I think I may have everyone's emails but I need to go through them and add them to the sheet. I plan to submit the excel by eod if I can.
We're finally having a legitimate WR run. About to fall off a value cliff I think after the next few WRs go off. Then there's gonna be a TE run. And a run on scrub veteran RBs and rookie RBs. Possibly also scrubs.
I'm terrible at handles and team names. I do know sharks are older than trees and that is pretty amazing. Some sharks, like great whites, have to swim forward continuously throughout their life in order to take in oxygen. Jaws traumatized me when I was 7. My parents thought it would be cute to let me watch it. It didn't work out. Despite that I'm a pisces and I'm like a fish in water. I love pools, lakes and streams and love to swim, especially on my back while *looking* forward. I like to call that floating. That is the end of my list about sharks and pools. They're apex predators. What happens when you put 12 of them in the same enclosed space? What would be a good name for *that*? Chum Factory?
That's not going to be the league name but I do call dibs on it being mine. Trade me some BB dollars and we'll talk. lol
All my leagues are like this, I was not even aware they could be named, just thought they were all labeled with the entry fee followed by the number.
Why would you hope that?@barackdhousewent on a bit of a stream of consciousness run there for a bit. Hope the meds have worn off a bit, man
Sharkpool name is fine with me. Anything is better than my current FFPC league called “$77 Dynasty #49”.
I'm 99% sure I know the answer but just in case anyone was wondering, I think the draft order that is in the system right now is just a placeholder until the 12th team fills. Then an official draw happens and an email gets sent out.
I don't see that.
To me because it's officially "started" there's no reason we shouldn't be allowed to trade. If you make a trade you regret later on come draft time, it's your fault no? Just like any other trade.
Yeah for sure. I still think the premise was to wait though. Would like to let everyone have their voice on it first is my main thing. I'll go either way.
That's the way I see it too. If people want to make trades now they can. I won't be making any trades until after the NFL draft but that's just me. If some of you guys want to, I don't see any reason not to allow it.
Agreed.
I was thinking that, too.eeling that general FFPC strategy and chatter in this thread might reduce due to the fact that 12 of us are now in a league together
ETA: Maybe we can move the league-specific chatter over the the league's FFPC's chat board instead of using this thread? 2cents
This seems like a great move. These next-tier QBs seem to just consistently rise as we approach the NFL draft. Both in NFL terms and fantasy terms. I think the chances are very high that Jones is drafted to be the QB going forward for some team, and I'd put the odds on favorite of it happening in the NFL's first round at this point.
I've assumed it was foregone conclusion he's a first round pick for a few weeks. With the QB landscape I just can't see how he could get past NE, Chicago and WFT in mid round one.
I've bought three orphans. All were before Dynasty Depot, so I just bought off FFPC. I look for a balance. Gotta have at least one top-10 RB. Preferably deep at WR and/or TE, so I have depth to make trades. If superflex, at least two startable QBs. It needs to have its first-rounder in the upcoming draft. You can typically look at the draft picks and tell where the team finished (if a bunch of the picks are the same spot in each round -- 5.09, 6.09, 7.09 -- then the team likely finished fourth). If you know that the team made the playoffs, then you at least know it's not a total loser. It's common to find good teams. Some owners just want to take their winnings and cash out. I tend to avoid the discounted teams. I'm not into multi-year rebuilds when I'm paying $250 or more each season.
I can't narrow it down to a specific formula or something. Looking for premium assets (ones I like) and rising assets (that I like but maybe the market is lower on) and perhaps some assets that if nothing else I think they hold trade value. I tend to be a "my guy" kind of drafter and manager, meaning there may be some names that I feel I can build around even with not much else around. I bought a couple teams with CMC because I figured it would be fun since I have never had him in dynasty. Fun is part of it. I like the challenge of turning a team around. Each had a few other solid assets where I was like all I gotta do is trim around the edges, make some good moves and run my typical FFPC approach(es) and this given team should be a playoff team in year 1. But maybe I bought it for $99.
I'm against that but mostly because this thing could quickly devolve over time into a classified ads thread. There is actually an FBG forum for buying/selling teams and looking for leagues and such. That is just my opinion though. I think it is good if we talk about examples and the process, especially as it relates to the notion of rebuilding, competing now, etc.
Yeah I see a lot of teams with pick X.09 listed. Good teams, perhaps 1 or 2 seeds, that made the finals but didn't cash at all. That can be very frustrating.
Has this rule always been in place for standard SF leagues? I drafted two SF teams last year that both came away with four QBs each, but they were both best ball leagues, which don't seem to have that rule (makes sense).
I believe best ball does actually have different rules. I know they go 10 round in the rookie draft for example. And I don't know about prior to last year - those were my first FFPC SF startups.
How is yours going? All done yet?
I did another of these this morning from the 10 spot. Decided to double down on this notion that we might need to really target the RBs early this year in redraft. So I went basically zero-WR here. Specifically RB/RB/RB/RB/QB/TE followed by 5 WRs:
