Looking forward to it.

Can we keep 2 players this season?

Although this season I would love that, I think it's not fair on everyone and makes the draft much less interesting.

I would like to repeat my request from last year that the WR/TE position be changed to a true FLEX (WR/TE/RB) though...

What do you guys think about making it into a money league this year?

I wouldn't be adverse as long as it wasn't too excessive !

Any chance I could join in with fantasy this year?

LSU the Big Ben one is hilarious. As a Lions fan I also very much enjoyed the 'LOL no' part of Stafford's.

I'm not against it, but I'm also not rich so it would have to be a small amount - £10 or something.

Geno Smith got sucker punched in the locker room. Broken jaw, needs surgery. Out 6-10 weeks. Peak Jets.

Really wish the Jets were on Hard Knocks this year. Ashame because that would have been some quality television

Has anyone ever done an auction league?

Completely had to Urban dictionary this!

I have, they are fun and a bit more tactical because you can prioritise the player you actually want rather than what is available at your slot. But I don't think they produce as competitive a league - the ones I've done in the past there were always a few people who bid too much on one player and then had a really imbalanced team - the snake draft is a better option unless everyone in the league is very experienced, I think.

Like the idea of the flex being RB/WR/TE. Thought that flex position seemed really weird last year.

The Cleveland Browns are letting their fans reserve postseason tickets right now. Nice to see the last 12 seasons hasn't dented their optimism.

It's what I do mainly. I find them a lot better.

As always, draft day is the Sunday before the start of the season, so September 6th.

I'll let you all fight over what time. Currently it's set to 6pm BST.

Just waiting on @cwy21 to check in, otherwise someone else is in.

By far the most fun I've had drafting were in auction drafts. Hilarious/entertaining stuff, but definitely more of a niche thing.

I've not done one before, just wondering if it made the process a more interesting experience. Looking forward to our draft again though. Are we all in again for a 12 team, or dropping back to 10? Guess will we randomising the draft pick order later in August again?

Can't wait for NFL season to get underway. We start with a tough game against Packers though...
