Think my goal for the season is more Everton like - a top half finish, maybe pushing for the playoffs with a bit of luck.

I think you need to take a closer look at Everton's season again...

Yeah was pretty terrible.  Haven't seen that much red since I last reviewed the 13-14 Norwich season.

Subject : Keepers/Rookie Additions Very Important

Morning All,

I Have been working on preparation for the league rollover, and now we are approaching the time where you have to prepare for your 2015 roster. Each team will have to drop between 2 & 6 players from their squads to accommodate their rookies:

Team (To Drop)

Belgian Waffles (6)

Midas Whale (5)

Fairfield Fairies (4)

Naenae Tegal (2)

Swarlos Rodriguez (4)

Rammtallica Billikids (5)

Mos Eisley Troopers (5)

Nialls Paul (3)

Pacific Island Usos (2)

London Hammers (3)



Nialls Paul & London Hammers have IR eligible players, but if they drop Paul Richardson or Jonathan Dwyer they have to then drop 4 players each.



The easiest way for this to progress is for each of you to set your Keepers in the league, can do this from your team page, making sure that you are 'dropping' the number of players above (Not ticked players get dropped). And if you wish to drop a rookie that you have drafted (List Here: http://yellowfever.co.nz/posts/1054963) then email me and I will record that in my details



If you can't set your keepers or have an issue then email me ([email protected]) and I will sort it out as well. If you want me to send you a list of all your players then I can do that as well.



Cheers all



Jono


PS. I will make sure I send my 'dropped' players list before the deadline of June 1st as well. (I will send you all a warning when there is one week left.

Schedule

Hey All, the schedule is below, a few changes as I swapped Week 5 & 12, Week 6 & 13, and Week 7 & 11 to make more division match-ups in last 3 weeks. If you could check this against the actual schedule on ESPN and check I have done it right that'd be great.

After a quick bit of analysis again I have my first 2015 Power Rankings (This is completely based on my thoughts for the 2015 season, and has no bearing on the future) => as it is my thoughts there is ofcourse a bias towards my team.

  1. Rammtallica Billikids
  2. Belgian Waffles
  3. Nialls Paul
  4. Swarlos Rodriguez
  5. NaenaeTegal
  6. Pacfic Island Usos
  7. Fairfield Fairies
  8. London Hammers
  9. Mos Eisley Troopers
  10. Midas Whale (Sorry Yakcall, think your WRs are a big letdown ;P)

Of course I don't think any of the teams are actually out of contention as evidenced by putting the 2014 winner in 9th place. I used a combo of my own views, ESPN rnkings, general 2015 ADPs from MFL 10, and a slight adjustment to get to these rankings. (Will have anotgher look after the draft is completed at the weekend)

I have crunched the numbers and I calculate that I will win the league when I beat Pacific Island Usos in week 11.

It's not your #1s => Rodgers, Lynch, Nelson & Gronk are excellent, but behind that your other starters at WR/RB are Reggie Bush, Brandon LaFell, Perriman & Colston, that doesn't exactly inspire me to rate your team highly (Of course in 2 months this could all change haha)

Well I do now that you have changed everything around.

My boffins have been working on it, and confirmed that it will not be possible to win it in week 7. It will now be clinched when I beat Swarlos Rodriguez in week 11.  Open top bus has been booked and paid for.

In case anyone was wondering, the Waivers will clear overnight tonight (Sometime between 7 & 10pm - It isn't always the same, they are supposed to lock at 7:30, and then process, but the ESPN site works through them several leagues at a time to prevent the site crashing from overload of their servers)

It's nuts, 4 players suspended for PEDs or Substance Abuse today, and the main portion of testing will start shortly :P

Gates claims he has been taking this supplement for recovery regularly without knowing what was in it...retard.

right, I am looking to make some trades, in the (probably pointless) attempt to improve my RB quality. The following players can be made available for decent RBs:

* Carson "Arnold" Palmer

* Larry "David" Fitzgerald

* Michael Crabtree (doesn't deserve a nickname)

* Dwayne "Riddick" Bowe

* "Ravon" Tavon Austin

* "Hairy" Harry Douglas

* Dan "Karen" Carpenter

I am looking at something like DeMarco Murray and Le'Veon Bell for Karen Carpenter.

Make me some offers.

I'm doing something possibly that could back fire on me, but I really need some decent WR, so with that in mind I am offering up Drew Brees. Make me an offer but it will need to be realistic.

does anyone see any value in Reggie Bush after a poor season last time around? I can make him available for a decent WR option if anyone has a particular interest in him. 

Also willing to put up one of my back up TE's - Heath Miller or Larry Donnell

I would suggest people go in and update their trade blocks, at least with the "Unavailable Players" list as this can make trade negotiations easier as we can see who you wouldn't want to give up. (Or it would take a LOT to get).

big trade between myself and Rammtallica to open up the new season. Stoked with it personally.

Yep, hopefully it'll be a trade that benefits us both.  Hopkins was pretty awesome last year, but I needed to do something about my RB depth.
