Competitions Fantasy Elite Draft Game

[Vantz]

I'm gonna give my feelings on each team so far. Each player has been rated by what I feel they will average. Over 100 gets 10 over 90 gets 9 and so on. Bear in mind, some teams have had one extra pick.

Allefgib Bigfellas Brutes 71 from 8 players
Coopers DIY Brainsurgery 72/8
Hendo8888 KnightsofArlandia 76/8
Bacon8 Bacon Persona 75/8
DangerSloane Crack Smoking Monk 71/8
Danoz Whattsa Madda Wiyu 74/8
Hdecure #PattyVeryQuick 74/8
Geoffa32 Puppet Masters 63/7
Kristof NY Assclowns 63/7
VanR88 Vanr88 Pioneers 66/8

Totally my opinion. I think the draft game showed that my opinion was different to most, so make of it what you will

You'll have to re-rank us final 3 after our picks. But i'd agree with that for the most part. I quite like hedcure team atm, he keeps taking players i want. Including Jack who I was going to recruit for my bench at my next pick.

Kristof also picking players I would like the pick before my pick

Just for clarity, from the guide/help on fantasy elite;
EDITING YOUR TEAM

• On the completion of the Live Draft, your Team page allows you to view and edit your entire Team list and follow each player's scoring and performance breakdown.
• Each round you'll need to name your STARTING LINE-UP. You'll score points from these players only.
• You'll be able to make unlimited changes right through the season by either making substitutions on your floating bench (note that they can only be named in your Starting line-up in the position/s they are available in); by completing"Draft Trades" (trading players direct in the Free Agent Player Draft or Waiver System - with the remaining and available pool of players); or "Team Trades", where you can trade direct with the other teams in your League via the Trades Centre.

This says to me that regardless of who you have on bench, you can trade for anyone, so long as you can still field a team.

So hendo8888 I still think you are in a strong position, as when you swap Sandi for Cox, you will be able to put Cox in the fwds.

For clarity for myself, are we all open on drafting strategy, in terms of what we fill our benches with?we aren't putting any restrictions on positions etc? I just wanna make sure I don't upset anyone with any "far-out" strategies...

I'm happy for people to draft whoever they like onto their bench. People trying to use the loopholes of the system may find it difficult when it comes to bye rounds or injuries ect.

I figure as much. I can see the loophole mentioned earlier in the thread, but I don't think its worth risking the rest of your team for it.

I also messaged the fantasy guys to clarify the auto-emergency rule, whether only one player can be counted as emergency each week or whether all players who don't score on the field are covered.

Is Geoffa32 up?

 

[Vantz]

Is Geoffa32 up?

Yes I believe he is the next one up.

 

[Mego Red]

C'mon- it's my pick next!!

 

[hendo8888]

I drafted Sandilands assuming I won't have him for 7 weeks or so, so I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
My team might start off slow, but hopefully I'll have it peaking come finals time (hopefully I make it there).

Considering its an 8 team finals series, in a 10 team league, I don't think you should worry too much

hehe. I'm poking fun at Kristof complaining about getting picks on, but if he'd waited 30 seconds, he could've just picked, hence the wink
