    You could always risk it by the auto pick. Some of the people playing dont really know the nfl lol.

    If you can explain to me how the draft works I might be interested in joining. I am a relative newbie to Fantasy Football, last year was the first year I played it and the NFLUK site's game doesn't involve drafting. So I haven't got a scoobie how it works.

    Marky, essentially it is just like the NFL Draft. All the players go into a pool, and each team gets a certain length of time to pick a player. For example, Hoopbhoy goes first, and drafts Brady for his team. I go next and draft Vick, etc etc.
    Then, players can be traded between teams or swapped for a player off the free agency. Theres a few more details I'm hazy on, but thats the basics.

    23 I'm counting. Theres 10 defense slots on my roster here, although last year you chose a teams defense rather than individual players.

    Yea I picked to do individual defensive players because I think its a better challenge. also you could almost a 4-3 or a 3-4 Defense haha. Having the defensive players makes the game unique and I always play that way.
