To keep it interesting and competitive, we can go with a Random Pick or Draft Pick. With a random pick, your team will be assigned to you, where with a Draft Pick, players take turns choosing from the Roster. Generally the turns will be based upon your performance in the previous Fantasy League. Also due to the time it would take, it's probably best to go with Random, at least for the initial Fantasy League.

My one issue with doing it this way is if a person gets an absolute donkey of a team (they get a Blaine Gabbert, Trent Richardson and any of the Panther receiving corps) whereas another gets the bees knees (randomly given Tom Brady, Calvin Johnson and Adrian Peterson). If at the very least people get to make a 1st round pick and then get randomly distributed players through the rest of the team selection process.

This way you feel like you have some control and that you made a wise initial choice.

4pm was already havoc for our Australians but was manageable. I don't have as much sympathy for the Europeans starting at 9, 10, or even 11PM as I do for the Aussies having to play at 5:30 AM

You may not be seeing this as an issue, but some of us do have things to do on a Sunday morning and starting at 10 or 11 at night in Europe would really be an issue for some. Given that the matches take up to 1hr 45min (including time between maps), that means in a tournament with 6 teams the finals could finish as late as 3:15 UTC with a 22:00 UTC (17:00 ET) start (this is a worst case scenario with either 2 streams or 1 half of the bracket being unstreamed). And that's just for the UK and Ireland time wise, I know many (if not most) of the communities euro players are in UTC+1.

No ill will to our Aussie or Asian players, but a later start is not ideal from a European perspective. I'd be fine with 1600 ET, but would prefer 1500 ET.
