| 1. | How do I set up a keeper/dynasty league draft on MyFantasyLeague.com?
Answer: If you have a keeper or dynasty league where some or all players on rosters are carried over from year to year, there is a certain sequence of events that you will need to go through to prepare for your league for the new season on MyFantasyLeague.com. This How To guide will walk you through those steps.
IF YOU HAD A LEAGUE WITH US IN 2012
1. From your 2012 league home page, log in as the league commissioner, and click on the commissioner home page message link to upgrade your league to a 2003 league. Log into this new 2003 league as Commissioner.
2. Go to the For Commissioners > Setup > Players and Rosters - Transfer Rosters screen and check the checkbox next to each player that should be transferred from the 2012 end-of-season rosters. This will move those players onto each owner's active roster for your 2012 league, and make those players un-draftable for your 2003 league.
If your League Chooses to Run an Online Draft:
3. Go to your 2003 league is set up to hold an on-line draft by going to your For Commissioner > General League Setup
page and make sure that the “At the start of the season, rosters are determined by:” option is set to one of the first two"On-line draft”; settings (email or live).
4. Use the For Commissioners > Setup > Draft Order Setup - All Rounds
and Draft Order Setup - One Round
to define your overall 2003 draft order.
Do not use the Draft Order Setup - One Round option to manually account for future draft pick trades as these will be automatically accounted for when importing your traded picks.
5. If you had a 2012 league with us, and allowed owners to trade future year draft picks in 2012, go to the For Commissioners > Setup > Draft Setup - Import Future Draft Pick Trades option to have the system automatically update your 2003 draft order based on the actual 2012 draft pick trades. Note that it is important that you do this step BEFORE letting owners actively trade on the site, as otherwise there will be confusion due what looks like duplicate listings of draft picks on your For Owners > Trades.
6. Selecting Keepers:
Once your rosters are transferred and you have enabled an option on the For Commissioner > General League Setup to determine your rosters you will then select your keepers.
To allow owners to select their keepers for your league you will need to do the following.
- Go to the Setup > Keepers Setup screen and define your minimum and maximum values for your keepers.
- Once you've set up keeper requirements, you will need to go to the Setup > League Calendar Setup page to set up a “Select Keepers” system event in which owners can select their keepers. You will need both a start and end date for this event.
- During this time, owners may go to the Reports > Franchise > Keepers page to declare their keepers. At the end of the Keeper event, owners will be able to see all selected keepers by all owners on this page.
- Then, as commissioner, you will need to process these keepers once the event is complete by going to the Setup Select Keepers . The screen will display the players selected by each owner. As commissioner you will simply process these keeper requests for your owners. Any players not selected will be dropped from the roster.
You will have the option to place these players “in lieu of” a draft pick if you choose to run an online draft and have your Draft Order defined. For example, if your league rules dictate that an owner can keep up to three players, in lieu of their first 3 rounds of draft picks, when the commissioner loads the keepers onto the rosters at the beginning of the season, he may indicate what draft pick the owner has given up for that keeper player. Once the commissioner has completed the “select keepers” step, the system will automatically update the draft report to indicate the keeper players in their appropriate slot, and also automatically skip over that pick when it comes up in your draft.
To have the Commissioner select keepers for the league:
- Go to the For Commissioners > Setup > Players and Rosters - Select Keepers screen to specify which players should be retained on each franchise roster. Any players not selected will be dropped from the roster. If the 2003 draft has been defined, you can optionally define the specific draft pick taken by each keeper player. For example, if your league rules dictate that an owner can keep up to three players, in lieu of their first 3 rounds of draft picks, when the commissioner loads the keepers onto the rosters at the beginning of the season, he may indicate what draft pick the owner has given up for that keeper player. Once the commissioner has completed the “select keepers” step, the system will automatically update the draft report to indicate the keeper players in their appropriate slot, and also automatically skip over that pick when it comes up in your draft.
7. Finally, make sure that all of your other draft settings in the For Commissioners > Setup - Draft Setup screens are correct for your league draft, and then you'll be all ready to start your draft.
IF YOU ARE NEW TO MFL IN 2003
1. Go to the For Commissioners > Setup > Players and Rosters > Load/Unload Rosters page, and indicate what players initially should be put on what rosters for each franchise. This will make those players un-draftable for your 2003 league.
