I did dumb risk taking as well last year. I took jimmy Graham and fucked my whole normal draft procedure.
Dynasty format leaves a lot of different strategies to account for tho so it's not as concrete as a redraft

Yeah I'm a little worried about this dynasty draft. Never done one before. I do know I'm not getting stuck with CJ and Ridley again like last year.
I got stuck with Rice and Ridley in one league last year and I still finished 3rd somehow... Drafted well late in the rounds. I think I wound up with Bernard, Cameron, and Gordon in that one.
I drafted vareen in the mid rounds and he got hurt. He was my sleeper rb3 and he pushed closer to a 2 when he was healthy. Big blow to my team in which I drafted Richardson, the rams version who was a ducking buuuuust
So how exactly is this draft gonna work? Where do I go to make my selection on Wednesday?
I'm still confused... I'm pretty sure it says live draft is set for 8/25 too.
Only differences I noticed in the scoring settings... it's set at -1 for a fumble and -1 for a fumble lost. I think we had this discussion last year that it should only be -2 for a fumble lost (no punishment for fumbles if they're recovered). It's set at 1 point per 20 passing yards instead of 25. It's also set at 6 points for a 50 yard FG instead of 5.
No big deal, but I just thought I'd point out the main differences.

The email draft will begin when I set it to it and it will start immediately once I do, thus is why I havnt changed the draft date yet.
And I'm pretty sure you will log on, click the draft tab and have a player selection to choose from. It'll then email all the members your selection and notify the next member that they are on the clock.
I'm a fan of the 20 per passing. The field goal scoring is equal to a TD if it's above 50 which does seem maybe excessive.
The fumble/fumble lost isn't that big of a deal but I'm sure I can change if of it's that big of a deal.
Damn... we're gonna be getting a sh*t ton of emails then... as in like 300. lol
I thought maybe at one point somebody said something about transferring the roster to Yahoo or something. Idk.
Yea the initial idea was to move it to yahoo if everyone complained but the control from yahoo to FleaFlicker is a huge loss. Being able to change shit from yahoo was a mess every time I tried to run a mock league from it.
And yes. Emails. But I'll take that over having to schedule a live draft in which people sleep thru
You really gotta give this thing a chance
Yea I'll be fine... just curious. One last question (for now)...
How does that $300 waiver budget work? Not familiar with that.

Basically auction style waiver. But you have only 300 for the year. Keeps people from going ham on dropping and picking players up and allows everyone a chance at someone who maybe is having a breakout season. Blind bidding system. Highest bidder gets the player.
The bidding system is the part I'm not familiar with either. But it sounds interesting. Though I'll probably hate it the first time I can't get a player I wanted.
Its free agency for arm chair GM's like you and me. If you want a player you have to want to pay for him too like in real life. I like the feature.
Taking a old RB would be about as dumb a thing as you could do in dynasty, especially this day in age.
I would never take him in dynasty. last year I thought cj would have a good year and nope
Exactly. It means FA isn't given to the shottiest team. It's given to who can be strategic about it. I gave each team a little more money to bid with as well. 300 should last a year just fine
Well I can't wait to try it. Let's get this started. Where do we pay?
I'm sendin out and email today to everyone about the 25 dollar buy in. I need a response from everyone before we implement it. It'll be paypal thru ravens shall burn if everyone agreea
I hate email, so I'm just gonna respond on here...
I really want this to be a money league even though this is my first time doing dynasty.
I would say delay the start of the draft until you figure that out... because someone will end up with a sh*tty team and then be all like "I don't wanna bet money now that my team sucks."
You've gotta make it a money league before the draft... not after.
I guess there's always a way to make it a money league even if a couple don't pay... If they make the playoffs remove them and replace them with person ranked beneath them.

I've got one no at this moment. Even with email and this updated that's only 3 folks who've replied.
See the problem
People getting their PayPal money in is gonna take a month at this rate
