Setting this up to see if there would be interest in a Goon Best Ball draft. I’m using Fantrax for the first time, and would accept the default scoring except to change passing TDs to 6 and eliminate defenses. Positions: 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 non-qb flex It would be a slow snake draft with 8 hours per pick and a sleep timer. I’m hoping to have a 12 team league but could stretch to 16 if there is enough interest. It’s a 20 round draft with restrictions on number of positions so someone can’t draft 20 QBs, etc. This would be my first best ball league, but once you draft, that’s it. No waiver pick ups, no substitutions, the computer automatically selects the best lineup out of all your players. You draft, you watch, and at the end of the season, the one with the most points gets all the glory. For this year since it’s an experiment, it would just be a free league. I’ll send the winner an avatar certificate or something similar. If you’re interested, let me know and I’ll send you the link. Thanks!

I'm interested, would be nice to get to know Fantrax ahead of the GFB. When were you thinking of launching it?

If it's best ball, I'm down for it since I don't have to worry about team maintenance.

My bday is tomorrow and will be out of town inebriated until Sunday. If we can wait until Monday to start the draft cool, but if not don't let me slow us down. I am a fully functional alcoholic drafter.

I am a fully functional alcoholic drafter. First, happy birthday!  Second, I'll be in Houston myself for this weekend, so Monday is probably the best day for me to start as well. But if everyone is ready sooner, I'm good either way. I'm kind of curious to see how Fantrax works as I've never used it before.

I would be interested, curious how different the strategy would be between drafting for a best ball and using a salary cap.

Interested but I'm likely to be without cell service for most of July 4th-7th, and I'm guessing that will overlap with the later rounds.

I think you'll be able to set up a list of players to draft in case you can't make it. Sent you a PM if you still want to join. But at the worst, it would just autodraft for you after eight hours. Edit: Yeah, it's on the front page under league notices: Rank Players For Draft

Assuming no one else joins by tomorrow night, I’ll just lock it and make it a ten team draft. We’ll see, but I’m ready to go.

Ok, I assume this is the draft order and that it won't change. I can't guarantee it since I haven't used Fantrax before, but here it is.

I essentially wanted any spot besides 5, because outside of the obvious top 4, there is really no difference between 5 and 10 in the first round. At least at 10 my pick would hopefully be more obvious. I will make my pick soon, it is so early in the year that I have not done any research yet.

Honestly, I don't think there is that much of a fall off from four to five. You still have Gordon, DJ and Hopkins. poo poo, you could make a case for Conner, Adams, Julio, and Thomas. Gordon is severely underrated this year. If he isn't hurt in the last quarter of the 2018 season, I think he's in the top four conversation.

That is kind of the point though. A bunch of players are equivalent, both making it harder to choose and making the 5 pick somewhat wasted value compared to 9 or whatever. Still thinking!
