FFPC dynasty and redraft thread (1 Viewer)

I typically make my picks pretty quickly, but I'm going to be honest with ya'll. One of my biggest pet peeves in all of fantasy football is people whining about drafts going too slowly.

The seasons is 4 months away. We're going to make it. Draft time is like Christmas, a brief reprieve from the boring offseason. I don't know why everyone is in such a rush to finish it so we can all go back to sitting on our thumbs for the next 4 months.

It's the worst in startup drafts. In the one I'm in now there are three guys that throw a hissy fit every time someone takes longer than 15 mins to pick. And you just know these are the clowns that are leaving behind orphans every year or two so they can re-do 8 more startup drafts the next year. I've never left a league, so I get to do a startup draft once or twice every 3-4 years. I'm not in a rush to get it done so I can do nothing for the next 3 months. There's one guy that takes a ton of time every time his pick comes up. But he's also made, by far, the most trades. Let the man have his fun. I'm sure other times when he picks without trading there are trades he was working on that just didn't materialize. Or maybe he was just outside enjoying life for a few hours. More power to him.

Fight me.
Half of leagues are made of people that complain about how slow it goes and the other half of those leagues are full of people complaining about the people complaining. Hehe I'm with you.

To be clear, I clock sit myself if I'm waiting on responses to offers. I'm sure people complain about me. And, yes, I'm commissioner of several leagues where we have no draft timer at all, and I tell people the same thing -- we've got plenty of time to finish. However, I do think that sitting on the clock for 14 hours in FFPC is extreme.
 
On the draft clock thing let me just say times have really changed.

In the initial first few years of FFPC dynasty people did not chew nearly as much clock as they do now. We'd have leagues where almost the entire league was live in the draft room, back and forth chatting on players/draft, and if someone was going to take a few hours they'd give everyone a heads up. Yes the bad news is it went bye fast but it was fun. It made draft day/weekend more of an event. But IMO the people who chew the clock on a constant basis killed that off and I get why some people get agitated about it. I used to get fired up about it myself, but after years of it it's my new expectation and don't care anymore.

Old man rant over.

People are in too many leagues now, and have basically no "relationship" with any of the other 11 owners in most cases. They essentially just don't care.
Also, maybe the FFPC should stagger the rookie drafts more rather than start them all within a close timeframe

Part of this though is because leagues have so much turnover it's hard to develop that.

My first FFPC league from 2019 I knew the teams by heart. Knew the owners. Knew how they negotiated, could tell you what team the players I liked were on by heart, etc.

There are only 3 OG owners left from that league (including me). I can't even keep track of which teams the players I like are on (because the team names change every year with new owners), and definitely can't build any kind of relationship with other owners or learn their tendencies.

And that league, with 3 stable owners out of 12 after 6 years is probably on the high side. Most of the leagues I'm in have turned over 8-9 owners without the first 2-3 years.
 
Yeah that, too. But even just the basic decency of letting people know "hey I won't be available from like 2-6, sorry, send offers if you want, otherwise I'll pick around 6 when available".
Instead it's just radio silence.
 
I suppose it's too early to really reflect on these drafts and I don't want to get into names that are still pending in some leagues. But thru almost 4 rounds of most of these, there really haven't been any surprises. Only a couple vets have come off the boards. Mims, Mooney, Keenan Allen. Mims went a couple times now as early as late 2nd and I just took him in one at 4.02
 
I'm in 7 of these. All are SuperFlex or TriFlex except our SharkPool league that is 1QB. There have only been two QBs taken in the first two rounds of any of these SF, Ward and Dart. Or I should say thru 21 picks which includes all 7 drafts. Here is the ADP from those 7, acknowledging and understanding that the one single-QB league does skew it just a skosh.

For example, in our SP league, Harvey was taken at pick 3, ahead of his ADP here of 8.2. If I took the 1QB draft out of it, his ADP would be ~9.0, and so as such I decided to give the edge here to Judkins, who also put up an 8.2. But other than that one example I don't think including the single-QB draft changes much in terms of what you might glean. Really super super chalky drafts.

Jeanty 1.0
Hampton 2.3
Henderson 4.5
Ward 4.6
McMillian 4.8
Hunter 5.3
Loveland 7.2
Judkins 8.2
Harvey 8.2
Warren 9.7
K Johnson 10.5
Egbuka 12.2
Burden III 13.7
Dart 13.8
Golden 14.3
Skattebo 15.0
Higgins 17.5
Tuten 18.0
Bech 18.6
Harris 19.7
Milroe 19.8
Blue 20.5

There are a couple names that are one or two-offs thru 21 picks so Imma wait until they show up in all 7 before updating them into this. In the late teens though.

