this time 7 years ago:

Eli Manning = reigning superbowl MVP
Trent Richardson was drafted 9th overall in an average yahoo draft, Percy Harvin 22nd overall
Barack Obama was coming to the end of his his first term as president
The full tilt poker scandal kicked off less than a year ago
bob di matteo had just taken down the champions league with chelsea

most frighteningly,

man utd were about to embark on a premier league title winning season

Anyway that's enough ancient history, it is time to continue the most proud tradition of the very expert pro league.

rules are same as ever. auction league, non-ppr, 2 WR r RB 1 flex 1 D/ST 1 QB 1 TE and a bunch of bench losers

payout structure is same as ever

refer to a previous thread or ask itt if you need clarification on the rules

draft date is Sunday 1 September at 6pm england time

the following are in and have escrowed

SK

not sure if baz is in again, but since he's been in every year iirc he will obv get first refusal on a seat

EGGBALL

In lettuce go. Year 7 will be my lucky year

cant remember who won last year, almost certainly some complete idiot though

in obv

Yeah complete idiot won eggball and CL, i'll leave my neurons at the door this time around.

In for my annual donation

guess the derper league has been retired, making me the permanent champion

at the ready to take a spot, should 1 of the previous managers opt out this year

baz & chop have escrowed

PM sent regarding the final two places

schlitz has taken a place and escrowed, 1 place still to escrow. SK has been PMd

your commissioner has generously increased the auction budget from the usual $200 to $202 in order to ensure that we all get better players this year

you're welcome

ok. team created and called Reb Beach. Bebeto avatard. both subject to change as fortunes dictate.

I'll join if there is room please?

looks like we're full. if that changes i will let you know

if say, I exhaust all my 202$ during the auction without fully stocking my roster, will there be time to acquire players via waivers prior to week 1?

this is my 1st auction-style draft

yahoo wont let you exhaust yourself

if you have $30 remaining and 5 spots still to fill, they most you will be able to bid on the next player is $26. this will mean you have $4 left and 4 spots to fill, and your maximum bid thereafter will be $1

in addition you can make waiver maneuverings prior to week one

nice ok thx

if I have draft dollars remaining after the draft, do those dollars then supplement my waiver monies? lol

they do not

$202? I predict a $4 kicker

Can't remember entry £ sent £25 sorry for late payment

Let me know if you idiots need another

lol

With Sky shifting the Sunday games back half an hour, can we shift the draft back to 7pm so we don't need to multitask nominating kickers and checking for late lolarse or lads it's Tottenham?

How many runners do we have? Deffo need 8bus in this

I also second this
