Gonna be real hard for me to make this draft unfortunately, heading to the Ireland game at 7.45. Hopefully i'll get someone to draft for me, otherwise it'll be the dreaded autopick

You can choose "pre-draft rankings" before the draft. It is not perfect, but at least you can narrow down who you might like to take. you can also make a list of players that you definitely don´t want, and autopick will ignore them.

I have Sanders if anyone is interested in him. Probably going to be my 2nd keeper.

Can we trade picks?

Trading picks is tricky, as we don't know draft order until 30 mins before the draft starts. You could be trading 1st pick, or 16th. Order is randomised.

What are you looking for?

Draft order should be based on last seasons record no?

Sorry to butt in but I have a query about the pre-draft rankings. If you have this populated with your wish list of players, can you still take part in the live draft? Or will it automatically pick based on your pre-draft rankings?

BizzyC

As long as you're logged in, you get to pick.
If you're not there, it will go by your rankings.

Did we not struggle with this last year or was that in Baeball??
I know in one we had to come back a second night.

I just took over GM a couple of weeks ago, and so don't remember this, or wasn't informed about it.

Also, there are a couple of new people this year, where will they fit in? If anyone has last year's standings handy I might be able to arrange this now, but it may have to just be a random order at this stage.

Masked Man

New people are taking over existing teams. It's just whatever record that team had last year.

Edit: last year's standing are in the history section. Draft order should not be randomised IMO.

fisgon

Ok done. Draft is reverse order of standings from last year.

New owners' positions have been randomised within the remaining positions. I have no idea who took over from who, as much of this happened before I took up GM. It shouldn't matter anyway, as new players haven't yet "earned" a draft position and so it should be random for them.

Dang, I was going to inherit the 2nd pick....oh well I'm keeping 4 players anyway so it'll be a while before my first pick as it is.

Spongey1975

This may help with the new owners and where they should be

Pick 2 Believe in Eli replaced by The Fear Boners
Pick 3 Project Acturus replaced by Cookies Cowboys
Pick 5 SL Lions replaced by Limpars Legends
Pick 11 Fred West Landscaping replaced by Caught Red Hernandez
Pick 14 Dunluce Demons replaced by Vinegar Strokes
Pick 15 Henry le Cheat replaced by P-Town Pier Sixes

Don't think I would chance taking Doug Martin as my 2nd keeper.

Thanks to Spongey for info on new players. Can't check it but I assume he knows what he is talking about.... Draft order here...

Did people put their keepers as keeper no. 3 and no. 4 and then get a pick in the first round and second round?

If so, that is bad form imo.

I didn't think that was allowed.

I don't know if it happened, for definite, but if it did then that is underhanded.

Edit - Yep that definitely happened. Don't know who all did it but just see that Eagle Eye Patriots took AJ Green in the first round despite having a keeper in the second. :mad::mad:

I did it too, got Edelman. Nothing underhand about my intentions, just the way I selected/deselcted my keepers over the past few weeks.

Right but come on...if I had of known I could have put my two keepers to the 3rd and 4th rounds and I would have had picks way higher than I did. Ridiculous tbh. :mad:

Edit - Pretty sure that the majority of people did the same as me. Otherwise people would probably not have kept a 4th keeper and had a pick in the first round. I would have had AJ Green instead of Chris Ivory.

fisgon

Don't think it is underhanded, if I had known that it was possible I would have done the same. If it's possible, then it is not illegal, as far as the league goes. A loophole, but some people took advantage.

Limpar

I thought it was a bit ridiculous as well to be honest.
New to the league so it's tough enough to inherit a team and figure out how the keepers etc work, without losing out further due to quirks of the system!

It's clearly cheating it's been said again and again on here that you lose your first rounder for your first keeper your second for your second and so on. You broke the rules and you knew you where breaking the rules so less of the loophole nonsense

Edit: sorry just realised you didn't do it yourself

Typical it is a Patriots fan though isn't it. :rolleyes:

Taking advantage of a loophole that other people don't know about...I think that is pretty underhanded?

JaMarcusHustle

It was in the rules for last year alright: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=91913589&postcount=333

Round 1 of the draft will only involve people who have not set any Keepers.
Round 2 will involve people who have set 1 or less Keepers.
Round 3 will involve people have set 2 or less Keepers.
Round 4 will involve people who have set 3 or less Keepers.
Round 5 onwards will involve everyone.

Not me, I kept 2 and had them in slots 1 & 2. Like others I didn't realise there was a loophole but I would have thought all slots were equal.

Unfortunately I had to miss the draft due to a family emergency so the team that was auto drafted for me (I have 2 kickers) will take some work to be competitive
