Just saw gufc's post thanks to message from Berty.

Unfortunately too late to change the league, so can't go to 16-team
If had been messaged or he had actually dropped out from the league could have done so but we're stuck with 18 now.

Will take over his team same as the other one, run them off ESPN projections each week so should maintain a level playing field

Do we automatically get taken into the draft at 10 once we're logged in?
*nevermind

Pudsy33

I can't see the draft?

Pudsy33

Great, can't draft via the app and get rice and Jackson. What a crock

madalig12

Meath, Kildare and scolari I think done some of the best drafting.

Rock Lesnar

Meath Eagles are very happy with their draft, got who i wanted apart from Victor Cruz and TY Hilton, who i shouldve bid more for considering i ended in a plus on spending, but sure cant get em all.

How'd everyone enjoy the auction?

Thought it went well myself. Happy with my roster, though would have loved to have gotten Amendola or Hilton, and maybe spent too much on Owen Daniels when could have gotten another TE for $1 or $2 later.
Made up for Amendola by getting loads of Pats late to fill out the roster (Thompkins, Edelman, Gostowski, NE DST)

Explanation of the Free Agent Waiver Wire:

Teams will have a specific budget ($100) with which they can make player acquisitions during the season, and all acquisitions will be processed in batches one or more times each week.
(Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday at 04:00 AM)

If a team wants to add a player, that team will secretly bid a certain amount (and select which player will be dropped if there is no free roster spot).

On the next waiver process day, the team with the highest amount bid will be awarded the player, and the bid will be subtracted from that team's budget.
In case of tie bid, goes to team with worse record.

You can submit $0 bids

If you think there will be bidding for a player you want, and you want a backup then you can place bids on multiple players and then order them by preference.
If you get your first preference, the rest are ignored.

When I went off line the CPU drafted Kendall wright, Kenny Britt and the titans D, safe to say that D won't be seeing much time

Don't think anyone realised you went offline ha.

Very happy with my draft apart from packers D, and paid a bit much for Larry Fitz, but getting flacco for 5 balanced it out!

adrian522

Happy with my draft, set out my budget as follows:

QB 10
RB1 75
RB2 40
WR1 35
WR2 10
TE 10
Flex 10
Def 1
K 1
Bn1 5
BN2 1
BN3 1
BN4 1
BN5 1

Didn't work out exactly like that but more or less got a strong starting team and went cheap on TE/QB and WR 2. Bench is pretty much all scrubs but we will see how the strategy works out over the season.

Actual draft was:

QB Ben Roethlisberger 5
RB Alfred Morris 74
RB Maurice Jones-Drew 45
WR Demaryius Thomas 39
WR T.Y. Hilton 16
TE Brandon Myers 4
FLEX Bernard Pierce 5
D/ST Falcons D/ST 1
K Kai Forbath 1
BE Vincent Brown 4
BE Cordarrelle Patterson 3
BE Mike Tolbert 1
BE Kendall Hunter 1
BE Alex Smith 1

Morris and Hilton are big weapons, Myers could go either way

Griffin for 40 is a steal considering someone paid 63 for Rodgers.....

That was me. Balances out possibly overpaying for McFadden. How much was Tom Brady?

Brady went for $36, good price. On Pudsy's team, which looks mental; $184 for three players (Brady, Rice, S.Jackson), one $6 player and the rest all $1

When you see some of the comparisons it's pretty nuts. A lot can depend on when exactly he was put up for bidding

You can see the results on site.

In the tab 'League' / 'More' / 'Draft Recap'

PerrinV2

Meant to bid on Brady when he was going but hit manual bid.....which does nothing,took Kap at 26$ instead

First ever fantasy draft and it was an absolute disaster.lesson learned il be working hard to avoid the wooden spoon

helimachoptor

my first auction one, lesson learned.. massive value in the late rounds!

madalig12

Compared to practice ones I did the early RB's went for crazy money, kinda panic bid just to get a player on the board, McCoy especially. The accidental bid for the WR made me miss some I wanted later but overall I'm satisfied but not too hopeful for the season ahead.

Berty44

It was unusual draft in that there were 18 teams as opposed to normal 10/12 in mock auction drafts so early players went for very high prices. That's what I think but I could be talking through my arse as I never did one before !!!

Rock Lesnar

I've just been on the league site and realised i was outbid for Victor Cruuuuuuuz by a team with no Owner........This is a Travesty :mad:

I demand that i be allowed to trade Donnie f'n Avery who i ended up with for Victor Cruz, Thank You in advance Rob

Big bad rob I just noticed both CPU teams are in same conference . Shouldn't we spilt them up into different ones if possible ?

That makes sense so. We were all wondering how he had managed to pick a half decent team with his limited knowledge !
