Really? You don't see the advantage? Come on.
Hey.. backoff... that's my guy!!
Nice.After the draft begins, if someone leaves or repeatedly takes too long, a 2-minute timer will be instituted.
I was never that high on DeAngela. Quincy Morgan is my deep sleeper here. Guy is due for a breakout game.
Please explain the advantage that picking first in the third has over picking first in the first.
Wait....what? I might like to have some time to prepare and shouldn't be under pressure to draft within a particular window...
I understand.
We actually made this decision internally (when we decided to do this in the preseason) that we would use 3RR and KDS for legs 2 and 3 and to rank the contestants selections by how they finished in leg 1. I personally think that's the fairest way to work things. I think it does even out things generally. Whether that is the case this year with LT not his usual self remains to be seen. We will keep this format for legs 2 and 3 as long as we continue to do this contest though as I think it is the fairest situation and if it does reward any teams - it's those that did very well in leg 1.BTW - Why are we using third round reversal?This is supposed to eliminate the percieved huge advantage that there as been in the past for the discrepencies in the value of the top picks. But it is still a contraversial theory that hasn't been proved to even things out. And even more confusing is that there really isn't a stand out player this year unlike most other years. Adding the TRR give a huge advantage to the late round picks in this format this particular year. You can see this by the way the slots have been chosen. I'm not asking for it to be changed. I'm just curious as to why it was chosen for this particular leg. Doesn't make sense to me to give such an advantage to draft slots which in turn starts us off on an uneven playing field.
Two bad he still has his Bye week though.
Does the AI on the pre-draft understand that if, by my rankings, I get RB-RB in Rounds 1 & 2, that I would want a QB or WR in Rd 3 even if there is a higher rated RB? (sincerely, I'd like to know, because if so, that would kick butt.)
Shhh...Two bad he still has his Bye week though. :(
Sorta. You are able to draft a certain position (or best available player regardless of position) in each round. You can designate it to draft RB, RB, WR, QB, etc or any, any, WR, QB. However, the "any" could possibly leave you with QB, QB, WR, QB in that example.
The scoring system at your MFL page is correct.
Well, I was hoping to view it while I sat here doing nothing. But I guess I can wait.
umm... this is Leg 2. I think everyone's on the same page.Shhh...Two bad he still has his Bye week though.
My bad. Thought you had the link.
Thanks, CG!
While I tend to agree with you that the bottom picks provide a slight advantage right now, each person still has to make the right picks of players. During a 16 game season, things can change drastically. Some players blow the first 4-5 weeks and then turn it on. We saw that with LT last year. Other players come out the gate hot, then level off. That happens every year with McNabb. Plus, with drafting after 5 weeks, there is no "ADP" right now to guide the uninformed. It is all about knowledge and personal strategy rather than someone else having spoonfed you on who to draft at what point.
person who picks 1st in the 3rd also picks 1st in the 2nd.Team A - 1.01, 2.12, 3.12, 4.01 (1, 24, 36, 37)
Thanks. Lot of football left.By the way, I know Fro probably would not want me to do this, but he deserves it anyway. He is having really good years so far in WCOFF and FFPC, and I say nice job, and keep it up.
so is switching allowed if someone needs to?
Can someone please explain how to wipe my ### please?
Remove your head?(I can't access most FF sites from work, GB.)
Bass = :deadmoney:
Yes. We will draft at the MFL page.
I'd just like to make a quick correction here.I will in fact be running the draft for league 1.
QB-4 pts passingPPRQB/RB/RB/WR/WR/WR/TE/Flex/PK/DefStWhat else do you need to know?
So I'm thinking there's no switching since two previous posts have been ignored?
Stuff like 1/20 passing and 1 PPR for WRs only is helpful to know.QB-4 pts passingPPRQB/RB/RB/WR/WR/WR/TE/Flex/PK/DefStWhat else do you need to know?Remove your head?(I can't access most FF sites from work, GB.)
This leg will be the toughest by far. There is no ADP data. Most, BUT NOT ALL, players will have a bye during the period. Cheat sheets and projections from pre-season hold limited value, yet no cheetsheets are available to cover JUST the next five weeks. While the 250 forward is nice, we don't care about the last five weeks. Injuries matter more then normal.To put it simply, there are far fewer "crutches" to lean on for this draft then in any other draft most of us will have ever participated in. The relatively short 5 week window magnifies any potential mistakes.Truthfully, 'Ultimate Survivor" is the perfect name for this contest, and I'm stoked to be a part of it no matter how badly I whoop the second round competition! 
Talk to me when I'm not batting 1000 in the EBF Invitational.Bass = :deadmoney:
I made it this far by avoiding Bye week players in Leg 1; only had 3 total. But I'm not sure that makes as much sense in this round. Do I draft Brown or Addai at 1.01 just because they've had their Bye?umm... this is Leg 2. I think everyone's on the same page.Shhh...Two bad he still has his Bye week though.

I'll have my 5 week cheetsheet - accounting for byes, SOS, remaining FP (based on my projections),etc. - finished before I leave work tomorrow.speak for yourself.This leg will be the toughest by far.
