Hmm, maybe a doodle poll will be a better option. Leave it with me

I should be able to do any of those days.

The Big Gronkowski added

So just waiting on a PM from:

Ramraid / keano_afc

If anyone here knows him irl on the off chance and you can shoot him a text or remind him by any other means that would be appreciated!

LuckyLloyd

Just to update, I have everyone’s email. So I’ll work on getting the fixtures sorted and setting a draft order

I can't vote on the poll but I'm easy with any date or time. When are we likely to confirm though?

keano_afc

Regarding the draft, my other league is drafting on the evening of the 4th of September, so thats the only time I wont be available.

LuckyLloyd

Hey guys, let's see if this works for the draft:

I have set it to Sep 2nd @ 8pm

Can anyone who cannot do that date post here please?

Thank you. So:

1) I have implemented the fixture spreadsheet from Adrian
2) We now have our draft order

The first ordering was to choose which of the 13 weeks of fixtures we would use to decide draft order. Week 2 came top of the list. Fixtures for that week were laid out as follows:

1 Cookie's Cowboys vs 2 LuckyLloyd
3 The Dappernauts vs 4 Gordon's Chargers
5 Tralee Tigers vs 6 The Wildcats
7 The Kay Adams Fan Club vs 8 BreesIt
9 Chicken Dinner vs 10 Glenbush Heifers
11 Sherpalover vs 12 Make Her Wentz
13 White Star Rovers vs 14 Ramraid
15 Chestylerue vs 16 The Big Gronkowski

Just checking on two things, are we doing a defensive player this year or is it back to a flex wr/rb/té this year, and is it a snake draft so wildcats would pick at the top of the second,

Thanks for setting it up luckyloyd

keano_afc

One more question, I see NFL.com have changed to PPR as standard scoring. Is the league going PPR?

- The Defensive Player should never have formed part of the settings, that was an error for this league last year. All leagues within the boards ladder should have the same settings including the flex position
- The draft is snake, so the holder of the last pick in round one will have the first pick in round two and so on. The Wildcats will have picks 16, 17, 48, 49, etc

No worries!

No. Scoring settings are the same as previous years. Changing to PPR would require a boards ladder level change and there has been no rule changes this offseason.


If people have more questions, fire away!

LuckyLloyd

Thanks to those who attended, good draft and plenty of chat, etc. Enjoyed it! Best of luck to everyone for the coming season

Something came up late so couldn't make the draft unfortunately. Put a bit of work into the auto draft beforehand and it actually turned out alright, main team is decent but bench is a bit ropey. Open to any trades

johnmcdnl

Never tried a strategy like this before but leaving QBs until the very end, 3rd and 2nd last rounds actually might not have killed my teams.
I'm sure there's fantasy gods out there somehwere who'll shoot me for drafting a Kicker and Def before my starting QB :pac:

Matthew Stafford, Nick Foles
Devonta Freeman, James White, Ronald Jones, Jordan Howard, Kareem Hunt
Allen Robinson, Tyreek Hill, Larry Fitzgerald, DeSean Jackson, Marqise Lee
Austin Hooper
Matt Prater
Philadelphia Eagles

baby and crumble

Coming back from EP yesterday and completely forgot about the draft.

OMG autodraft what the hell?

2 QB's
No backup RBs
2 DEF.
4 (FOUR!!!!!!!) TE.

WHAT?

LuckyLloyd

Yeah it’s a bad year to autodraft unfortunately.

johnmcdnl

One lad in my rwgialr ten man league ended up with 10 WRs, with no Kicker or Def

I'm not sure whoever took over the maintenance of auto draft this year actually ran a single test draft.

tripperman

I ended up working late luckily I had set some of my draft board up, did look in during my break and auto was doing well, but then it got two ir players for me at wr and rb one each, but happy enough still

I would like to apologise profusely to the owner of BreesIt who I beat by 0.02 of a point this week.

Ouch! I was beating a guy in another league by 85 points(100-15) after the Sunday afternoon games with 4 more to play and still managed to lose as well. Anything is possible!:D

Yeah, that was me No hard feelings, at least it wasn't the championship game!

Shuukaido

I just noticed, but there must have been a correction on GW1 and it seems I won that game after all

Frisbee

Ha, so it does. Box Score shows you won but Final Score shows I won. Looks like Carson was deducted .10 for something.
