Hi,
Can we please get dates for the Redraft Draft and the Rookie Picks for Dynasty please.

only 50 days or so till were back on.

Thanks.

[Ironside]

the redraft league if Mrs Bobby1 is happy to take the money again will be on the monday evening after the final preseason game

[bobby1]

Yes she’s fine to control the cash for the redraft league Ironside.  Any news re the D league draft Curtis?

2 weeks (hopefully) til training camp starts.

I'll be happy to join the redraft league fellas if you are short of numbers. I play in a few others each year so know how it all works etc.

[bobby1]

I can vouch for Stevef31 as we played in fantasy NFL leagues together many years ago. He will absolutely take it seriously. He's a big Detroit and Huddersfield Town fan so I guess somewhere 35 to 40 years ago they must have both been good at the same time/week.

He was the first guy I ever saw do a 6fer2 trade in about week 4 one year of a redraft league, he gave the 6 up for 2 btw.

Hi All

I'll do a catch up of the DLeague over the weekend and get things in motion for the draft to start ASAP, ideally next weekend if feasible.

I'm not old enough to remember either of Town or the Lions being any good mate, as you know.!!

There’s always this season mate. Just need to get that defensive coach to play some D.

How did you get on Curtis?

[Sheriff Fatman]

How did you get on Curtis?

Push everything I advised earlier back by a week, as currently snowed under at work.

Hi Curtis,
Any update to this and can i help in anyway shape or form?.

We need to start the Draft for the Dynasty this weekend IMO.

As i said anything i can do to help please let me know.

Tbh with no pre season games this season and still no final Deadline Date that players have to choose to opt out of the season I fancy we might be better off waiting with the D league draft.

Damien Williams has chosen to opt out of the season tonight leaving A hole at RB for Kansas behind CEH.  Devin Funchess opted out last night Leaving the Packers without their new WR. There have been plenty of decent D players opting out already too.

I’m not sure there is a lot to gain by drafting when we don’t  yet know what the full list of players still in the league this season will be for at least another week or so.

If Ronald Jones chose to opt out then Vaughan becomes a more valuable D league player . If someone drafts Vaughan this weekend and he decided to Opt out then he’s  almost worthless at his current draft position.

It just feels like too many unknowns with almost 6 weeks til the first game to draft with this level of uncertainty around.

Hi All

Part of the delay in doing anything relates to the issues the bobby1 mentions here.  I've been trying to evaluate how to address this within our league, as it is going to have the potential to mess up rosters disproportionately.

One league I'm part of, which drafted a few weeks ago, have added an extra IR slot to their structure.  We already use the full quota on Yahoo so there's no additional allowance for this (unless they build it in going forward).

The best solution I can think of so far is some sort of allowance where opted-out players can be dropped for this season and replaced, and then picked up again in the following year.  However, this in itself would cause complications depending on whether you had to pick up the dropped player, or it was optional, etc.

The situation is evolving quite rapidly at the moment, so the natural instinct is to delay the draft until as late as possible, albeit we need to have sufficient time for our process to complete over the course of several days.

Opted out is really like the player doing his ACL in training camp. It should only be for one season. It can happen to anyone. Unless one of us is overwhelmingly affected compared to everyone else, I'm happy for it to be just taken as rough with the smooth. We don't want people being unable to put a team out, but it could easily be that the fringe starter on your roster suddenly becomes a bottom end WR1 because of opportunity.
