Ok i understand this in no Fantasy Football with live draft.

So i scout all players prior to draft and sort.

How i make sure i dont get example 3 LB?

So i thought ok

I put all the LB in first round so i get only one

But this are only 10

So when i put only 10 in first round and all other in second and tird round

Will i go empty in Round 1 when all LB draft by other team before its my round to pick?

Sure i can sort them all and put any round but will risk to get more than one LB example!

So would be wise to have additional setting like:

Get max per Position

where i can say:

LB max 1
SF max 1
WR max 1
TE max 1

and then set all players in order from 1 to 96 and be sure i get what i want when available

but most make sure i dont get 3 TE but need only 1 or 2

Question 1:

When i put 10 player in round 1

and all other in other round 2&3 ( i explained why to do so in first post)

When it is my round to pick and all of my 10 selections not available any more

What player will i get?

If there is no available player set for the round, then the draftorder kicks in, by ignoring any numbers.

I posted this example in an other thread.

Here is a little example for the logic of that first/second/third/any-Round-Marker.

If in the current round no player is marked with that round, the algorithm picks the best available dependend on the individual sorting.

Example:
Player 1 marked 1
Player 2 marked 2
Player 3 marked 3
Player 4 not marked
Player 5 marked 2
Player 6 not marked

In this example the draft is between you and only a second player.
You always pick second, another one picks first.

1 Round:
opponent picks player 1
you pick player 2, because no player with marked 1 availabe and player 2 is highest.
2 Round:
opponent picks player 4
you pick player 5, because it's marked 2
3 Round:
opponent picks player 3
you pick player 6, because no marked 3 available


That's the way it goes.

It IS possible you get 3 LB in the draft.

I had a discussion with Peter redarding draft mechanismn, but wasn't able to get what I wanted.

I had chosen this strategy:
I did put my highest needed players on top from 1 to 96.
But I valued the players with the scouting I did.
So I did not put all OL (former draft on test stage) vom 1 to 20, because there were only 5-7 good ones worth a first rounder, so only 5-7 were in TOP 10, then I did put some LB and so on.

The positions and players I did not like were bottom 30.

The thing is, others will also pick and some talents will be gone when you are up. Of course. So the chance to get 2 TOP OL in my draft was slim and I did not get them, but I did get my TOP LB and my TOP 2 OL and then some Gunner I converted to CB.

It's not perfect, but OK, I think.

thank you jack

know how it works helps make strategie

sure it is depend on how others draft especially how bot teams draft

but i see you understand that need to avoid to example draft 3 for same position so maybe we start again a new proposal in suggestion part of forum maybe there are more manager having same problem and supporting

Another question for you Peter. When does the week start over for when you can start scouting again? For example, I have reached my limit of scout reports at 29 for the "week" as of right now. When does that roll back so I can scout again?

Thanks

So then it is twice a week? Perhaps the limit message could read " You have scouted XX players this training period already." Instead of the current " You have scouted XX players this week already."

Just and idea so there is clarification.
