Anytime Sundays except April 1 or 8. Otherwise, I'll just set my draft board and auto it.

Ok let's move the week on so we can get into contract renewals etc.
Can I pitch Sunday early evening UK time for the draft??
That will probably work for me.
so can someone switch me to the Saints? their defense stinks but I like their offense
granted I will be sad to let the Falcons go. especially the offensive group of Tyrod-Jordan Howard-Sammy Watkins-Michael Thomas

I think you'll have to resign from the Falcons first. Then we can re-invite you.

Invite sent. We should also remove those who don't want to be in the league anymore.
Its probably worth taking me out. I don't have much time to play and I'm really not enjoying it as much anymore. I might jump back in at some point but I doubt there's any point having me in at the moment.
If we are doing Sunday evening UK time I will probably draft.
Beefy you should probably advance us to first stage of free agency if the draft is going to be Sunday. I would but I don’t trust phone advancing.
Looks like we're on the re-sign players stage. Last chance before free agency
Retirements have happened as well. Eli Manning has retired but Tom Brady is still going
Sunday isn't realistic at this stage.
What's our core group now?
Me
Pabs
Torn
Matthew
GBF
CWE
Fro
Mikey
?
I'll advance us to free agency in the next half an hour
Torn has quit
As if that is going to stick. He loves his team too much.
I'll probably end up missing the draft then since I doubt we'll do one midweek and I'm gone next weekend.
I don't think I ended up getting to play Torn sadly.
With a smaller group it would be a shame if anyone wasn't there for the draft. What if we did it next weekend??
Spend this week in free agency, the draft at some point over Easter and then straight into the new season? I'm really keen next season on 72 hour weeks. Let's try to keep a good pace up.
Easter weekend is the one I'm gone for the Final Four. That's why tomorrow was ideal for me but free agency is more important. I don't mind missing it, I didn't really scout well this year.
Yeah, same here. I guess the real question is who feels like they need/want to be there. I'd love to progress to preseason soon. Feels like we have already lost momentum.
Well I want to take a look at free agency, which I will tomorrow.
My picks aren't high anyways so I doubt they'll make much instant impact and I only think of the season ahead.
Ok 24 hour turnarounds this week then. I'll move us on in about half an hour then.
With trades are we ok to trade with players on the trade block? I'd suggest that Fro be allowed to make a couple of extra trades too as he's new to his team.
i just wanna play the football
I'm happy to rush through to pre-season today if people prefer?
Might as well do a draft today if that's the case.
CWE is the only person I'd be worried about not finding out. He seems to live weird hours. I'm happy to draft this evening.
i will fight everyone
I can draft today
How about 8pm UK time, 12PST/3EST to finish free agency and do the draft?
Did you guys go through daylight savings or not?
Yeah last night
Nope
Alright, here is what we will do. I'll advance us to week three of free agency before I go to work in the morning. We'll do the draft at 9pm UK time tomorrow. Hopefully anyone who can't make that can set up a board between now and then. I did well off of a draft board last season.
No. But I was around in 3 hours.
9pm UK time is 1pm here. I'm definitely not available unless something weird happens. Do we go directly into preseason after the draft?
Excited for the new season. If Aaron Rodgers can stay healthy this year I'm making it out of the first fucking round.
Yeah straight into pre-season
About an hour and twenty until we advance through to the draft. After he draft I'll move us into pre-season. Looking at 24 hour turnaround times for pre-season if possible.
Something weird happened and I'm home now. Did I miss the draft?
Ah shit, yeah by a few minutes. Sorry. You should have texted me.
- although that said we'd done most of it by then. The AI didn't draft well for you by the looks of it.
I've sent you a trade offer. We play pre-season week three so hopefully a couple of days time.
There's someone on the trade block I'm going to pick up tomorrow unless someone trades for him first.
Did you rescind your trade offer to me? I can't see it
Edit nvm I see it
@Beefy counter offer sent
Haha. Ok thanks @Beefy
Fro, mate I'm not trading you my superstar defensive tackle I drafted like an hour ago. I drafted a centre so I'm not desperate.
I want Evan Engram, he's had 203 yards receiving for you over two years so let me know what you want for him
Ok seeing as Mikey has raped Torn's corpse I'm assuming that it's open season on the trade block.
@Beefy I have no attachment to Ingram. Send me a fair trade and I'll accept. If you leave it to me it will never get done.
yea I have no idea what happened at the draft since apparently you were the only person who got to draft
but it's a center and a DT who have the same rating and potential, one is a rookie one is a second year
doesnt seem preposterous
I told everyone when the draft would be and everyone had the chance to set a draft board up as I had to last season. Only Mikey and I were there. I needed to be there to move it in and avoid it taking three hours like last time.
I didn't say it is preposterous, but you signed a centre so I'm not going to give up a starter to get a guy who won't play for you. It's fine, as I said I've got a centre now.
well I'm still open to a trade if you are interested, but your offer of a couple FA level guys with ratings in the 70s was pretty poor
btw is there a way to see who my team drafted
They were both starters in your team from what I could see. In fact Diem is the same rating (79) and age (I think) as the guy you tried to get off of me.
You've five centres on your roster so it's not like you're losing much! I'll take another look tomorrow once I've played my game.
Nice pick up in Richardson btw
A bit poor form for the super bowl champ, who was able to make the draft, to then have first go on the trade block and the free agents.

