Could you put me down for the 200 IDP league and i pay in 2 instalments before draft night ?
also would we need to take a laptop or is it done by paaaaaper
be happy to help you in anyway you need
Laptop is up to you but a proper draft kit is imported from America - all the players well main ones plus some sheets of blanks come on stickers and goes on a big board. Am sure there’s a video somewhere showing the board - if anyone has a picture or anything they could load up show the newbies be useful now…
As long as Payment is made by live draft deadline all is fine - I can’t really deviate from that as I need to be sure I have the funds to guarantee prizes etc. Would be preferable if you could send in one go even if nearer the time - if you need to hide it from ‘her in doors’ so to speak just credit £100 to your own PayPal account this month and then the other when you have it and send across even if on deadline day in 1 go.

“Study the sh*t out of it”
I like your style
Right ok . well payment is upto you , i would rather pay 100 to you on 20th so im in the league and then you could look after it so i would be commited to paying the rest , anyway we’ll see .
But yeh book me in and i look forward to meeting you all , having read Matthew Berrys book and seen all the things they do just to do a offline draft .i like the sound of doing it myself i will book a hotel on payday .
Then study the shit out of it .
Very Kindly Outsiders68 has made a wee video from last years draft from footage he shot I never knew about - enjoy guys:
Thanks for sharing the video Sean although, agh makes me even more hopeful we can get a 2nd league away this year - looks like you guys had as good a time as id imagined and I’d really love to be involved this season.
Interesting to have these clips for posterity. Was interesting to watch this a year on - particularly hearing Simon (I think?) saying he picked Monte Ball because he thought he’d have a big year and then waited a round to pick LeVeon Bell because he was the only one left. Played out slightly differently in the end!
Like many things fantasy that’s what makes it fun!!
Agreed! Would be dull if we all had crystal balls…
I don’t have the skills or the equipment but shame a TV company don’t want to do a documentary on us and mic us all up as it would be interesting watching our musings a year later see how those picks and thought processes paned out.
Don’t listen to me, I’m the wooden spooner lol!
Sounds like some version of fantasy Hard Knocks
Hi Noel,
Apologies if this has been answered already. Do you know the scoring/points system for the IDP yet? If not no problem, I only ask because IDP scoring can vary quite a lot.
Cheers
Not yet buddy as I not set the league up as have to make a new ID up as NFL.com only allow 6 free teams per username and I am maxed out at 6 already with the auction draft league - however I will pretty much be going with their default scoring settings what ever that is when I set up my IDP league - but if they don’t have any will look to copy scoring settings from my only league I currently use IDP in which can be viewed here:

Hope that gives you some idea of how scoring will work for the IDP’s.
Are we tempting you in to joining the IDP league, CitrusPlayer?
Hi Noel
It’s telling me i don’t have permission to view the link you sent, but NFL.com do have standard IDP scoring settings. I have some familiarity with those from playing in my first IDP league last year so would sound good to me.
Hi Noel,
Thanks for explaining, I have not checked the link yet but I’m sure it
shall give me the info I was looking for. Much appreciated.
That’s curious as all my leagues are set to public viewable so should be able to be looked at by non league members?
Perhaps I need to look into that thanks.
Edit - I have just double checked and the leagues setting for being public viewable is checked so I can see no reason why you are unable to view this leagues settings - I would contact NFL.com via the contact us option to inform them that you are unable to view league settings of leagues that you know are 100% public viewable (as LM told you such) as they may have an error there end?
hmmm maybe, depends on how busy it gets over that weekend.
Hi Noel - managed to access the scoring settings manually by pasting in the league ID.
I think those scoring settings aren’t the NFL.com standard ones, I’ve managed I find those listed here:
http://www.nfl.com/fantasyfootball/help/custom-IDP
The ones In your league give more points to big plays like sacks, which would probably make scoring a bit more up and down and unpredictable week to week, but that could just be part of the challenge. I’d be happy to go with whatever settings the comissioner decides!
