Each draft had 156 players selected.
In all, there were 179 players selected.
138 of those were selected in all 4 leagues.
There were 20 players who were selected in just one league each.

The list below ranks all 179 players in order of their ADP.

Anthony Davis is the highest ranked player after being picked at #1 in all 4 drafts.
Jordan Hill is the lowest ranked, after being selected with the last pick of the Division 1 draft and not being picked up at all in any of the others.

Tony Snell is the lowest ranked, and Amir Johnson is the highest ranked, of players who were selected in just 2 drafts.
Gerald Henderson is the lowest ranked], and Myles Turner is the highest ranked,of players who were selected in just 3 drafts. Turner was not picked up in Division 1.

The highest ranked, not selected in Division 2, was Jabari Parker.
]The highest ranked, not selected in Division 1, was Myles Turner.
]]The highest ranked, not selected in Premier league, was Amir Johnson




Without looking at standard deviations and such, here's some strange ones Ive seen at a glance:
Carmello Anthony was picked at 25 in Div 1, and 12, 14 & 15 in the others.
Serge Ibaka was picked at 36 in Premier, and just 16, 19 & 20 in the others.

<p class='western' style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]Time constrained this week, so a very short review for you all to muse over.
<p class='western' style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]
<p class='western' style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]King of Karlos Defeated by Billy Bass (114 v 121)
<p class='western' style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]
<p class='western' style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]King of Karlos - Despite strong performances by Brees, Manning, Bell, KoK were not quite good enough to knock over Billy Bass. Williams did a nice job as Shady's replacement in Buffalo, and Tucker proved to be clutch in the Ravens win over Pittsburgh. Little input from the KoK wide receivers and tight end at the heart of this loss - Landry struggling gin a struggling team, Cooks still not living up to potential, and Olsen not Cams favourite target this week.
<p class='western' style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]
<p class='western' style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]Billy Bass - A brilliant team effort from Billy Bass. Rodgers, Palmer, Forsett, Woodhead, Hopkins, Catanzaro and the Packers D/ST all scored a minimum of 13 points! Green was a TD away from another big day in Cincy, whilst Hilton was well targeted by Hasselback in Indy's lucky win over the Jags. Only the Fins Cameron failed to muster much of a contribution, but when the rest of your team is scoring so well, who needs him eh??

<p class='western' style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]Waito's Warriors Defeat Jimbo's Juggernaut (72 v 67)
<p class='western' style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]
<p class='western' style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]Waito's Warriors - The Warriors notched an important win over their NFC rivals on the back of Jimbo not playing a D/ST essentially, but a win's a win, and the win brings the Warriors level with the Juggernaut after the first month. Winston was shaky but still topped double figures, whilst Bennett was massively targeted by Cutler in the Bears win over the Raiders. Hauschka was superb in...

There is now less than 30 days until the season starts. Teams have now assembled for training camp and the preseason games will commence towards the end of this week.





During the next week you should receive an email asking you to join your respective league. Please accept this invitation as soon as possible.

The draft for all leagues will be held on Sunday 25th of October at 10pm (AEDST).





This will give everyone an opportunity to assess the preseason games and take into account which players are injured at the time of the draft.

If you can't make the live draft, you can set up a pre draft list whereby the system will select the next available player on your list when it is your turn.

You can also participate in the mock drafts in the ESPN fantasy basketball site to get a feel as to how the draft works.

In regards to the draft, the following will apply:

There will be 60 seconds between each pick

Leading up to the draft, teams will be able to trade picks. I will set up the draft pick order in the ESPN site this weekend.

For those of you have not played ESPN fantasy basketball, feel free to ask any questions in the comments below and someone will be able to answer your question.

Nat Fyfe should have done enough to hold on to this year's Brownlow medal, after bolting out of the gates before -a form slump and some missed games towards the end of the season. Whilst not a foregone conclusion - the $2 most bookies have on him is about where it sits on my review of the numbers. In simple terms, he is a 50/50 proposition, with any of Hannebery, Priddis, Dangerfield, J.P. Kennedy and S. Mitchell all a chance to upset on the night....

It's only round 2 and already it is a case of who is left standing as injuries and poor fantasy form reek havoc through the league. Check out the review written by Johnson, is your team living up to expectations ?

