4 months anyway

    When we thinking of drafting? Not sure when best to do it for a dynasty league? Last week in August?

    Start the draft post the nfl draft and can have a whole summer of trading.

    Trading for me is the most fun part of dynasty

    What day(s) of the week and time(s) best suits everyone?

    What brinty said was a good idea, we'll do it after the real NFL draft which is from the 25-27th of April.

    If we’re looking at May some time, yeah probably Tuesdays or Wednesdays around 20:00 or 21:00. I’m assuming everyone is on Irish time!?

    The majority takes away the rights of the others. Mob rule.

    Ok, but it's going to be difficult to find a date that suits everyone without at least gauging who can do when...

    People are always going to give out, we're on an internet forum...I'm almost sure that the entire reason these things were set up was for people to give out...and organise fantasy football of course!

    I can't agree with that sentiment.

    A pool is a good idea. But we must try and fit everyone in. If possible.

    Yep in dynasty everyone needs to be available cos in the initial draft you can be set back years and especially with IDP if be your team is auto picked
    There's lots of time post draft to do it before we start the season

    No, I'm +7. If the draft time doesn't work someone else can take my spot.

    What time suits you Xavi6 in your local time?

    Morning/afternoon Irish time is best but again, don't try suit one person for the draft. I always auto draft with my main team in the Boards league and haven't been relegated from the Premier Division yet!

    Anytime after 7.30pm works well for me during the week, folks.

    Also, will the league incorporate rookies only or all players that are eligible? So, for example Barkley, Beckham & Adams are available for selection as are Murray, Metcalf & Jacobs.

    Aw lord, a 16 person league with IDP is gonna take forever to draft! No liquids for an hour before the draft!

    If we can get enough numbers I'd be up for have two 12 team leagues but let's see if anybody else is interested.
