And that's everyone signed up.

So lads, draft is next Monday at 8pm. I'll see ye in the draft client.

D9Male · 01-09-2020 4:19pm

Good stuff, thanks Llloyd.

Going to be under serious pressure to make it. After getting caught up in a work thing I can't get out of. I'll be disgusted if I have to Auto Draft. It'd be a disaster!

If you get half an hour during the day even try and tidy up the NFL preset draft order (just shove the injured/kickers/DST to the back imo), I had to do one auto one last year and at least doing that saved me from being lumped with 2 kickers, 4 QBs and 3 defenses

Arguably the least prepared I’ve been since my first season of fantasy many moons ago! My laptop died during a Draft last week so I’ll just hope that doesn’t happen again...

m4gu1r3 · 07-09-2020 2:47pm

I've had issues with the draft client this year so be prepared with the mobile app or a different browser!

LuckyLloyd · 07-09-2020 6:15pm

Best thing lads is to try and login about 19:40 or so and make sure all is good, etc. You may have to redownload the app on your phones.

hots · 07-09-2020 7:16pm

Just so I'm sure, we are playing full point PPR and keeping a full flex this year (TE included) right?

LuckyLloyd · 07-09-2020 7:34pm

Yes hots:

- PPR
- Flex (rb/wr/te)

Draft lobby is open lads - best of luck.

tripperman · 07-09-2020 7:48pm

I'm just on the way home, should be online shortly after 8, probably be picked first and get a kicker ðŸ€£

LuckyLloyd · 07-09-2020 9:56pm

Well fair play to everyone - good drafting all round.

A yearly reminder of how unenjoyable 16 team drafts are. Really gets pretty ugly as you approach 200 picks! Anyway best of luck to everyone for the season ahead.

D9Male · 07-09-2020 10:05pm

Sorry to miss this lads. Was coaching GAA 7-8, then playing 9-10. I didn't even do too badly, albeit auto draft got me 3 tight ends.....

MAKE HER WENTZ ASSEMBLES A RUSHING ATTACK
Draft Grade|Proj Record|Proj Finish
B|5-8|T8

Make her Wentz finished with a solid, if unspectacular, draft performance, taking the sixth overall draft slot and building a team capable of making the playoffs. They jumped on ball-carriers early, using three of their first four picks to acquire running backs. At another spot in the lineup, Make her Wentz was able to secure the best trio of wide receivers in the league.

So in other words, I'll be coming 16th and relegation

WITH AN ELITE ASSEMBLY OF WIDEOUTS, CROMARTIE KIDS HOPES TO LAND AMONG THE LEAGUE'S ELITE
Draft Grade Proj Record Proj Finish
B 7-6 7

DRAFT SUMMARY
Cromartie Kids finished with a solid, if unspectacular, draft performance, taking the second overall draft slot and putting together a team that may be playoff caliber. They put extra emphasis on wide receivers, using four of their first seven picks to address that position. That early positional investment helped to yield one of the most prolific foursomes of wide receivers in the league.

This is the worst summary ever

:o I have awful receivers and double dipped at RB for my first 2 picks

LuckyLloyd · 08-09-2020 9:40am

Yeah the NFL predictor always a good laugh!!

They’ve substantially rewritten most everything else over the last year or so...I’d say it’s on their list.

WITH SOME SPECULATIVE PICKS, THE BIG GRONKOWSKI HOPES TO OUTSMART THE COMPETITION
Draft Grade Proj Record Proj Finish
D 3-10 T13

DRAFT SUMMARY
Picking third in the draft, The Big Gronkowski built a team that hopes to make some noise. They decided that the time for wide receivers was early, using three of their first four picks on that position. Elsewhere on the roster, The Big Gronkowski was able to land a foursome of running backs with the most room for improvement.

Auto Draft didn't fail to disappoint! I adjusted my pre draft rankings before the draft so I at least picked up a few hopefully half decent guys in the earlt rounds.

I'm predicted to go 0-13 in my home league so this is an improvement somehow!

tripperman · 08-09-2020 10:09am

DESPITE REACHING FOR A FEW EARLY-ROUNDERS, CHECKDOWNHERBERTS SHOULD BE IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP PICTURE
Draft Grade
A
Proj Record
11-2
Proj Finish
4
DRAFT SUMMARY
Picking 10th overall in the draft, CheckdownHerberts came through with a quality performance that will make it tough on opponents. They aimed for a roster with balance at key positions, adding a quarterback, two running backs, and two wide receivers within the first five rounds. As the draft concluded, CheckdownHerberts secured the highest-scoring tandem of quarterbacks in the league.

If other NFL.com users are right, Lamar Jackson was a steal in the 2nd round (23rd overall pick versus an ADP of 11.9).
In the 6th round, caution was thrown to the wind, as Jordan Howard was selected at pick number 87 versus an ADP of 115.5 across all NFL.com leagues.
With 1,076 projected rushing yards (ranking first among QBs), Lamar Jackson has multiple ways to bring in points.

