rai Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I have never played in a draft only league, but I always say that I draft really well, but pick the wrong combo to start each week. This is a draft only, PPR league, draft 20 players no WW pickup no weekly roster it takes your highest players at each position each week. http://myfantasyleague.com/fantasy-football-purchase/fantasy-football-purchase-mfltens.php The Draft Only Setup 12 Teams per League 20 Players per Roster Best Ball/Optimal Lineup Scoring Draft-Only: No free agents or lineup submissions 8-Hour Draft Clock limit per pick 16-week season with total points scoringThese are point-per-reception (PPR) leagues and have a starting lineup requirement featuring:1 Quarterback 2 Running Backs 3 Wide Receivers 1 Tight End 1 Flex (RB, WR or TE) 1 Team Defense 1 Kicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rai Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) there is 'optimal lineup' would you tend to pick more of one position such as D or K where you can get wide variances in points from week to week but no way of knowing when or just the minimum number of 2 Defense and K since they can never/rarely miss except for bye weeks. Also since no WW pickups have to guard against injury so what would you advise in drafting handcuffs and in the numbers of each positions? Or to pick more steady eddie guys who don't tend to get unjured such as Flacco over high risk reward guys like Vick thanks.

delusions of grandeur Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Few things. Wrong forum Can take chances on more volatile players since you don't have to decide which week they'll go off to start them (probably my still a good idea to have a mix of safe and boom/bust though) Handcuffs in late rounds if not deep, earlier if good value/high upside. Dont draft defense too early as you can. ptoba lay get by just as well with best score from 2 DEFs Other than that, not that much different, just set it and forget it.

Axe Elf Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Well, I've posted a few threads about winning DraftMaster leagues, but the site seems intent upon removing my name from everything I post--and removing many of my posts themselves--so good luck finding them.

rai Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 it sounds like you want to take the studs just like always(early) but instead of late deep picks of WR and RBs that might be low scorers, better to get a few QBs to cover byes as well as if they have big point games here and there.

Axe Elf Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Yeah, like Delusions of Grandeur said, it doesn't hurt to have a few guys that might pop up with a 2 TD day now and again, even if they disappear the rest of the season. In that sense, I'd rather have a Denard Robinson than a Pierre Thomas. I think you need at least two at every position, but if I'm happy with my stable of RBs and WRs, I have sometimes gone with three TEs or three QBs when I think those positions are weaker. Outside of the elite few at TE, especially, that position tends to produce very inconsistent scoring--so it's nice to have three potential scorers at the position (and in leagues that score a flex position, a second solid TE day might even break into the lineup as a flex score). Two Ks and two Ds should suffice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
