We have done online auctions the last 4 years and for the most part it works. Some things to check and watch for: 1) Check with site you are going to use to make sure it can accomdate your roster format 2) For ESPN, all auction participants had to sign up for an account 1 hour prior to the start otherwise your draft would be cancelled 3) There can be lag when bidding depending on network condtions and/or computer hardware. One owner got a steal because the timer wasn't refreshing fast enough on people's computer. 4) Some site require updates to flash or some other plug in. Also, some browsers might not be supported. All of this should be resolved prior to the draft and not last minute. Having everyone create an account and logging in to the auction site a day before the draft helps. 5) We had a draft where two people's computers kept crashing becase they had tons of viruses on their machines. That sucked since it was a lot of waiting. The next year they both got new computers.

Playing in a league full of deadbeats. I won the title and didn't get paid...didn't even get my buy in back. The following year the new commish, who never paid his buy in, says going forward everyone has to pay to play. What a novel concept...told him I wasn't interested.

Seems like a number of wr put up monster games. Roddy, Brit, sjohnson, etc...is this a result of defensive players holding up on hits? Any thoughts on his being a trend? I think the wr come back down to earth next week with def going back to hitting.

I run keeper league that has a 3 year keeper limit. This year we are hitting the keeper limit for the first time and I'm trying to figure out how to handle trade deadlines and/or compensation. Right now if a 3rd year keeper remains on the same owners roster at the end of the year they will lose the player without compensation. 1) Should I keep the week 13 trade deadline or extend it to the end of the playoffs? 2) Should I offer compensation (extra auction money) for owners that will lose their keepers because they hung onto a player? Any other ideas are appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the response pimptastic The acquiring team would get to keep the player for two more years. The trade year would count as 1 year.

If nobody is biting on cutler, either package him with another player or deal Vick. Romo should be fine down the stretch. In my leagues people won't trade for qbs unless they are elite or the hot qb.

That fixed it. Thanks Mike

I don't see any player names in the drop down for an owner's keeper selection. Drop down doesn't open. Running Vista/Office 2007 1) Enabled macros on compiler and buddy 2) updated cheatsheets on the compiler 3) selected keepers from the setup tab on compiler 4) clicked setup draft buddy button 5) drop down below owner is empty Am I missing something? Thanks!

stick w/ portis as the boom-bust guy. along those lines, i say go w/ pep.

I would get Manning. standard scoring w/ 0.5 ppr start qb/rb/rb/wr/wr/wr/te My team: Rivers/Favre MJD/Portis/Ahman/JJ/MBell TO/Driver/Fitz/Crayton/Copper LJSmith His team Manning/ASmith LT/KJ/ Braylon/Glenn/Bennet/Santonio Shockey/Winslow/Cooley leave a link and i'll get your. thx.

stick w/ what you got. good rbs are gold w/ the flex.

Kitna because it should be a shootout.

which one is a go? i think this is a close to a toss up as there is. leaning towards westy, but would like your feedback. leave a link for yours. weather: westy...seattle has had high winds the last couple days. ny forecast looks ok. passing game: westy better in a shootout: westy better in catchup mode: westy turnovers: westy offense minded: westy biased homer pick: westy (go hawks!) running game: gore better with lead: gore goal line looks: gore the offense: gore

If Taylor is limited, then MJD would be the better threat to score multiple TDs.

i think you have to stick with AJ as well.

booker, henderson brees is spreading it around enough to make him a better start then cotch (IMHO).

LJ, Gore plz see mine: http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=259688

holt, housh, branch

gore and rudi fo sho.

cotch, edwards, robinson cotch: jets won't run much on vikes edwards: could get a cheap td like last week and browns will be behind robinson: red zone thread (sort of) please see mine: http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=259688

should i start gore or westbrook this week? thx.

fantasyauctioneer worked pretty good for my league. just make sure everyone has broadband. also, you can do free mocks to get your league used to the action. auction is the best by far. 1) greater parity 2) more skill 3) a lot more fun during draft

I have Gore and Chester. Wanted to trade one of them to upgrade either qb or wr. Here is an offer someone made: CTaylor for Mason/TJones Is this the best I can expect? start rb/rb/wr/wr/wr/k/def My roster: Delhomme, Kitna LJ, Westy, Chet, Gore, MBell, Lundy Holt, Boldin, Alge His roster McNabb (he won't trade him) Lamont, Caddy, Foster, Tjones, Bensen Wayne, Driver, Bennett,Glenn,Mason, Keyshawn

i'd stay put. Fitz 4 chambers is a bigger downgrade then the upgrade w/ miller 4 heap. Plus, Heap is quite capable of getting hurt for long periods of time. Abraham might be good, but i hate trading offense for defense.