If your League Chooses to Run an Online Draft:
2. Go to your 2003 league is set up to hold an on-line draft by going to your For Commissioner > General League Setup
page and make sure that the “At the start of the season, rosters are determined by:” option is set to one of the first two "On-line draft”; settings (email or live).
3. Use the For Commissioners > Setup > Draft Order Setup - All Rounds
and Draft Order Setup - One Round
to define your overall 2003 draft order.
If you had traded draft picks in your previous site you can use the For Commissioners > Setup >
Draft Order Setup - One Round
to edit the individual picks/rounds to account for these traded picks.
4. Selecting Keepers:
Once your rosters are transferred and you have enabled an option on the For Commissioner > General League Setup to determine your rosters you will then select your keepers.
To allow owners to select their keepers for your league you will need to do the following.
- Go to the Setup > Keepers Setup screen and define your minimum and maximum values for your keepers.
- Once you've set up keeper requirements, you will need to go to the Setup > League Calendar Setup page to set up a “Select Keepers” system event in which owners can select their keepers. You will need both a start and end date for this event.
- During this time, owners may go to the Reports > Franchise > Keepers page to declare their keepers. At the end of the Keeper event, owners will be able to see all selected keepers by all owners on this page.
- Then, as commissioner, you will need to process these keepers once the event is complete by going to the Setup Select Keepers . The screen will display the players selected by each owner. As commissioner you will simply process these keeper requests for your owners. Any players not selected will be dropped from the roster.
You will have the option to place these players “in lieu of” a draft pick if you choose to run an online draft and have your Draft Order defined. For example, if your league rules dictate that an owner can keep up to three players, in lieu of their first 3 rounds of draft picks, when the commissioner loads the keepers onto the rosters at the beginning of the season, he may indicate what draft pick the owner has given up for that keeper player. Once the commissioner has completed the “select keepers” step, the system will automatically update the draft report to indicate the keeper players in their appropriate slot, and also automatically skip over that pick when it comes up in your draft.
To have the Commissioner select keepers for the league:
- Go to the For Commissioners > Setup > Players and Rosters - Select Keepers screen to specify which players should be retained on each franchise roster. Any players not selected will be dropped from the roster. If the 2003 draft has been defined, you can optionally define the specific draft pick taken by each keeper player.

Once the commissioner has completed the “select keepers” step, the system will automatically update the draft report to indicate the keeper players in their appropriate slot, and also automatically skip over that pick when it comes up in your draft.
5. Finally, make sure that all of your other draft settings in the For Commissioners > Setup - Draft Setup screens are correct for your league draft, and then you'll be all ready to start your draft.

| 2. | How do I Upgrade my 2012 league to a new 2013 league?
Answer: Go to your league and log in as commissioner. Once logged in go to your home page where a message should appear with a link to upgrade your league to 2013. Follow these instructions and you will create your 2013 league.
Note: Once you upgrade to 2013 you should not use your 2012 league for transactions, but instead use only as a historical reference.

| 3. | What information gets transferred over when I upgrade my 2012 league to 2013?
Answer: In general, things that are specific to a season do not get carried over, and things that might be common across all seasons for a league do get carried over. To give specific examples of things that are not carried over from season-to-season:
• Message board posts. If you'd like to carry over a message board post from year to year, you'll need to copy/paste the post from your 2012 league message board into your 2013 league message board.
• Accounting balances. If your league allows owners to carry over accounting balances from year to year, you'll need to use the "Edit Accounting Records" page on your 2013 league to manually give franchises the appropriate start of the season debits/credits.
• Polls, articles, standings, transactions.
To give specific examples of things that are carried over from season-to-season:
• All league rules, including league scoring rules.
• All league calendar events. The system attempts to automatically adjust dates for all calendar events for the new year, but you must review your 2013 league calendar to make sure it is correct for the new year.
• All franchise names and other franchise information entered on the franchise setup pages.
• League appearance/colors/skins/fonts/etc.
• League rosters (however, these require an extra step and for keeper/dynasty leagues via the Transfer Rosters screen). Also see the Keeper/Dynasty League How To page for additional, related information.

| 4. | Can I enter my league history from a prior season that I ran on another league management site into MyFantasyLeague.com?
