Here goes. Long time lurker, first time poster...
1. I've got the #1 pick in my 18 (1) person Draft League.
2. Format is snake, structure is 2-3-1-2 with an 8 deep bench.
3. This means that, though I get the #1 pick, I get nothing again until picks 37+38 I think (maths not my strong suit).
4. Each time I pick, I'll get a double pick (2 adjacent picks), as I'm at one 'end' of the format (as will our 18th picker).
5. This is a much longer wait between picks than someone say, 9th in the order, who picks every 18 available players.
6. We 'grandfather'/run a small dynasty with veto voting, i.e. we each choose 1 player from each row we want to keep; the league votes who they want to reject back into the pool. Coaches may choose to hold an existing player from the previous year's list in the same possy if their nomination gets vetoed.
7. I'll probably get to hold: Andy Brayshaw (FWD), Bont (MID) and Tom Stewart (DEF) - already a decent spine!
8. League vetoes Grundy (my nominated RUC dynasty pick) from my team, meaning I'll have to use pick #1 to get him again. Can't see him being any less than the same durable beast this season as he was last year.
My question is - how best to use this strategy?