So my team strength is te Hurst, yet its give me a free agent to target and two trade for along with kickers to target in trades or fa, don't remember recap been this funny before

What's the 3 reserve spots, is it new this year or have I forgotten it from last year,

I think it's usable if a player gets marked on the PUP or IR? expanded to 3 spots this year as there'll be players coming on and off it a lot, I'm not sure though.

hots · 08-09-2020 11:54am

Did anyone finish desperate at RB in the end? Jags named my late round flyer James Robinson as their #1 this morning, I don't think he'll be putting up mad numbers but could be a serviceable starter if someone's short.

keano_afc · 08-09-2020 9:58pm

The predictor is hilarious.

I'm going 12-1 apparently

:D

D9Male · 09-09-2020 12:47pm

I won the draft.

m4gu1r3 · 15-09-2020 12:35am

I see diontae johnson got -2 points for dropping a punt. Surely that should be on the defence/special teams and not the player, am I wrong?

Yeah fumbles count against players irrespective of whether they occur on special teams or not. It has always been this way.

I would like to report a robbery. Don't know how I won that match up Lloyd!

That is brutal!

Is it me or is our Waiver Wire a day longer than normal? My requests in my other leagues cleared this morning...

Yes the boards leagues process Thursday / Sunday. This is due to the standard settings Adrian has us work off.

The real mccoy 91 · 06-10-2020 3:28pm

Started fairly horrendously so I'm sending my roster with the exception of kyler and Jefferson to the shop window ideally looking for a rb to fill a McCaffrey sized hole

One on the way, doesn't help we're both at the bottom of the barrel for depth

The real mccoy 91 · 06-10-2020 5:04pm

Gonna have to turn down the 2 offers on the table if I'm giving up caff I am looking for a bit more of a bell cow back than henderson. The 2nd one makes more analytical sense but I dont feel comfortable giving up the 2 guys I want to keep and I already have taylor so dont want 2 rbs from the same team

LuckyLloyd · 06-10-2020 5:28pm

16 team leagues are terrible for trading tbh. Nobody has any real depth so it's very difficult to construct mutually beneficial trades that aren't lopsided. We also have a two day waiting period so any Thursday players need to be traded today.

Year in and year out in these boards leagues we see very little trading.

I took a look there but I don't see something that works for both of us I'm afraid!

I had another try there, fantasypros reckons you win it by 2% again but fairly close.

Yeah agreed, unless you have one team overstacked in RB and low at WR and vice versa or something. I had a look at yours there, you're well fixed for starters and stuffed for depth, relatively the opposite of me, and I still couldn't find a trade

LuckyLloyd · 06-10-2020 11:03pm

Well fair play on finding a deal lads. I rather prefer one side than the other, but it still helps both in some way. Good example of how to get a deal done in this landscape.

hots · 13-10-2020 9:02am

Lashed out a load of trade offers there, basically if you've got RB depth and not much at WR I'm coming with a bounty of WR2s...

The real mccoy 91 · 11-11-2020 6:32pm

I feel like I called it on draft night that the panthers would break caff this year and it looks like my nightmare is coming through.

On a separate note the league is seriously bunched this year all to play for between 3rd and 13th

yeah the wildcard spots are very very tight.

CMc is basically the entire Panther gameplan, I don't think there's another team as dependent on one player?

keano_afc · 16-11-2020 3:32pm

Mental note for next year: draft running backs early.

and often, the amount of the early drafted RBs that went down was brutal. In PPR1 there's a lot more WR depth to be found imo.

I've had the 3 RBs I drafted out injured for the last 3 weeks. There's nothing on the waiver, I got lucky to grab Ballage and Hall this week. Hopefully Mixon is back next week.

D9Male · 16-11-2020 4:58pm

I inexplicably dropped Big Ben for Baker this week. I deserve to lose, but it looks like I could hang on if Dalvin Cook does his thing tonight.

Basically my season has been salvaged by having Cook and RoJo. There is so much luck in this game as an injury to Cook and I would have a Jets-like record.

I went Barkley > Gurley in 1 & 2 and then stacked up on WRs & QB until round 8 because I thought I'd be sorted at RB for the year. I've been very lucky with Robinson at the Jags becoming my bell cow and then getting enough from Hines/Scott/McKissic to get by on RB2 each week. Robinson in the 14th was my pick of the draft by far.

m4gu1r3 · 03-12-2020 9:58pm

I think we potentially have a NFC East scenario in Division 2. As far as I can tell, I'm still in with a shout of the playoffs at 5-7. Although I need a massive favour from The Wildcats and I have to beat the commish!!!

Interesting stuff if my calculations are correct.

m4gu1r3 · 03-12-2020 9:59pm

Having said that, it also looks like I could still be relegated...funny old game!

hots · 04-12-2020 11:31am

4 playoff spots locked in, and 8 teams fighting for the last 2 spots!

LuckyLloyd · 04-12-2020 12:55pm

Very interesting conclusion on the year!!
The points for as tiebreaker rule really comes into its own now as we can see and understand how much we need to win by to squeeze others out

The real mccoy 91 · 04-12-2020 1:05pm

With the big Gronkowski having his division wrapped up I think the smart decision would be to rest all his big stars in preparation for the playoffs
