FFPC dynasty and redraft thread (1 Viewer)

[efactor]

Signed up for my first FFPC dynasty league yesterday. Got an email at 4:44 MT that the draft order was out. Got a trade offer at 4:47. This is going to be fun

Which pick did you get?

4.

Despite playing dynasty and keeper leagues forever, this is my first time ever doing an initial draft. Aways have taken an orphan team or been part of a 2-3 team dispersal draft. Looking forward to starting on an equal playing field.

Have played FFPC and before that WCOFF, but always redraft. Should be fun.

As much as I’ve done startups recently (3 in the past 8-9 years) and enjoy the startup draft SO MUCH…
I’m just a freakin chicken when it comes to big trades during the start up draft. Especially the “this year for next year’s rookie picks” kind of moves. I have no gut instinct that what I’m being offered seems fair or not so I just fall back to “bird in the hand” and stand pat and pick the players that I have been targeting each round. Sure I’ll do smaller ‘pick swap, move up a little to get “my guy” in a certain round’ kind of trades. I guess I’m more of a Win Now kind of player and don’t wanna plan over the first 2-3 years to eventually field a dominant team.

Yeah, I’m more of a win now player too and his offer was geared towards that.

His 6.07 for my 12.09 and my 2026 1st rounder. Would like to let it sit until I see who’s still on the board at 6.07 but doubt that would happen.

FFPC draft rooms are open so you can see how they have the players ranked with the free agents mixed in.

Wow I just noticed Pearsall is available in one of my 1qb $500 leagues.

 

[Raging weasel]

If you scroll down far enough you can find Gronk and Antonio Brown too

What's funny is I did an FFPC Triflex startup almost exactly 3 years ago where I made nearly the same trade: my 6.04 and future R3 for his 13.08 and future R1.

Ha. After a couple counters we are now at 6.07 and a 2026 4th for 18.09 and 2026 1st.

Almost there.

 

[barackdhouse]

Currently in the 4th round of a TriFlex startup. I'm on deck at 4.07.

Made a small trade to move from 1.06 to 1.05 to not get sniped on Bowers.
2.07 took McBride and then traded him to the 2.08 because I sniped him. Got 3.05 and their future 1st and a late swap.
3.05 took JSN
3.06 took Achane yeah IDK just thinking he might have one or two league winning type seasons in him it's a steep price but didn't love the WRs enough. Would have taken McConkey but got sniped.

I have several choices I like here being on deck but just thought I'd share because hey it's April.

FWIW Jeanty came off at 2.06 as RB3 Hampton at 4.05 as RB7 they're the only two rookies so far.

Love it. Keep the updates coming every few rounds please. I find them interesting…at least living vicariously thru your start up draft

I just took Tyler Warren at 4.07 as TE4

and then McMillan came off at 4.08 as WR19 (he was going to be my other choice if Warren went first)

Hunter came off at 4.11 as WR20, Henderson at 4.12 as RB10.

Then I spent *my* future 2026 1st and 3rd to buy 5.04 and I took Jonathan Taylor.

At 5.06 I tried to make adeal to move back or out (and came close) but ultimately stayed put and took my first QB with Jared Goff.

So thru 5 1/2 rounds I have:

Goff
Achane, Taylor
JSN
Bowers, Warren

and someone else's future 1st whose outlook I don't hate but I can see faltering.

Egbuka went 6.03 as WR24, then Cam Ward as QB21 at 6.05

at 6.07 I took Jameson Williams (was torn over him and Flowers)

Judkins went 6.08 as RB16
Loveland 6.09 as TE7
Golden 7.04 as WR30
Kaleb Johnson at 7.09 as RB19
Burden III at 7.12 as WR35

I traded my 7.06 and 11.07 for a future 1st and 3rd (they took Chase Brown)

Milroe went at 8.05 as QB24
Sanders at 8.06 as QB25

I took Tua at 8.07 as QB26

Skattebo 9.01 RB22
Dart 9.04 QB28
Higgins 9.05 WR41

I took Tre Harris 9.06 WR42 (@Soulfly3 aren't you a big fan?)
Fannin 10.05 TE13

I took Stafford 10.07 QB30
Gidden 10.06 RB27

*reminder in FFPC startups no owner is allowed to come out of the startup with more than 3 QBs. Some years I have waited until the 20th round to pick my 3rd because it became mathematically impossible for my opponents to snipe me

I don't have a pick again until the 12th and it's just nothing too exciting from there that I can see, so I'll post the finished rookie list and my roster when it's done but here I am thru 10 rounds:

Goff, Stafford, Tua
Achane, Taylor
JSN, Jameson, Harris
Bowers, Warren

I have two opponents' 2026 1st rounders (& one of their 3rds) and my own 2026 2nd rounder. I don't hate either roster of those two but I can see both faltering for sure. Triflex is start 3 WR and so I feel that is just a glaring weakness big time for what I have built. But I also really like what I've done and I'll likely find some good vets that are still on the board. We'll see.