Answer: Yes, definitely. To do this, start by setting up a league as you normally would. To set up league corresponding to one of the following seasons, click on a link below:
Once you've completed the basic league setup, if your league was hosted on CBS, ESPN, Yahoo or Fleaflicker in the past, see this FAQ for additional detailed instructions. Otherwise, you'll need these do the following steps, in order:
- From the historic league, use the "For Commissioners > Setup > Adjust Scores and Standings > Franchise Score Adjuster" option to manually assign the correct scores for to the correct franchises for each week of the season. Or, you may use the "For Commissioners > Setup > Adjust Scores and Standings > Import Franchise Score Adjustments" option to do more of a "batch import" of weekly scores.
- If your league is a head-to-head league, use the "For Commissioners > Setup > Fantasy Schedule Setup > Weekly Schedule Setup" option to re-create the fantasy schedule for that season.
- Use the "For Commissioners > Recalculate Standings" option, which should update your league standings report so it shows accurate standings.
- Then (and only then, after your historical season standings are correct), go to your current season league, and using the "For Commissioners > Setup > League History Setup > General League History Setup" page, and enter your historical league home page URLs.
- Wait up to 24 hours, and the system will automatically import your historical league results and franchises into your current season's records reports.

| 5. | How do I set up a league on MyFantasyLeague.com?
Answer: While there are countless ways to define a fantasy league using MyFantasyLeague.com, there are a number of basic steps that all new commissioners should take. The following should be used as a guideline to help you to define much of your league's setup in a short amount of time.
1. Define the initial 2013 league parameters using the For Commissioners > Setup > General League Setup
screen.
At a minimum, you'll need to define a league name, league email, password, and the number of franchises and roster spots for your league. If you plan on holding an online draft, be sure to select this (final) option. Go to our Draft How To
to determine which type of draft is right for your league.
Once you click on the Save League Setup button, the system will generate a new league for you. There's absolutely no purchase obligation for setting up a league.
NOTE: Upon completion of this step, you will be taken back to your home page. The "League Setup - Next Steps" message will appear only for the commissioner account. At the top It will include your 5-digit league ID which corresponds to the last 5 characters of your home page web address (URL). Please use this number with all correspondence to MyFantasyLeague.com support.
2. Define your franchise (team) information using the For Owners > Franchise Setup
menu item.
The first time you access this (or any other setup menu item), you will be prompted for your league password. Use the password you had defined in the General League Setup above (in step #1).
At a minimum it's a good idea to define the email addresses for all the owners in your league as soon as you can. If you don't have all the addresses now, this isn't a problem as you can always come back to this screen in the future. You might also want to define a team name for each franchise. Notice that each team will already have a system-generated password defined. You can either keep these initial random passwords or overwrite them with new passwords. Click on the Save Franchise Setup button to store all your changes.
3. Define your league's scoring rules using the For Commissioners > Setup > Scoring Setup screens.
There are a variety of ways to accomplish this task as detailed in the Scoring Setup How To
topic.
4. Define your league's fantasy schedule using the For Commissioners > Fantasy Schedule Setup screens.
Either choose a canned, system schedule from Select A Packaged Schedule
, manually define a schedule one week at a time via Weekly Schedule Setup
, re-order the weeks in an existing schedule with the Randomize Fantasy Schedule
, or swap two weeks of an existing schedule via the Switch Schedule Weeks
screen.
5. Define your league's starting lineups using the For Commissioners > Setup > Transactions Setup > Weekly Lineup Setup screen.
6. Define your league's waivers (player adds & drops) using the For Commissioners > Setup > League Calendar Setup screen.
7. Additional Setup using the many For Commissioners > Setup > Appearance Setup screens.
At this point your league is fully defined and ready to use. However, we've spent a lot of time to give you some extra bells and whistles. The majority of items used to customize the appearance of your menu are found in the Appearance Setup screens. Go to our overview on home page setup
topic to learn more.
8. Invite franchise owners to your league.
Finally, use the For Commissioners > Setup > Invite Franchise Owners screen to invite owners to your newly-created league. At this point, you can simply allow all the owners go continue their team setup individually.

| 7. | How do I set up a Deluxe League?
Answer: First, determine if you need a deluxe league. If you truly need multiple player pools AND these player pools are separated by conference or division, the the answer is yes. Otherwise, you do not need a deluxe league.
To setup a deluxe league, go to the For Commissioner > Setup > General League Setup screen and specify "Each player can be on xx rosters per *CONFERENCE* (or) *DIVISION*. Note that once you've purchased your league, this setting can only be changed by MyFantasyLeague.com sales support. Please use our MFL Support Form and choose the "Sales/Ordering" category.

