Hi guys. I think I am interested in joining and taking over 'who da titoons' (yay worst team?), after talking briefly with Leperflesh. After having had read the rules doc, is there anything else I need to know before leaping in? I'm sure this is a terrible way for me to waste some of my money.

Spermy Smurf posted:Nothing you need to know other than your 2017 first pick was traded to me. Don't bother looking for the trade, or why it happened. For some reason I don't believe you... (That said, can we start talking about trades? I suppose folks are just not active yet..)

Do we have a sense of timing on the rookie draft? Probably soon ish? I'm out of town next week, but could still be responsive if necessary.

Spermy Smurf posted:Rookie draft is for all unsigned players, we need to update our rules if we want to change it to that. It seems like a decent starting place (otherwise I could for example drop Julio and take him #1 to reduce his salary to 20). For the other issue (keeping forever), could just add escalators in year 4-5 or whatever. Not having any kind of draft kinda sucks for teams at the bottom as they don't get any help in recovering.

Generally, I feel like 10% is probably enough once players are 'fairly' priced -- the question is getting them there. I might say if last season you were a WR1/RB1 (/QB/TE/IDP?), the minimum should be say $8 instead of $1, and for a WR2/RB2 $4 or 5. Maybe even scaling down to $1 at WR-X. If that's even possible? That way you can get a discounted player and take advantage of that for several seasons which is sort of the point of dynasty, but they don't stay highly discounted for their entire career. That minimum actually means that even the top players are looking at more than 10% functionally, but it also pushes those that are highly discounted up into the same 'high cost' territory after a few seasons, while allowing those few seasons of success because you got the right player. A: I'd probably lean towards no on a new player, but yes on a new roster slot if one were added. B: I think it's fine to leave it for next year and have a fully thought through solution instead of rushing to do it this season. C.1: Should we just leave things as they are for now? Y C.2: Should we keep the rookie/free agent in snake format, but adjust these starting salary numbers? N C.3: If we decide to do C.2, should the salaries generally be higher, or lower, or a mix? C.4: Should we dump the snake format and switch to an auction rookie/free agent draft? N - the issue for me is giving low ranked teams something to do / look forward to. a pure auction system makes it a lot harder for those teams to come back. C.5: Irrespective of C2-4, should we separate out rookies from free agents, and just do a rookie draft, with free agents dealt with via FAAB? Yes, separate them out, but maybe have it be bidding that doesn't come from the seasonlong FAAB pool in one window? Zauper fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Aug 11, 2017 |

Spermy Smurf posted:The issue I have with seperating the non-rooks out from the rookie draft is that our 5th pick last year was Coby Fleener right? Or 4th? It was something where he'd be $20. Is that worth the downside of someone getting a top-end performing player for $20? Maybe it is if there is a yearly adjustment that works.

I'd generally favor expanding roster for draft (and ignoring cap) and requiring compliance by 24h from draft end.

The Zack posted:Why are there 'rounds' in the blind bid waiver request interface? You can enter multiple claims in each round. Can someone please explain? It's conditional bidding, and you can only have 5 'groups' bid. So what happens is, let's say you decide you want to bid on a safety, but you'd be ok with any of say 7 safeties. You could make a 'safety' group and bid $1 on the first safety, then $1 on the second, then $1 on the third, then $7 on the fourth if you wanted, then $1 on the fifth etc. It processes by doing all the 'top level' claims first. If you win your top level claim, the group condition is satisfied and it stops bidding. If not, if then processes the second level claim for all groups not satisfied. etc.

Leperflesh posted:OK here's what I propose. If we drop players as described above, can we also fill his taxi squad using 'highest rookie ADP' to use his picks at a minimum? Still sucks, but at least there's something. Ideal is he shows up or we get a taker. e: doing the math, putting luck (by himself) on the taxi squad gives him enough space.

Leperflesh posted:luck can't go on the taxi squad lol! Sorry, I meant IR not taxi squad lol. The two coming off would add 23.5 to cap hit, luck going on would subtract 20. 11.5 currently free, means would have 8 remaining. And sure, that seems like a reasonable source (though the blank rows are...weird) e: we could also postpone the vet auction until after the draft?

Leperflesh posted:Yeah I think we've got enough buffer to push the waiver out to wed. night or thursday AM, then everyone still has over a day to decide on draft picks. Given the timing works out, I'd probably rather waivers process first. But then, I need like infinite players to fill my roster, so.

Spermy Smurf posted:Are dudes on the wrong team for you guys too? It seems right to me? When I look in add/drop, Latavius Murray is listed with the correct team. When I view his profile, he's on the right team. When I look at last year's stats, he's listed with stats from the correct team (OAK), which is different from his current team as it is from last year. Same logic holds true for me in other MFL leagues.

Leperflesh posted:also it goes 12 rounds by default but I'll be shocked it we have more than like seven. I am currently 10 players from max. Assuming I win 5 waivers, I'd need 8 rounds to fill my roster. There is one other team with 13 (15 to fill), and one other with 15 (10 to fill). So at least some of us are sitting through 8 rounds minimum.

Leperflesh posted:Yeah. Hill may still have a job and part of a timeshare in cincinnatti, but there's an opportunity cost to taking him over some other RB with either more long-term future prospects, or a clearer role. Yeah, I have essentially 0 faith in Hill. He was terrible last year. Mixon is clearly supposed to take his job. Gio is the third down back either way, which limits his upside even further. I'd rather hold Gio (like I did). I feel like his long term role is less clear than several players on my bench.

Leperflesh posted:Since you can't announce a steal until tuesday morning at the earliest, you always will have through the wendesday waiver wire transaction before you're forced to clear a roster spot. If someone waits till after the Wed run to announce a steal, +72 hours takes you through the Saturday waivers, so again you can use waivers to help clear a spot. How does this interact with the 72h rule and Thursday games? Thursday night players are immune from getting stolen? (because you can't claim on Monday's)?
