Keen to play again.

When are we planning to draft? At the moment I have Supercoach (Australian Rules fantasy) stress in my life.

I'm in an 'expert' mock draft at the moment with some guys from the site I write for as well as a Chris Towers from CBS, Kyle McKeown from RotoWire, Ryan Knauss from Rotoworld and a few other dudes. Going bloody slow...Some SERIOUS surprises!

But MAN is it good to draft again, can't wait for the new season! I'm writing up a storm already

I'd like to join this league. Assuming I'll have to start at the bottom and work my way up.

Yes, however, we can make a priority list. I think we will definitely have enough for 3 14 team leagues, and I wouldn't be too surprised if we had a 4th league, because we have quite a few new posters.

I will start a list in the first post of who has checked in or wants to join a league.

I'll be in again. I tied for 2nd in my inaugural season in the China league so I assume I move up a level this year.

Since 3 usually go up, that could be interesting haha.

Well if there were 12 in the D league and we are expanding to 14, then 5 can move up.

I'm in again, no ties this year :-x

I vote to keep the Premier League at 14, I thought the size was just about right for a roto league.

Also like the idea of the Draft Order sim even though Kerrsed will still probably get a top 3 pick. 8-)

At least there are more like 7 or 8 premier players now if you think about it. You can definitely add Harden, Curry and Westbrook to the top tier.

Good point, but I'm joking of course. I think I proved it to myself last year that it doesn't matter where you pick. I think I picked 9th overall (probably the worst spot in a 14 team draft) and ending up being like 12 assists short of winning the whole thing. :-?

I will also play again. China league was my 1st attempt ever at Fantasy, and I ended up in the middle, so willing to see how I do after actually understanding the rules and stuff..