| 8. | How do I prepare for a live draft on MyFantasyLeague.com?
Answer: So, you're considering running your "live draft" via the MyFantasyLeague.com web site? Great! Since your live draft is one of the most important parts of the season, it's essential that you do a little preparation for running your draft on-line, to make sure it goes as smoothly as possible. Therefore, we strongly encourage you read and understand all of the following potential "gotchas" related to running your live draft on the MyFantasyLeague.com site.
| 1. | First, determine if a MFL live on-line draft is really what you want to do. |
We recommend live drafts on MyFantasyLeague.com only for leagues that want to conduct a draft all at once, where the owners are geographically separated (i.e., not all together in the same room). If all owners are together in one room, or, you'd like to conduct your draft in a more "slow" email-type fashion, we do not recommend the use of the live draft feature. For a more detailed explanation, please visit our Commissioner Tutorials > How do I decide what draft is right for my league? page.
| 2. | Next, make sure your draft is set up properly. |
| c. | Have owners traded draft picks before the draft, and those draft picks are not yet reflected on your league Draft Reports? If so, you can make those kinds of changes to your draft order via the For Owners > Trades option to be able to trade draft picks between owners. |
| d. | Are owners set up to be allowed to go into "live draft" mode? Go to your For Commissioners > Setup > General League Setup page - make sure that the "At the start of the season, rosters are determined by:" option is set to "On-line, "live" draft that happens all at once, taking a matter of hours to complete." |
| e. | Is your draft timer set up properly? Also in the General Draft & Timer Setup page - look and see what the "Turn Draft Timer:", "Set Timer To:" and "When the timer expires:" options are set to - make sure that they properly reflect your league rules regarding how long an owner can be "on the clock" for, and what happens when that time limit expires. |
| 3. | Next, make sure all owners understand the "pre-draft" feature and the "My Draft List" feature on the MyFantasyLeague.com site. |
The "pre-draft" feature on the site was designed mainly for long-running email-type drafts, but at times it can be helpful for live drafts, too. The most important thing to understand about this feature is the following:
Any pre-draft picks submitted by an owner will be selected as soon as it's that owner's turn to pick for that given pick of the draft. In other words, if you have submitted pre-draft picks for round 2 of your draft, as soon as the team before you in round 2 picks in your draft, the system will go through your pre-draft list at that time (even if you're actively logged into the draft!) and make your pick for you.
If an owner has to step away from his computer for a moment for whatever reason during a live draft, he may want to pre-draft for an upcoming round or two so as to not hold up the draft while he is away, so the system can automatically make his picks for him.
The "My Draft List
" feature allows owners to set up a personal draft list for picks, without automatically having those picks made as soon as the team is on the clock. It should be thought of as more of a personally-defined draft guide.
| 4. | Next, make sure all owners understand the "draft tracker" feature on the MyFantasyLeague.com site. |
The "draft tracker" feature was designed to make a pick for an absent owner. Using rules described in the "How The Draft Tracker Picks Players" section below, owners that allow the timer to expire may be able to have the system make an intelligent pick (based on other 2003 completed drafts) on their behalf.
| 5. | Next, make sure all owners log into the live draft chat room to get a feel for exactly how this live draft will work. |
This is probably the most important step of all - all owners need to at least experiment with the live draft pages a little bit before the start of your live draft to make sure that they don't have any problems accessing those pages from their computer, and get a general feel for how things work before your draft actually starts. Otherwise, you may well spend the first half-hour or more of your draft just making sure everyone is logged on properly, and understand what they need to do on the site.
| 6. | Finally, understand what to do in case of unexpected problems during your live draft. |
For an important real-time event like a live draft, if things go wrong, they can snowball in a hurry. You need to be sure that even after you've done all of the above important steps, you consider the following.
| a. | When the commissioner accesses the live draft screen, the lower window offers a set of 'Commissioner Controls' including: |
Pause Timer - use this to stop the timer in a live draft. Once clicked, this will remove the countdown timer from the live draft page.
Reset Timer - use this item to reset a timer (that may or may not have been previously paused) to the max per-pick timer value.
Skip Pick - click on this link to advance the draft by one pick without making a selection for the current pick.
Undo Last Pick - select this item to revert the draft by a single pick. You can also use item "b" below to undo multiple picks quickly.
