As is always the case in the bleak mid-summer months, thoughts turn to the upcoming football season. I will be engaging in a Fantasy Premier League game somewhere I am sure - usually a few actually - but I will be playing NFL Fantasy as well. I have looked at setting up a league on the NFL.com site and it is quite complicated to play but looks a lot of fun - with a league draft weekend where each layer gets allocted picks in the draft - for example I get 4th pick, someone else gets 2nd pick etc. This is great fun having done it in Premier League in the past. It is much better when you all have different players. I have set up a league called the National Greyhound Conference..
If anyone is interested in playing just say so on here - ideally we should have 12 players - not sure if we will get them. We could also play on the Sky Sports NFL Fantasy League which seems a lot easier.
As reigning Betfair North American forum Fantasy NFL champion (despite a considerable lack of knowledge of the sport) I will have a go if there is enough support.
The draft is good fun, but unless everyone turns up on the night it can get rather long winded.

Am away till the weekend Johnny but will have a butchers when I get back. The Sky one looks pretty simple, not sure I have the degree in coaching you need for the NFL.com one ;-)

Good stuff lads.
It might be a whole lot easier if we join another league altogether.
I like the idea of 3 conferences etc.
Anyway we have a good bit of time.
See what interest I get. If you know anyone that might be interested feel free to invite them

We have 4 so far lads. I think I might be able to get another 2.
If that doesnt fill then we can make the league a public league with our 6 teams and 6 from the world in general and have our draft as planned - i will put the date of the draft more than likely to as close to the season as possible

We have 6 maybe 7 now
I entered another league as an experiment and did the draft - it was fairly straightforward

Looks like its full Johnny ... not sure where the extra six came from! Will be interesting to see the rosters after tomorrows draft.