Got one more share of Mason Taylor. 2/7 total. Made a trade last night in a TriFlex.

Sent my future 3rd (late) and 3.12
Got 3.04 OTC and took MT

but this was the first and only draft that went a little weird. I started making offers around 2.08 OTC to move and grab MT but Fannin came off as TE3 at 2.12 and then Arroyo as TE4 at 3.03

@phandango and I just got him at 3.08 in one of our drafts, as the 5th TE off the board in that one. Loveland and Warren went at 7 and 10 overall, then Ferguson and Fannin went earlier in the 3rd, and Arroyo went the pick after us. We've got McBride and Andrews, so if Taylor shows any signs makes it even easier for us to try and move Andrews for help elsewhere.

Didn't like any of the WRs left enough to take one of them over Taylor, plus the range that these WRs are being taken right now is pretty varied by draft, that there is a decent shot one of the guys we were considering drops to us in the late 4th.

I hope/imagine some of the other owners in this league will reply with the thoughts behind their picks.
For my team....

I was Win Now for the first 4 years of this league (winning the first 2 chips). I made a couple of horrible trades to keep the Win Now window stay open longer, but didn't make the playoffs the last 2 years (but "won" the 1.1 pick in both of the consolation playoff brackets as per FFPC's rules to play it out and earn your rookie draft pick order)

Anyway, I have NOT sold off old assets yet for a full rebuild and am attempting to see if I can still compete this year while bringing in fresh blood...
My 16 keepers were:
QB: JAllen, McCarthy
RB: Conner, AJones, Harris, Corum, Estime
WR: Adams, Evans, Reed, McMillian
TE: Kelce, Kraft, Goedert
K: Sanders MIA
D: GB

So, yeah, getting old at all positions except QB.

My picks:
1.1 Jeanty RB LV - slam dunk. immediate youth and stud improvement to my RB corps
2.6 Bech WR LV - as a Raiders fan, I've avoided them in fantasy for years. I guess I'm back on board with the current regime. Either way, a hopeful WR1 who's highly regarded
2.9 Taylor TE NYJ - Kraft + Taylor go a long way to giving me a good, young TE corps
3.4 Sampson RB CLE - BPA. My toughest pick. Was torn between Sampson, Etienne, Neal and I let the pre-NFL-draft talent evalution of Sampson be the deciding factor.
4.3 Bryant WR DEN - was targeting him in all 3 of my FFPC drafts in the 4th round and got him in 2 of 3. I like him based solely on Sean Payton's positive comments about him post draft.
5.1 BAL DST - needed to upgrade my crappy GB D. that I only picked up for spot starts during the playoffs (I don't for the life of me know why FFPC doesn't do 1 post-season FAAB run. Ugh)
6.1 Shipley RB PHI - dart throw from a batch of backup RBs available

feeling VERY good about the players I drafted in this league, but don't know if I can ride a win now/rebuild approach. If I fade in the first 5-6 weeks of the season, it'll like be time to sell off a few quality vets.

I'll reply with my thoughts later but the division randomizations have been freaking brutal.

First draft I finished a few days ago and they put the 1(me), 3 and 4 seeds from last year in the same division.

Second one finished this afternoon and they put the 1(me) , 2 and 3 seeds in the same division.

Then our Sharkpool league was the third one and my sorry team gets put in same division as #1 and #4 seed last year, and multiple league champ who had one bad year and reloaded with Jeanty.

I mean come one.

Good draft.

1.1 is obvious but can honestly say I'd have done the same thing you did wit the players on the clock when you were up. One difference is I'd have picked Taylor at 2.6 but you probably played the board better.

May not have picked the Bryant at 4.3 but that's just because my roster is getting a bit WR heavy( drafted him in similar range in another league and came close in a few more), but was easily the best rookie WR and like you I'm influenced by what Payton is saying, and does not hurt his production was very similar to Michael Thomas college production.
 
I finished the 2024 regular season in 1st place per record at 10-4, was 4th in points but missed the 1st round playoff bye and got bounced in the play-in week 15 for the 2nd year in a row. I had the highest weekly score 4 of the first 9 weeks. But my depth has continued to be a problem as I have continued to (allow myself to) pay the consequences for the gamble(s) I took during the startup. Mainly this means that to continue to stay competitive, I have leveraged my future picks each season in order to get more current year rookie draft capital. Basically spamming everybody in the league the instant they're on the clock. I've made some shrewd trades that have worked out very well for me. The Pitts trade jury is still in deliberations for a bit but yea really need him to do something this year. I once had Kelce, once had Andrews, once had McBride and now I've got Pitts, Otton and Sinnott.

