I thought it would be interesting to have a couple of topics about the fantasy draft. This will be the first topic: Preparation. The next two topics will focus on During the Draft and Post Draft. Many of us have a lot of unique things that we do for the draft. This topic is aimed at what do YOU do to prepare for the draft.
I'm a Draft Dominator guy through and through, but I do a lot of tweaks to prepare it. So here's some of the items I do.
I'm a Draft Dominator guy through and through, but I do a lot of tweaks to prepare it. So here's some of the items I do.
- Set up the DD with the scoring for the year.
- Calculate Flex values based on my league's scoring rules.
- Look at the last three year's of league history and develop a custom ADP list.
- Using the Projections Dominator, I tweak the projections based on some of my "gut" tendencies as well as some data from other sources.
- Load the PD file into the DD.
- Tweak the baselines, as necessary.
- Then I edit the DD to reduce Strength of Schedule (as I believe Defenses are way too inconsistent to really add a lot of weight to the points)
- I also add weighting variables to the playoff weeks and where I have double headers in my league.
- Finally, I go through the Player Pool and set up tiers for the players.
