Fantrax, that's a FF site? Is that where the league is hosted, or...? Why not just have all the goons plan in scott fish bowl and give out prizes for top goons there? Are many people playing in both?

Oh, I didn't realize it was invite only. I just briefly went to its website and it has a signup spot saying there's like 12,000 people signed up.

tbf this draft is starting way the hell early and should be delayed weeks I’ve done slow drafts before and you can start in August, well after preseason has started, and finish in plenty of time. The August draft ranks will be way different so the other Scott Fish draft results will be irrelevant too.

89 posted:drat. Well, thinking about it again, if I had something like 20 people playing, I might end up with mostly complaints about MFL or Fantrax in general anyways. I tried to move my >10+ year main money 14-team league from ESPN to MFL one year. It was a disaster. Even in a league filled with people who had been playing fantasy for years, they hated MFL and could not adjust and complained ENDLESSLY. We went back to ESPN the following year.

I've never used fantrax before. How do we see our 12-team divisions and draft order? Anything else we should know about the site? I don't see a native mobile app for it.

Are these draft settings from the league site correct? I thought it started Monday and was a slow draft, not live draft. Also 22 rounds?quote:Draft Type: Live Online Standard (Regular & Slow)

Drunk Nerds posted:Yeah, that's weird... I'll check that and fix it, thanks for bringing it to my attention. Ok, great. Some other Fantrax GoonFB (GFB) differences I noted compared to Scott Fish Bowl settings: SFB locks players at kickoff, but GFB locks at 5 minutes before kickoff. SFB Blind Bidding Ties Are Broken By: Earliest Submitted Bid Wins GFB Bid tie-breaker: Lowest ranked team in the standings wins the bid I'm not entirely clear on how fantrax free agent handling works after a player is dropped, but it looks like there may be some other differences there too. GFB has "Maximum Reserve Players: 8" but there is no equivalent setting on SFB. I have no idea what the Fantrax reserve player setting does, but it seems different from injured reserve, and maybe we should not have it? GFB has this setting: "Score Flex positions by the players' actual positions: No". Does that mean that a TE in a flex slot will not get the TE bonus scoring? What does it mean, I guess?

Awesome, thanks. I am also exceedingly happy to be in 89's division. Two reasons: 1. he is a prolific poster, smart FF player, fun guy, and FELLOW EAGLES FAN. 2. This league does not allow trades and he is so trade-addicted that he will hate his entire roster by week 2.

Drunk Nerds posted:Good, I needed a puzzle to get me through the weekend. At the league home page, the very top-right pop-up menu (three horiz lines) has a support/feedback option that includes toll free phone numbers for support. Maybe they can help fix the draft? I know that ESPN's support is usually pretty quick on responses during draft season. My main concern here, aside from actually having picks  is that on Tues-Fri this week during eastern timezone work hours, I'll be entirely unable to draft and generally without internet. I don't want to time out, of course, so if the draft was all set up, I could see my slot, etc., then I was going to edit my early round draft order and maybe set some predraft picks (if that's even possible on fantrax?). Never used fantrax before so I'll just jump on my picks as soon as I actually can each day.edit: p.s. draft settings still show as below for me (as per prior rounds/time discussion) quote:Draft Type: Live Online Standard (Regular & Slow) pmchem fucked around with this message at 21:20 on Jul 6, 2019 |

Drunk Nerds posted:Oh that's funny. I got pick 9 and I think I couldn't be more satisfied. Ok, the Dracula division draft looks like a normal old draft order so I think you've solved most of our problems, if people actually show up at the correct draft site when things kick off  One thing to fix @ divisional draft sites, I'm seeing this: quote:Draft Date: Tue Jul 9 2019, 11:00PM EDT I imagine that's supposed to be AM not PM? Also i'm gonna msg you some other info I got from fantrax support, but I'll avoid confusing everyone in thread.

Dracula division is still scheduled for: Draft Date: Tue Jul 9 2019, 11:00PM EDT (PM instead of AM) Also, weird thought: the dracula div homepage says it has 12 of 60 people joined. Will the draft even begin if the league isn't full? On some sites, the league must be full to draft. May want to adjust max players on the draft sites?

I’m riding in a car at the moment but am going Kittle at 1.10 dracula. TE is just stupid good in this format and they should all go way over fantrax ranking/adp.

Alfalfa posted:Way under heh, okay I can see how that phrasing may be interpreted differently. What I meant was that TEs should be drafted way before their fantrax ranking/adp (fantrax's draft ranks are useless for fish bowl scoring format and its projections are off too). I just got home and drafted Kittle.

It's weird, with a 22 round draft, the waiver wire is gonna be thin. In many leagues I can rely on playing matchups with bench/waiver wire TEs and discovering a useful starter midseason (hello Eric Ebron!). But in this league, those waiver guys simply won't be available. So you gotta have a prime starter. e: that's on top of TEs having the insane double PPR and PPFD scoring pmchem fucked around with this message at 02:51 on Jul 10, 2019 |

He seems healthy and in a better spot right now than a lot of other guys so I rolled with him. First 5 rounds of this draft, it’s virtually impossible to draft a bad team on paper. I look forward to talking mad poo poo about your wasted 10th rounder though!!!

We're on glide path to have our first autodraft pick in Dracula but I guess after someone takes Tarik Cohen as their RB2 in the 5th, things start to look grim