Ok here is my final roster with updates and round# in bold italics

Goff, Stafford, Tua
Achane, Taylor, Bigsby 13, R White 15, Tahj Brooks 17, Tucker 20
JSN, Jameson, Harris, Legette 12, Doubs 16, Atwell 18
Bowers, Warren, Theo Johnson 18, Mayer 19

2026 1st x2 from others
2026 2nd (mine)
2026 3rd (tied to one of those 1sts)

THERE WERE ONLY 6 TOTAL TRADES IN THIS ENTIRE STARTUP AND I WAS INVOLVED IN 4 OF THEM - NOT STOKED ABOUT THAT

In the TriFlex startup I just completed (a few minutes ago) I gave 7.06 & 11.06 for my trade partner's 2026 1st & 3rd FWIW

I also earlier gave my own 2026 1st & 3rd to buy 5.04, again FWIW

We ended up doing my 20.09 and 2026 1st for 6.07 and 4th next year. Figured I would be petty and counter the 18.09. I like the players available in the pick 67 range.

[FreeBaGeL]

I just started a TriFlex startup draft. My first time in that format.

My first inclination when looking at ADP is that QBs are overvalued in startup drafts. QBs already have less value in SF in FFPC than traditional SF leagues, but especially in TriFlex where there are so many other positional starter spots to fill and the SF spot gets watered down a bit.

I noticed when looking at ADP that most teams have at least 2 QBs by the 4th round, and that QB value in startups doesn't appear to be depressed at all compared to regular FFPC SF leagues.

That's the inefficiency I'm going to attempt to target, planning to come out with 0-1 QBs in the first 4 rounds and then hope to land Goff in the 5th or Dak in the 7th.

I've gotten very lucky early on. I drew 1.01 and wanted to trade down into the 1.06-1.10 range. I offered all of those guys 1.01/future 2nd for 1.0x/future 1st. They all declined but one guy countered with....

1.01
11.01

for

1.09
3.09

Which was an interesting counter to me, because 3.09 startup is worth quite a bit more than 2026 future 1st (which is generally valued around a startup 6th) so I don't know why he would send that counter instead of just taking the original offer of a future 1st. But I happily snap accepted. Now with 1.09, 2.12, 3.01, 3.09 in the first three rounds I have a lot of options. I'm considering packaging both 3rds to get an additional pick in the 1st (plus a 7th or so) and come out of round 1 with two studs. Also consider moving back with one of the 3rds into the 5th/6th while picking up a future 1st for the move back.

Will keep updating. It's been a few years since my last startup and I'd forgotten how fun these things are. It's a constant battle between doing more incredibly fun startups and knowing I'll have to spread my attention and manage yet another team's waiver wire, etc, lol!

That was a great move, and really puzzling why someone would rather do that than trade a future 1st.

I absolutely feel that QBs are overvalued in this format and that you are much better off building out other positions and addressing QB in the middle rounds. (I'm sure you know this, but, assuming this is head to head and not best ball, each team can have a max of 3 QBs on their roster during the draft.)

I have found that only a few teams are ever willing to trade their future 1st, but usually a majority of teams are willing to deal their future 2nd. In Triflex, especially, there are almost always quality future starters available in the second round of rookie drafts, so having multiple shots is a great way to build a team, and you can still have a win-now team (which would be harder if you were trading for future 1sts). Also, when trading back to pick up a future 2nd, you don't have to move back as far as you would when trading for a future 1st, and you can do so multiple times. The difficulty, of course, is that some people will overvalue that future 2nd, making it more difficult to trade back, but that's the case with any asset.

Triflex is easily my favorite format. Good luck!

Yeah I agree re:QB value. You can scroll up and find the play by play of a TriFlex startup I just did 2 weeks ago. I went with the same strategy and ended up with Goff as my first QB at 5.06. Dak went 5.12 FWIW

 

[Raging weasel]

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.

And then you look back a few years later and see that that team is still at the bottom of the rankings every year and realize: no, it’s not some genius strategy. They just stink as a dynasty owner.

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

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Continuing on the Triflex startup, the biggest surprise to me has been how few RBs have been taken since FFPC is typically so RB heavy. We are through 33 picks and only 4 RBs taken, compared to 15 WRs. I guess having to start 3 WRs changes a lot of people's approach.

