Just a reminder to watch your money as you draft. As we all know $80 million goes only so far. It has to cover a 25 man roster, initially. So make sure you have enough money to: [b:52119dc371](1)[/b:52119dc371] cover the cost of your keepers; [b:52119dc371](2)[/b:52119dc371] cover the cost of your livedraft choices; [b:52119dc371](3)[/b:52119dc371] cover the cost of autodrafting the rest of your roster.
[b:52119dc371]When preseason starts your keepers, and your livedraft choices must appear on your initial rosters.[/b:52119dc371] This is only right and fair to everyone in the league. What is not right and not fair to everyone else is to change your roster after the draft, but before you load your team in the league. Your keepers and draft choices are yours, initially, for better or worse. Free agents are free agents and can be autodrafted, or picked up only after preseason starts. This way everyone has an equal opportunity to acquire a player who is free agent.
If you see you have overspent during the draft, the way we resolve that is for you to drop livedraft choices until you have enough money available to finish the livedraft and fill out a 25 man roster. And, you must post here that the previously livedrafted players are available again. As free agents they can then be drafted by anybody who can afford them.
If you are unhappy with the way your team has come together you can fix it during preseason, not before. Remember, if he is not your keeper, you didn't livedraft him, and didn't get him in the autodraft, you cannot put him on your roster until preseason begins at approximately midnite EDT the day the league is filled.
