Going to set a tentative draft time for Sunday, September 3rd at 3:00 PM. If everyone could just post on the message board on Yahoo that they are returning that would aid greatly in seeing who is returning!
The day is good but that's 5am for me... Could you push the draft time back to Saturday evening please? 8pm your time would be amazing for me.

I've gotten word back from everyone but Paul and moot. You wouldn't happen to have another way to contact them, would you? I also need to send mk007 his invite, which I will do today.

Has League C been organised a date yet? My Yahoo app (which I use more than Smogon) doesn't have a time on it.

Possible we can do this on the evening Saturday the 2nd instead? Already had a money draft scheduled for the 3rd at 8 PM Eastern and now League C's is scheduled for 1 PM on the 3rd.

If we do stick to the 3rd, would have to be a 6 PM Eastern draft (or slightly sooner) for me.

The former still ostensibly uses IRC so he's pretty easy to at least get a message to; we'll see if he replies back to me. Moot I never had a clue.

MK007 I need you to accept your invite or I will invite someone else, please.

Finchinator Mega Ampharos you two are on deck in case MK007 fails to respond and/or moot decides he's out. Please PM me your emails just in case, and check them often as our draft is TOMORROW.

ok need some not so standard advice

I might have the opportunity to buy into a league with around a $5000 pot for significantly cheaper than the buy-in. However, it would mean having to pick between one of these autodrafted teams. Do either of these look like something that could work?





yeah, that's right, these two teams autodrafted eleven fucking tight ends and 0 WRs. luckily TEs can play in WR slots, and 8 teams ended up not drafting one because they assumed those players would drop TEs week one (rather than drop themselves out of the league xD)

I'm leaning towards team #2, palatable RBs, top QB, and Graham/Reed/Ertz should all perform about at replacement WR level. Some good managing and I could swing some trades for some underrated WRs, particularly targeting Pierre Garcon and maybe John Brown for someone like Bennett, and Devonta Parker or Demarius Thomas for Reed or Graham.

Any thoughts? Or are these teams hopeless?

i'd go with team 2 -- you have a surefire top QB option, J Howard is likely to have another good season, and you have 3-4 top 10 TEs that can be salvaged. seems like more upside and less risk
 
would it still be worth the risk if I had to choose Team #1? Not really a fan aside from the QBs, McCoy and Gronk. Might be #1 or passing.

I'd take team 1 personally, Ryan and Cam are strong starter combos, can maybe package one with grink for a top tier WR, your RBs are risky but solid and Olsen+Rudolph is locked in value at TE or a mid range WR if you want to go that route. Definitely playable.

The quest is if you think you can get odds enough to win above the league value, if it's a 50 or 100 dollar buy in the risk-reward matrix is skewed heavily to the reward.

why does a league with a $5000 pot have two autodrafted teams in the first place, let alone they drafted all non-waiver-worthy TEs

swear to fuckin god we better not have to push this shit back, although next sunday would be workable I suppose