<p style='text-align: justify;]Canuck Warriors defeated by King of Karlos (50 v 94)
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Canuck Warriors - A wholly disappointing round for the Warriors, with only Teddy Bridgewater coming to the party. Teddy threw for 153 yards, 1 TD and even ran one in himself in the Vikings divisional win over the Lions. But outside of Teddy, it was pretty much a disaster. Allen went from chocolates to boiled lollies (16 yards and a fumble), the Ravens D/ST was obliterated by Oakland, and whilst Bradford (224 yards, 1 TD, 1 fumble) contributed a little, he, and the rest of the Eagles, were just awful for much of their clash against the Cowboys. Ingram (53 yards, 1 TD) struggled against a much-improved Bucs D, but at least got a TD, whilst Stewart (62 yards) and Maclin (57 yards) were so-so in their teams losses. Cook (47 yards) and Jennings (12 yards) did little to inspire much confidence in them being consistent contributors this season. I said last week that they lack depth at RB and consistency at QB, and so it proved to be again this week and something Canuck are either going to have trade to improve or start looking ahead to 2016. Mallet posted some good numbers on the bench, but I am not sure he is the answer at QB for Canuck, and with Freeman the only RB on the bench, who seems second in line to Coleman at the Falcons, things aren't looking promising down Canuck way

There's no better place to discuss finals footy than with like minded people.

Let us know your tips for the games, and who you think will take out the big one on that [span style='text-decoration: line-through;]last Saturday in September first Saturday in October.

All the banter, all the discussion, all the trials, tribulations, pain, suffering, and sheer ecstasy of finals footy. We'd love to hear it all.

<h1>Fyfe named AFL's MVP for second year running</h1>

Nat Fyfe capped off another impressive season by joining a small list of players to have been awarded the AFL's MVP in consecutive years. The elite list, which had only featuredGary Ablett and Michael Voss before Fyfe's achievement, highlights just how much of an impact the Fremantle star has made during his short AFL career. The midfielder collected 1455 votes on his way to collecting the Leigh Matthews Trophy for a second time,usurpingfive-time winner Ablettfor a second successive season and further establishing himself as one of the AFL's most talented young players of a generation.



Having made history as the youngest-ever winner of the award last year, Fyfe was under pressure this season to replicate his 2014 form. Being under the microscope hasn't appeared to have hampered the youngster, and the Dockers star has, if anything, performed even better this year than he did last season, playing a crucial role in Fremantle success in 2015. His stand-out showing against Adelaide in Round 9 proved that Fyfehad again improved this year, racking up 150 fantasy points that will have had any coaches who selected him at the start of the season absolutely delighted.

In what has been a remarkable season for Fyfeboth in terms of form for Fremantle and the fantasy points he has racked up this year, Fyfecould now be set to end the season with another accolade to his name. Currently at evens with bet365 to win the Brownlow Medal this year, 2015 could well end up being a sensational campaign for the 23-year old, even if Fremantle fail to make it into the Grand Final....

We currently have 3-6 spots available with 5-6 emergencies waiting in the wings.

6'10', hawker, and doobs all played last season and are yet to re-commit.

Lets give them all until the end of the Hawthorn Fremantle prelim this weekend. If we don't hear from them by then, then we'll give the emergencies a go.

3 players from last season said they will not go around again this year, so Ive now given their spots to the 3 emergencies in the front of the queue.

Here's how our leagues are looking:

Each division is ranked based on last season's final standings, and then teams promoted and relegates up and down accordingly.
If there are any teams who drop out this year, all teams will move up in the order they are listed here:

Week 1 TS NFL Australia

A short review of the week 1 match-ups.

Yo Yo Marshawn defeated King of Karlos (111 v 96)

<p style='text-align: justify;]Yo Yo Marshawn - Despite the insipid performance by the teams legendary QB (Manning - 175 yards, 1 INT, 0 TDs!), strong performances at RB and TE led Yo Yo Marshawn to a solid first-up win. Forte (141 yards, 1 TD) found plenty of room in the Bears loss to the Packers, and Lynch (100+ all-purpose yards), whilst TD-less, was his usual Beastness against a loaded Rams D. Eifert was the surprising star though, 100+ yards and 2 TDs was huge day for the Bengals TE. The Fin's D was strong against Washington, whilst Jeffery (78 yards) and Matthews (102 yards) were solid, if not so spectacular, contributors, though Matthews drop late will not be looked upon too favourably in Philly I don't imagine. QB issues are probably their main worry at this early stage of the season.
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]King of Karlos - Brees was Brees against Arizona, 355 yards and a TD, but he lacked support, with only Lacy (99 all purpose yards and 1 TD) and exciting Miami WR Landry (53 yards and a return TD) really performing. Getting little out of Olsen (targeted 3 times for 11 yards only) would have been surprising and disappointing, and of course, Bell was sorely missed and KoK will do well to even split whilst Bell remains suspended. Walker (43 yards, 1 TD) was an interesting, but good, selection in the flex spot, whilst youngsters Cooks (49 yards) and Coleman (80 yards) showed enough to suggest they could be strong scores throughout the season. Plenty of improvement in KoK, but in a short season, early losses can be critical.
