Well this is an inauspicious start. Didn’t double-check the draft date as usually I’m free anytime Sunday. But I’mma gonna have to autodraft as I have a random work thing then.

This will be an interesting season.

Set up a preferred list that is deep or you will end up with only injured guys after a few rounds. Designate your first pick to be a QB, you don't want straight 'best available at any position' or you will end up with 3RBs, 5WRs and a backup QB as your starter. Seriously, just take the safe route of 'having a functional team'.

I don' think I'm gonna be able to do this this year :( Is there anyway for me to transfer my spot to somebody else on the wait list? I won't drop out until I find out.

There is no wait list. I will throw up a hail mary on the general fantasy football thread, but 19 hours before the draft is rough. What is your team name so I can switch owners if I find one?



Also in case it was missed, Andrew Luck retired today, don't be the sad, sad person that drafts him.

I saw the hail mary.

What draft slot does tadashi have? Can't tell from the thread and the league link in the OP is broken (need to see that for scoring/roster settings etc.). Also, can we do auction instead of snake? :getin:

Yeah this is the league where you hear about someone's backup RB hurting his leg and rush to find out who the 3rd string is. Then end up hoping and praying you get them off the waiver wire.

Worth mentioning that you probably want to wait until Tuesday so you don't blow your waiver position super early. I've done that at least 3 times in this league.

I know you mentioned it in the draft chat but if you can’t get to it I’ll see what I can do when I get back home. Most likely late Saturday/Sunday. Pretty sure the tool that helps with it is still available.

And the official reason I think is to make sure we play all division games twice, have some conference games and a couple of OOC games. I think if you let ESPN do it manually it just throws up random teams and makes playoff calculations a living hell, even more so than what they are now.

Ok, trying something out with the schedule maker. For those vets who have said that we play the same games against the same teams each year, how does this look? I flipped around some of the teams (but kept all the divisions intact). If this is correct, each team plays divisional opponents twice, three other conference opponents, and two non-conference games. Yeah, you're always going to play your division the most, but you should have some new opponents otherwise.

Have a look and unless darkwolf wants to do his own schedule or anyone has major objections, we can use this. The blue just means a "home" game, but that shouldn't have any effect on playoffs.