All that to say that I'm still competitive but walked into this draft with just the 6.03 and an opinion of Zay Flowers that I've made pretty clear by now. I figured he was really the only asset I could parlay into something but if I hadn't made the move with Meno to grab 2.03 and 4.02 I was probably ready to hold Zay at that point once Tuten came off. My preference would have been to grab Kaleb Johnson if I had been able to make a deal.

So yeah after the Flowers trade it went like this:

2.03 Tuten - I only have Swift and Henry as legit starters. To stay competitive I need a 3rd viable starter. At least.
4.09 Monangai - dart throw I need RBs and he could earn the handcuff role to my Swift
5.02 Cedric Tillman - It's just Jeudy ahead of him, no? and Njoku and terrible QB situation I get it but 5th round and I need WR depth at this point after moving Flowers
5.06 Roman Wilson - After Pickens trade I see blurb saying Steelers counting on jump from Wilson, and he was tearing up training camp before getting hurt last year, so why not
6.03 Keaton Mitchell - RB depth dart throw to pair with my Derrick Henry
7.06 Noah Gray - just some TE depth IDK maybe he becomes relevant if Kelce truly fades this year

After moving Flowers, my top-heavy WR roster was/is pretty thin. Jefferson Nabers and Metcalf, who I thought about trying to move instead of Flowers but I have visions of Aaron Rodgers flicking his wrist for 70 yard TD bombs playing in my head and Metcalf eating targets in Pittsburgh (I've softened on this since) so I decide to try to move Flowers. He is also younger and people tend to hate Metcalf. He doesn't have a super strong market these days. So now that trio with Tillman, Wilson and the dying shell of Romeo Doubs who may or may not make my roster (I still think he is the X in GB).

Anyway all in all I'm happy with what I was able to do. The 4.02 I got back in the Tuten/Flowers deal was traded to Joey for 4.09 and 5.02 and I think for playing small ball, I did alright. But, I also have my future 1st, 2nd and 3rd round draft picks and so I am hoping to start turning the tide.

Murray, Fields
Henry, Swift, Tuten, Allgeier, McLaughlin, Monangai, K Mitchell
Jefferson, Nabers, Metcalf, Tillman, Wilson, Doubs
Pitts, Otton, Sinnott, Gray

at least 3 of those won't make week 1
 
I was sitting on 1.3, 1.9 and 2.3 as my premium picks before the draft. Had earlier traded 3.3 as part of a deal for Likely.

After the NFL draft I was having an extremely hard time deciding what to do with 1.3. I'll put it this way, I had 11 first round picks spread across my dynasty leagues and I'd say a good 80% of the mental energy I spent was focused on what to do with that pick 3. My dilemma was I needed a RB but liked Hunter over RB after the top 2 and try to avoid drafting for need. This league has not been overly zesty on drafting TE's and after I scanned the rosters of teams picking 4-8 my best guess was they'd empty out the top 6 RB's and top 2 WR's, a guess I got wrong. But under this scenario it was going to leave me staring TE as my BPA at pick 9 which was not ideal because I'm solid at TE already, would fail to address my RB need, and I really liked the value of second round TE's and had already planned to draft Mason Taylor at 2.3 unless I was left me some unexpected options.

So my concern was if I went Hunter, I'd get locked into TE at pick 9, either another TE in round 2 or revert from BPA and go for need with someone like Skattebo or Tuten. So I'd have a team with a big RB need and I'd walk out of one of the richest RB drafts in history with 3 top 15 picks and absolutely fail to address the spot and be just wonky heavy at TE and fairly deep at WR and then just hope I could work out some trades later.

Before the draft @Penguin offered me 2/14 for 3/9 and at that time, and after, I had good tier drop from that 9 to 14. Before the draft I was thinking Henderson was most likely going to be a Bronco or Bear and he'd be my guy at 3 and that would be an easy call. Henderson the Patriot was not as exciting So I spent a few days after the NFL draft thinking of making the offer back to Penguin, with no idea if he still wanted to do it. I eventually mapped out my top 14 players, become content with the worst case scenario of player 14 being the BPA left for me and made the offer to Penguin. A little after I made the offer I took my dog on a long walk during which I kept thinking of what I'd do at pick 3 and during that one walk I probably flip flopped between Hunter and Henderson 4 or 5 times. Indecision was killing me. When I got home I saw he had made a decision on the trade and to my relief, so I'd not have to think about it anymore, he accepted.

If your ADHD has not kicked in and you are still with me this is how it went and my thinking behing the picks:

1.2 -Omarion Hampton- obviously the reason I made the trade. I'm way lower then consenus on his value next year I do think Najee's an issue. But he's still probably my RB2 next year and longterm my foundation RB.

2.2- Luther Burden- when I moved 9 to 14 he was my realistic best case scenario. I had 12 players I viewed as worth a first round pick, he was the last one.

2.3- Zay Flowers via trade -this already got a lot of discussion in trade thread. For sure not what I was planning on doing. Negative is my team, which used to be super TE heavy is now super WR heavy and I got 7 nice young WR's with Juedy as the old guy. Gives me some trade flexibilty and probably some painful WDIS calls. But this was simply a case of accepting the value.

4.1- Tahj Brooks- I have Chase Brown, he has a shot to be his handcuff.

5.3-Dontayvion Wicks- After I got Flowers as my 7th young WR I told myself I could probably not draft or spend a FA dollar on a WR in 5 years and probably be ok at the position.But I once had that thought about not bidding aggressively on Trey McBride when I thought I was loaded at TE. So went with a guy I walk of about every draft with because I still think he has immense upside. Do I think he will realize his upside potential? Probably not but for a 5th round rookie pick I'd rather he was on my team then someone else's in case he does.

6.7-Dameon Pierce- I drafted him in all 7 of my rookie drafts and there is a chance I cut him in all 7. But I liked taking the shot because I think he can play, I like his odds a lot more then a lot of the RB's going in round 3-4 and he's not much older then most of them, born same calendar year as Marks who went in round 3. Had value before, ran for 170 in his lone start last year. Yada, yada, yada. I think he's going to keep the job as Mixon's backup but that may not be enough to stick on my teams even though I'd like to roster him heading into FA. But just the same I'd rather put him on my roster now in the unlikely event Mixon should suffer and injury or the Texans make him available in a trade. I specifically dream of Bears in the Montgomery type role.

In one of the bigger surprises my TE hording self failed to draft a TE in one of the richest TE drafts. This would be my only league out of 7 that occured. But I did get Likely using pick 3.3 as I mentioned so not a total zero.

Final roster with 2 cuts needed:

QB: Maye, Purdy

RB: Hampton, Chase Brown/Brooks, Rhamondre, ETN/Bigsby and Pierce

WR: BTJ, London, Marvin, Flowers, Jeudy, Pickens, Burden and Wicks.

TE: Laporta, Kincaid and Likely
 
I promised myself I wouldn’t join any more leagues…but I was having rookie draft withdrawal yesterday with all 3 of my FFPC dynasty drafts ending over last weekend.

So I decided to jump into a silly little $10 Best Ball 1QB league. Grabbed Henry/Nabers at the 1.12/2.1 turn :)
Only 10 bucks. Have fun drafting. And then no in-season management needed. Maybe I win a couple of bucks in the best case scenario.

I’ve told myself that this is my only other May draft, but I’m likely targeting another $10 SuperFlex Best Ball league to get me thru June.

I have issues. :loco:

Maybe I throw up a flare in this thread when I’m ready to join a $10 SF best ball in June and we see if we can get a few SharkPoolers into the same league?
 
A team that was already cut down to 14 players cut Pittman and Coker overnight. Pittman has been disappointing due to bad QB play but I think he should still hold late 2nd early 3rd value.
yeah that's insane and makes no sense. there is a team in one of my leagues that is only at 9 players right now and very few picks. is just giving stuff away and it's weird.
My bad they have 11 players now. TriFlex:

Daniels, Stroud
Estime, Lloyd
Lamb, Douglas, Boutte, Dell, Coker, Shaheed
Ertz
and they have 1.01, 2.06, 3.09. Their future 1st, 2nd and 3rd are gone.

A different team in the same league only has 13 players but they're absolutely loaded:

Mahomes, Hurts
Bijan, Gibbs, Wright
Nabers, Puka, Garrett Wilson, Rice, Worthy
Bowers, McBride, LaPorta
and they have 1.05, 1.07, 1.08, 1.12, 2.03, 2.05, 2.07, 3.02, 3.04 along with FOUR future 1sts and SIX future 2nds.


wow
This 2nd team that is loaded absolutely imploded their team during the rookie draft. Ok just kidding they're still ridiculous.

