Interested in playing. This is my first time playing so if you still need to fill spots i would be keen to give it a go. I am also Aussie so would appreciate a reasonable draft time
Also, are we sticking on Yahoo? No issues with staying there for consistency, but Sleeper has a real nice interface and worked well in the league I was in last season (I think andre was in the same one?)

Yeah Sleeper is nice but i don't mind sticking with Yahoo, there's historical derper stats and trophies etc
Maybe we can make the 20$ derper league a 14 teams superflex auction or something wild to spice it up
- Expressions of interest to remain open for a couple of weeks to see if we can get up to a number of around 24.
- Set a draft day for Sunday 29th August. Given we've got a mix of Americans, Europeans, and at least one Aussie, it's going to be very difficult to find a time that suits everyone. We've typically done after the late PL game (i.e. 6.30pm UK time). Happy to have suggestions, but ultimately given that not every date/time suits everyone, I'll have to make an executive decision.
- I'll send PMs/post in here asking for money around 7-10 days before the draft day.
thanks so much for including me guys! I hope to get to know you guys and have some fun. also i am down for the $20 but if it has to bee 50 so be it
as for draft time. it's ok. I have drafted at 4am before. so, don't feel too bad for me. it just comes with being an Aussie on the west coast.
also, i have meme videos for you. ( NSFW due to swearing. )

The ‘best’ relative timezone is the two hour slot below
4-6pm east coast US
1-3pm west coast
9-11pm UK/European time
6-8 am Sydney/Aus east coast
I get that this might not be perfect for everyone but certainty from an Aus perspective, it’s the least compromised that also fits in with US and UK awake hours
I won’t play if I can’t draft - while I do trust auto draft from a quality POV, it’s miserable going through a season with players you didn’t pick yourself and the planning and player picking is the fun part

second this. you will never get a good time for me being on the west coast of aus. i am excatly 12 hours in front of new york time
I think 10-12 is generally a good number for leagues. Given a number of people said they'd be up for two leagues, here's what I suggest:
$50 Auction (10 runners)
Me
Deuce
Andre
Poseidon
Luke
SixFour
L.F.C
Cruizn
Yippie
Clipperton
$20 Draft (12 runners)
Deuce
Wrath
J.E.C
Andre
Poseidon
Luke
Sixfour
Schlitz
Cruizn
Yippie
Lucky Luke
Skara
I've made these leagues on the basis of what people posted above, if I've misunderstood anyone's intention then do let me know. Given the chatter above, I suggest we aim for Sunday 29th at 9pm UK time for the $20 draft and have the $50 auction immediately afterwards.
What does everyone think? If people are happy then we still have space for 2 more runners in the $50
