Just a few tips for those who are new to the game.
The biggest thing is to know is the bye weeks. This is huge because in the week that a player is off you want to have a reserve drafted to replace him. So if you take 3 running backs then they should all have different bye weeks. You will more than likely draft a reserve QB and of course he will have to have a different bye week to your first choice. Its a huge part of the game and many people make the mistake of not concentrating on bye weeks and end up in trouble when the bye weeks start. This information is available for every player on the site when you are drafting. Injured players who are ranked is another thing to watch out for. If a guy is only out for 1 or 2 weeks then it might be worth drafting him but any player on IR is out for the season. This site is always up to date on injuries. http://espn.go.com/nfl/injuries There are cheat sheets available online, all you have to do is google nfl fantasy cheat sheets but the rankings on the NFL site are good enough for this draft because its not going to be very deep with only 10 players in it. So all you do is make sure you pick in the right order to maximise your starting lineup and then pick your backups after that. Its handy enough, you look at who the next player up in their rankings is, you check to see if he fits your team at the present time and if he does just check the injury list and if he is not injured then pick him. Anyways hope that helps people a bit but nothing like a practice draft to really understand it.

One piece of advice i would appreciate eagle, would u think it unwise or would u be indifferent into picking 2 wide receivers for the same team??

Reasons. They have the same bye week is the most important one. If they come up against a tough pass defense then you are going to have a very bad week. And really you are looking for as many no.1s as you can get. A no.1 WR on a bad team is often much better than a no.2 on a really good team.

Ok folks I'm provisionally setting the draft for Tuesday 7th September at 10 pm.
If anybody has a problem with that date and time you need to post here before then. If you don't have a problem with it then just thumbs up the post. We only have up to Wednesday night to do the draft. I'm leaving it as late as possible. Anyways thumbs up if you are happy with the date and time, post if you are not and suggest an alternate date and time.

If everybody else is happy with Tuesday then we will stick with that date. I'll help Enzo to prepare for the draft if thats the case.