Gibbs fell all the way to 2.09, where I overpaid a bit to trade up from 2.12 to grab him and pair with Bijan (who I got at 1.09). I couldn't pass on the opportunity to pair the #1 and #2 dynasty RBs, both still very young. Though now in the late 3rd, seeing all the RB talent on the board and the dearth of talent at some of the other spots, maybe regretting that approach a little.

At 3.09 I managed to grab Garrett Wilson as the last guy even resembling a WR1 still on the board. Even Travis Hunter (who I was targeting in this range) is gone.

So far...

RB: Bijan, Gibbs
WR: Wilson

I have picks 4.04, 4.12, 5.01 coming up.

People are hot and heavy for 2026 1st's in this league and I actually have an offer sitting in my inbox of 4.07 startup pick for my 2026 1st, which is way above the normal value of those 1sts so actually has me considering it even though my plan was to not move my 1st. But at that point guys like Judkins, Henderson, Tet, Cam might all still be on the board which is basically like moving a 2026 1st for the 1.03 - 1.05 rookie pick this year, which I think most people would jump at if offered in an established league.

When another couple rounds go by and some people realize there are still players they would be willing to move a 1st for, you could get another 1st back at a profit. If you take the deal now, you might later get something like a 1st for a 6th in a while. I think I moved my 7th and 11th for a future 1st two weeks ago, for example.

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

Wow, what a tale of two extremes!
First team is terrible ,did they trade all their good players and future picks for Lamb?

Second team may be best I've ever seen, especially once they draft a bunch of RBs this year.

I actually have an offer sitting in my inbox of 4.07 startup pick for my 2026 1st

If it's still in your inbox, I would absolutely take that.

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.

Yeah it's pretty horrible. Looking back I see that this bad team actually made the playoffs last year and finished in 4th overall. They really weren't in terrible shape and then orphaned the team. The new owner has not done well in the last two months.

Here is what it looked like when they took 4th just a couple months ago:

Daniels, Jones
Swift, Najee, Ford, Bigsby, Estime, I Davis, Mitchell
Chase, Jauan Jennings, Mooney, Nuk, Boutte, Shepard, Mike Williams, Kirk, MVS
Ertz, Freiermuth, Calcaterra

March 2024 - They moved their 2025 3rd and 4th that are now 3.09 and 4.09 to me for Ford, McLaughlin
May 2024 - They moved McLaughlin for Tracy and Hull. Big win on paper
Aug 2024 - They moved their 2025 2nd that is now 2.09 (and 5th and 6th) to me for Nuk, Estime and Bigsby

but then they took 4th, abandoned the team and the new owner as of the beginning of last month March 2025 has made... *checks notes*... 29 trades since then and you saw the end result posted above. That is a trade completed in just less than every 2 days. But wanna see the nasty trades that got them here? It's grosser than gross. Only the last 3 are post-NFL draft.

#1 - They sent me back Tank Bigsby for my Tank Dell
#2 - They gave Swift they got 3.07 & 6.06
#3 - They gave Najee they got a 2026 2nd
#4 - They gave Jennings they got a 2026 2nd
#5 - They gave Cousins they got 4.02
#6 - They gave Daniel Jones they got 4.04
#7 - They gave Monty & 4.02 they got Benson & 3.02
#8 - They gave Kirk got 2026 3rd
#9 - They gave Calcaterra got Juwon Johnson
#10 - They gave 3.02, 3.07, and 2026 3rd - they got Warren & 4.02
#11 - They gave 1.09 and two future 2nds and pulled AJ Brown away from that monster squad posted up above
#12 - They gave Warren, Mooney and Benson for a 2026 1st
#13 - They gave me 3.09 and I gave them Ford (guess I picked him up again somehow)
#14 - They gave Jamaar Chase and they got 1.02, 1.12, future 2nd and Jakobi Meyers again it's foul
#15 - They gave Juwon got 7th
#16 - They gave Tillman got 4.05
#17 - They gave Mitchell got 7.02
#18 - They gave AJ Brown, 1.02, and the future 2nd from the Jennings deal #4 and they got 1.01, D Smith and Shaheed
#19 - They gave D Smith and got 1.08 and Diggs
#20 - They gave J Meyers and 4.05 and got 3.02, 6.07, Coker and Lloyd
#21 - They gave the loaded squad up above 1.08, someone else's future 1st (from deal #12) and 2nd (from the Chase deal #14) and they got Stroud
#22 - They gave Diggs and 3.09 and they got 2.11
#23 - They gave 1.12, 2.11, 3.02 and got Kyren Williams
#24 - They gave Freiermuth and 4.04 and got 2.10 and 5.07
#25 - They gave Kyren, 2.10 and their own future 1st and they got Lamb and a future 2nd.
#26 - They gave a future 3rd, 4.02 & 5.07 and they got Downs
#27 - They gave Downs and got 2.06
#28 - They gave a future 2nd and got Legette
#29 - They gave Legette and got 3.09 (this was the same day as #28)

I think @phandango and I have the same new owner in one of our leagues. Took over an orphan and made a ton of head scratching moves.

