I'm in... my screen name is MashaDanki. I'll take the Saints, if no one has claimed them yet...

I'm cool with whatever... If we dont do a fantasy draft I guess I'll take the steelers. If we do, I'll take anyone but dallas, new york (giants or jets) eagles, denver, tampa, or ne.

If you can do a fantasy draft I'm definitely down with that. Does anyone know if that's going to be possible?

Just found my answer, looks like the answer is "sort of"

[QUOTE]IGN: Can we start our online league with a fantasy draft?

Ferwerda and Castorani: Yes, we created something this year called a profile draft. Essentially, on your machine, you'll pre-rank the entire list of NFL players and what round you'd like to draft them in. This is very similar to a fantasy football draft pre-rank system. Once your profile is set, the league will automatically run the draft and assign your players based on your preferences.

This is our first iteration of a draft, and we'll be looking to expand to a real-time experience in the future. However, this year, we decided it would be best to focus on the base experience and expand as we interact with our community and build features that everyone wants.[/QUOTE]

Awesome. Let's set a tinmetable though... It always takes me a little while to set up my fantasy lists.

I figure we'll give everyone a week to buy the game and get signed up for the league. Then we'll give 3-5 days to set the draft profile, and we'll get started. Anyone know when the first roster updates are? Should we wait for that too?

if we're going to do a fantasy draft, that kind of negates the need for roster updates, doesn't it? Unless we're worried about new players being added...

Ok I have it set up, it's called The Warpath and the abbreviation is twp. Not sure if or how I can invite people in, maybe you just have to search for it and join up?
