Welcome to the official thread for the Shirtless League, the greatest fantasy league ever. To nut clutter the regular NFL thread with our personal FF talk, we have this place. We can do our draft here as well.

Draft order :

Happy drafting!

[Wrayfield]

Can we trade picks?

[Dutch Patriot]

Can we trade picks?

Just trade places or numerous picks for 1 pick ? Trading places is possible but the other thing is not.

[Wrayfield]

I know you have to trade the exact amount of players/picks on both sides on nfl.com, so pick/pick trade, that's what I meant.

[Frenchie]

Leeeeeeeeeeeeet's goooooooooooooooo!! All the stuff blessed by Her Grace Emma.

[BlackGhost]

That gronk picture aghhhh, no alison brie pictures? What a shame

[Frenchie]

I think Pats fan are majority in this League, no?

Can we do segregation?

[Fox318]

How is you people gonna draft here?

[Dutch Patriot]

How is you people gonna draft here?

I think Larry suggested to do it just like the Nfl Draft Draft we did here.

We can still switch to one of those regular online drafts if people prefer that, but we would just need to set a date/time.

[ActStriker]

Josh Freeman's Taco Haven is open for business.

[Dutch Patriot]

I know you have to trade the exact amount of players/picks on both sides on nfl.com, so pick/pick trade, that's what I meant.

I just figured out how to do trades, so go at it.

I suggest to start drafting either tonight or tomorrow since it might take a while.

[Godslay]

Wow, first pick? In all the fantasy drafts I've been in I've never had the first selection. I'm fucked :jnc.

[ActStriker]

So what are the draft rules? Time limit, missed pick, etc

Snake?

[Milchjon]

So, uh, I feel like Blaine Gabbert out there. What the fuck am I supposed to be doing?

-How do I draft? Don't laugh
-It seems like RB is the most valuable position, do I always go RB first?
-How many players do I draft per position? It seems there are two RB slots on my team, so do I only draft two, or do I draft more to be able to start different ones?
-What does R/W/T stand for (positions)?
-Anything to look for in a player apart from TDs and yards? (offense)

I'm the Matt Millen of FF.

Also, this seems like a lot of work for a game.

[Dutch Patriot]

So what are the draft rules? Time limit, missed pick, etc Snake?

Larry suggested a 6 hour limit at first, that seems doable, but also a little long maybe, since we have to make 210 picks.

When you miss a pick, we will make a pick for you, we'll pick the player that is ranked the highest on the NFL top 200 ranking. Or if you think you won't be in time to make it, PM me a list of players to pick from in the order you want them. It might be smart to create a list anyway.

It's gonna be a regular snake, so Godslay picks first in the first round, so he picks last in the second round.

Yeah, I was quite confused by the number of players I'd to pick per position too.

- We draft just like how we drafted for the NFL draft here on GAF. You post the player you want when it's your turn to pick.
- http://fantasy.nfl.com/league/967761/settings here you can see what gives you how many points.
- You're roster consists of 1 QB, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 TE, 1 Kicker, 1 Defense and 1 'flex' player that could either be a RB/WR/TE (Those are the R/W/T). Besides that you pick 6 players for your bench, that could be the more risky picks or backups for when your starters have their bye week.
- See the points thing

Ah, I thought there'd be some kind of functionality on nfl.com.

Thanks.

I take it we will have a nightly cut off time?

I'm ready as soon as everyone else is. I don't want to rush and put someone on the clock who is still getting a feel for things like Milchjon.

Oh, don't worry, I'd fuck it up anyway ;-)
I'm just trying to keep the assumption that no one knows how a player will perform anyway and I could be just as successful with random picks.

Yep.

The first and only time I did a fantasy draft, I just loosely followed the NFL.com fantasy top 200 and mixed it with players I liked! Yay Randy Moss! Finished 3rd in that league, so it worked pretty well.

Ah, I thought there'd be some kind of functionality on nfl.com. Thanks.

You have that when you do an online draft, which is pretty cool. But it's a 2 hour investment and all 14 dudes need to be available.