I should know this by now…

Is there a switch in the draft room that lets me autodraft?

I have the 1.1 pick in our SharkPool league and I’m pretty confident I know who I’m taking there but I’m on the west coast and I’d hate to let the draft sit there for a couple of hours because I’m sleeping in on a Saturday morning.

Very considerate of you and lord knows we need it because some people like to take forever in this league but I don't think you can do that until the draft starts.

Which I did not think was the case, felt like I could remember doing it before, but this came up last week for me when I drew 1.1 in a redraft league that filled late at night and did not start until the next morning. I searched for about 10 minutes to try and find a way to autodraft so I would not hold things up but as far as I know the feature to do that, which is located right under where the clock is ticking down, does not present itself until the draft starts.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah. There's usually an autodraft button right under the clock. I don't see it there now though. Maybe it doesn't show up until the draft starts.

I'm on the west coast and I'm not an early riser, but the draft starts at 8 am our time. Set an alarm and go back to sleep, you baby!

I'm on the west coast too. The only draft where I have the #1 pick is an early draft (5:20am our time). I have no problem getting up at that time though. With 17 FFPC rookie drafts, I'm like a kid on Christmas morning.

@joey what if you trade me the 1.01 as an administrative type trade for like my future 7th or whatever and then I make the pick since I get up crazy early (and also live on the west coast) and then immediately trade the pieces back and the draft rolls on? Then you can get your beauty sleep and I can fondle the 1.01 for a couple minutes.

I'm mostly kidding I don't care how long the thing takes I have no picks this year anyway! it would have to be more than my future 7th so FFPC would execute the trade but honestly I don't think you can go on autodraft until the draft begins. So if your beauty sleep is more important than being polite, then just say **** em they can wait. If you wanna be polite, trade me your 1.01 for fun. Hehe.

Don't mind me I'm just going to be the running peanut gallery as this draft unfolds.

I have a draft going in another FFPC league right now and right under the clock there is a toggle for autodraft for On, Off, or "One Pick".

I guess doesn't help much if it doesn't show up until the draft starts though. I guess we'll all have to wait for you to pick Shadeur manually.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

I actually have an offer sitting in my inbox of 4.07 startup pick for my 2026 1st

If it's still in your inbox, I would absolutely take that.

Yeah the whole offer was actually 4.07 and 13.10 for my 2026 1st and 2nd (but I have an extra 2nd from an earlier trade that was thrown in).

I did go ahead and accept. I now have 4.04, 4.07, 4.12, 5.01 coming up in the next 11 picks.

With those picks I took...

4.04 - Bucky Irving
4.07 - Cam Ward
4.12 - Quinshon Judkins
5.01 - Jared Goff

So through essentially 4 rounds (plus 1st pick of round 5), sitting on...

Goff, Ward
Bijan, Gibbs, Bucky, Judkins
Wilson

Yes there usually is, and you can even set it to shut off after 1 pick.
However, I'm not sure where it is.
If you know you won't be able to make the pick for a while, post your pick in the chat and email the commish. They will make the pick for you

 

[joey]

Thanks for the help and the “help” as well, everyone

If I’m on the clock for 30 minutes or more on Saturday morning, it’s cuz life is complicated and I’m exhausted and if I can sleep til 830am on a Saturday morning, then I will. No alarm for me. Deal with it.

All this said… I’ve now guaranteed that I’ll need to get up to use the bathroom at 7am and be bored out of my mind waiting for the draft for start.

If nothing else, this little burst of posting has helped our little SharkPool FFPC get into mid season form with the taunting, so…mission accomplished!

 

[ghostguy123]

Make sure to announce you're open to trading the pick....

[Raging weasel]

My 2 drafts started 3 hours apart. The one that started first has 3.04 OTC and the other still stuck at 1.08 after I made my 1.07 pick last night with 3 hours to go until the pause.

 

[phandango]

I've got a league that started at 10 am ET yesterday. One team had the 3, 5 and 6. He posted he's willing to trade out. He waited 7 hours on the 1.03 before picking. At 1.05, he waited almost 14 hours (including overnight stoppage) before picking, and now he's sitting at the 1.06. So we've had 5 picks in 26 hours (and counting).

[FreeBaGeL]

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.
