I can see who people are keeping and edit the order they have them in. I.e if someone is slecting one keeper they can't just put it in slot number 4 - I will move it to the first slot.

Not sure about draft order. What was done last year?

I think the winner should be first.

I think the winner should graciously accept last pick, newbies should get first picks )

I don't know what way it went last year. But newbies definitely should just get last pick cos they are newbies ha (nice try though). My keepers are awful, so a newbie could have a huge advantage on me next year if they were to get first pick.

Then don't keep them, as I understand it if you keep no one you get a first round pick whereas I'll be picking in round two as I'm keeping one player.

Yeah I know, I prob won't keep them but my point was that it isn't like you are starting off with a fresh slate. If you were a newb but your team finished second last year, it wouldn't be fair for you to pick 1st.

I presumed you were joking with the newbs pick first.

billr67

No bother I was joking all right, draft order should be like any other league i.e. worst team last year goes first, best team goes last but of course in a keeper league it's complicated by whether you keep anyone or not and therefore you could be the best team from last year but if you keep nobody and everyone else keeps at least one player then you're going first no matter what.

Looking at my squad I'm guessing I was middle of the pack but I'd love someone to post last years standings or this years draft order as it's difficult to mock otherwise.

There you go. As you can see I was far from the best team. Just managed the playoffs well tbh with some "dodgy" trades.

Never done a keeper league so bare with me gents...

I inherited the team that finished 16th, so they're extremely poor to say the least. So if that team has an average player who I might want to keep, do I lose my 1st round selection? And if I wanted to keep 2, i'd lose my 1st and 2nd rounder etc?

Cheers

billr67

Yep that's how I understand it. Anyone know which team was taighbaby's? I've changed the team name but the one I changed it from isn't on the list. Cheers for posting that by the way Raoul

Ah OK, thanks. Definitely nobody on my team worth keeping so. So if you were lets say 5th pick in the 1st round and your only keeper was Todd Gurley, Gurley would just populate into that slot?

Also, if you want to check the previous seasons rosters, results etc... open up the league... Then click League > History > 2015 season... and you'll be able to have a nose

billr67

Yep exactly, that's how it was explained to me. Cheers for the link I'll have a look at that.

billr67

Looks like my team came 6th last year, so if nobody kept any players I'd be picking 11th in the first round, ok time to do some mocks!

Will a mock draft help you much though? Like..you have no idea who is left in the draft in the first 4 rounds.

billr67

I can assign the keepers based on what I can see online, most people have already assigned the ones they are keeping and others I can take a punt based on what's in their squad. Anyway mocks are just for fun they only stand up if you don't get someone who values a kicker over a TE in round 5 and blows all your assumptions away.

GoldFour4

Looks like draft will be Sunday at 9. I'll close off voting at 11 this morning if anyone wants to cast their vote. Only 9 voted so far (10 Inc me)

GoldFour4

Okay draft is set for Sunday (4th) at 9pm. That was the most popular choice so we'll roll with it.

We will do the same as prior year and set the draft order as the reverse of the prior year.

Standings last year here. http://fantasy.nfl.com/league/485946/history/2015/standings

Bill took over the team that came 6th as far as I know. The other two new guys took the two bottom teams from last year so I'll randomly assign their draft order.

gerryfed

The draft is set for 2pm PDT.... I think that's 10pm in Dublin, not 9pm. Correct me if I'm wrong though...

Also, i took over one of those bottom two teams... so i'm a chosing either 15th or 16th, or anywhere between 1 and 16?

Cheers

billr67

10 suits me better actually so if that is the time I'm happy.

gerryfed

9pm got the most votes bro!

billr67

No bother it's just showing as 10 online and in the app.

GoldFour4

Fixed that to 9pm Irish time, mixed up my time zones first time around. Draft order is below...Going to the All Ireland later, if Tipperary win it'll probably be auto draft for me!

Yep keepers appear to be filled in correctly for each team as of this morning so any changes will have been made after that. Very much a mixed bag in terms of taking keepers and taking none at all. I'm taking none myself.

billr67

Just to clarify that means you've a first round pick and I won't pick till round 3 (keeping 2) correct?

Yep!

Masked Man

my draft has completely stopped working. draft button and auto queue stopped working earlier.

Coeus

Oh dear looks like I missed the draft...for some reason I thought the draft was at 10 so I'm only online now...oh well will have to see if the drafting gods were kind to me...

eagle eye

There were major problems with that. As said by another poster already, could not draft anybody and even the autopicks were not taking them from my list.

It worked fine for me for the first couple of rounds but then it stopped working.

Limpar

The draft seemed to get out of sync somehow and was working 2-3 picks ahead of what was displayed in the queue.
It's now completely frozen up with 2 picks left in the final round.

fisgon

Total farce, looks like the draft stopped working for everyone, set us all to autopick around round 10.

I actually worked it out, and started putting guys in my draft queue, which were then drafted automatically. That way I actually got who I wanted, apart from Witten in round 10, but it messed things up big time in general.
