matty_mcfly Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 I only play the basic layout:QBRBRBWRWRTEWR/RB flex (open to making TEs eligible as well)KDefI'm out for anything else, at least it'll bring you down to 8 teams.Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkNot sure we're THAT attached to the 2 QBs that we want to lose people but it's the commish's call. Only suggested it being that I've never tried it and I have no money at risk in this league Quote "I can. I will.

AlexCold Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Like Matt said just a suggestion. No need to drop out. We have 12 teams and are set.We will play it with 1 QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1 TE, 1 RB/WR flex, 1 K, and 1 DEF.Also happy to announce that I will purchase a choice of NF shirt for the winner of the league. Just a little incentive to never give up and as a thanks for joining the fun!All newbies feel free to ask questions!Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk Quote Pinterest: Alex's Paleo Wins - Recipes on Pinterest Instagram: alexcold23 MFP: dalex916 Link to comment
AlexCold Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 i like the 2 qb idea, also how do we decide draft order?Draft order is decided on draft day by the application. Completely random.Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk Quote Pinterest: Alex's Paleo Wins - Recipes on Pinterest Instagram: alexcold23 MFP: dalex916 Link to comment
AlexCold Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 There is an auto draft feature right? I don't usually work wednesdays, but if I get called in I will be unable to be there for the draft wednesday.Yes, you can even set a preference list so you can avoid players you don't want tho you have to go very deep to avoid drafting a defense in the third round like a friend did in a league recently.Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk Quote Pinterest: Alex's Paleo Wins - Recipes on Pinterest Instagram: alexcold23 MFP: dalex916 Link to comment

I believe. I will try that out later tonight. EDIT So I made a watch list by clicking the stars. No way to organize them. I told the person who makes the schedule I would like wed off, so hopefully I'll be there for the live draft.

TheOtherScott Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I'm hoping to make the live draft, but I have a 15 month-old and that means no two evenings are alike. I did pre-rank some players so I'll (hopefully) get my picks in either way.

sheltiechick Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 What does one mean by "preranking" I saw only how to add players to a watch list. If you head to "draft central" and then "pre-draft rankings" you'll see a nice list down the middle with Yahoo's rankings of all players. To the left you have a DO NOT DRAFT list (click the red left arrow by a player's name to add them there) and to the right your "preferred players" list (click the green right arrow to add them there.) I should make the live draft but I did pre-rank a few people I want more than I want Oreo cookies just in case. 1 Quote Link to comment

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I won't be able to make the live draft, it's my anniversary (3 years, woot!), and I'll be out to dinner with Wifey.

cn3wton Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I was gonna say that Gainsdalf could draft from his phone... But I don't think that would go over to well. You could try to spin it as a fun "anniversary activity" but I doubt that would go any better...