Mahomes, Hurts, Dart
Bijan, Gibbs, Henderson, Tuten, Wright, Shipley
Nabers, Puka, Garrett Wilson, Rice, Worthy, McMillian, Egbuka, Higgins, K Williams, C Austin
Bowers, McBride, LaPorta, Loveland, Fannin
along with FOUR future 1sts and SIX future 2nds.

Four cuts to make. But it won't happen like that. Most impressive.
 
Been in the LG since it's inception in 2021, made playoffs every yr, including #1 seed 3 out of the 4 yrs. Finally got lucky in playoffs last yr and barely eeked out the ship over Marauders & BDH (only 3 points separated 1st from 3rd!). I'll take it considering some of my poor playoff luck in 2021-2022.

Been pretty competitive every year in spite of not drafting particularly well.

1.12 M. Golden - Egbuka was gone, considered Burden, but ultimately went with Golden who I do not feel warm and fuzzy about at all. All about draft capital, analysis from analysts I trust and being a believer in J Love and the GB offense.

2.06 Kyle Williams - I really like him and his situation and I put my money where my mouth is and traded the 3.03 and future 2nd to move up and get him. NE has terrible WR draft record I know, but analysts (and me!) like Williams a lot more than we ever liked Thornton and Polk etc.

3.02 Ollie Gordon - I reached here and probably should have traded back a little, but I wanted an RB and had him as the RB10 which is right where I took him. Probably just a lot of Hopeium, but I think he could be the Thunder for MIAs Achane Lightening and possibly the goal line back right out of the gate.

3.12 James Jordan - Dart throw
4.02 Roschon Johnson - Dart throw
5.12 Z. Ertz - I tend to fade TE and therefore I am perpetually in search of them
6.12 Demario Douglas - Meh, not much left at this point
7.12 Juwan Johnson

Players beyond the 1st that I also like, but not really in a position to get include: Tuten, Harris, Higgins, Hunter, Marks, Brooks, Teslaa

Current Roster:

Mahomes, Mayfield
J. Taylor, A Kamara, J Mixon, T. Pollard, J. Warren, Roschon Johnson, Ollie Gordon
P. Nacua, T. McLaurin, X. Worthy, C. Godwin, C. Kupp, Matthew Golden, S. Diggs, Kyle Williams, Demario Douglas
M. Andrews, Z. Ertz, Juwan Johnson
 
FFPC updated their site with the new schedule and I shockingly have no weeks across my 2 leagues with major bye week issues. Have 2 weeks with 2 projected starters off and one week with 3 and that's it .
 
Anyone think that FFPC should have one final FAAB run AFTER the season championship game is over? I know that I make last minute moves for the final matchup of the season (whether fighting for the Chip or in the Consolation Bracket) that are not in the long term interest of my dynasty team. Is it just me who would like one last FAAB run to kind of set myself up for the off-season since roster moves lock (besides trades of course). Thoughts?
 
Why limit waiver wires? Have them run once a week, or once every two weeks in the off season.

I would spend all my FABB before the season even started. 😂
 
Big Gorilla last night from the 8 spot. IDK

Fields
Harvey, Skattebo, Spears, M Lloyd, Ekeler, Hunter, Monangai, Mafah
Jefferson, McConkey, Worthy, Jamo, Waddle
Andrews, Pitts, Arroyo, Schultz
D&K

Spears was actually a panic pick as my clock ran out lol. Would have preferred Braelon Allen there with 10 more seconds to think.

I mean you pretty much have to wait until people have paid up again. By the time that happens for all 12 squads it's almost time to cutdown to 16. Then you blink and the rookie draft is here. Would we add one more preseason wire in early August? Meh IDK. Once we get that far I'd rather just wait all the way.

Yeah I think you hit the nail on the head. They won't do a FAAB run when several of the teams in the league don't have an owner.

I was talking about right after week 17 ends. That Wednesday. Not later in the offseason.

It's not a hot button issue for me either way but I think the problem is waivers run after the fantasy season is over are explicitly moves made for the following season when a large chunk of people in these leagues won't be returning for that next season.

Also, and technically you could do this before if you just don't care and have nothing on the line but never underestimate the power of spite. I'm sure somewhere in some leagues out there someone will be so frustrated and disappointed with how their season ended, the way they felt the league treated them, they'd just be a d**k and release good players with zero intention of returning to the league, just to muck stuff up, especially when they know their teams won't even bring back their deposit and only make that team harder and cheaper for the FFPC to unload.