Clear Above Messages - click on this link to clear out the entire chat message history for all owners. Once cleared, this information cannot be restored.
| b. | If someone (or the system) makes a pick that you'd like to "undo", you can do that by going to the For Commissioners > Setup > Draft Setup > Revert Draft screen to "back up" your draft to any point in the past, and then continue drafting. Note that after doing a "Revert Draft", everyone in the league must refresh their entire live draft page to see the updated draft results. This is especially useful if several picks were made in error. See also item "a" above (Undo Last Pick) to easily revert a single pick. |
| c. | In some cases it might be easier to just change a draft pick (ie, an owner made an obvious mistake). Use the For Commissioners > Setup > Draft Setup > Change Draft Pick screen to adjust any single pick in the draft. These adjustments will include the text "Replacement pick made by Commissioner" in the comments column of the draft report. After doing a "Change Draft Pick", everyone in the live draft room mush refresh the live draft page to see the updated draft results. |
| d. | When a pick just needs to be skipped for any reason, use the For Commissioners > Setup > Draft Setup > Skip Draft Pick page. Skipped picks will include the text "Pick Skipped By Commissioner" in the comments column of the draft report. |
| c. | If you find that people are having problems getting access to your live draft, and the system is still advancing your draft due to the timer expiring, the first thing you should do is turn off your draft timer via the For Commissioners > Setup > Draft Setup > Draft Timer Setup page for a round or two until everything smooths out a little, and then turning it back on. |
| d. | Sometimes, owners may have unanticipated computer problems, Internet connection problems, personal emergencies, etc. that cause the best laid plans to go to awry. Do you have a backup plan in place in case any unforeseen problems occur? |
| e. | If you have other problems that you can't immediately solve, please use the Help >Help Center option available from all league pages - that page goes over in detail all of the options you have available to you for getting further assistance for your draft problems. |
In conclusion, we know that your live draft on the MyFantasyLeague.com site will be a great success, but to ensure it's success, you need to follow these important instructions above!
IMPORTANT NOTES:
| • | While it's possible to run a live draft without the league commissioner present in the live draft room, we strongly recommend that a league commissioner be present at all times for a live draft. The "Commissioner Controls" mentioned above are essential for recovering from problems that might happen during the course of a live draft - without a commissioner present, no one will be able to pause the draft timer, undo draft picks, or any of the other sometimes necessary commissioner options mentioned above. This situation becomes extremely difficult to manage for deluxe leagues that hold multiple drafts at the same time. |
| • | If pick 1.01 has been pre-drafted, and the draft timer is on, the draft will start as soon as the Draft Start Time passes. However, if pick 1.01 has not been pre-drafted, then the timer does not actually start until the franchise owner of pick 1.01 actively makes his/her selection. This has been done to allow all owners extra time to get into the live draft. |
| • | In some circumstances, all owners may have to use the "Refresh" button on their web browser to get an up-to-date live draft page. If any of the following events happens in your live draft, "Refreshing" your live draft page will bring it back up-to-date: Commissioner does a "Change Draft Pick", commissioner changes the draft timer length on the "Draft Timer Setup" page, or owners trade draft picks in the middle of a live draft (or, anything else along these lines that causes the draft order to change in the middle of a live draft). |
| • | If there will be two different franchise owners at one computer during a live draft, you might be tempted to let each owner "take turns" at the computer, logging on and logging off of the site between picks. We strongly discourage you from taking this approach, as it will lead to a lot of confusion and delays in your draft. Instead, we recommend installing two different web browsers on the computer (Firefox - available at http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
is an excellent [and free!] web browser) - then, one owner can remain logged into the site using each browser, so they only need to take turns at the keyboard, and they will not continually log in and log out of the site when it's their turn to pick. |
| • | If a majority of franchise owners are at one computer with a few located elsewhere - AND - an online MFL draft has been defined, have the commissioner login to make all the picks for the group of owners as the constant login-pick-logout for each team would be too cumbersome and interfere with your online draft. |
| • | Here's a detailed scenario from a customer who reported unexpected live draft problems, even though they thought they had completely prepared for their live draft. In their testing of the live draft room, they did it with one laptop computer on a wireless network. When their real live draft started, there were many laptops on that same wireless network, which completely overwhelmed the network's bandwidth, effectively grinding their live draft to a halt. The solution to the problem? Only have one commissioner use his laptop for the live draft, entering everyone's picks as they happened. |
| • | Since the league chat feature is per league, and live drafts for deluxe leagues are per division or per conference, the chat module displayed in the live draft will display all league chat messages, and not just the chat messages associated with the current deluxe league division/conference draft, which might cause some confusion if multiple drafts for a deluxe league are happening at the same time.
