The draft is underway!

This league has just begun! Because this is a new league, it will be a few days before the allocation draft begins (the countdown timer above shows when the first pick will fire). This is a great time to get a team as you will be able to build it from scratch! If you don't want to wait for the draft, though, check to see if there is a team in an established league that you can take over.

NOTE: As of the last sim, this league was under the minimum 20% capacity. Invite your friends to join MyFootballNow to keep this league alive! Then send them to this league to become the owner of a team! The league will expire at 8/01/2025 8:00 am.

The normal cause of this is that your #2 kicker is #1 on the depth chart elsewhere (usually you have the #1 FG kicker = #2 Kickoffs and vice versa, or you have your #1 punter in as #2 on kicks, etc). What happens is the #1 FG kicker gets benched when starters are pulled, and the #1 Kickoff player also gets benched - because they are both benched, neither are available to enter the game at the other position. Basically, the starters are only benched if there is a #2 behind them, but if the #2 is also a #1 elsewhere the depth chart ends up getting emptied and it falls back on the best player available (which for a kicker is pretty much randomly whoever has the best kicking attributes)

Yes, make sure your kicker and punter are unchecked in the box where you indicate which starters should be pulled.

Check to see if you have 1 kicker #1 for kickoffs and the other kicker #1 for field goal kicker. If this is true, I believe it is because in the pre-season starters are taken out after 1,2,... quarters. Technically, if they are both starters, neither will play when starters are taken out, hence the position players will do the kicking.

EDIT - Okay, I only saw page 1 before posting. And I see JDB has answered this! Carry on...
