Browns might be getting new owners.

Lerner in talks with Jimmy Haslam about selling.

 

The Mighty Browns are finally building something really good. GM Tom Heckert has done a fantastic job rebuilding through the draft over the last 3 years, could well do without the uncertainty.

Hard division to make a mark in though.I really like the look of the Bengals this year.

Gresham,Green,Dalton,Green-Ellis,Sanu,Orson Charles.

 

Vontaze Burfict will be a great addition or a bust.

[Iantn]

Green-Ellis is average, for me. Dalton is decent but made to look better last year by his defensive and the talent of AJ Green.

 

I can't think of a solid #2 receiver that'll help out Green this year. Progressing nicely enough but not yet to win the divisional title. Unless Steelers are worse than I think in their slight redevelopment and injuries to Ravens are worse than reported.

[Lee909]

I don't think they will win the division but I think they are building a nice team.

You know what you get from Ellis,he isn't elite but he doesn't fumble and gets a decent amount of TD.Should have made a move for Bush before Chicago did.

The two TE look good.

Sanu should be the number 2 WR.

[Iantn]

I just think Green-Ellis has been a product of what has gone on in New England as opposed to having any great outstanding talent.

Makes mental note that Ian won't be picking BGE in fantasy,

 

 

You could well be right.

Haha, you can have that one for free, mate.

 

Speaking of the draft, it is currently listed as offline. Can we get this sorted soon so people can have an idea when it is going to be? Nice one.

[Lee909]

I think the draft will be either the weekend of the 25th aug or the 1st sep.

I've decided to resign as commissioner, and let Kinky run it for the season.

 

As I said before, I'm not suited to fantasy football, and I really don't spend as much time on here as I used to.

[Lee909]

Are you still playing?

Or have you relised that even drafted only Cowbys would leave you with a player that beats his own mother.

 

Shame to see you go as commish but im sure Kinksy will do good job

Surprised and saddened to learn that. I thought we'd hooked you in for another season. Shame. The Violent Phlegms would like to wish you the best of luck on all your future endeavours.

 

I better get to work then.

I realised that after I suggested only drafting cowboys - Not exactly the best argument in the world!

[KinskiRage]

We'll need a replacement for Neko's team. Jose Jones expressed an interest so he has first refusal - Still interested mate?

 

Looking back on the thread, can I take it everyone who's posted her since last week are deffo playing...

Yeah, I'll have a crack.

[KinskiRage]

Sound. The site wants to add or delete teams in increments of 2 so I'll wait and see if anyone else needs replacing before I free up the slot(s).

[ticklemeclemo]

Im back in

Since the draft is always at some ungodly hour, I dont mind which date its on

[KinskiRage]

Good. So that leaves Odris, Dave, Woo and Brownie.

[RedKnight]

Brownie isn't carrying on this year but I believe his team position has already been allocated to TLW stalwart Chris, by Dave. He, Woo and Odris all return this year too. It's just that they're too good to come on here and say it themselves.

[KinskiRage]

Ah I see. So Brownie's out and he has a ready-made replacement.

 

That's grand. I'll try and open up two slots now so.

 

Cheers.

[Lee909]

16 teams again then?

Better start looking at the lower ranked receivers.

Same scoring as last year or are there any changes?

[KinskiRage]

Right that's handy. 2 slots to be filled by Jose Jones and Chris.

Most of the scoring will probably be the same as it's pretty standard.

 

I've made the Flex Position a RB/WR/TE like you suggested as I don't think anyone would have objections. It gives more flexibility.

 

I haven't looked at the return yards yet, as we'd have to make sure the likes of Marc Mariani isn't scoring more points than a top 10 receiver or something. Have to work out the scoring on that. I think if we do adopt it, it should bear a resemblance to returners value in the real football. So capable of having a big day, but not usually scoring more than top RBs or WRs etc.