|
How The Draft Tracker Picks Players
| 1. | Look at league's starting lineup requirements. Look at franchise's current roster. If there are any holes in the current roster that prevents the owner from submitting a complete starting lineup, get a list of those positions that the franchise needs. If franchise can submit a complete starting lineup already, look at all positions. |
| 2. | Look at current draft tracker results. Given how many drafts are collated there, determine a cutoff - the cutoff is the minimum number of drafts that a player has to be drafted in to be looked at (otherwise, he'll just be ignored). This prevents players that were drafted in only a few leagues, but happened to be drafted very high, from being assigned to a franchise. The cutoff starts out at 5% of the total number of drafts. For example, if there are currently 150 drafts in the draft tracker, the system will only look at players who have been picked in 8 or more drafts |
| 3. | The system takes up to 4 passes over all draft tracker results in order to try to pick a player for you. In the first pass, it tries to fill a starting lineup need looking at only players that we drafted in the above cutoff number of drafts. If no players were found in the first pass, it halves the number of drafts for the cutoff, and looks again. If no players were found in the second pass, it halves the number of drafts for the cutoff again, and looks again. Finally, if no players were found in the third pass, it ignores the starting lineup needs, and looks for any player that was drafted in at least the lowest cutoff number of drafts, and looks again. |
The most important take-home message from this long explanation is that draft tracker picks were originally designed for (and are still intended for) a "last-ditch, if all else fails, for some reason the owner (or someone else) messed up and didn't make his pick, so let me make what might be an appropriate pick" kind of situation, and definitely not a "make the same pick that a well-informed semi-expert, who understands all the nuances of my league rules, injuries, etc., to hopefully make the pick best pick possible" kind of situation. In other words, if you expect to have a perfect roster at the end of your draft, you need to be present for your draft, and not rely on the draft tracker to make picks for you. Some specific situations when the Drat Tracker has been known to not pick good, or even pick at all, for leagues, include:
| 1. | If your league drafts early in the off-season, it may not have accumulated enough information to pick for your league. |
| 2. | If your league uses relatively less used positions (Off, ST, TMQB, TMPK, PN, TMPN, and to a certain extent, IDP positions [DL/DT/LB/CB/S]). |
| 3. | If your league has an extremely deep roster (say, 400 or more players on your fantasy rosters in total), it may not be able to pick players towards the end of the draft. |

| 10. | How do I Create My Draft List & Draft Preferences?
Answer: The My Draft List allows an owner to create his or her own customized master draft list which can either be used for an online MFL-hosted draft, or printed off to be used for an offline draft. It is primarily used as a guide to aid an owner in actively making his or her picks throughout the entire draft.
- To create your Draft List simply go to your For Owners > My Draft List.
- The left hand column is a list of all Available players based on your league settings. You are able to sort the players either via the ADP Ranking or Alphabetically.
- To add players to your list simply highlight the players’ name and click the button Add To List >. This will add the player to the right handed column, your Current My Draft List.
Alternately you can highlight a player from the right hand column and remove them from your Current My Draft List by choosing the "Remove From List" button in the event a player is mistakenly added.
- You also have the option of adding all players from the list of Available Players to the current My Draft list by choosing Add All To List >>.
- Once you have added your players to your Current My Draft List you may arrange them in order of importance to aid in your draft by using the Action buttons. Highlight the player you with to move and click either the Move Up or Move Down buttons to place them in their proper position.
- When finished, you MUST click on the Save My Draft List button in order to apply your changes.
If you conduct your draft on myfantasyleague.com, and rely on the system to pick your roster for you via either by the my draft list player list, or the draft tracker player list, you can have more control over what position is picked in what round of your draft.
Go to the For Owners > My Draft Preferences and select one or more positions to pick in each round of your draft. If the system does make a pick for that owner in that round of the draft, the system will first try to pick a player in the position that the owner has specified on this page. This will give the owner a lot more control over what positions are filled when, preventing things like selecting too many backup players in any one position.