So I said that without looking at the trade. Now that I've seen it, I'd love for Mikey to come and explain how that is in any shape or form a fair trade.
Same with the trade to the Colts.
I know this comes off as whining, but those are seriously lopsided.
agreed. CPU trades arent even allowed iirc. someone reverse them
I know I have done some but that was allowed by the league because I suck. mikey making CPU trades for players with 90 ratings is ridiculous
btw is it just me or does the layout make it impossible to actually see the full details of a trade in one place?
While you bastards argue over trades, I have renamed Aaron Rodgers to GOLDEN FRIEND and I am going to stream my first preseason game NOW.
Also I am only an 81 now. Was 89 last year and didnt lose anyone. Weird.
Regression probably hit your players hard in key positions. Like i'm sure Rodgers regressed pretty decently.
Golden Friend is so washed
He is a 97. I'll have to check the chart but I think he was 98 last year.
I have a ton of Vets. Definitely an old team.
That was why I didn't trade for Richardson (I'm such a hero).
Fair points.
I'll release all the FA I signed, and also reverse the Williams trade somehow
For the Browns trade, I desperately needed to improve my CB situation, and Anthony Brown - 3rd best CB at Browns - becomes my starting CB. Budda Baker has been a cult hero when Torn and I play, and I only really wanted him for that reason. Would trading another draft pick/player to the Browns be fairer?
Geno Atkins (90) to the Saints for a Round 2 pick
Sheldon Richardson (87) to the Saints for a Round 3 pick
Yeah, my trades were bad but don't call me out when you're doing exactly the same shit, if not worse
The real issue I have is the draft picks. Because realistically we have at most two more seasons after this. So trading away a draft pick doesn't really have the same harm as it would in the real world.
Guilty. But my defense is awful and also once I switched teams I realized the Saints had done zero scouting and I only had 300 scouting points so I was able to scout about 18 players. I still don't know how to look at my draft picks (I don't think it's possible.... there's no draft recap?) but they are surely terrible.
Anyway I would hope you guys will let me make those trades on the basis that I have 0% chance of winning the SB so let me have some fun with these dumb random rosters we're stuck with.
Tbh I was going to suggest, or maybe had suggested, that Fro make a couple of trades as he has changed teams.
I'd say rule of thumb for trades of players on the trade block should be you can trade players OR picks but not both and that only picks for next year be able to be traded.
Can I make some trades later as well? I don't really understand the current rules. Not being cheeky. just let me know.
I say yes
No one understands the current rules.
Look, those who didn't make the draft (even though clearly not one of you made a draft board which would have likely given you some good players) I've no real issue with making a trade or two so long as it isn't taking the piss. How I'd define that or police it I don't know.
There's only a few of us, vs having more than half the 32 teams originally so trading will be practically non-existent if we don't allow some AI trading and I'm sure some of you have a couple of holes in your rosters which need filling.

I'm going to play my first pre-season game after the football in two hours then I'll advance us.
Streaming now
We're onto week four of preseason. Fro let me know if you're around to play our game. I'm going out later so if I don't hear back I'll put me on auto so you can play. If you haven't played by this time tomorrow I'll put you on auto and play it.
Looking t advance to week one tomorrow.
This is the last week to cut players as well so it's worth everyone logging on at some point
Should probably have done that before I left. Oh well. I think I'm going to end up being simmed through the first two weeks of the season. I know we were trying to think of a time Beefy for Week 2, but I'm not back until late Tuesday and Wednesday I can't even guarantee being able to play at any point during the day so no sense in you going back and forth from London.
It's all a build til the playoffs anyways, that's what truly counts.
@Pablo Diablo if you are on auto I will play your ghost shortly.
@Fro It is you and I in week 1. Let's me know what works. I could do 1230pm EST tomorrow, otherwise I am around Wednesday and Thursday a little more.
Payback game and now I have my guys back.
Tomorrow at 12:30 est won't work. I work a standard 9-5 east coast time gig. Wednesday or Thursday night could work.
If you wanna go double or nothing I'm game. My new team is pretty good attribute wise but they're new to me so I might struggle. My big problem is my two top receivers are Edelman and Crowder who are both slot receivers and idk how to use them outside

@Fro
Going to the Lakers game tonight. I can go tomorrow anytime, otherwise if the league is waiting on our game you can play my ghost.
There’s still a good set to go. I was able to get mine in today. Beefy and CWE have as well.
Maybe tomorrow at or after 6 eastern. As of now I think I'm coming home after work but if something comes up you can also play my ghost
@Fro. Tonight?
Let's do it
I'm ready
it's 1am, I'm hitting the sack. I probably can't play tomorrow so you can just play my ghost if you wanna go tonight
Ok thx. Going to play now and injure your bitch QB
I can log in 5
Streaming against fro's ghost now.
where are we at
I've advanced us to week 2.
I've got Beefy, so we have until he gets back when him and I will hopefully get our game in.
Oooh. Hope I have the AI
I'll be streaming my game tonight in about an hour. This particular game is live or die for me. Most of my games are. It's very exciting to never win. Beating the AI would get me very pumped up.
Streaming now
I win biatch
Did you tell Gene Simmons?
Ahaha.
He actually yelled at me. I will tell the story on the next Asylum Radio.
I think I'll play my game this evening (pretty sure I have CPU)
Beefy and I are aiming to play tomorrow evening. So people will have until at least then to play.
