Draft Board Help

By Wolfpack

So I am trying to understand the draft board. I've adjusted the player weights and set number of selections. Now is there a way to manually adjust that board?

If I add a player to the Manual priority set (in the middle of the screen) then those players go in front of all the others.

The draft board has your manual queue on the top, and your auto-queue beneath it. You can fill up your manual queue by dragging players into it; if your manual queue empties before your pick fires, then it will fall back on the auto-queue.

You can either try to adjust the weights so that you are happy with the results, or you can make sure your manual queue is to your liking. You can't eliminate the auto-queue, but you can stack your manual queue in such a way that your auto-queue never fires.

Thanks for the reply.

Might be nice to allow someone to edit the auto draft board once it is built. Messing with the % things is very tedious when it maybe doesnt have to be.

That's interesting, I hadn't thought of that. I like that idea - I'll put it into the feature list.

I think being able to transfer player weights between leagues would help in reviewing the draft also.

Additionally, I'd like to be able to sort the players in the War Room, by various things, just like in Player Search. Is this possible?

Good points all around. I have already added to the feature queue the ability to transfer weights, that is near the top, just a few other items are above it. You can currently filter the available players by position by changing the drop-down above them, but are you wanting to sort by individual attributes as well, or what exactly are you thinking?

a question. Once you set the auto queue is it set for the entire draft or can it be changed from round to round.

It is set for the entire draft - as you draft players in a position, that position's weight reduces. If you have more than 1 for the target number, it will essentially multiply the weight by the target number minus the number you have already selected at the position. I always set up my autoqueue instead of manually picking players, I just keep tweaking the weights until I get the balance I like. That ensures I don't overpick at a given position.
