It just wouldn't work with a slow style draft

This.

Just doesn’t apply to this style league. Never gonna get a live draft to happen, I imagine

Yep. It's hard enough to get 10 owners that live in the same state for live draft. We may have 12 owners here in 12 different states.

You can do auctions remotely. It doesn't need to be in person. Everyone would need to coalesce online in the same brief window of a few hours, but there are plenty of online auction software options available for fantasy drafts, including on Sleeper.

That said, I don't disagree that getting 12 of us together within any singular time window - even remotely - would probably be less than possible. So I'd settle for 3rd-round reversal next year instead, if we must continue the antiquated snake draft style.

Auctions are for whiners.

You spelled winners wrong.

Yeah it's hard enough getting 12 of us that know each other to book the same night for 3 hours. At least we are all in the same time zone except for one guy. With only 24 or 36 owners in these leagues, would be pretty hard to find 12 available on the same night without timezone or family conflicts. But it is the most fun draft process I've ever done and would do it here if it did work.

That's odd, I thought I wrote whiners but it auto-corrected to whiners.

Do we do this remotely thing with that Internet thing. Ha ha. I kid. I kid. Ya, it was more a time zone issue.

 

[Chaka]

Auction could be fun but yeah, I doubt we would be able to get the group together for a zoom.

I was told we’d be drafting from newspaper box score stats.

I’m out…

 

[Instinctive]

FWIW you can totally do auction slow style. You just put like an 8-hour clock on every bid. Zealots used to do that.

Those were the days. Pre Internet days we had to wait for commish to actually add up stats from the news papers. Smh. Shout out to myfantasyleague.com. They were my first introduction to online leagues. Late 90s I think.

Im old enough to remember using FFLM, which was Mike Hall's software before they created MFL.

I assume you mean every player, not individual bid? Even then, with turning the clock off at night, you need to allow for only about 1.5 players drafted per day. By that math, we'd have to start about mid-April.

I'm in!

I feel like there may have been a couple players concurrently. But I'm not 100% sure. It was a long time ago. But it was. 53-man roster 12 team dynasty IDP I think. Maybe it was 4 hours not 8?

 

[joey]

This thread needs to be above League Two.

 

[joey]

We’ve been unpinned (for good reason, since Joe Bryant made a single thread that links to all 3 FBG SharkPool Home Leagues) but I couldn’t live with the idea that UNO is on page 3

I’ll set up a sign up sheet so we can establish a rotational schedule where each League Uno member bumps this thread to keep it at the top each day

I think once the season starts we have enough regular posters in the league it should stay on the front page. I can't wait to get a championship icon next to my name. It's inevitable. My Soldiers will march. Onward.

 

[Chaka]

Don't fret little buddy You can always send me an offer for #4.

 

[FarFromHome]

Don't fret. You can always send me an offer for #4.

Got me thinking about trading. Trading option still unavailable currently. Smh. I was moments away from trading away first pick. It's how I roll. Onward.

I get why draft trades for specific picks is not an option. But why not allow trading of entire slots?... Sometimes two guys like one another's overall positions and/or simply like to wheel deals. For those dudes, I say let 'em rip.

Yep. I'd move back from pick 1 to 4 for a little something down the road. Allow that guy at pick 4ish to move up and get that foundational pick to build team around. I'm here to help.

I value pick 4 more than pick one, apparently so do you so ...

The problem is that at pick 4 your not gonna get the guy that connects with you on a deeper emotional level. A spiritual connecttion. That's what u need right now. You need to find yourself. Pick 1 helps you find yourself. It's math. Let me help you.

I appreciate you, Doc. But there are six guys that make my heart flutter, so you can make it worth my while or I'm content to hold.

 

[FarFromHome]

You guys don't understand. Each of you have one player that your able to connect with. Your tsaheylu player. It's one. Not 6. One

 

[LawFitz]

If anyone wants to move down to pick 10, LMK. Not looking to sweeten pots. If we are to trade, we trade all picks from each slot. Sweet. Simple. No Shanahanigans.

I'm with Hansel.

I see we’re not gonna have a problem keep this thread on page 1 if today is any indication. It’s almost August!!!!

***cough cough***

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Not going to be able to draft without my FBG magazine. Really hoping it arrives in time.

There was a time I didn't draft without a magazine. It was part of the process. Bring magazine to drunken barbecue for live draft. It's been decades since I bought one though. Can you photocopy yours when u get it, save it as one pdf file and then email it to me? Mahalo

Just to keep my fans updated. At pick 1 I've now decided to take Chase. I know. Not earth shattering, because every mind on the Internet says he is the guy. I was leaning Bijan. The primary reason I'm leaning Chase now is that he is gonna have 60 more receptions over Bijan. Full ppr that's 60 points before we start adding numbers. That's a 10 TD head start. Onward.

Your consolidation prize of Jameson Williams at pick 11 should hold.

No way he last til 11. I assume “Above ADP” (aka @LawFitz) will snipe him at 10.

Stop sniping my guys!

Chase Brown is a hecuva pick. I applaud your choice.

So, I assume the consensus top 5 is, in no particular order is Ashton Jeanty, Brock Bowers, Geno Smith, Jakobi Myers & Seabass. That sound about right?

One of many Above ADP targets this year. There will be no value shopping here. Pay up if you want to get up.

Damn. I forgot this league is team defenses. Scratch Chase at pick 1. I need to make a few adjustments.

Page 4 with the draft only 2.5 days away?!?!
Let’s show these other knock off Home Leagues how it’s done.

 

[LawFitz]

@Chaka love for Jeanty may be tested now... Will he be able to shake off the stink of last night? Won't get another looksee prior to pick 4, unfortunately.
