And with all due respect to everyone in the league who may doubt the legitimacy of the order, honestly I'd have little to be at to go fixing a fantasy draft order. Anyone who's been in a league with me before will know i play serious, but i don't live and die by my fantasy teams.

I can say knowing you for as long as I have you did a fair shake on the draft order. Just for clarification my thought process is the overall process of it.

GM is a thankless job a lot of the time so thanks for organizing everything niall1811

I dont understand how that randomizer picked my team Lambmuncher at 15 but I drafted 12? Happy with my team regardless but I do think just letting the website decide the order is the way to go

We need some way of making it more transparent, such as a site that randomizes the draft order and then automatically emails people so that you cant manipulate it without others knowing.

Maybe have a GM of a different league (or any independent poster that's been around a while) use random.org to determine the order.

Umm, is that not a serious problem?

TOss Sweep

NFL.com had problems over the weekend and it apparently messed up a lot of settings. Nobody could draft Sunday night EST in the US and the same Monday for 2 hours in the evening. This apparently reset leagues everywhere but they are denying it as usual

Mr. Guappa

I missed the draft last night. Tried to log in before the start, but I was using a new laptop and couldn't remember my password. Requested a new password but that still hasn't come through, despite numerous attempts. Could someone let me know what assortment of misfits I ended up with? Team is Oh Look An Eagle.

A feckin’ draw to start, Jared Cook saved me with 180 yards after Matt Stafford put himself on the trading block. I’d have won if I started Sam Darnold instead

Was that you - 101.94 v 101.94?

Never seen a draw down to two decimal points before.

Xavi6

It was yeah. Cook had a reception with 35 seconds left in the Raiders game, I was watching MNF at work shouting at my phone for him to get extra yards after the catch. Bastard fell one short of giving me the win.

That was against me. To be fair you can't really be complaining after getting 180 yards from Cook, only got 680 in the whole of last season!! GG dude!!

Yeah, but if Deccy had started Rivers instead of Garoppolo, he'd have won.
TBF I don't think anyone could have predicted what happened to Stafford last night & I doubt anyone would have started Darnold in his place given the choice.

On another note, strange that the league standings haven't been updated yet. Must be confused as to how to deal with a tie:pac:

I had it chalked down as a loss after the Lions game but Cook going for over 100 in the first half kept it interesting to the end! Can’t complain about breaking the 100 point barrier anyway.

Just noticed there seems to be a problem with the schedule. The division 4 fixtures are exactly the same for week 2 as they were this week.

Niall you might want to fix that if possible

And Division 4 play an extra game

Lionbacker

Just had a closer look there. The whole schedule seems messed up. I have to play "The Nastys" 3 times. Quite a few of the final games which are meant to be divisional are not. Division 1 seems grand, but there's a few teams in other divisions including all of the teams in division 4 with scheduling inconsistencies.

Looks like something went wrong when that fixture list was created.

TOss Sweep

Thing is though I can still edit things and when I go to the schedule page I see this



No extra matchups

Strange. From what I can see there are 8 teams with extra games. Three teams from divisions 3 & 4 and a two teams from division 2.
Might be an idea to redo the whole schedule altogether.

All this tinkering is why I am against manual changes. Every year you read issues in threads about settings being wrong in divisions

TOss Sweep

The fixtures are set the way they should be. Week 14 is the Playoff as the teams stand at this moment. Week 14 will change from week to week.

Yeah but we still have the situation where the teams in division 4 are effectively having rematches this week. Lambmuncher6 vs Donottar dare devils & West coast coolers vs Dak to the future already played each other in week 1.

TOss Sweep

Fixed it Week 1 and week 2 was wrong for those 4 teams they were reversed. Those 4 teams now have reversed schedules for both those weeks accorinding to Adrian guide above. I will got through the rest again. Working and trying to look at that was my bad Took a few attempts to see what was wrong when you edit it.

Good spot Lionbacker

niall1811

Sorry I'm abroad at the moment I haven't been on since Sunday, thanks for the fix TO.

No idea what happened with all the settings, I pulled it up to double check after setting them and everything was set as per the schedule sent. NFL.com is just having fun with us this year

GoldFour4

Missing the draft this year combined with having Bell has just screwed me this year. Division 1 awaits!

Lionbacker

So, how did everyone get on?
For the second consecutive year, I've finished 7th at the conclusion of the regular season, just missing out on the playoffs on head to head tiebreakers again, despite sweeping my division 6-0:(

Ah well, on to next year (after the consolation bracket playoff) & good luck to those who made the championship playoffs.

Dodge

Started the season 2-2 but went 7-2 the last 9 weeks (including losing by 0.2 after that crazy Chiefs Rams game led to Josh Reynolds going crazy against me) to make the play offs in third spot

Picking in 15th I hit on my first rounder (McCaffrey) but next 5 picks ranged from not bad to ugh. Adrian Peterson at 111 was a steal and Matt Ryan at 146 gave me great value

I say it every year but my first goal in this league is to avoid relegation, then make the play offs. Now to try and win the thing

Really strong league lads. Not many trades but our waiver wire is never, ever soft

Xavi6

The preseason predictor had me down to finish 0-13 so I stuck it to them with a 5-7-1 and managed to avoid relegation. Still disappointing overall but that's the risk with having to auto draft.

Having to ride with Stafford at QB for much of the year didn't help either but I enjoy the strength of the league which means you can't just grab a quality free agent on a whim.

I like the flex option.
