If it's for the JV league say if we need another then let me know as I may have someone interested if no other F13 person wants in. If that is for the main league then I know MrHat and me are waiting, i

I notice in the JV league that it's set at auto-pick draft. Is this just a placeholder setting until you confirm the actual draft date, or are we really going with auto pick? If this is covered somewhere else in the thread sorry but with the first preseason game tonight it reminded me to ask.

I think it means that if you are not online to pick, it will draft for you based on the default rankings, or your own player rankings. I may be wrong.

Correct. I warn everyone NOT to rely on autodraft, but if you have to, pre-rank your players. I would even suggest removing all kickers from your pre-ranking or the auto-draft WILL pick 2. |

I reset the date, it may or may not have been there in the first place. I don't know. Yahoo really fucked with existing leagues this year.
Murgos invited, Canton Redbirds kicked as they hadn't accepted the invitation yet. I think I still have spots for 2 people or we can stick with 10.

Oops, sorry about that. Forgot about this, but go ahead and leave me kicked - I'm a bit distracted right now. That said, this did remind me to go ahead and get pickem renewed for the season. http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/pickem/group/14842/password bat |

Typically 30 mins before the draft starts. |

It's always been 30 minutes, yeah. I think that's pretty standard for the other "main" leagues, as well.
Anyway, if you click on League Notes, there's a bunch of information. Just break your targeted players into tiers and pay attention to best values. Mock drafts do well, but 12 because you want to account for draft position isn't going to get you too far.

Don't waste your time. The draft depends heavily on the people involved and the scoring system. All the mock drafts in the world won't help. Make a list of players by positional value and go from there. Handcuffing is also going to be valuable this year with all of the two back backfields. |

We need to make sure we broadcast on here on Draft day so people don't skip it. That's how Haemish ended up with 2 Kickers, Eli, and Alex Smith.  |

Just a reminder to everyone to check the scoring matrix. There are some significant variances to the standard format so if you are reading FFL experts, keep in mind that their rankings are usually geared to the standard scoring format.

The only difference is going to be PPR vs not. .5 pts per yards vs 1 pts per yard doesn't really change rankings.

It makes possession receivers more valuable. |

I guess that would mainly alter deep drafts, but I'm not really sure how much of an impact something like that would affect the basic rankings. PPR will definitely shake things up. None of this is to say that people shouldn't pay attention to the scoring matrix and what "settings" "experts" use for their rankings. |

Following the advice and rankings lists of 'experts' will only get you to the middle of a league. To win you need luck (i.e. injuries), good FA acquisitions, and an ability to spot sleepers. I find that wins in fantasy leagues are made in the FA market and late rounds of the draft.

That wasn't the question. I don't disagree. |

PPR is much better for a slot receiver or TE than a downfield receiver, unless the wideout is on a team lacking depth at the position. PPR really makes you look at the offensive scheme of the team more. Do they rely on timing plays (NE/Dallas) or are they more prone to stretch the field.
Of course, there are always exceptions.

At least for the "varsity" league the differences are as follows: QB TDs = 6pts vs 4pts standard QB passing yds = 20/pt vs 25/pt standard QB INTs = -2 vs -1 standard PPR = 0.5 vs 0 standard Then some stretching of the DEF points to reward and penalize extreme outcomes more. |

I don't see how those would affect basic rankings, aside from PPR.

6 pt thrown TD's have a significant effect on draft choice. |

6 pt thrown TD's have a significant effect on draft choice. Raw draft order, inclusive of all positions? Then I don't disagree, but it would be interesting to see just how much changing from 6 to 4 would change the points from last year. But again, of this stuff could really matter in the deeper rounds, but that's almost "whatever" when it comes to QB. Changes to the WR/RB stuff is much more impactfull. |

But again, of this stuff could really matter in the deeper rounds, but that's almost "whatever" when it comes to QB. Changes to the WR/RB stuff is much more impactfull. Manning threw 37TDs, 4659yds and 11 INTs last year. Standard scoring effect: +148+186-11=323pts F13 league scoring: +222+233-22=433pts It matters but it is not huge. It looks less important if you divide that 110pts over the season, but we all know that most good QBs have the occasional huge week so the impact in one week could be 15pts or more. I don't know why I am spelling it out for you fuckers. Only makes it harder for me! |
