It's too time consuming to scout every single player

Please have a single page showing all players in spreadsheet form

I just downloaded the player list (CSV comma separated, decimal is dot) at the top of the draft board page to excel and can sort by any category. I sorted based on position first and then was able to resort by attributes and pick the best players at each position.

It's a Supporter feature (one of the most useful ones, I might add). So you have access to all Supporter features, but he doesn't.

Honestly, being Supporter is very cheap (about $21 per year, so $1.75 a month). It's worth it just to get spreadsheets of players and to support Pete.

I agree with you. I don't want to know what it's like to not have a supporter account!

As you can see, I am now a sponsor.

I did not find the new layout much easier.

I had to delete a dozen useless columns and resize everything to get something printable.

After each round I need to do this again?

These roster layouts should be priority #1 as far as I'm concerned.

Mhh there a alot of ways to work with the Data Bunch. Use Office to filter the important stuff.

If you are a supporter you need one single file to set up your Draftboard for the whole year.
And remember you have 8 Reallife weerks without a supporter to set up your board without supporter accounter.


Download the csv. data and work with the sheet.

Thank you for the advise kronos, I will need it in the future.

My suggestion still stands.

I have played a lot of rinky dink manager games in the past and this is by far the most work I have had to do, to manage my roster.

Almost everything you are suggesting I do on excel, should be possible on-site.

do you know that you when u insert a sheet in excel you be able to sort a collum?

so you sort ascending
or you sort
descending Order

create your own fomular (for example Strength + speed - age) to get your perfect draft board.

The Draft is for me one of the best features in this Game (cheers to Pete) . For me still to simple, but hey. This Game is all about longtime motivation. And yes you have alot time to invest to beeing sucessfull here.

No.
You can hide columns (or unhide), you can also create a table that reads only the data you find useful.

No. If you save your first excel spreadsheet you can just edit it - delete the rows for the players that have been selected, then you can see what is left for the following rounds.
