Aw I like IDP

that said it probably gives the people that are able to make draft a huge advantage that removing it seems fair

I could try FAAB now that I think about it, makes waivers less of a crap shoot and probably more aggressive

a huge advantage in the sense that if you attend the draft, you won't autodraft a defensive player?

if we're voting on IDP, I vote to keep

Well the thing with Yahoo is it doesn't rank IDPs, so you'll end up with a bunch of random defensive players who don't start instead of good ones like bobby wagner, Joey Bosa, or Landon Collins (I swear I always draft that group)

---

In regards to everything that was being voted on, I don't want the platform change still, but I also don't want the removal of IDP. If they get removed I'm just out of the League regardless of which platform we choose to be on. FAAB could be interesting to try out. My other league is adding one slot for IR and I think that's fair, considering we aren't getting that much in understanding on what's going on with teams. Undisclosed stuff could mess with the draft whether being auto'd or not.

---

Here's what I've got tallying 8 votes (Ark, Reg, Beavis, Arti, Corrik, me, Han, Wickle); if I should count a vote, let me know.

1) 50% so tied. Will need more votes for platform swap
2) 100% - Implementation of FAAB
3) 63% to have an IR spot BUT this drops to 50% if it will cost bench spots
4) 25% to increase IDP

havent done a

5) Cut IDP entirely

but I vote no here cuz I love IDP and this is my only IDP league, but if people want to start throwing votes here, I will count them

No
Yes
Yes

I'd personally be for adding more idp slots over dropping it

No
Yes
Yes but no replacing bench spots
No

Ok let me see if we can figure out who we're missing.

Also if you are or know who one of the missing names are please let me know. I'll give you a cookie.

Thanks for counting that up Nana, you the man.

@Nanahara715
@Corrik7

I know you are two of the missing spots on that list so let me know who you are and reminding you both draft is tomorrow.

Actually:

Um... I am definitely none of this teams. Was I booted from the league last year? Lol. I didn't get an email about the league either lol.

---

I can guarantee I haven't booted anyone without them asking me to, especially after the league was over!

Did you drop out in protest because we were using yahoo maybe?

---

Eh, I might have dropped out cuz multiple ppl wanted to join last year, and I was nice and gave them my spot so they could.

---

Looks like so many people wanted to join the league last year that it was going to be 16 teams. Me and azuarc stepped out so you could have a 14 team league because yinz refused to break off into two 8 team leagues.

---

I will too. 16 doesn't seem very fun tbqh. 14 was crazy big as it was. I'll step out.

Yeah I completely forgot about this. Well if we can't figure out who the mystery 14th person is, you can have their spot.

---

Nick - yahoo
Suprak - ESPN
Corrik - EPSN
Beavis - yahoo
VI - yahoo
SpikeDragon - abstain
HanOfTheNekos - ESPN
azuarc
Korayashi
WickIebee - yahoo
KokoroAkechi - yahoo
Arti - yahoo
MZero11
Reg - ESPN
Ark - Abstain

You added Nana to this. Me and azu dropped out so you could have 14 cuz it was too big.

Why are you pinging me when i already posted in the topic like twice

The last one is @spikedragon

Sorry, last year people complained I did not send out a reminder the day of. Didn't mean to bother anyone!

---

I'm Wild Sevens @Suprak_the_Stud

Oh we drafting tonight

And this is why it is useful to send out pings, even if you already posted in the topic.

Yep, draft tonight. Be there or be stuck with someone who retired last year for your starting LB.

---

I am Nick

I am Jack Frosts/Xevabis

Flashbacks to Andrew Luck

Considering how much attention I've been paying to football this year, I'm even more likely to draft a retired player if I show up.

---

Oh yeah I usually draft Kuechly so that could be me

---

When do we get draft order?

30 minutes before it starts, probably.

---

yeah, order 30 minutes before is how Yahoo does it

I wonder if MZero and Spike are aware of this

also if anyone has discord I can ping you I guess if you dont know the time

---

Draft lobby is open

---

I kinda like my team, has a few runbacks but it also has a lot of Bucs on it

---

My team is pretty good

Ok so by the looks of it, people want:

FAAB over priority on waivers
One IR spot to be added, with no decrease in bench size

PLEASE NOW VOTE IF YOU WANT THESE CHANGES DONE THIS YEAR OR NEXT.

---

This year.

---

i was not aware of this, no. discord tag would've been better since i don't check gamefaqs all that often these days but it's fine.

---

this year

FAAB now is 100% fine
IR spot with no decrease in bench size is also fine now considering Covid, though I would still like to examine reducing bench next year if we keep it.

FAAB this year

i voted against the IR spot since we are on Yahoo, but I also vote No IR spot this year, because it would've impacted my draft (would've taken Ryquell Armstead earlier because he would be a free hold/roster spot)

Nanahara715 posted...

Changing my vote to no on this, then.

---

As someone with a COVID player, and the exact one mentioned at that, I will also choose to change to no IR just because of the change of draft priority. I think it won't be relevant next year as well. At least, hopefully we don't screw up that horribly.

FAAB can start now though.

---

I will likely switch over to FAAB immediately then and wait until next year to implement an IR spot as it would have impacted at least two people's draft strategy.

If you object to this, speak up in 24 hours or so.

@Suprak_the_Stud making the change?

Yeah I tried yesterday on my phone and couldnt find any way to do it. It just isnt there. Ill try from my computer to night to see if that works.

---

Another reason we should've moved off of Yahoo: I don't think I can change to FAAB this year without completely resetting the league. There isn't an option for it under any of the settings, on phone or computer.

I can change some aspects of how waivers work, but it won't let me change the entire system. I've googled some and it seems you can't do it after the draft has occurred. Sorry guys! I'll keep looking to see if I can figure any way around it, and if not I promise we will switch it for next year (along with the IR slot).

Also, I'm wanting to try some random settings in the app I wanted to move us to, and am wanting to set up a full "Defense Wins Championship All IDP / Special Teams League" - any takers? Will be on the Sleeper App

and drafting tonight if I can fill

@Suprak_the_Stud alternativey, screenshot/save the rosters, Reset the league, fix the settings, then manually reassign everyone.

I'm willing to work on this manually if you don't want to go this route.

Side note:

Full IDP League ( no offense - just wanted an IDP only league) using Dynasty Nerds 123IDP settings - drafting on Sleeper tonight ~8:00 PM EST

hey gang

I'm not doing any leagues this year but randomly my girlfriend is playing in one for her first time ever and I'm supposed to coach her through the draft which is in 50 minutes

All I ask of you is who are the last minute busts to completely avoid due to injury, breaking news, etc. I trust you all more than my google fu on this stuff
