Official 2008/09 WTFDetroit Fantasy Football League

I'll be gone the weekend of the 31st, so I'm debating if I want to be in a league whose draft I cannot be present for. I more often than not hate my team when it's autopicked for me. Something in the defaults with the pre-ranking system seems to screw me - such as when they decide to take a TE because I don't have one yet, even though a solid backup RB that I had ranked highly is still on the board. Thus, you end up with Marcus Pollard instead of Michael Turner. Happened to me once. I'm pretty sure I didn't even have Marcus Pollard anywhere near my rankings.

Wizzle, after the draft, let's talk trades.

[Wizzle]

With the teams we are going to have they will definitely be win/win deals

[Wilfredo Ledezma]

I'm in (Defending Champion)

[Glenn]

Looks like you've got yourself a bye week in week 1, Wil.

[Zekyl]

What day are you guys doing the draft for this? I may jump in, you'll need someone to kick around relentlessly for humor purposes.

[Glenn]

Join.

It's set for the Sunday night before the season starts, but we can move it if anybody wants to.

I don't have a problem doing an autopick draft for myself if the time doesn't work for me, since I like to shake up my roster anyways.

[Zekyl]

Might as well. Autopick would probably do better for me than I would.

[Zekyl]

Maybe not. Can't seem to get to the site from work.

Autopick sucks on one hand (because you'll end up with 2 kickers and 2 defenses), but on the other hand it does stimulate trades more. When you do a live draft the amount of trade and waiver action is MUCH less because people mostly get who they want.