So again for me not a big issue, appreciate your passion for it-never stop grinding, but I can see why the FFPC would view this as much more a potential hassle then it's worth.

I save my energy/complaints in dynasty for the idiotic seeding process of the draft playoffs, which I hope to not be in for awhile.

Right. That's what I meant too. You can't run waivers when people aren't paid up yet. Or let people who are about to leave run a last waiver. That's too ripe for disaster.

makes total sense to me now. Didn't realize that's what you were also saying. Thanks for clarifying.

Standing down...

Maybe I'll shift my complaining back to "how come I have to re-log-in to the site half the times I try to access the Stats tab"? ;)
 
I promised myself I wouldn’t join any more leagues…but I was having rookie draft withdrawal yesterday with all 3 of my FFPC dynasty drafts ending over last weekend.

So I decided to jump into a silly little $10 Best Ball 1QB league. Grabbed Henry/Nabers at the 1.12/2.1 turn :)
Only 10 bucks. Have fun drafting. And then no in-season management needed. Maybe I win a couple of bucks in the best case scenario.

I’ve told myself that this is my only other May draft, but I’m likely targeting another $10 SuperFlex Best Ball league to get me thru June.

I have issues. :loco:

Maybe I throw up a flare in this thread when I’m ready to join a $10 SF best ball in June and we see if we can get a few SharkPoolers into the same league?
Have not done a FFPC $10 BB league, but I have done multiple $5. I easily get my money's worth evan with never winning anything....

This is the gateway drug to becoming a full blown best ball bro

I just joined a $5 FFPC Best Ball Slim league (2 hour draft timer) that only had 1 person in it, so there are 10 more slots open if any SharkPool folks are interested in joining to make it a little more interesting than just playing against randoms.

League #97161

If folks here join, I'll change my team name from my usual stupid fantasy name over to my SharkPool name so we know who is who.

Let's fill this league up!

I joined. 2hrs is going to be tough being west coast I bet a few picks I'll miss before I even wake up since the timer starts back up 5am my time, haha.

Ha. West Coast as well and didn’t consider that.

I’ll have to more carefully pre-rank players in my queue in case I time out.

Right now, it looks like 3 SharkPool names I recognize (me, Freebagel and Raging Weasels) and 3 randoms. Let’s fill it up, folks!
 
I just joined, what the heck.

I do struggle with the 2 hour clock and I'm in the CST. I'm in a $125 BB tourney slow draft now and have had to set my alarm all week. Kind of annoying sometimes, but also a nice way to start each day.

The draft filled in the middle of the night a few weeks ago and I woke up to the email it filled, checked the app and saw I was 3 picks away and thought I had pick 4 or 5, that maybe 1-2 picks had been made. Then after I fully woke up and checked I saw I was pick 10, draft was already on pick 7 before I even woke up and knew it was going. I keep different hours.
 
The amount of leagues some of you folks do is just exhausting to think about. I'm currently in one total. It's liberating. I'm hopeful to join year two of the Shark Pool league to make 2 total. I could see maybe 3 if the right one came about. Maybe. Hundreds? Get out a here. Ha ha

Just to be sure, not meaning to insult you by asking, but you do know these Best Ball drafts don't require any management, right?

I actually didn't know that. Ha ha. Appreciate the kid gloves approach. Thanks.

Yeah, this is exactly why I’m doing a couple this year for the first time ever: no in-season management at all.

My 3 FFPC rookie drafts ended during the 1st or 2nd week of May. I had withdrawal symptoms for a few weeks ;) and then remembered about these dinky little $5 and $10 Best Ball leagues at FFPC and thought it was easily worth that for the entertainment value of doing a couple of drafts in late May and now in early June. I’ll probably stop after this one….but if July feels barren and lonely, I might burn another $5 :)

I'll jump in the next one

Please PM me, tons of fun
Yeah I'm in for it. For $5 I'll do a bunch. Here let's get another SharkPool one started:

BestBall Slim 2 hour clock #97200 - 8 spots left ATM

I'm in but doesn't look like many FBGs. I'd like to do a heavy FBG draft and discuss here.
yeah was thinking the same thing... they're always available we just have to coordinate the timing better...but gluck on this one!

@joey Just seeing this now. I do lots of BBs, but don't typically bother with the $5s, but if you guys do another SP one I will jump in. TX
