OK
We have 12 teams now.
When do we learn the order of the draft?
I need to make a few plans.... Knowing the draft order would help with that.

Then it will begin picking random until your Bench is also filled up.
Like 8 more WRs, or 3 kickers and 5 WRs....

Be very careful about how you set up for an autodraft.
You can kill your team with it.
I have....

So how many players do I get drafted into my team? I've picked a dozen or so from the top 100 including TE, WR, RB but I didn't know if I should be making a proper team... cheers for the pointers, I should be up to speed in a year or two! :lol:

Not until the draft itself gets generated, which is roughly 30 minutes before its start.

The autodraft did just fine for me last year with starters, the thing to watch for like Gnat says is too many/too few at each position... I think I had three team defenses last year, for instance. Unless I could play them all at a time, I have to feel there was some waste with those picks :roll:

Roster Positions: QB, WR, WR, RB, W/R/T, W/R/T, W/R/T, K, DEF, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN

Each team will have 9 starters and 15 total roster spots...

If you meant you picked a dozen from each position then that is probably enough for say QB, Kicker, and Defense...
But not for the other positions.

If you only picked a dozen players period then that is not nearly enough.

There will be 12 teams with each team picking a player every round.
For 15 rounds.
That comes to 180 players total.

Nine of the players on your 15 player roster will be your every week starters and the rest will be Bench Roster Spots (For when one of your regular starters is off that week, or playing a tougher team that week, or whatever).

If all you picked was a total of 12 players, there is no way you will get all of the 12 players you placed on your wish list.
In fact, if you get 2 or 3 of them I would call you a lucky guy.

The Luddites League will also return for this season...

We already have seven returning teams, and three slots to fill.

This isn't just for laughs....WE PLAY FOR MODULES!!!

Everyone antes up a 1E "letter" module. Winner gets them all. Last year Lucyjoyce got a nice pile of goodies, I think she ended up with the entire A-series, a WG4, T1, and a few others.

Contact me if you want to join, I'm still waiting to hear on a couple of returning teams but we'll have at least two slots open.....

Draft Date is Sunday, August 30th at 4:30 central time. We already have myself, Smarmy, PaulKM, Gnat, LucyJoyce, Mdr003, and Sheeadog.

Mike makes a great commissioner BTW;
The league is a basic Point Per Reception (PPR) league.

Which means what it sounds like; but for those who are not familiar with PPR.
Each (Offensive) player you start that catches a pass in a game gets ONE fantasy point for doing so.
Sounds low, but It adds up.

There are other rules of course, and they are easy to find on the site and easy to understand.

so I have just checked and my draft team has been made. There are 3 players I knowingly chose which I guess is ok, but tbh, I have absolutely no idea about the rest! :lol:

I'm guessing we'll see what happens over the next couple of weeks...

I figured I would try to drum up some additional support for the NFL Survival League. This one doesn't have a limit to the number of participants. All you have to do is pick one winning team per week (out of 16 or 14 matchups).

Last year, the survival league was over after week 6. :lol:

This year, Yahoo gives the option to have a Two Strike or Three Strike league instead of the One Strike league. Those who join, let me know if you would like a Two or Three Strike league instead of the One and done default.

Two strikes should be enough to get me out by week 3.... :lol:

I was out after the FIRST week last time... :roll:

We need more managers for the Luddites League.
Only 7 teams are signed up rigt now, with 5 days (Counting today and Sunday) to go before the draft....

What if you won?
Then you would have from 7 to 9 of them...

You dont need to offer a Module unless you do not win...
That wont be known until a few months from now.
