I have created the league!
League Name is GG Daily Franchise Keeper 2018-B
Password is 2018B
The next step is our FA filler draft, in which we will all get back to 26 UFA's. But we'll use the game engine as a draft tool this time around. hat tip to jmtosi for coming up with the idea!
Here's the plan.
Create your team, Daily Game set, $200 MM cap just as for Season A.
FILL YOUR AUTO DRAFT ROSTER WITH YOUR 16 FA KEEPERS, PLUS PLAYERS FROM YOUR FRANCHISE. THIS PART OF THE PROCESS IS A NO-BRAINER, NO REAL DECISIONS TO MAKE.
LOAD IN ORDER! EAST FIRST, THEN CENTRAL, AND FINALLY WEST.
Rynecrazy (Bill, who has the Dodgers) will be the "trigger man" - If everyone else loads their teams by 6 PM tomorrow, he will load up and the auto draft will run. The league is set up as FRENZY so there will be no waiver period. This way, when you look at the league online, the players appearing as free agents will either (a) belong to one of the 12 league franchises, or (b) actually be free agents. And we'll all be able to move players around immediately.
If we hit this schedule, we'll start the draft, on this thread and on the clock, first thing Thursday morning, completing two rounds per day, which means we'll finish Saturday. This gives everyone from then until Monday evening to set their rosters, lineups and team strategy etc.
If we don't hit this schedule, Bill will wait until after the deadline on Friday night to trigger the auto draft, and we will start our FA draft on Sunday.
Regardless of when we do our draft, what everyone should do when we do is this...when you draft a player and post your choice here, also go into the league in the game engine and put that guy on your team (remove franchise players as needed). In this way, the free agent list in the game engine will continue to be relevant to the league.
Let's rock!
