Thanks, Beer! Need just a few more for a slow draft. The only requirement is that you write a short blurb about your strategy going in, them analyze how it worked out after drafting is done. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3854617

Sataere posted:I want something less skill based and more drinking based. I appreciate you looking our for me being #1, but I don't think I'm in this league Our 14 man auction league has a procedural penalty of 1 tequila shot. If you can't 100% handle your hard liquor, this inevitably leads to something as innocuous as "nominating an owned player" or "nominating a stud for such a low value that it pisses everyone off," becoming a downward spiral of 3+ procedural penalties in a row Fond memories of someone forgetting to cross off nominated players, and having to just guess players to nominate, doing a shot each time, until they finally get one on the fifth attempt Drunk Nerds fucked around with this message at 03:58 on May 4, 2018 |

The worst feeling is spotting a new "trend" that all the analysts seem to have missed, and feeling super smug about ranking certain guys a lot higher or lower then convention... and then Matthew Berry starts spouting the same idea. Makes my heart plummet from "feeling super clever," to "feeling like a basic bitch."

Poque posted:it's either that or my other idea where each winner gets to create a new rule for the league which stack year after year, so by the time you're five seasons in you have an insane league where NFC players are banned but everybody has to start 3 QBs, your tight end has to be white, and missed extra points are worth +10 points. Did you ever try the Calvinball league on SA? IT's basically that but contained to a single season. I never did it, but it seems that the consensus was it's fun but being commish is brutally hard because you get tax code levels of rule interactions

VietCampo posted:Anyone familiar with the Colts have any idea what Marlon Mack's upside is for the upcoming season? They shored up their line, got rid of Gore, and may have a top 3 QB coming back. Upside is mid-high RB2, as I see it. Downside is if Mack just sucks/isn't fully recovered from shoulder surgery. Colts also drafted a couple of late backs, including a guy named Wilkins who has some buzz for a fifth rounder. Downside is Mack is worthless after week 2

kiimo posted:How do I do this with the World Cup Well you could take the top 12 ranked teams and put them in a hat. The only issue is that there could be ties(like two teams get eliminated in the quarterfinals), so you'd need contingencies for that Probably the best way to maximize rooting investment and minimize ties is to put all 64 teams in a hat and each team picks 5. Then maybe they get 1 "win point" for each win before the round of 32 or whatever then the points double each round after that, sort of like march madness. After the world cup, draft order is whoever's 5 teams got the most total "win points" Id love something like that, the only issue is

pmchem posted:I will politely disagree; while it would be long, it’s already long as a snake. I run a 14-team auction league and the draft hums along. You don’t have all 14/20 people bidding on every player. The field quickly thins down to 2-4 serious bidders, and then to 2. After the big money players are gone it’s like any other draft. Hard to do this online, but one thing that really sped up my large (14+) team auctions irl is having people sit around the table and go clockwise either bidding or passing. Once you pass, you're out. Stops that whole "going... going... <bid>" crap from happening several times per player.

pmchem posted:ESPN supports that. It does require the drafters actually clicking 'pass' (if they're not already autodrafting). People without the remaining budget to bid on a player are automatically out of the running, too. That's right, that speeds things up. The way my irl auction does it is we go player by player, "hey, you bidding or passing," and if you don't bid, you're out. "Going once... going twice..." really takes up a ton of time if you do it 3-5 times per player for 192 + players. Our first auction was 6 hours before we implemented it, then subsequent ones have always been about 4 hours.

Poque posted:Defense (and a couple kickers) for more than $1 have become the new market inefficiency in our auction draft, but obviously that's way different than a snake draft. I was way high on the Jags defense last season and got them for $1 with an early nomination while the Broncos went for $5 and the Cardinals went for $4. While I am the staunchest advocate for "don't nominate a drat kicker early, that advice is ridiculous," my auction league has a tequila shot penalty for any procedural errors or ridiculous overbids (a penalty that often spirals out of control if you don't watch yourself.) So it has been a fun "strategy" to nominate kickers early for 1, then everyone waits with baited breath until some unassuming or drunk person bids $2 then we all jump up and down and chant "take a shot!"

Poque posted:This would be EXACTLY the league where it's beneficial to nominate early.. for other positions you'll always have the chance to bid up, but if people hesitate to bid over $1, then you want the best $1 player. Eh It’s a high money league where at least 10/14 owners have researched everything. It’s a lot easier to catch the few unrehearsed in a $1 overbid than it is to slip a sleeper out early in a crowd where at least 25% of the owners are also in love with that sleeper. Also, best case scenario: you get the best $1 player, as you put it. Meh, I’d rather work the body by nominating buster tier 2rbs and then get a top 12rb for market value instead of 5%+ more than market value. Then I can spend that $5 savings outbidding people for my two favorite $1 players

One of my new auction tips is to observe if more people are nominating scrub buster WRs or rbs, then do the thing that the majority are doing, Nominating players at a specific position that are high value (that you hate) stacks: The more people doing it, the sooner peoples slots get filled and bank goes down, maximizing the value for the remaining people Don’t discuss this strategy beforehand, obv, that’s collusion and is wrong.

This short field should make it easy for defenses to box in DJ Ben Nevis posted:I have Lenny 4nets above CMC. Fournette's foot/ankle just does not fully heal. He takes too many hard hits, too. He'll be great for 8 games then a constant 50/50 gametime coin flip as to whether he even plays. CMC is literally the only RB/WR in Carolina who doesn't completely blow. He'll get 80 catches as the Panthers figure out they can't move the ball without swing passes Ben Nevis posted:Henry and Lewis being 15 seems to just be a complete punt on valuing them. No, no, we're supposed to be disagreeing. Ben Nevis posted:I think Penny and Sony both wind up higher than they are now. Seattle will be playing from behind a ton, and their o-line is butter. Sony has fumbling issues, and fumbling issues+New England RB + crowded backfield is a recipe for disaster. Ben Nevis posted:Edelman seems low. Benjamin too. I'm not sure how to value Edelman, but even missing 4 games he'll likely outscore anyone in his immediate neighborhood pricewise. Edelman is tough for me because he doesn't score TDs. His season record is 6. Plus he's been losing the edge lately and NE's WRs are duller than they have been in years, plus Brady is 41. Kelvin Benjamin is a horrible player on the worst team in football. I want to put him at zero, but he is a WR1