[Kyon]

Ok so I see SHIRTLESS but no pics?????? Mess

[Godslay]

Well I'm going to be gone for the afternoon, and most likely part of the night. So since I have the first pick, I figured I would throw it out there. I'm assuming Dutch can start the clock whenever he wants, I just didn't want to hold up the whole process if I wasn't around later.

With the first pick in the 2012 NFLGAF Shirtless FF League, Jerry's Glory Holes select:

Aaron Rodgers



Welcome to the team, time to get the Discount Double Check rolling...

[BaltimoreLarry]

Set a time limit, as well as a cutoff time at night. I wouldn't pick for people from a list if they miss their time, I'd just skip them and let them pick whenever, like the real nfl. Also, if you're new, try a mock draft.

Www.fantasyfootballcalculator.com is good, has 14 team mocks, and requires no account.

[BlackGhost]

Someone should list what position we're starting (like flex spots etc) and how many bench players were gonna draft for reference

Time limit, I dunno. Might as well do an online draft then. More entertaining anyway.

[Wrayfield]

Ah Slay, did you have to draft Rodgers? I mean, now I have to draft Foster and I have him in a keeper league out there so if he goes down, I'm fucked in both leagues :)

[Dutch Patriot]

You can draft Tebow

[Wrayfield]

You can draft Tebow

I'll leave him to you.

[ActStriker]

Tebow would probably get more points than Sanchez

[BlackGhost]

^^^^This is the truth smh lol

[Milchjon]

Don't worry, I got you covered:

[Wrayfield]

Edit: Lol, that was meant for the regular thread...

I am now entertaining trade offers for the 2nd overall pick :)

[BlackGhost]

Lessgo

[Dutch Patriot]

I say we just start now, with Godslay already making his pick.

We stop at the clock at 21:00 EST/3 am Urope time and start it back up 7 am eastern/1 pm Urope time. With people being allowed to make picks if they want to during the off time, but nobody will lose his spot.

If you are late during regular times without a good reason, you will lose your pick to the person who picks after you.

I say we just go with 6 hours per pick and see how it goes from there.

Wrayfield is on the clock

[ActStriker]

should probably keep an updated draft list somewhere so no one picks the same guy twice accidentally

[Dutch Patriot]

I will update them as fast as possible as the picks are made.

NM.

How will snes pick?

[Dutch Patriot]

How will snes pick?

Via the IRC I guess, same goes for Sanjuro. I'm pretty sure though that I know who he will pick in the first round though.

[Wrayfield]

Shit, I was out in the sun today all day.

I obviously pick Arian Fucking Beast Foster -- go ahead and tear your ACL now, Arian...

[Milchjon]

Some guy living in Germany going with the Arian. Figures.

[Wrayfield]

Hehe, how long have you been preparing for this one?

[Dutch Patriot]

That disgusting asshole of a SnesFreak picked Tom Brady with the third overall pick.

Next one up is 'Dark Lord Brady', I have no clue who that is.

[Milchjon]

Hehe, how long have you been preparing for this one?

About 80 years Sorry, I'll stop now.

That disgusting asshole of a SnesFreak picked Tom Brady with the third overall pick. Next one up is 'Dark Lord Brady', I have no clue who that is.

Ban deserved.

I think I will get the Pats D. Wilfork is overdue for tht pick 6.

[BlackGhost]

Some guy living in Germany going with the Arian. Figures.

Racist!

[Wrayfield]

Hahaha, 2 QBs with in the first 3 picks. We have a great league here :). I think snes just drafted Brady to troll the 10 Pats fans in our league.

[Milchjon]

Wouldn't it make sense to get Brees? With their D being even worse than before I don't see how they're not going all out every game.

[Wrayfield]

Nah, Brees will be good, but I expect his receivers and so on to be not exactly on the same page in the first 4-8 weeks so perhaps more INTs?

But it's so much guessing here. I mean, I laughed at a friend trading for Fatty Matty from Detroit, he wound up winning the league behind that bastard.
