The draft is underway!

Click here to go to your war room, or visit the war room item in the draft menu.

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.

Auto Picks are Broken Again/Still/Forever

I forgot to set my draft board for a league, which was my fault, and ended up with this guy in the second round: https://die-hard-fans.myfootballnow.com/player/4910

The problem is that I had 5 RBs on my roster, so definitely not a need, and there were several players on my draft board that were rated much, much higher based on my weights.

I get that setting the draft board is my fault, but this is a bit absurd.

Did you also edit your weights for each position on your draft board? I've made that mistake before. I still make that mistake.

I thought of that. RBs were a little higher, but not high enough to justify picking that guy over an 80 rated player.

His low volatility surely played a part. I believe the default volatility influence for auto-picking is 20. In my experience that can lead to some pretty strange picks jumping to the top after the 1st round.

It would be best, in the case of a no draft board PLUS no set preference for auto, that draft picks pick best player available by position of most need via position distribution settings.
I hope this may be possible to code, t would fix "dead teams" big time.
While I am at it, round 5-7 draft picks should be rookie 3 yr minimum signings, not 4 yr max ;)
would go a long way to prevent ai driven contract inflation.
