So has the 10th person joined?
We need to make a decision whether they're going to get in or if we need to replace them.
Given we need to have the full allotment 2 hours before draft time.

Well the 10th person is supposed to be allefgib, who was pretty keen to play.

I've inboxed and he said he was signing up so.... Maybe he's been busy with work so we shall see over the weekend.

Interested to see where the defenders and rucks go in the draft.

I always find with rucks once one or two go, everyone panics and then the whole lot go. It's actually quite annoying to be honest haha.

I'd actually done it all before...
cept missed the small print in the rush to do something and not hit the 'create team' button as that last step when you review all the rules, guernsey, name etc.

All sorted now - though I thought I might be able to chagne guernsey colours... I guess I'll dig deeper to find that.

When we drafting??
 
Right - so calmed myself down and done some reading. All setup for Monday night.

Quick question on the pre-draft editting. The 'fantasy score' is that project on OUR rules, or is it AFL Fantasy points (and is there even a difference...?)

When the league was set up we got to choose scoring system.
We chose the regular dream team scoring K-3 H-2 M-3 etc etc

Which is great and i remember that discussion.

My question here is the 'auto ranking' by predicted score.. is that the score based on our rules?

Oh, yes it is. Sorry misunderstood the question.
All scores are the same as our system as they use the same DT points that we are using.
 
Thanks for the confirmation.

Just to be an ass coz I like to understand things.

IF we changed our system - say dropped out handballs, would that predicted score change. OR is it just static data from AFL fantasy predictions.. and we're just lucky its exactly the same rules?

I can edit the league settings and change handballs to 0 and see what it does to the average scores if you like.

The predicted scoring column is just a statistic created by the people who run UF on what they believe that player will average over the season, based on the default scoring system (which is the same as DT).

But I'm 99% sure if I were to change the scoring system then the 2013 averages etc would change accordingly. Predicted scores for 2014 I'm not so sure.
 
I have a committee meeting Monday for the first hour of this :(

I'll ensure I have my draft rankings set, but hope I might be able to sneak in some picks.

Just played around with the pre-draft order. Upside to being sick and off work today! I think it will be a really close draft.

Just made handballs 0 points. Dane Swan who averaged 12.5 handballs a game, fell from an average of 117.5 to 92.5 and his predicted avg. also fell from 121.4 to 95.7

So in answer to your question, editing the scoring system does change both the 2013 avg and 2014 predicted avg accordingly.

Just be very careful using automatic draft selections if you have them in place. While they can be handy and work perfectly fine for 1 to 2 picks in a row, if you miss 5-6+ picks in a row you can be left bone dry in one position depending on the players that are drafted. As you have to make a list etc, lets say you put 3 defenders that you'd be willing to take on your list at 1, 2, and 3 and then a forward at 4 and a defender at 5. If no one drafts any of those 3 defenders you have listed, then the system will automatically draft you 3 defenders are you're just like ****:(

Bacon8 what I would suggest, is that you maybe pm me or another one of us your mobile number and then we can flick you a quick message when your pick is up, so you don't constantly have to check your phone, that way you can at least make some of your own selections. If you think you will have to miss 1 or 2 of your next few picks, you can create a very quick list of draft rankings there on the spot, allowing you to have a much greater chance of getting the players you want still, as you will only have to try and cater for the next 1 or 2 rounds, rather than attempting to predict the next 7 rounds of the draft and being left with a skewed number of players in each position.
WARNING: just be careful and make sure that you turn "Automatic draft selections" on and off accordingly if you will be using them. There will be a pane of options to the side when the draft is open which are pretty self explanatory, but we have had people use it, then forget to turn it off and the system go ahead and draft automatically while they were at the computer.

Another suggestion for you is to make give you password to a mate of yours that would be pretty 'cluey' on this whole fantasy team thing and allow him to draft for you for the first hour or so. Give them a short list of players you are targeting and see who they can pick up for you. We had someone do this last year and it works a hell of a lot better that automatic draft picks.

You've changed the scoring? Can you confirm we are playing with DT scoring and not a modified system.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

If any of you have an issue or query with some of the rules, click on the league and have a read through the settings selected and if there are any problems then post on here.

But everything is on display so get reading.
 
Is there an app? Or just the webpage?
 
Or I could maybe shift to a Sunday draft, if folks wanted.
